Sinossi

Charles Waterton (1782-1865) was an English naturalist, plantation overseer and explorer best known for his pioneering work regarding conservation. Waterton was a British Catholic, educated at Stonyhurst College. He traveled to British Guiana in 1804 to take charge of his uncle’s slave plantations near Georgetown. Between 1812 and 1824 he made four expeditions into the wilderness, reaching Brazil walking barefooted during the rainy season. His discoveries are described in his book, “Wanderings in South America.” He was a skilled taxidermist and preserved many of the animals he encountered on his expeditions, and the Waterton Collection is still displayed in a museum.

    Neonatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are ill or premature. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the survival and well-being of newborns, especially in the first few days and weeks of life, which are critical for the infant’s long-term health. The field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common newborn illnesses to complex and rare congenital disorders, and involves the expertise of neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other medical professionals working collaboratively in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). 
    At birth, the infant undergoes a series of physiological changes, transitioning from the maternal environment to the external world. This period of adaptation is a defining feature of neonatology, where the neonatologist’s role is to manage any challenges that arise during this transition. This includes monitoring the newborn’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature regulation, as well as ensuring the baby is receiving adequate nutrition and support. 
    Neonatology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, with improvements in neonatal care reducing mortality rates for preterm infants and those with congenital conditions. Innovations such as advanced respiratory support systems, better understanding of neonatal pharmacology, and the development of sophisticated monitoring techniques have drastically improved the chances of survival for critically ill newborns. These advancements have also contributed to a deeper understanding of the long-term effects of prematurity, low birth weight, and other neonatal complications on development.

    Based on the authors' experience and research with fifteen hundred organizations, the book reveals how companies are using the new rules of AI to leap ahead on innovation and profitability and what you can do to achieve similar results. It describes six entirely new types of hybrid human + machine roles that every company must develop, and it includes a "leader's guide" with the five crucial principles required to become an AI-fueled business.

    America was built on white pine. From the 1600s through the Civil War and beyond, it was used to build the nation's ships and houses, barns, and bridges. Yet this popularity came at a cost: by the end of the nineteenth century, clear cutting had decimated much of America's white pine forests. In White Pine, ecologist and writer John Pastor takes listeners on walk through history, connecting the white pine forests that remain today to a legacy of destruction and renewal. 
     
     
     
    Since the clear-cutting era, naturalists, foresters, and scientists have taken up the quest to restore the great white pine forests. White Pine follows this centuries-long endeavor, illuminating how the efforts shaped Americans' understanding of key scientific ideas, from forest succession to the importance of fire. Pastor shows us why restoring the vitality of these forests has not been simple: a host of other creatures depend on white pine and white pine depends on them. In weaving together cultural and natural history, White Pine celebrates the way humans are connected to the forest—and to the larger natural world. 
     
     
     
    Today, white pine forests have begun to recover, but face the growing threat of climate change. White Pine shows us that hope for healthy forests lies in understanding the lessons of history, so that iconic species survives.
