The Social Genome - The New...

Dalton Conley

A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
 
 
 
Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
 
 
 
The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

The Wolf

Mike Blake

The Wolf poem :: was inspired by William Blake's - 'The Tyger'. 
It has the same regular form & meter as The Tyger. 
With tempo and stanza (of the quatrain type), and is about one single animal in the natural world. 
Where it differs from William Blake's poem is that the Poem Tyger has more religious connotations, not surprising for the times in which it was written. 
Whereas 'The Wolf' written by myself, has more of Natures influences. 
It's also about the possible demise totally of the Wolf through man, and a warning of this. 
As we take care of The Wolf and other similiar 'top predator' animals, 
so we automatically take care of the natural habitat that they live in - something that is increasing in peoples consciousness today.

The Arabian Art of Taming and...

P. R. Kincaid

Back in the day before automobiles, a good horse trainer and veterinarian was the equivalent of “Mr Goodwrench”. A badly behaving or unhealthy equine was equivalent to breaking down on the highway or running out of gas on a lonely stretch of highway somewhere in Utah. My sources tell me that most of the training methods are ok, but stay away from the medical tips unless you are prepared to become the poster boy or girl for the local SPCA. Listen with tongue in cheek, and check with a professional before attempting any of these techniques on a real animal.Mike Vendetti, narrator

Walden

Henry David Thoreau

Walden by Henry David Thoreau is a timeless classic of American literature that reflects on the meaning of simple living, self-reliance, and humanity's relationship with nature. First published in 1854, this influential work is both a personal narrative and a philosophical meditation inspired by Thoreau's two-year experiment living in a small cabin near Walden Pond in Massachusetts.

Seeking to escape the distractions and pressures of society, Thoreau set out to live deliberately and discover what life could teach when stripped down to its essentials. In the quiet solitude of the woods, he built his own cabin, grew his own food, and observed the rhythms of nature. Through these experiences, he explored the idea that true fulfillment does not come from wealth or social status but from simplicity, independence, and mindful living.

Throughout Walden, Thoreau shares vivid descriptions of the natural world—the changing seasons, the stillness of the pond, the songs of birds, and the quiet beauty of the forest. These observations are woven together with thoughtful reflections on society, work, consumption, and the pursuit of happiness. With sharp insight and gentle humor, he challenges readers to question the habits and expectations that often lead people away from meaningful lives.

More than a memoir of life in the wilderness, Walden is a philosophical exploration of how individuals can reconnect with both nature and themselves. Thoreau encourages readers to slow down, observe the world more carefully, and live with greater intention and awareness. His reflections emphasize the importance of independence, personal responsibility, and the courage to live according to one's own values.

The book also serves as an early and powerful voice for environmental awareness. Thoreau's deep appreciation for the natural world has inspired generations of readers, writers, and environmental thinkers who see in Walden a call to respect and protect the beauty and balance of nature.

Rich with insight, poetic language, and timeless wisdom, Walden continues to resonate with readers who seek a more thoughtful and purposeful way of life. It is both a celebration of nature and a guide to living simply, reminding us that clarity, peace, and fulfillment can often be found by returning to life's most basic truths.
