Sinossi

In "The Birds of Shakespeare," Archibald Geikie embarks on a meticulous exploration of the avian imagery woven throughout the works of William Shakespeare. This eloquent study marries literary criticism with natural history, shedding light on how these feathered creatures serve as metaphors, symbols, and thematic elements within the Shakespearean canon. Geikie employs a rich, descriptive style that not only illuminates the text but also reflects the Elizabethan context in which Shakespeare wrote, revealing how the natural world influenced social and artistic expressions of the time. Archibald Geikie, a distinguished geologist and a passionate naturalist, was deeply interested in the interplay between nature and literature. His scholarly pursuits were shaped by a profound appreciation for the natural sciences, leading him to investigate Shakespeare's nuanced references to birds that often mirror the complexities of human emotion and societal issues. Geikie's interdisciplinary approach reflects a long-standing tradition in Victorian scholarship that sought to bridge the gap between the sciences and the humanities. This book is a must-read for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of both literature and ornithology. Geikie's insightful analysis invites readers to reconsider Shakespeare's works through a new lens, uncovering layers of meaning that resonate with the timeless motifs of nature and existence. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding of how the avian world informs and enriches the human experience in literature.

Brain Fables - The Hidden...

Alberto Espay, Benjamin Stecher

An estimated 80 million people live with a neurodegenerative disease, with this number expected to double by 2050. Despite decades of research and billions in funding, there are no medications that can slow, much less stop, the progress of these diseases. The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. 
 
 
 
With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses. There is no Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, simply people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. An incredibly important story never before told, Brain Fables is a wakeup call to the scientific community and society, explaining why we have no effective disease-modifying treatments, and how we can get back on track.
