Summary

In "Opticks," first published in 1704, Isaac Newton presents a groundbreaking exploration of light and color through meticulous experimentation and keen observation. This work is written in a rigorous yet accessible style, intertwining philosophical musings with empirical findings. Newton's prose unfolds the phenomena of refraction, reflection, and the composition of light, showcasing his innovative use of the scientific method at a time when natural philosophy was transitioning into modern science. The book not only lays the foundation for the field of optics but also provokes profound questions about perception and the nature of reality, signaling a shift in the way light was understood within the broader context of Enlightenment thought. Isaac Newton, renowned as one of the pivotal figures in the history of science, was driven by his fascination with the laws of nature, which he sought to elucidate through rigorous inquiry. His work in mathematics, physics, and astronomy reflects a deep commitment to understanding the universe. "Opticks" emerged during his later years, demonstrating his unwavering quest to decode the mysteries surrounding visible light, likely influenced by the contemporary scientific dialogue of his time and his own experiences with prismatics. This seminal text is essential for anyone keen to understand the evolution of scientific thought regarding optics and perception. Readers will find themselves immersed in the meticulous observations that shaped modern physics, as well as the philosophical implications therein. "Opticks" remains a vital work, not only for scholars and scientists but for anyone captivated by the interplay between light and the world around us.

    Desert Chrome - Water a Woman...

     “A raw and honest journey of addiction, love, trauma, and redemption—grounded in a deep love of place and all things mustang. The best memoirs reveal the deeply personal in order to see the larger world with renewed clarity and insight—this is one such book. As Wilder moves from heroin to horses, we see a substantive journey of recovery and strength—and ultimately, of resilience.” —LAURA PRITCHETT, author of Stars Go Blue 
“For too long, the lone cowboy myth has corralled the Ameri­can West in the barbed wires of dominion and destruction. Tan­gled in that telling are women and mustangs—their wildness, togetherness, and vulnerability. In Desert Chrome, Wilder bucks against a story as desiccated as the deserts she has dwelled in—kicking hard enough to free what was bound, to redeem what was broken. Listen now, to the thundering of hearts and hooves. They’re coming for us, at last.” —AMY IRVINE, author of Air Mail and Desert Cabal 
“Desert Chrome journeys through parched valleys, on wild rivers, and into deep rock canyons on a unique quest. In this authentic, hard-won account of her life, Wilder finds the warm, true hearts she’s been seeking and that deserve our humanity, healing, and a hell of a lot better future than they’ve been dealt. There’s a quiet heroine at the center of this story, yes, pointing toward a beauti­ful world. It can be ours if we’ll love better, lean closer, and listen to the voices, like Wilder’s own, well worth heeding from birth.” —REBECCA LAWTON, author of The Oasis This Time 
“A powerful coming-of-age story, into the age of a woman’s strongest power, when, with complete awareness of her past, she can, with might and strength, will the future before her. Wilder writes with all the love, wisdom, and courage it takes to make positive changes for the western landscape, horses, and readers.” —CMARIE FUHRMAN, author of Camped Beneath the Dam
