A world of green hills : Observations of nature and human nature in the Blue Ridge - Reflections on the Spiritual Connection Between Nature and Humanity in the Blue Ridge

Bradford Torrey

Sinopse

In "A World of Green Hills: Observations of Nature and Human Nature in the Blue Ridge," Bradford Torrey presents a profound exploration of the relationship between landscape and the complexities of human experience. Written in an engaging, descriptive literary style, Torrey'Äôs observations weave together the rich biodiversity of the Blue Ridge Mountains with astute reflections on human behavior, all set against the backdrop of nature's majesty. His narrative is both lyrical and contemplative, inviting readers to appreciate the interconnectedness of the natural world and our own lives, while echoing the spirit of 19th-century American transcendentalism. Bradford Torrey, an esteemed naturalist and writer, was deeply influenced by the philosophical currents of his time, particularly those advocating for the appreciation of nature as a means for understanding humanity. His extensive travel and observations across various regions imbued him with a keen sense of empathy for both nature and mankind. This book stands as a testament to his belief in the transformative power of nature on personal perspective and societal understanding. I highly recommend "A World of Green Hills" to readers who appreciate both nature writing and philosophical inquiries into self and society. Torrey's insights not only illuminate the beauty of the Blue Ridge but also challenge us to reflect on our own place within the tapestry of life.

The UFO Experience - Evidence...

J. Allen Hynek, Paul Hynek

The case against UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has not been put to rest. Although UFOs "officially" did not exist for decades according to the government, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the latest releases from the government and related hearings have surprised the world. While the scientific community has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is rare and unscientific. 
 
 
  
Dr. Hynek, a scientist himself, and the only government-paid ufologist in history, looks at the decisions made by officialdom in the early days of ufology and how these decisions have held us back—to the point that we are still naively talking about UFOs as we were in the 1950s. Has seventy years of research made no difference at all in our understanding? 
 
 
  
Dr. Hynek proves that there is a conspiracy afoot to hide the facts and that there are many cases that still need to be explained by mainstream science—not dismissed with facile jokes and stupid logic. Citing specific cases, Hynek challenges those in the ivory tower by raising questions that have still not been answered and refuting mainstream arguments that have yet to be proven.
