The woods

Douglas Malloch

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In Douglas Malloch's evocative collection "The Woods," readers are invited into a serene yet profound exploration of nature and its intricate relationship with human existence. Through Malloch's trademark lyrical style, characterized by a rich tapestry of imagery and rhythmic cadences, the book melds personal reflection with the broader existential themes of solitude and communion with the natural world. His keen observations anchor the prose in the context of early 20th-century American literature, where nature writing emerged as a reflection of burgeoning environmental consciousness and an antidote to industrialization's encroachments. Douglas Malloch, often celebrated as one of the notable voices in American poetry, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a lumberman and avid outdoorsman, which profoundly shaped his appreciation of the woods. His deep-rooted connections to nature not only fostered a profound understanding of its rhythms but also instilled in him a responsibility to advocate for its preservation. With a background that intertwines literature and forestry, Malloch's works reflect his dual commitment to the craft of writing and the stewardship of the natural environment. "The Woods" stands as a timeless recommendation for anyone seeking solace and reflection in the embrace of nature's simplicity. Readers will find themselves captivated by Malloch's ability to articulate the complex interplay between humanity and the wild, leading them to contemplate their own relationships with the environment. This collection remains a pertinent reminder of the beauty and fragility of the natural world, inspiring both reverence and introspection.

Medieval Medicine - Practices...

Harris Ropes

Medieval medicine was deeply rooted in the knowledge and traditions inherited from antiquity. The healing practices of this era were shaped by ancient medical texts, religious doctrine, and the widespread belief in the humoral theory. These influences created a medical system that blended scientific understanding with spiritual and superstitious elements, guiding both diagnosis and treatment.
Ancient medical texts played a crucial role in shaping medieval medical thought. The works of Greek and Roman physicians, particularly Hippocrates and Galen, were preserved and studied throughout the Middle Ages. Their teachings on anatomy, physiology, and disease informed medical practice for centuries. Galen’s theories, in particular, dominated medieval medicine, as they were seen as authoritative explanations of bodily functions and imbalances. Additionally, medical knowledge from the Islamic world, especially from scholars such as Avicenna and Al-Razi, was translated into Latin and integrated into European medical education. These texts provided new insights and expanded the understanding of disease and treatment methods.
Religion was a dominant force in medieval medical practices. The Christian Church played a central role in both medical care and the dissemination of medical knowledge. Many hospitals were founded and operated by religious institutions, and healing was often associated with divine intervention. Monks and priests studied medical texts, offering treatments based on both practical remedies and spiritual practices. Prayers, relics, and pilgrimages to sacred sites were commonly sought as cures for illnesses. Saints were believed to have healing powers, and their relics were used in healing rituals. Despite the reliance on faith-based healing, religious institutions also preserved and transmitted valuable medical knowledge, ensuring that ancient texts survived and continued to influence medieval medical practices.

The Hobo - A History of...

Robert Suits

The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a book written by Nels Anderson, which provides a comprehensive sociological study of the homeless population in America during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of ""hobos"" - a term used to describe homeless men who traveled from place to place in search of work - and sheds light on the social and economic factors that led to their homelessness.Anderson's research is based on his own experiences living among the homeless population, as well as interviews with hundreds of hobos across the country. He examines the unique culture and social structures that developed within the hobo community, including their codes of conduct, language, and customs.The book also delves into the larger societal issues that contributed to the rise of homelessness during this time period, such as the Great Depression, industrialization, and the decline of traditional forms of work. Anderson argues that the hobo lifestyle was a response to these larger societal changes, and that understanding the hobo subculture is crucial to understanding the broader social and economic forces at play.Overall, The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a groundbreaking work that provides a nuanced and empathetic look at the lives of homeless men during a tumultuous period in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of homelessness, as well as anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Welcome to the Metaverse -...

David L. Shrier

The metaverse. That term elicits a wide range of ideas and opinions. For many, it represents the next evolutionary phase of the internet—a fully immersive, digital universe where people can interact, work, and play in virtual environments. For others, it's yet another overhyped technology. So what is it, exactly? And what will its impact be? 
 
 
 
While speculation and predictions about the metaverse are varied, one thing is clear: it is impacting the world of business as well as people's lives, and it will continue to do so in the future. The global metaverse market is predicted to be worth about $1 trillion by 2030, with over two billion users participating in some form of immersive experience. 
 
 
 
There's a reason why companies are investing heavily in spatial computing and why platforms like Roblox are thriving. The metaverse, along with the technologies that underpin it, is still evolving, but it will eventually offer more ways for people to experience the world and each other. 
 
 
 
In Welcome to the Metaverse, David Shrier, a world-leading futurist and the author of Welcome to AI, offers an entertaining look at the potential uses and impacts of this virtual space on business and life.
