Summary

In "Man's Place in the Universe," Alfred Russel Wallace articulates a profound inquiry into humanity's role within the vast cosmos. Employing a lucid and engaging literary style, Wallace deftly combines scientific reasoning with philosophical inquiry, presenting a synthesis of evolutionary theory and cosmology grounded in 19th-century scientific discourse. The book is a contemplative examination of not only natural selection but also the potential significance of human consciousness within the wider tapestry of the universe, reflecting the zeitgeist of the Victorian era and its burgeoning fascination with science and nature. Alfred Russel Wallace, a prominent naturalist and biogeographer, co-discovered the theory of evolution through natural selection alongside Charles Darwin. His extensive travels and research in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago provided him with unique insights into species distribution and adaptation, shaping his views on the relationship between humanity and the universe. This intellectual curiosity, coupled with his engagement in debates on spirituality and science, found expression in this seminal work, reflecting his quest to reconcile scientific understanding with metaphysical contemplation. Readers intrigued by the philosophical implications of evolution and the interplay between human existence and the cosmos will find "Man's Place in the Universe" an enlightening exploration. Wallace's blend of science and philosophy invites a deeper reflection on the human condition, making this book a vital resource for scholars, scientists, and anyone attuning to the larger questions of existence.

    With Mountain Madness, Clinton Crockett Peters chronicles his travels and personal transformation from a West Texas evangelical to mountain guide-addict to humbled humanist after a near-fatal injury in Japan's Chichibu Mountains. From 2007 to 2010, Peters lived in Kosuge Village (population nine hundred), nestled in central Japan's peaks, where he was the only foreigner in the rugged town. Using these three years as a frame, this essay collection profiles who he was before Japan, why he became obsessed with mountains, and his fallout from mountain obsession, including an essay on Craig Arnold, the poet who disappeared on a Japanese volcano. Ultimately, the collection asks, how can landscape create and end identities?

    A book to help the ordinary birdwatcher appreciate the fascinating songs, stories, and science of common birds. 
 
 
 
Jack Gedney's studies of birds provide resonant, affirming answers to the questions: Who is this bird? In what way is it beautiful? Why does it matter? Masterfully linking an abundance of poetic references with up-to-date biological science, Gedney shares his devotion to everyday Western birds in fifteen essays. Each essay illuminates the life of a single species and its relationship to humans, and how these species can help us understand birds in general. A dedicated birdwatcher and teacher, Gedney finds wonder not only in the speed and glistening beauty of the Anna's hummingbird, but also in her nest building. He acclaims the turkey vulture's and red-tailed hawk's roles in our ecosystem, and he venerates the inimitable California scrub jay's work planting acorns. Knowing that we hear birds much more often than we see them, Gedney offers his expert's ear to help us not only identify bird songs and calls but also understand what the birds are saying. The crowd at the suet feeder will never look quite the same again. Join Gedney in the enchanted world of these not-so-ordinary birds.
