Guide to the study of animal ecology

Charles C. Adams

Summary

Ecology has no aim, but ecologists have. The problems of the ecologist are not fundamentally different from those of any other kind of naturalist. The superficial differences in aim are due to the different points of view, or methods of approach, rather than to any essential difference in the character of the problems.
The essentially biological core of ecology may be best shown by considering the relation which this science bears to other branches of biology, a relation which has been admirably expressed by the eminent physiologist, Burdon-Sanderson (’94, pp. 438-439), as follows:
“Now the first thing that strikes us in beginning to think about the activities of an organism is that they are naturally distinguishable into two kinds, according as we consider the action of the whole organism in its relation to the external world or to other organisms, or the action of the parts or organs in their relation to each other.

In Deep Waters - Spiritual Care...

Talitha Amadea Aho

The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. 
 
 
 
But, observes Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability. They see the world through crisis-colored glasses. Climate change is creating a spiritual emergency that is hitting their generation harder than any other. 
 
 
 
Today's climate crisis calls people of faith to a communal spiritual practice of care, especially for those who are more vulnerable because of their youth—the children, youth, and young adults of Generation Z. We must learn how to offer spiritual care that is informed by the spiritual-ecological crisis of their generation. 
 
 
 
This book will help you keep young people at the center of your community and listen to the troubles they have to share. Whether you are a Gen Z peer or a caring adult of any other generation, In Deep Water will show you how to offer ecologically informed spiritual care. 
 
 
 
We all need to do it today; we cannot wait until one of today's youngest generations grows up.

Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

Jason Hannan

Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
 
 
 
Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
 
 
 
Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

Power Cell Secrets - The...

John Harpoon

The journey toward modern power cell technology began with a simple, yet profound, question: How could we store energy efficiently for future use? Early efforts to store and harness energy date back to the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 20th century that the foundations for power cells—an essential part of our energy storage systems—were truly laid. 
In the 1950s, the advent of the first rechargeable batteries marked a critical turning point. While earlier technologies had focused on single-use solutions, the development of rechargeable batteries, such as the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, offered a glimpse into the potential for sustainable energy storage. Scientists, engineers, and inventors sought to solve the problem of storing energy in a way that was both compact and reliable, an issue that had long hampered the efficiency of early electrical systems. 
The early breakthroughs were just the beginning. As the world began to recognize the importance of renewable energy sources—wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—the need for effective energy storage became even more pressing. Renewable energy production, often intermittent, required reliable methods to store excess energy for times when generation was low. This gave rise to research into more efficient and sustainable battery technologies, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in energy storage.
