Summary

In "The Curious Book of Birds," Abbie Farwell Brown intricately weaves narratives that explore the enchanting world of avian life, employing a charming and whimsical literary style reminiscent of early 20th-century children's literature. Each chapter is a delightful exploration of various bird species, blending factual ornithological insights with fanciful storytelling that captivates the imagination. Brown's work stands out within the context of a burgeoning interest in natural history during her time, appealing to both young readers and adults alike by fostering an appreciation for nature's marvels through lyrical prose and vivid illustrations. Abbie Farwell Brown was a prominent American author, born in 1871, whose passion for nature often found expression through her writing. Educated in a literary environment, she was steeped in the cultural movements of her era, including the growing fascination with the natural sciences. Her own experiences in outdoor exploration, along with her efforts in environmental education, profoundly influenced her desire to inspire a sense of wonder about the natural world in her readers. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Curious Book of Birds" to anyone who cherishes literature that ignites curiosity and nurtures a love for the environment. Brown's impeccable storytelling and insightful observations not only entertain but also educate, making this book a delightful addition to the library of any nature enthusiast or aspiring young reader.

    Accepted Science & Paradigms...

    As an engineer and student of science I try to keep up with publications of the latest discoveries and paradigm shifts in science around the world. 
    I believe that there are several big problems with science today. First is that much science is biased which might be because some scientists want to keep their point of view prominent and the others because many focuses of science are supported by biased funding. This will be discussed in this book. 
    The other issue is that many scientists limit their thinking to only support age old paradigms and refuse to accept changes to their theories or throw out evidence because it doesn’t conform their current beliefs. 
    In this book we will cover many issues such as the belief among many cosmologists that the Big Bang never happened. 
    We will also look at ideas we thought settled but which have lots of contrary evidence and anecdotal counter stories such as time travel and dimensional crossings. 
    After you read this book you may question much of what is commonly accepted by scientists in the world today.

    The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
    "My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
    "It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."

    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
    		 
    The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
    		 
    Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.
