Remarks on the management or rather the mis-management of woods plantations and hedge-row timber

J. West

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Remarks on the management, or rather, the mis-management of woods, plantations, and hedge-row timber," J. West presents a meticulous critique of contemporary forestry practices in the 18th century. Employing a blend of analytical narrative and didactic prose, West elucidates the environmental repercussions of poor timber management while advocating for sustainable practices. His work reflects a growing awareness of ecological responsibilities, situating it within the broader Enlightenment discourse on nature and agriculture, as he addresses the complex interplay between human intervention and natural ecosystems. The text is replete with observations and recommendations that resonate with the agrarian concerns of its time and still maintain relevance today. J. West was an astute observer of the changing landscapes of rural England, influenced by the societal shifts spurred by industrialization and the burgeoning discourse on environmental stewardship. His background likely entailed hands-on experience in agricultural and forestry practices, equipping him with both the practical knowledge and moral imperative to advocate for reform. West's commitment to preserving England's natural resources reflects a dedication to both heritage and future sustainability, making his voice particularly poignant amidst increasing industrial encroachment. This book is highly commendable for readers interested in environmental history and forestry management. West's incisive analysis not only educates on best practices but also serves as a prescient reminder of the balance necessary between development and conservation. Students, environmentalists, and enthusiasts of historical ecology alike will find invaluable insights within its pages.

Saki's Cats

Saki Saki

Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story.
'Tobermory', one of Saki's most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech – animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers how cats have come to be served by the human race.
In addition to the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma.
The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.

CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Schindler's List is a powerful historical drama directed by Steven Spielberg, set during the Holocaust. It follows Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who initially seeks profit by employing Jewish workers in his enamelware factory. As he witnesses the atrocities committed by the Nazis, Schindler transforms from an opportunist into a humanitarian, striving to save as many lives as possible. The film explores themes of morality, sacrifice, and the impact of one individual’s actions in the face of overwhelming evil. Shot in black and white, it emphasizes the stark, tragic realities of World War II and the Holocaust. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“To gather costumes for 20,000 extras, the costume designer took out advertisements seeking clothing. As economic conditions were poor in Poland, many people were eager to sell clothing they still owned from the 1930s and 1940s.” 
  
“When survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Goeth.” 
  
“The original missing list of Schindler's Jews was found in a suitcase, along with his written legacy, hidden in the attic of Schindler's flat in Hildesheim in 1999. Oskar Schindler had stayed there during the last few months before his death in 1974.”

Animal Crossing

Kelsey Lewin

Before the world of Animal Crossing became a pandemic lifeline for millions, the "social sim" communication game Dо̄butsu no Mori, or "Animal Forest," debuted in 2001 on Nintendo 64 in Japan, then once again in 2002 on GameCube to critical and commercial success all over the world. 
 
 
  
An open-ended casual game ahead of its time, Animal Crossing set the stage for the series's many incarnations to come with its focus on building community and friendship, its in-game currency of Bells, and its village of Animalese-speaking friends like Tom Nook, K. K. Slider, and the mean Mr. Resetti. You could visit the villages of your friends and give them gifts—all without being connected to the internet. 
 
 
  
Video game preservationist and historian Kelsey Lewin tells the story of how a mundane-sounding game full of bug-catching, letter-writing, and furniture-collecting became one of Nintendo's best-loved franchises, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons eclipsing Super Mario Bros. for all-time sales in Japan, unlocking gaming's massive potential to tap into our desire to plant trees, find friends, and make the world a better place.
