Sinopse

In "Shaggycoat: The Biography of a Beaver," Clarence Hawkes presents an engaging narrative that anthropomorphizes the life of a beaver, blending naturalistic observation and vivid storytelling. The book is a remarkable example of early 20th-century American nature writing, characterized by its lyrical prose and deep empathy for animal life. Hawkes skillfully immerses the reader in the beaver's world, exploring themes of habitat, survival, and the intricate relationships within nature. The literary context of this work reflects the burgeoning environmental consciousness of the time, as author and audience alike began to recognize the importance of wildlife and conservation. Clarence Hawkes, known as the "Blind Poet of the Poconos," drew on his profound love for nature and personal experiences for this work. Despite losing his sight at a young age, Hawkes developed an acute sense of observation and an unparalleled ability to articulate the natural world. His unique insights, informed by a blend of poetry and prose, reflect his belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings, ultimately leading him to write this compelling biography of an often-overlooked creature. "Shaggycoat" is highly recommended for readers interested in animal biographies, environmental literature, and those who appreciate the poetic art of storytelling. Hawkes's work not only entertains but also invites reflection on the coexistence of humans and nature, making it an essential read for anyone curious about the intricacies of wildlife and ecological sensitivity.

    The Soul of a Lion - Reflections...

    The Soul of a Lion, an engaging memoir by Willie Labuschagne, is an exhilarating journey which begins with the young conservationist's unique experiences with wild animals. From his groundbreaking research on the desert cheetah's behaviour and ecology to becoming an internationally respected consultant on environmental and wildlife-related issues, he holds the reader's attention with all the skill of the master storyteller.
    The numerous occasions when Willie faced potentially life-threatening situations with wild animals are vividly recounted, many of them wryly humorous while others evoke deep emotion.
    But not all animal encounters took place in the wild. A significant and poignant encounter that further inspired Willie's approach to conservation occurred when, during his time as director of the Johannesburg Zoo, he and his family hand-raised a newborn lion cub that had been rejected by its mother.
    He recalls the countless obstacles put in his way by the bureaucratic nature of his own species during his tenure at the zoo. But despite numerous challenges he persisted in his goal of transforming and improving zoological institutions. A driving force behind the changing nature of professionally managed zoological gardens, Willie's book reminds us that, while many of the world's zoos should be unconditionally closed, progressive modern zoos are becoming increasingly aligned to wildlife conservation: they are vital for ensuring the survival of threatened species.
    Willie shares his entertaining and often moving life experiences with warmth and understanding, whether it is sleeping under the stars with the bushmen of the Kgalagadi desert or observing the traditions of the Zulu Royal House. His travels in the African landscape in particular are an exciting panorama of many distinctive habitats, from the relentless desert of the Skeleton Coast in Namibia to the pristine beauty of the Tsitsikamma Forest and the breathtaking vastness of the African bushveld.
    Importantly, he is forthright in his view of the critical position of the world we live in and the future it holds for mankind and believes that we are all part of a custodianship which should do everything in its power to protect our fragile environment.
    Willie Labuschagne, a man with the soul of a lion, is a dedicated and internationally celebrated wildlife conservationist who holds a master's degree in wildlife management. For more than five decades he has been actively involved in the conservation of threatened species for which he has received national and international recognition, culminating in numerous awards.

    A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
     
     
     
    Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
     
     
     
    From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.
