  Dispersals - On Plants Borders...

  A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
   
   
   
  A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
   
   
   
  In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

  Loose of Earth - A Memoir

  Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn

  Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn was the oldest of five children, a twelve-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, whose evangelical family eschewed public education for homeschooling, and wove improbable scientific theories into literal interpretations of the Bible. Then her father, a former air force pilot, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of thirty-eight, and, "it was like throwing gasoline on the Holy Spirit." Stirred by her mother, the family committed to an extreme diet and sought deliverance from equally extreme sources: a traveling tent preacher, a Malaysian holy man, a local faith-healer who led services called "Miracles on 34th Street." 
   
   
   
  What they didn't know was that their lives were entangled with a larger, less visible environmental catastrophe. Firefighting foams containing carcinogenic compounds had contaminated the drinking water of every military site where her father worked. Commonly referred to as "forever chemicals," the presence of PFAS in West Texas besieged a landscape already burdened with vanishing water, taking up residence in wells and in the bloodstreams of people who lived there. An arresting portrait of the pernicious creep of decline, and a powerful cry for environmental justice, Loose of Earth captures the desperate futility and unbending religious faith that devastated a family, leaving them waiting for a miracle that would never come.

  A Brief History of Time is a popular science book by Stephen Hawking that aims to explain the fundamental principles of the universe in a way that’s accessible to a general audience. It covers major topics like the Big Bang, black holes, relativity, quantum mechanics, and even the possibility of time travel. Hawking uses a friendly, often humorous tone to make complex ideas easier to grasp. 
  Main themes include:From Philosophy to ScienceHawking argues that science has taken over from philosophy as the main way we understand the universe. Through experimentation and observation, science provides more precise answers to questions that were once seen as purely philosophical or religious.The Search for a Final AnswerThe ultimate goal of science, Hawking says, is to find a unified theory that explains everything—from subatomic particles to galaxies. He sees this quest as central to human curiosity, even if it might be impossible to fully complete.The Need for Humility in ScienceThroughout the book, Hawking highlights the importance of being willing to admit mistakes and consider new ideas. Many scientists, including Einstein and Hawking himself, have revised their views as new evidence came to light. 
  The book also encourages deeper engagement through essays and reflections. In short, A Brief History of Time is a key read for anyone interested in understanding the mysteries of the cosmos and how science helps us look for answers.
