Sinossi

In "The Geographical Distribution of Animals (Vol. 1 & 2)", Alfred Russel Wallace presents a pioneering exploration of biogeography, interweaving meticulous observations of flora and fauna with the emerging scientific principles of evolution and natural selection. Written in a clear and engaging style characteristic of Victorian naturalism, this work meticulously categorizes species and their habitats across various world regions, delving into the effects of geography on biodiversity. Wallace's keen insights laid foundational stones for modern ecology, revealing intricate relationships between environment and species distribution, emphasizing the significance of geographical barriers in the evolution of life. Alfred Russel Wallace, often heralded as the father of biogeography, was a contemporary and collaborator of Charles Darwin. His extensive travels across the tropical regions, including the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, enriched his understanding of the natural world and informed his theories on evolution. The robust scientific inquiries and experiences that Wallace amassed during his expeditions reflect a profound dedication to understanding life's diversity, elevating his work in this volume to a cornerstone of biological sciences. This seminal work is highly recommended for scholars, ecologists, and naturalists alike, offering a comprehensive and detailed examination of animal distribution that is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. Wallace's unique perspective not only enhances our understanding of animal geography but also invites readers to appreciate the intricate web of life that defines our planet.

    What the Bears Know - How I...

    In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California, hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed nonlethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. 
     
     
     
    In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you'll never look at bears or nature the same way again.

    Loose of Earth - A Memoir

    Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn was the oldest of five children, a twelve-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, whose evangelical family eschewed public education for homeschooling, and wove improbable scientific theories into literal interpretations of the Bible. Then her father, a former air force pilot, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of thirty-eight, and, "it was like throwing gasoline on the Holy Spirit." Stirred by her mother, the family committed to an extreme diet and sought deliverance from equally extreme sources: a traveling tent preacher, a Malaysian holy man, a local faith-healer who led services called "Miracles on 34th Street." 
     
     
     
    What they didn't know was that their lives were entangled with a larger, less visible environmental catastrophe. Firefighting foams containing carcinogenic compounds had contaminated the drinking water of every military site where her father worked. Commonly referred to as "forever chemicals," the presence of PFAS in West Texas besieged a landscape already burdened with vanishing water, taking up residence in wells and in the bloodstreams of people who lived there. An arresting portrait of the pernicious creep of decline, and a powerful cry for environmental justice, Loose of Earth captures the desperate futility and unbending religious faith that devastated a family, leaving them waiting for a miracle that would never come.

    It’s become increasingly clear that healthcare workplaces are filled with non-inclusive behavior. People who are underrepresented because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and identity, disabilities, and other factors regularly face biases and challenges that hold them back from success. These include everything from harassment, dismissive behavior, and lack of credit for their contributions, to pay inequity, extra hurdles to advancement, and more. And while many organizations are looking to address these issues with top-down initiatives, there's also an important role for individuals to play in creating a more inclusive culture via everyday acts of allyship. 
    In this new book, inclusive workplace expert Karen Catlin brings her popular Better Allies® approach to healthcare workplaces. 
    Belonging in Healthcare provides a practical, research-based guide for how to be a better ally for coworkers who are from underrepresented groups. Filled with firsthand accounts from nurses, physicians, staff, administrators, and professors, combined with published studies, the book will help you spot situations where you can create a more inclusive workplace and everyday actions to reshape culture so everyone can thrive. 
    This is the book that allies in healthcare have been searching for: an industry-specific guide to the mindsets, strategies, and changes needed to make their workplaces more equitable from the inside out.
