Beschreibung

In "The Young Woodsman; Or, Life in the Forests of Canada," J. Macdonald Oxley crafts a vivid tapestry of life amid the natural splendor of Canada's woodlands. Employing a rich and engaging narrative style, Oxley weaves together personal adventure and ecological observation, illuminating the profound connection between humanity and nature. The text serves as both a coming-of-age tale and a reflective meditation on the challenges and triumphs of frontier life, echoing the traditions of outdoor literature while pioneering insights into the environmental ethos of the early 20th century. Oxley's detailed descriptions of the Canadian landscape and its flora and fauna not only captivate the reader but also evoke a deep sense of place and purpose. J. Macdonald Oxley, an author deeply influenced by his own experiences in the Canadian wilderness, draws upon his extensive knowledge of forestry and natural history, providing authenticity and depth to his storytelling. His writings reflect the broader cultural movement of nature writing prevalent during his time, as society began to grapple with the dichotomy of progress and environmental preservation. Oxley'Äôs own life experiences as a woodsman contribute to the narrative'Äôs authenticity and layered meaning. For readers drawn to themes of adventure, self-discovery, and nature, "The Young Woodsman" is an essential addition to the canon of outdoor literature. Oxley'Äôs engaging prose invites both the young and the young at heart to reflect upon their relationship with nature and to find inspiration in the resilience of the human spirit. This book not only serves as a memoir but also as a call to reconnect with the wilderness that surrounds us.

    The long history of one of physics' most enticing ideas: that the universe we know isn't the only one 
     
     
     
    Our books, our movies—our imaginations—are obsessed with extra dimensions, alternate timelines, and the sense that all we see might not be all there is. In short, we can't stop thinking about the multiverse. As it turns out, physicists are similarly captivated.   
     
     
      
    In The Allure of the Multiverse, physicist Paul Halpern tells the epic story of how science became besotted with the multiverse, and the controversies that ensued. The questions that brought scientists to this point are big and deep: Is reality such that anything can happen, must happen? How does quantum mechanics "choose" the outcomes of its apparently random processes? And why is the universe habitable? Each question quickly leads to the multiverse. Drawing on centuries of disputation and deep vision, from luminaries like Nietzsche, Einstein, and the creators of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Halpern reveals the multiplicity of multiverses that scientists have imagined to make sense of our reality. Whether we live in one of many different possible universes, or simply the only one there is, might never be certain. But Halpern shows one thing for sure: how stimulating it can be to try to find out.

    Sisters of the Jungle explores the history of primatology, a rare scientific discipline led primarily by women, from pioneers like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to author Keriann McGoogan's own adventurous field studies. 
     
    Since the 1970s, the science of primatology has been dominated by women—a unique reversal, as men usually outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. 
     
    Today, one of those women is primatologist Keriann McGoogan, who has traveled to the far corners of the earth in search of wild primates. In Sisters of the Jungle, McGoogan combines stories about her own studies of howler monkeys (the loudest living primate) and lemurs (the most endangered group of animals on the planet) with those of the women who paved the way: intrepid scientists like Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté Galdikas, and Alison Jolly who broke boundaries, made astonishing discoveries and ultimately shaped the trajectory of an entire branch of science.

    How underwater mediation has transformed deep-sea spaces into resource-rich frontiers 
     
     
     
    Green energy technologies such as windmills, solar panels, and electric vehicles may soon depend on material found at the seabed. How did a space once imagined to be empty and unfathomable come to be thought of as a treasure trove of resources? Lisa Yin Han traces how contemporary developments in underwater sensing and imaging materially and imaginatively transmogrify the ocean bottom into a resource frontier capable of sustaining a digitally connected global future. 
     
     
     
    Set against the backdrop of climate change, energy transition, and the expansion of industrial offshore extractions, Deepwater Alchemy looks at oceanic media and its representation of the seabed in terms of valuable resources. From high-tech simulations to laboratories and archives that collect and analyze sediments, Han explores the media technologies that survey, visualize, and condition the possibility for industrial resource extraction, introducing the concept of extractive mediation to describe the conflations between resource prospecting and undersea knowledge production. Moving away from anthropocentric frameworks, she argues that we must equalize access to deep ocean mediation and include the submerged perspectives of multispecies communities.
