Summary

In 'Kazan,' James Oliver Curwood masterfully weaves a narrative that combines adventure, nature, and the profound bond between humans and animals. Set against the captivating backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, the novel follows Kazan, a mixed-breed dog, on his tumultuous journey of survival and identity. Curwood's writing style is rich with vivid descriptions and an emotional depth that brings the natural world to life, engaging readers with both the physical trials faced by Kazan and the internal struggles of his existence. This book not only serves as a gripping tale of loyalty and courage but also explores themes of freedom, isolation, and the inherent struggle for survival inherent in nature, reflecting the author's fascination with wildlife and outdoor settings characteristic of early 20th-century American literature. James Oliver Curwood was an accomplished author and conservationist whose deep love for the wilderness significantly influenced his literary works. Born in 1878 in Michigan, Curwood embarked on numerous adventures in the great outdoors, which undoubtedly informed his understanding of nature's beauty and brutality. His personal experiences with wild animals, coupled with a commitment to environmental preservation, shaped 'Kazan' into a poignant reflection on the relationship between humans and the wilderness, thus cementing Curwood's legacy as a pioneer of nature writing in American literature. For readers seeking an enthralling tale infused with naturalistic themes and emotional resonance, 'Kazan' is highly recommended. This novel will captivate those interested in stories of animal resilience and the ever-complex interplay between instinct and companionship, while also offering profound insights into the human condition mirrored through the animal experience.

    Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard. 
 
 
 
Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat—until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard. 
 
 
 
Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world—and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.

    A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
 
 
 
From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
 
 
 
Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
