Edmund Selous

Sinopse

In "The Romance of Insect Life," Edmund Selous immerses readers in the intricate and often surprising world of insects, revealing their behaviors, beauty, and ecological significance through a rich, lyrical narrative. Written in the early 20th century, the book combines scientific observation with poetic prose, echoing the Victorian fascination with nature and the emerging field of entomology. Selous employs vivid descriptions and imaginative analogies, inviting readers to appreciate the aesthetic and functional complexities of insect life, going beyond mere taxonomy to celebrate the harmonious interdependence within ecosystems. Edmund Selous was not only an accomplished author but also an avid naturalist and field researcher. His deep curiosity about the natural world and background in art and literature uniquely positioned him to weave together observations and reflections that highlight the critical role insects play in the environment. Selous's passion was driven by a desire to bring the often-overlooked beauty of nature into the public consciousness, influenced by contemporaneous environmental movements and a growing interest in conservation. For readers interested in nature writing, entomology, or the interplay between humanity and the natural world, "The Romance of Insect Life" is an essential read. Selous's ability to evoke wonder and curiosity not only educates but also inspires a profound appreciation for the tiny creatures that inhabit our planet, making it a timeless classic that resonates with both scientific and literary audiences.

Controlled Chaos - Surgical...

David Galloway, Jenni Galloway

Chitokoloki Mission Hospital is a remote but remarkable facility in the North-Western Province of Zambia. This book comes from a compilation of daily reports about life in a remote African mission hospital. It is written from a personal and clinical angle and with a surgical emphasis because that formed the bulk of the activity that has been recorded. The detailed experiences of many patients has been captured and the authors convey the almost unbelievable reality that their experience reflects. Initially the reports formed a flowing clinical news blog and they have been assembled in book form to include the Christian context as well as insights into the reality of daily life in the local villages. Again and again these stories have been the focus of discussion and enquiry and it has been good to share the experiences to the point that others who become aware are ready to pray, support, give and even visit in order to contribute in some way to the work of the mission.
