Synopsis

Plains of America explores how the vast grasslands of the United States have profoundly shaped the nation's history, ecology, and cultural identity. It examines the intricate ecosystems that support diverse wildlife, the sustainable practices of indigenous peoples who thrived there for millennia, and the transformative impact of modern agriculture. The book reveals how these plains, once dominated by bison and managed sustainably by indigenous communities, have been altered through westward expansion and agricultural practices, leading to contemporary challenges like soil erosion and water scarcity.

 
The narrative progresses by first introducing the plains' geological history and diverse ecosystems. It then delves into the pre-Columbian era, highlighting the cultures and environmental knowledge of indigenous peoples. A significant portion addresses westward expansion and the rise of agriculture, analyzing their effects. Ultimately, the book discusses current issues and potential solutions for a sustainable future, drawing from archaeological records, historical documents, and ecological studies. It presents a microcosm of the relationship between humans and nature, emphasizing the need for adaptation and sustainability.

    The Chemical History of a Candle is a series of 6 lectures on chemistry presented to a juvenile audience in 1848. Taught by Michael Faraday - a chemist and physist, and regarded as the best experimentalist in the history of science - it is probably the most famous of the Christmas Lectures of the Royal Society. Taking the everyday burning of a candle as a starting point, Faraday spans the arc from combustion and its products, via the components of water and air (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon), back to the type of combustion that happens in the human body when we breathe. The final lecture "On Platinum" describes a then new method to produce large quantities of Platinum. It was delivered before the Royal Institution on February 22, 1861. (Summary by Availle.)

As his tour of duty draws to an end, Pen cannot leave the dogs of Now Zad to their fates. He begins hatching plans to help them escape to a better life. One Dog at a Time is the gripping account of one man's courage and humanity, and his fight to make a difference in the most hostile and dangerous environments, one dog at a time.
