Beschreibung

In "A-Birding on a Bronco," Florence Merriam Bailey masterfully intertwines her passion for ornithology with vivid narratives of her adventures in the American West. Through her keen observational skills and engaging prose, Bailey captures the essence of birdwatching in a time when naturalist pursuits were gaining popularity. The book reflects a blend of travelogue and scientific observation, as she meticulously documents her encounters with various bird species and the diverse landscapes that frame their habitats, all while maintaining a light, conversational tone that invites readers into her world of discovery. Florence Merriam Bailey was a pioneering figure in American ornithology and one of the first women to be recognized in this field during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Influenced by her family's affinity for nature and her extensive education in biology and ecology, Bailey's writings reveal her deep respect for wildlife and the environment. Her commitment to avian conservation is evident throughout her work, as she seeks to inspire others to appreciate the natural world. This enchanting book is a must-read for both bird enthusiasts and casual nature lovers alike. Bailey's ability to blend scientific insight with captivating storytelling ensures that readers will not only expand their understanding of bird species but also gain an appreciation for the rich scenery and adventure that accompany a life spent observing nature.

    The Fifth History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Fifth History of Man has a few parting shots at viruses but mostly continues with the world of parasites, from tick disease that tick us off, Old Lyme, Connecticut and Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, Crazy Cat Lady and her clowder of cats, then on into a discussion of the avatar of parasites: malaria. Our travels will venture down into the valley: Valley Girls, Valspeak, Valley Fever, fungus and fungal infections. We’ll jump into the biology of evolution, Darwin, Huxley and the great debates, the geology of earthquakes, volcanos, the Ring of Fire, and Johnny Cash, and then through the homos: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and once the dust cleared how the opposable thumbs, walking erect, and bigger brains left one man standing, one woman, too. No discussion of human history can leave out the G.O.A.T. of French history, heck, of European history; the man, the legend, Napoleon Bonaparte, loved and admired by everyone, even his enemies. Our path will take us into war & military, World War I versus the 1918 Swine Flu, some Russian history and how Stalin got Lenin wrong.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In 2023, the Pacific Crest Trail was swallowed by the deepest snowpack in history. Most hikers waited for a better year. Riley laced his boots, hoisted his pack, and walked north. Snowbound is the story of one hiker’s path through 2,650 miles of relentless winter and the even harder terrain within. Battling exhaustion, river crossings, and weeks of silence, Riley confronted not just the weight of snow—but the weight of his past. Each step north was a letting go: of the version of himself shaped by fear, shame, and stories he no longer wanted to believe. From a near fall on Mt. Baden-Powell to the haunting stillness of Forester Pass, from the agony of loneliness to the quiet beauty of Leavenworth, this is a story of reckoning, resolve, and rising again. It’s not just a trail memoir. It’s a story about coming home to yourself—in the most unforgiving year on record.
