Summer

Dallas Lore Sharp

Summary

"Summer" by Dallas Lore Sharp is the fourth last volume of the natural history - outdoor book series by the author. Excerpt: "I believe that a child's interest in outdoor life is a kind of hunger, as natural as his interest in bread and butter. He cannot live on bread and butter alone, but he ought not to try to live without them. He cannot be educated on nature-study alone, but he ought not to be educated without it. To learn to obey and reason and feel—these are the triple ends of education, and the greatest of these is to learn to feel. The teacher's word for obedience; the arithmetic for reasoning; and for feeling, for the cultivation of the imagination, for the power to respond quickly and deeply, give the child the out-of-doors."

Clash at Sunday Creek: Rum...

Jobie Joseph Siemer

The Tombstone of Early Ohio   Southeast Ohio's Little Cities of Black Diamonds was a rugged region in the 1800s. Nowhere was this truer than in Corning and Rendville, mining towns reminiscent of the Wild West era. Gun duels, scandals, lynchings, and murders plagued these places, as intrepid European immigrants and tenacious Black miners relied on raw grit to survive rowdy saloons and perilous coal mines. These impoverished workers also took bold stands against affluent mine operators, leading to intense clashes with the Ohio National Guard./ Author and former Green Beret Jobie Siemer reveals stories of formidable union conflicts and the unyielding resilience of miners whose faith was a beacon in a chaotic struggle to restore order to Sunday Creek./

High Energy Physics - Exploring...

Mark Hedges

High Energy Physics (HEP), also known as particle physics, is the branch of physics that explores the fundamental building blocks of nature and the forces that govern their interactions. It seeks to answer fundamental questions about the universe, such as the nature of matter, the origins of mass, and the unification of forces. By studying subatomic particles at extremely high energies, physicists gain insights into the fundamental laws of nature, often pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
The origins of high energy physics trace back to the early 20th century with the development of quantum mechanics and special relativity. The discovery of the electron, proton, and neutron laid the foundation for the understanding of atomic structure. However, as experimental techniques improved, scientists found that protons and neutrons were not fundamental particles but were composed of even smaller constituents called quarks. This led to the formulation of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which describes the known fundamental particles and the forces that act between them.
High energy physics relies on particle accelerators, which propel charged particles to nearly the speed of light before colliding them. These high-energy collisions create conditions similar to those present in the early universe, allowing scientists to observe rare and exotic particles. The most famous accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, has been instrumental in discoveries such as the Higgs boson, a particle responsible for giving mass to elementary particles.

Rumbles - A Curious History of...

Elsa Richardson

The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
 
 
 
The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
 
 
 
Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
 
 
 
Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?
