Sinopsis

In "Featherland: How the Birds lived at Greenlawn," George Manville Fenn employs a captivating blend of vivid realism and imaginative storytelling to explore the lives of birds in a rural English setting. This richly illustrated work, aimed at a younger audience but appealing to adult readers as well, weaves detailed descriptions and engaging narratives that illuminate the behaviors and habitats of various bird species. Amid the burgeoning interest in natural history during the late 19th century, Fenn's text embodies the Victorian fascination with nature, aligning with contemporary movements that sought to bridge science and literature, thus immersing readers in an enchanting avian world. Fenn, a prolific author and a prominent figure in children's literature, was influenced by his own experiences in the English countryside. His background in education and profound appreciation for nature drove him to write this book, wherein he sought to instill a love for wildlife among young readers while promoting ecological awareness. Fenn's personal connection with nature allowed him to observe and celebrate the intricate lives of birds, adding authenticity and charm to the narrative. "Featherland" is highly recommended for readers of all ages who wish to deepen their understanding of avian life and the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Fenn's ability to blend education with delightful storytelling makes this a timeless piece that not only entertains but also enlightens, encouraging readers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world.

    This binaural audio recording features the Northern Cardinal birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Eastern Whippoorwill, Song Sparrow, Gray Catbird and American Robin in background. The Northern Cardinal is an iconic passerine bird species. It has a unique red-colored plumage that is highly ornamental and makes it easily identifiable among other avian species. Its striking appearance, along with its conspicuous vocalizations, often make it the focus of scientific study.

    Data Equals - Democratic...

    An expansive vision for data equality that goes beyond algorithmic fairness. 
     
    When we gave algorithms power over our world, we hoped that the apparent neutrality of machine thinking would create a more egalitarian age. Yet we are more divided than ever, staring down threats to democracy itself. In Data Equals, Colin Koopman argues that data technologies fail us so often because we built them around a deficient notion of equality. 
     
    It is not enough, Koopman explains, that algorithms engage everyone’s data with the same measuring stick. The data themselves are all too often structured in ways that obscure and exacerbate stratifying distinctions. Koopman contends that we must also work to ensure that those people subject to computational assessment enter data systems on equal terms. Part philosophical argument, part practical guide (replete with case studies from education technology), Data Equals offers novel methods for realizing democratic equality in a digital age.

    Unrepeatable Beauty is a ceremonial invitation to recalibrate how we understand health, empowerment, and the female body. 
    It dismantles the emotional architecture behind breast cancer— 
    not through confrontation, but through clarity. 
    This edition names what medicine often misses: 
    • That breasts are not burden baskets 
    • That emotional labor is not invisible 
    • That sovereignty is not a side effect 
    Through poetic diagnostics, mythic insight, and scroll-grade witnessing, Lena Elisabet invites readers to explore: 
    • The biology of belief and the science of emotional containment 
    • The cultural script of survival, gratitude, and reconstruction 
    • The financial architecture of the breast cancer industry 
    • The possibility that joy, boundaries, and inner radiance may prevent disease before it begins 
    This is not a guide to surviving. 
    It’s a guide to not collapsing in the first place. 
    Can female empowerment and sovereignty cure breast cancer before it develops? 
    This book doesn’t answer the question. 
    It dignifies it.

    “Schott’s animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
    		 
    Sharing the stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, Dr. Schott examines the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed to treat all manner of creatures. From healing dogs and horses to gorillas and even dragons, at the heart lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear.
    		 
    James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth century Manhattan
    		Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.
