Sinossi

In "The Boy With the U. S. Foresters," Francis Rolt-Wheeler intertwines adventure and education, providing a vivid portrayal of the life of a young boy involved with the U.S. Forest Service. Set against the backdrop of America's natural landscapes, the narrative blends elements of wilderness adventure with an engaging coming-of-age story, capturing both the challenges and triumphs of youth. Rolt-Wheeler'Äôs style is characterized by rich descriptions and a sense of immediacy that immerses readers in the environmental concerns of the early 20th century, reflecting the burgeoning conservation movement and the significance of forestry work during this era. Francis Rolt-Wheeler, an author deeply influenced by his passion for nature and the outdoors, wrote this book during a time when the American public began to recognize the importance of preserving natural resources. His background as a naturalist and his dedicated advocacy for conservation shaped the way he approached storytelling, imbuing his works with not only adventure but a strong moral imperative. His experiences in the wilderness, combined with his educational pursuits, uniquely positioned him to illuminate the vital role of forestry in American society. I highly recommend "The Boy With the U. S. Foresters" to readers of all ages who seek an engaging and informative narrative that emphasizes environmental stewardship. This work serves as an inspiring introduction to the values of conservation, teaching readers the significance of their relationship with nature while also offering a thrilling adventure that sparks the imagination.

    The Apollo 12 moon mission was the second manned mission to the lunar surface, but what made it unique was that all three astronauts on this particular mission were already good friends and navy buddies well before they became astronauts.  This audiobook provides the previously untold story of this mission by those who were actually there in that era, and contains the uncensored, unedited, unfiltered, and previously unreleased interviews with all three of these Apollo 12 astronauts – Commander Charles “Pete” Conrad, Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean, and Command Module Pilot Richard “Dick” Gordon.  In addition, the interviews with many of the NASA officials of that Apollo-era, are also presented here.  All of these historical figures bring to the public their invaluable and collective recollections of this historic mission in their own words of those kinder gentler days at the pinnacle of America's technological superiority.   The introduction and epilogue was provided by Al Reinert, the Apollo historian and Oscar-nominated documentarian “For All Mankind”, as well the co-screenwriter for the Tom Hanks blockbuster “Apollo 13”.

    Where the Seals Sing: Exploring...

    There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups. 
    As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them. 
    PRAISE FOR SUSAN RICHARDSON 
    ‘Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment, [Richardson] sees the life of the sea as a mirror of ourselves, and vice versa: always changing, always the same … Vital, glorious and salutary’ 
    PHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF LEVIATHAN 
    ‘[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must’ 
    JAY GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF WILD 
    ‘Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their – and her own – emotional topography’ 
    SARA WHEELER 
    Susan Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives, travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us. 
     Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation. While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the human–seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and uplifting. 
    In this award-winning exploration of coastal ecosystems and the relationships between humans and wildlife, Richardson delves into the world of zoology and folklore, shedding light on the often misunderstood creatures of the shorelines. Her narrative, steeped in science and social commentary, is a testament to the resilience of nature and the enduring bonds of family. 
    For fans of Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), Thomas Halliday (Otherlands), Natalie Sanders (The Last Sunset in the West), Wyl Menmuir (The Heart of the Woods), and Samantha Harvey (The Shapeless Unease).

    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design and use of computer technology, particularly the interfaces through which humans interact with computers. As technology has evolved, so too has the interaction between users and machines, and understanding this relationship is crucial for creating systems that are not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly. At the heart of HCI is the goal of improving the interaction between users and computers to ensure usability, efficiency, and satisfaction. 
    The concept of HCI emerged as computing technology became more widely accessible and user-centric design became a necessity. Early computers were primarily operated by specialists, and the interface was often limited to text-based inputs and outputs. However, as computers evolved to serve a broader audience, the need for more sophisticated and user-friendly systems became clear. This led to the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which are now commonplace in many computing environments, making interaction with technology more intuitive and visually engaging. 
    HCI as a field draws from various disciplines such as computer science, psychology, design, and ergonomics. The key principles in HCI are centered on understanding how users interact with technology, what their needs and preferences are, and how technology can be designed to meet those needs. At the same time, it focuses on the efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction that the interaction can provide. This involves studying human cognition, behavior, and the way people process information to ensure that systems are designed in ways that align with natural human capabilities.
