Sinopsis

"The great power of this principle of selection is not hypothetical. It is certain that several of our eminent breeders have, even within a single lifetime, modified to a large extent some breeds of cattle and sheep. In order fully to realise what they have done, it is almost necessary to read several of the many treatises devoted to this subject, and to inspect the animals. Breeders habitually speak of an animal's organisation as something quite plastic, which they can model almost as they please."

Norwegian Wood - Chopping...

Lars Mytting

“A surprise best-seller which, apparently, has the power to turn even the most feeble of us into axe-wielding lumberjacks.” —Independent 
 
The latest Scandinavian publishing phenomenon is not a Stieg Larsson-like thriller; it’s a book about chopping, stacking, and burning wood that has sold more than 200,000 copies in Norway and Sweden and has been a fixture on the bestseller lists there for more than a year. Norwegian Wood provides useful advice on the rustic hows and whys of taking care of your heating needs, but it’s also a thoughtful attempt to understand man’s age-old predilection for stacking wood and passion for open fires. An intriguing window into the exoticism of Scandinavian culture, the book also features enough inherently interesting facts and anecdotes and inspired prose to make it universally appealing. The U.S. edition is a fully updated version of the Norwegian original, and includes an appendix of U.S.-based resources and contacts. 
 
“A how-to guide as well as a celebration of wood—its scent, its variability, and the way it can connect modern life to simpler times . . . You don’t need to have a wood-burning stove or fireplace to be captivated by the craft and lore surrounding a Stone Age method of creating heat.” —The Boston Globe  
 
“The book has spread like wildfire.” —Daily Mail 
 
“A how-to book with poetry at its heart.” —The Times Literary Supplement

Mannahatta - A Natural History...

Eric W. Sanderson

What did New York look like four centuries ago? An extraordinary reconstruction of a wild island from the forests of Times Square to the wetlands downtown. Named a Best Book of the Year by Library Journal, New York Magazine, and San Francisco Chronicle On September 12, 1609, Henry Hudson first set foot on the land that would become Manhattan. Today, it’s difficult to imagine what he saw, but for more than a decade, landscape ecologist Eric Sanderson has been working to do just that. Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City is the astounding result of those efforts, reconstructing in words and images the wild island that millions now call home. By geographically matching an eighteenth-century map with one of the modern city, examining volumes of historic documents, and collecting and analyzing scientific data, Sanderson re-creates topography, flora, and fauna from a time when actual wolves prowled far beyond Wall Street and the degree of biological diversity rivaled that of our most famous national parks. His lively text guides you through this abundant landscape—while breathtaking illustrations transport you back in time. Mannahatta is a groundbreaking work that provides not only a window into the past, but also inspiration for the future. “[A] wise and beautiful book, sure to enthrall anyone interested in NYC history.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A cartographical detective tale . . . The fact-intense charts, maps and tables offered in abundance here are fascinating.” —The New York Times “[An] exuberantly written and beautifully illustrated exploration of pre-European Gotham.” —San Francisco Chronicle “You don’t have to be a New Yorker to be enthralled.” —Library Journal

QUANTUM PHYSICS The Complete...

ANTONIO JAIMEZ

Do You Feel As If The Mysteries Of The Universe Are Beyond Your Grasp? Have You Tried To Immerse Yourself In The Fascinating World Of Quantum Physics Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Complex Terminology And Abstract Concepts? Perhaps You Feel Like A Tourist In A Strange Land, Overwhelmed By The Wonders Around You But Without A Guide To Help You Understand What You Are Seeing.
Why Do Other Quantum Physics Books Fail To Meet Your Expectations?
Many Books On Quantum Physics Fail In One Critical Respect: They Take For Granted That Readers Already Have Deep Prior Knowledge. These Texts Often Focus On The Technical Details, Obviating The Fact That Most Readers First Need An Intuitive Understanding Of The Fundamental Concepts. As A Result, You Have Probably Encountered Works That Tell You About Wave-Particle Duality, Quantum Superposition, Or The Uncertainty Principle, Without First Having Established A Solid Foundation That Allows You To Assimilate These Concepts Effectively.
But What If The Problem Is Not That Quantum Physics Is Too Complicated, But That It Has Not Been Presented In The Right Way? That's Where This Magical And Fascinating Read Changes The Game.
This Book Has Been Designed With You In Mind. Instead Of Throwing You Into The Deep End Of The Quantum Ocean, It Takes You By The Hand Through A Journey Of Discovery. It Starts With The Basics Of Quantum Physics In Chapter 1, Establishing A Solid Foundation Before Introducing More Complex Ideas Such As Quantum Entanglement In Chapter 4 Or Quantum Superposition In Chapter 6.
It Is Not Only A Journey Of Learning, But Also Of Reflection. The Book Raises Fundamental Questions About How We Understand The World. In Chapter 16, For Example, You Can Explore The Relationship Between Quantum Physics And Consciousness, Which Will Surely Give You A New Perspective On Your Place In The Universe.
