Sinopsis

In "Fossil Forests of the Yellowstone National Park," Frank Hall Knowlton presents an extensive exploration of the paleobotanical treasures found within one of America'Äôs most iconic national parks. Employing a descriptive yet scientific literary style, Knowlton meticulously details the fossilized remains of ancient trees, revealing insights into the prehistoric ecosystems that once thrived in the region. Written during the late 19th century, this work is situated within the burgeoning field of paleontology and reflects the era's growing fascination with the natural sciences, illustrating both the mysteries of the fossilized past and the significance of these discoveries in understanding Earth'Äôs geological history. Knowlton, a prominent American paleontologist and botanist of his time, was deeply influenced by the scientific advancements in geology and botany. His tenure as a curator at the U.S. National Museum and his passion for studying ancient flora fueled his dedication to documenting these fossil forests as a means to educate the public and further scientific inquiry. His meticulous research not only highlighted the beauty of Yellowstone'Äôs geological formations but also underscored its importance as a site of scientific significance. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in paleontology, botany, or the natural history of the United States. Knowlton'Äôs rich descriptions and scholarly insights provide a profound appreciation for the wonder of Yellowstone's fossil forests, making it a pivotal resource for scientists and nature enthusiasts alike.

    Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
     
     
     
    However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
     
     
     
    In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.

    Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It can be caused by various infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The most common form is viral meningitis, but bacterial meningitis is more severe and can be life-threatening. Understanding meningitis involves recognizing the different types, causes, and how it affects the body. 
    There are several types of meningitis, with bacterial and viral being the most widely recognized. Bacterial meningitis is often more severe, requiring immediate medical attention, as it can result in brain damage, hearing loss, or even death if left untreated. Viral meningitis, though typically less severe, can still cause significant discomfort and requires treatment to manage symptoms. Fungal and parasitic meningitis are less common but are particularly concerning for individuals with weakened immune systems. Each type has its own set of causes, transmission methods, and severity. 
    The causes of meningitis are diverse, with bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae being some of the most common culprits in bacterial cases. Viral meningitis is usually caused by enteroviruses, though the herpes simplex virus and HIV can also lead to viral meningitis. Fungal infections, like those caused by Cryptococcus, typically affect individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV/AIDS. Meningitis can also result from parasitic infections, although this is extremely rare.

    There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. 
     
     
     
    Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. 
     
     
     
    Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.
