  The American Chestnut - An...

  Before 1910 the American chestnut was one of the most common trees in the eastern United States. An important natural resource, chestnut wood was preferred for woodworking, fencing, and building construction, as it was rot resistant and straight grained. The hearty and delicious nuts also fed wildlife, people, and livestock. 
   
   
   
  Ironically, the tree that most piqued the emotions of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Americans has virtually disappeared from the eastern United States. After a blight fungus was introduced into the United States during the late nineteenth century, the American chestnut became functionally extinct. Although the virtual eradication of the species caused one of the greatest ecological catastrophes since the last ice age, considerable folklore about the American chestnut remains. 
   
   
   
  The American Chestnut tells the story of the American chestnut from Native American prehistory through the Civil War and the Great Depression. Davis documents the tree's impact on nineteenth-and early twentieth-century American life, including the decorative and culinary arts. The author also evaluates efforts to restore the American chestnut to its former place in the eastern deciduous forest, including modern attempts to genetically modify the species.

  Interrogates the connections between a city’s physical landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points.In Urban Lowlands, Steven T. Moga looks closely at the Harlem Flats in New York City, Black Bottom in Nashville, Swede Hollow in Saint Paul, and the Flats in Los Angeles, to interrogate the connections between a city’s actual landscape and the poverty and social problems that are often concentrated at its literal lowest points. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective on the history of US urban development from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, Moga reveals patterns of inequitable land use, economic dispossession, and social discrimination against immigrants and minorities. In attending to the landscapes of neighborhoods typically considered slums, Moga shows how physical and policy-driven containment has shaped the lives of the urban poor, while wealth and access to resources have been historically concentrated in elevated areas—truly “the heights.” Moga’s innovative framework expands our understanding of how planning and economic segregation alike have molded the American city.

  Moral Philosophy - Navigating...

  Moral philosophy, or ethics, is the branch of philosophy that examines concepts of right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and injustice. It seeks to understand the foundations of moral principles, how they are applied in human life, and whether moral truths are objective or subjective. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, moral philosophy has played a crucial role in shaping human thought, behavior, and institutions. 
  One of the fundamental questions in moral philosophy is whether morality is a product of reason, emotion, or social convention. Some philosophers argue that moral principles stem from rational deliberation, while others suggest that morality is deeply tied to human emotions, such as compassion and guilt. Social constructivists, on the other hand, emphasize that moral norms evolve through cultural traditions, religious beliefs, and historical contexts. 
  The study of moral philosophy is often divided into three main branches. Meta-ethics explores the nature and meaning of moral language, questioning whether moral statements express objective truths or subjective opinions. Normative ethics examines different ethical theories that propose principles for moral conduct, such as consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Applied ethics focuses on practical moral issues, including debates on human rights, justice, medical ethics, and environmental concerns.

  The New York Times bestselling doctor and author of Clean shows us that it doesn’t matter where you live, how old you are, or what symptoms you suffer from, in 7 days you can change the course of your health forever. 
  The culmination of over thirty years of research, education, and practice, Dr. Alejandro Junger’s revolutionary, seven-day program is based around the core principles of Functional Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Intermittent Fasting. Each one of these practices alone can have positive and lasting effects, but when used together, they propel the body to health, weight-loss, symptom-reversal, and restoration.  
  The air we breathe, the water we drink and bathe in, the skin products we use, the detergents we clean with, the medications we take, but mostly the foods we eat, are loaded with toxic chemicals that cause all kinds of dysfunctions. We know this, but we feel powerless to control the effects - constipation, body aches and pains, allergies, migraines, stubborn weight, sleeplessness, depression and anxiety to name a few. In time and left unabated, these symptoms develop into full blown diseases, many of them life-altering, but even in the best-case scenario, they leave us uncomfortable and unwell. CLEAN7 is the medically-proven seven-day answer to this toxic overload. The one-week program you’ll discover in this audiobook offers day-by-day, hour-by-hour guidance with easy-to-follow meal plans and delicious recipes that guarantee success.  
   “Everything you need to know is in these pages and within one week you will not only feel amazing, look better, be mentally sharper, but you will also have a firm understanding of which foods work best for you and which foods work against you. And you will be able to discover this for yourself without expensive and often inaccurate food allergy tests. CLEAN7 is the health jumpstart that you have been waiting for.” Alejandro Junger, MD 
  If you have been searching for a book or program to help you take that next step for your overall health, CLEAN7 is the answer. Discover what it truly means to be healthy.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
