Sinossi

In "The Cruise of the 'Cachalot' Round the World After Sperm Whales," Frank Thomas Bullen embarks on a captivating maritime adventure that intricately weaves elements of personal narrative with detailed observations of the whaling industry in the late 19th century. Through a blend of vivid prose and meticulous descriptions, Bullen immerses readers in the harrowing realities of whale hunting, navigating treacherous seas, and the camaraderie among sailors. His literary style is grounded in realism, providing an authentic glimpse into the whaling trade, while also reflecting the Romanticism of the sea that pervaded the literature of his time. Frank Thomas Bullen, a seasoned sailor and author, draws from his extensive maritime experiences to craft this compelling narrative. His firsthand knowledge of the whaling industry, coupled with his background in the British Royal Navy, lends an unparalleled authenticity to his observations. Bullen's commitment to shedding light on the often brutal world of whaling reflects both his respect for the ocean and an emerging conservationist ethos that would resonate in future maritime literature. This essential read is not just a recounting of a journey; it is a poignant exploration of humanity's relationship with nature. Recommended for readers interested in maritime history, ecology, or the intrigue of adventurous storytelling, Bullen's account serves as a profound reflection on both the beauty and the peril of the natural world.

    Balance - How It Works and What...

    Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other? 
     
    Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole. 
     
    Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.
