Beschreibung

In "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex," Charles Darwin expands upon his revolutionary theory of evolution, applying it specifically to human beings and sexual selection. This seminal work delves into the implications of evolutionary theory on human ancestry and social behaviors, using a compelling blend of observational data and philosophical inquiry. Darwin's literary style is both rigorous and accessible, marked by a careful examination of natural history and anthropological evidence, firmly situating his discourse within the Victorian intellectual milieu that was grappling with science and morality. Charles Darwin, an eminent naturalist and geologist, is best known for his foundational contributions to the understanding of evolution. His extensive voyages, particularly on the HMS Beagle, and his interactions with various cultures and ecosystems deeply informed his perspectives. The evolution of his thought, particularly regarding human beings as part of the natural order, was a significant driving force behind "The Descent of Man," reflecting his urge to demystify the human experience through the lens of natural selection. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of science, humanity, and philosophy. Darwin's insights not only challenge preconceived notions about human existence but also invite readers to reflect on the complexities of evolution and sexual dynamics. Whether you're a student of biology, philosophy, or history, Darwin's work remains a cornerstone for understanding both our past and our place in the natural world.

    Ancient trees stand as sentinels against all odds while Earth and its people have changed around them. Award-winning author Anthony D. Fredericks examines their awe-inspiring longevity and evolutionary intelligence, drawing on expert interviews, scientific research, and a remarkable reverence for the environment. 
     
    Fredericks focuses on ten of the oldest trees in the United States, ranging from the 1,200-year-old Seven Sisters Oak, a Southern icon draped in Spanish moss that has survived several hurricanes, to the Palmer’s Oak in Southern California that has cloned itself for 13,000 years to stay alive. Other trees include bristlecone pines, regarded as some of the oldest trees in the world, the quaking aspen known as Pando with more than 45,000 identical branches, the Bennett Juniper that grows on land heavily glaciated by the last ice age, and sequoias, the world’s largest trees. Each tree profile opens with time travel stories that provide global historical context and explore the geography at the time when the tree took root.  
     
    In present day, Fredericks walks among many of the trees so that readers may too. His immersive perspective captures the trees’ grandeur and sage presence while exploring the science behind their resilience. 
     
    A tree that’s lived more than 1,000 years is living archaeology—a tangible connection between the planet’s past and present that helps us better understand its future. Fredericks investigates these extended lifespans and their implications on ecology and humanity. In Search of the Old Ones marvels at thecomplexity of roots, the determination of growth, and the wisdom of forests.  
     
    Beneath spreading canopies, readers will experience the strength and magnificence of the country’s most wondrous trees.

    The story of how Yellowstone, established in 1872 as the world’s first national park, has become synonymous with nature conservation—and an examination of today’s challenges to preserve the region’s wilderness heritage. For more than 150 years, the Yellowstone region—now widely known as the twenty-three million acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—has played a prominent role in the United States’ nature conservation agenda. In this book, Robert B. Keiter, an award-winning public land law and policy expert, traces the evolution and application of fundamental ecological conservation concepts tied to Yellowstone.
     
    
    Keiter’s book highlights both the conservation successes and controversies connected with this storied region, which has been enmeshed in change. 
    But in the face of explosive human population growth and related development pressures, new efforts must also account for the region’s privately owned lands along with accelerating recreational activities that present quite different problems.
    
    Exploring both notable conservation accomplishments and the ongoing challenges confronting this special place, Keiter’s book explains the many forces—scientific, political, economic, legal, cultural, climatic, and more—at work driving controversy and change across the region. But more than this, Conserving Nature in Greater Yellowstone shows us that the lessons gleaned from Yellowstone’s expansive nature conservation efforts are profoundly important for both the country and the world.

    Our linear ways of thinking about, organizing and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face: many citizens don't feel they belong; we don't agree on how to best move around; many don't have jobs or homes they can afford; we make running businesses hard work; we are facing challenges with the climate crisis and a pandemic. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. 
    Drawing on her expertise as a city planner and a relationship-broker in the conflicts that surface in city life, Sanders offer strategies to explore how cities, public institutions, community organizations and the business community can work together to improve our cities. She explores the evolutionary nature of our relationship with cities, and how the tension we experience in city life compels each of us to work to improve and regenerate our cities. 
    Nest City articulates the importance of having a sense of direction, being willing as citizens and cities to learn along the way, and accepting the uncertainty and messiness of cities as opportunities to make cities that serve cities well. Nest City will forever alter the way to look at your city, your local public institutions, community organizations or businesses--and how you think about and contribute to your city.
