Synopsis

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.

    Tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google can collect real-time data from billions of users. For companies that design and manufacture physical products, that type of fluid, data-rich information used to be a pipe dream. Now, with the rise of cheap and powerful sensors, supercomputing, and artificial intelligence, things are changing—fast. 
     
     
     
    In Fusion Strategy, world-renowned innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan and digital strategy expert Venkat Venkataraman offer a first-of-its-kind playbook that will help industrial companies combine what they do best—create physical products—with what digitals do best—use algorithms and AI to parse expansive, interconnected datasets—to make strategic connections that would otherwise be impossible. 
     
     
     
    The laws of competitive advantage are changing, rewarding those who have the most robust, data-driven insights rather than the most valuable assets. To compete in the new digital age, companies need to use real-time data to turbocharge their products, strategies, and customer relationships. Those that don't risk falling on the wrong side of the next great digital divide. 
     
     
     
    Fusion Strategy is the way forward.

    Made to Live depicts a physician’s journey to save lives. Dr. Paul Saba begins his story with the battle to save the life of his baby girl, Jessica, who was born with a severe congenital cardiac malformation. He describes the challenges of facing difficult diagnoses through both his personal experiences and those of his patients. This book debunks the myths of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba’s battle has taken him to the Canadian courts, where he has been silenced from challenging Canada’s euthanasia laws. He has been forbidden from utilizing the Canadian Constitution or presenting his arguments in court to oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba believes no one can know what the future holds. Hope and loving support can overcome many obstacles in life’s journey. In the end, we are all “made to live,” as his daughter Jessica inscribed on one of her paintings at seven years old.

    Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
     
     
      
    Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.
