It s not easy, Catherine Reid writes, to love a person and a place in equal measure. Love she does, however, as described in these intimate, lyric essays about the land and people around her. With the inside perspective of a native New Englander combined with her outsider status as a lesbian, Reid explores such paradoxes as those that arise from harnessing wild rivers or legalizing same-sex marriage. Her fascination with natural phenomena whether bird... Quietly powerful essays, weaving keenly observed insights into the mysteries of nature with those of family and community

Four Fields
ISBN: 9781619026216 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Tim Dee tells the story of four green fields spread around the world: their grasses, their hedges, their birds, their skies, and both their natural and human histories. These four fields--walkable, mappable, man-made, mowable, knowable, but also secretive, mysterious, wild, contested, and changing--play central roles in the sweeping panorama of world history and in the lives of individuals. In Dee's telling, a field is never just a setting for great battles or natural disasters, though it is often this as well. A field is the oldest and simplest and truest measure of what a man...

Since the Second World War ended, America has performed like a gyroscope losing its balance, wobbling this way and that, unable to settle into itself and its own great promise. Wendell Berry has been a voice for that promise, a voice for reason and hope and urgent concern. As the United States prepares to leave its long war in Afghanistan, it now must contemplate the necessity of sending troops back to Iraq, recalling General Colin Powell's advice to President Bush: "If you break it, you own it," as
the world's hot spots threaten to spread over the globe with the ferocity of a war of... Since the Second World War ended, America has performed like a gyroscope losing its balance, wobbling this way and that, unable to settle into itself ...

Out Into The Beautiful World
ISBN: 9781943003020 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When I was a young man I thought that metaphysics was the most exciting (and important) thing in the world. I wish now that I had not wasted so much time on the imponderable questions of metaphysics but had used it to more worthwhile effect. Rather than study philosophy, I should have studied insects. In the little essays that follow, I have no grand theory to prove, no single message to convey. Small things and slight occurrences have caught my attention and caused me to reflect a little. I hope only to please the reader. - Theodore Dalrymple

La teoria de Darwin de la evolucion se basa en hechos clave y e inferencias extraidas de los mismos, que el biologo Ernst Mayr resumio como sigue: Cada especie es suficientemente fertil para que si sobreviven todos los descendientes para reproducir la poblacion crecera. Aunque hay fluctuaciones periodicas, las poblaciones siguen siendo aproximadamente del mismo tamano. Los recursos como los alimentos son limitados y son relativamente estables en el tiempo. Sobreviene una lucha por la supervivencia. Los individuos de una poblacion varian considerablemente de unos a otros. Gran parte de esta...
