  What the Bears Know - How I...

  In the late 1990s, the town of Mammoth Lakes, California, hired Steve Searles as a hunter to cull half its troublesome bear population. But as he began to prepare for the grim task, the bears soon won him over, and Searles realized there had to be a better way. He soon developed nonlethal tactics to control their behavior and overpopulation that heralded a landmark moment in the care and handling of the American black bear. But change was not without its challenges. To some, his success was dismissed due to his lack of formal academic training. Yet Searles never wavered in his commitment, and eventually became not just local folk hero but a nationally recognized expert. This high school dropout saved not just the bears, but, in many ways, his community. 
   
   
   
  In a tradition that runs from John Muir to Bear Grylls, Searles finds a fellowship with nature and a deeper meaning in the world of bears. Do bears understand things we don't? Are they dialed in to some greater natural force? Unlike us, bears waste little time on unreasonable fears. Bears are fully in the moment. They have an inner peace that seems to offset their power and strength. That may explain why no other animal on the planet is as revered as the bear. As Searles shares his remarkable knowledge and we become immersed in the ursine world, you'll never look at bears or nature the same way again.

  Do you love wandering around you garden looking at your trees, bushes, plants and wonder what use they might have? Of course, the turnips, runner beans et cetera on your vegetable patch you know that they are good for you. But what about marigolds, dandelions, marsh mallow, acorns, pine needles? Yes, they are all edible one way or another. And going for a ramble in the Countryside? There are many wild plants, shrubs and trees that have some part that is edible. But be careful and know exactly what it is you are picking. There are two umbiliferae that you need to be aware of. Cow parsley is edible but the plant is very similar in appearance to Hemlock, which if ingested can kill you. Also, do you know which plants contain ingredients that can be made into health boosters or medicine? A surprising number, but not all of these are edible. Many plants are toxic to humans, although some contain ingredients which can be made into medicines. This book surveys over 600 plant species which were compiled into a comprehensive data-base, from which tables were constructed in the book for easy reference. Common names are given against their Botanical names. Flowers were grouped by their petal numbers. The use of each plant was recorded: is it edible, does it have health benefits, is it toxic? A very useful compendium of plant species for all plant lovers. The book is illustrated with numerous colour images of various flowers and plants.

  Classical Electrodynamics -...

  Electromagnetic theory is one of the fundamental pillars of physics, providing the framework for understanding electric and magnetic fields and their interactions. It is essential not only for classical physics but also for modern advancements in engineering, communications, and quantum mechanics. This chapter introduces the historical development of electrodynamics and the significance of Maxwell’s equations, which form the foundation of classical electromagnetism. 
  The origins of electromagnetic theory can be traced back to early observations of static electricity and magnetism. The ancient Greeks, particularly Thales of Miletus, noted that rubbing amber could attract small objects, laying the groundwork for electrostatics. By the 17th century, William Gilbert’s studies on magnetism and Benjamin Franklin’s experiments on electricity further developed the understanding of electric and magnetic phenomena. The 18th and 19th centuries saw rapid progress, with Charles-Augustin de Coulomb formulating the inverse-square law of electrostatics and André-Marie Ampère discovering the relationship between current and magnetic fields. Michael Faraday’s groundbreaking work on electromagnetic induction demonstrated that a changing magnetic field could induce an electric current, setting the stage for the unification of electricity and magnetism.
