Synopsis

This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1853 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Palm Trees of the Amazon and their Uses' is an article detailing Wallace's observations during his travels in South America. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.

    Cryptography is a direct link to the blockchain world. A blockchain is resistant to modification of the data and it is an open distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. If simply understood it is a growing list of records called blocks. And each block is a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. Blockchain was invented by a group of people called Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 to serve as a public transaction of cryptocurrency bitcoin. The identity of that group called Satoshi Nakamoto is still unknown. The invention of blockchain in reference to bitcoin made it the first currency or digital currency to solve the double spending problem without a need of a trusted authority of central server. Blockchain is also considered as a payment rail. There is no security in this chain, so some time computer world marketing also called it snake oil.

    The Promise I Kept is a poignant, funny, and often heartbreaking story of a daughter's journey to live up to a vow that she never put her father, Jack, into a nursing home, his greatest fear for his final days. Thirteen years later, now a single mother, the marker would be called in after her mother's passing. For the next nine years, Jackie Madden Haugh would watch over her father's care, first in his home with live-in help and finally with her. Totally unprepared for her new role, Jackie thought it would be an easy job. After all, her kids saw her as Super Mom ready to take on all of life's messes. But she quickly found her world filled with adult diapers, a pharmacy of pills, and days heavily laced in utter boredom. Cut off from friends, her children, and work, she began to crumble. As the days melted together, Jackie came to understand the rocky road they traveled was not about what she was doing for him, but what her father was teaching her that would change the trajectory of how she'd continue to live her life: in constant gratitude and with a heart filled with enormous love.
