Synopsis

In his seminal work, "The Geographical Distribution of Animals" (Vol. 1 & 2), Alfred Russel Wallace offers a meticulous examination of the factors influencing the distribution of animal species across the globe. His comprehensive analysis is grounded in biogeography and draws upon an extensive collection of field observations, emphasizing the interplay between environment, geography, and zoological distribution. Wallace'Äôs literary style is precise and informative, indicative of the Victorian scientific discourse, and imbued with a vivid prose that reflects his passion for natural history. This work not only elucidates the patterns of species distribution but also challenges the prevailing notions of the time, laying the foundations for modern biogeographical studies. Alfred Russel Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, emerged as a pioneering naturalist whose explorations in the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago shaped his understanding of evolution and adaptation. His scientific inquiries were fueled by a profound curiosity about the natural world and a determination to understand the mechanisms of diversity. Wallace's theory of natural selection, co-developed with Darwin, amplifies the intellectual context in which this book was conceived, underscoring his significance in the history of evolutionary biology. This work is essential for scholars and enthusiasts of natural history, ecology, and evolution, as it provides an in-depth understanding of species distribution from a historical perspective. Wallace'Äôs insights remain profoundly relevant, making this dual volume an invaluable addition to any serious library on biological sciences. The meticulous detail and innovative thinking presented in these volumes will undoubtedly inspire readers to further explore the intricate tapestry of life on Earth.

    Call of the Kingfisher is the enchanting debut from composer and wildlife recordist Nick Penny. This love letter to a short stretch of Northamptonshire's River Nene celebrates all the wild things that live there, especially the kingfishers. Nick has walked beside the river at Oundle for four decades. But for a whole year he gave the waterway all the time it asked for. The more attention he gave it, the more he saw the kingfishers and heard their high whistling calls. Set in a lovely but little-known part of England, Call of the Kingfisher relates a year by the river, the author's experiences there and the different people he meets. Other strands are woven around the elusive feathered protagonist: explorations of local history and landscape, from Roman and Bronze Age sites to watermills and centuries-old stone churches; visits at different times and to different places in the valley; homages to naturalists who lived nearby; forest dawns and dusks listening to the precious song of nightingales. But the background tapestry is the sights and sounds, and greens and browns, of the riverbank, shot through with the blue and orange threads of a kingfisher's glowing feathers.As a composer and wildlife recordist, Nick has a deep interest in sounds in the natural environment. He uses the local landscape and wildlife sounds as inspiration, and brings fresh insights into the sounds of the countryside. The book includes access to a number of high-quality birdsong recordings made alongside the River Nene - audio soundbites of nature's riches, from kingfishers and nightingales to owls and cuckoos. This is a book about the things that can be seen and heard when we approach nature with patience and curiosity. It celebrates people who have used that focus to help preserve wildlife and pass on their knowledge to future generations. Above all, Call of the Kingfisher serves as a call to appreciate what we've got, wherever we are, and to use our ears as much as our eyes when we experience the natural world.

    Stalking the Great Killer is the story of Arkansas's struggle to control tuberculosis, and how the state became a model in its treatment of the disease. 
     
     
     
    To place the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective, the authors trace the origins of the disease. Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease, and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control it. 
     
     
     
    In the early twentieth century, Arkansas established a sanatorium and thirty years later, the segregated Black sanitorium. These institutions helped slow the disease but at a cost: removed from families and communities, patients suffered from the isolation. Joseph Bates saw this when he delivered an uncle to the sanitorium in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Bates, now a physician, and his colleague Paul Reagan overcame a resistant medical-political system to develop a new approach to treating the disease. 
     
     
     
    In the age of Covid-19, this history offers valuable lessons about community involvement in public health, the potential efficacy of public-private partnerships, and the importance of leadership in the battle to eradicate disease.

    In this audio listening experience, Sara Dylan will be leading you gently into a quiet meditation while listening to gentle rainfall. You are sheltering from the rain and looking about as the rain falls. 
    You can choose what you see in your mind’s eye; you can look out at the rain as it falls or past the rain into the landscape; you can turn your head and look around and along the street or road. 
    "Rain is predictable, calming, stable, and non-threatening," says Dr Shelby Harris, a behavioural sleep-medicine specialist. According to Harris, steady rainfall noises help lull the brain into falling asleep, block outside noises, and frequently induce a more meditative state that brings on relaxation. 
    Gentle meditative music has been added to enhance your experience. 
     
    This deep sleep meditation has been designed as a sitting meditation to be used at any time of the day, but it works just as well when you are lying down. 
    Enjoy
