The Grizzly King - Enriched edition

James Oliver Curwood

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Grizzly King," James Oliver Curwood intricately weaves a compelling narrative that delves into the wilderness and the profound connection between humanity and nature. Through the story of a young man, a grizzly bear named "Mack," and their bond formed amidst the untamed Canadian landscape, Curwood explores themes of survival, friendship, and the primal instinct inherent in both man and beast. The book's vivid descriptions and lyrical prose capture the raw beauty of nature, reflecting the author's deep admiration for the wild, which is a hallmark of early 20th-century American literature that seeks to elevate the natural world to a place of reverence. Curwood, an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, drew heavily from his experiences in the wild and his belief in the intrinsic value of all living beings. His passion for nature stems from his own adventures, which undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of the bear as both a majestic creature and a symbol of the challenges faced in the fight for survival. As a writer during the burgeoning environmental movement, Curwood's works often advocate for the protection of wilderness, imbuing his narratives with a sense of purpose. Readers who seek both adventure and a thoughtful reflection on nature's splendor will find "The Grizzly King" an unforgettable tale. Curwood's integration of personal insight and compelling storytelling makes this book not only an entertaining read but also a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of life. Whether you are an aficionado of nature writing or a lover of classic literature, Curwood's vivid exploration of relationships within the wild resonates deeply, inviting readers to consider their own place within the natural world.

Hannah Dale, the artist and founder of the award-winning nature-centric gift company Wrendale Designs, takes you through a year on her farm in rural Lincolnshire where, alongside her husband, she has undertaken an ambitious rewilding project.

A Wilding Year explores how one family have been able to embrace the beauty to be found in untidy landscapes, heralding the return of skylarks, meadow pipits, hobbies, polecats and many more species to their farm. The land was originally claimed from marshy wetlands, and leaning into the land's natural inclination to be wet has also yielded amazing ponds and pond life.
This rewilding journey has also provided Hannah with new sources of inspiration for her paintings. A Wilding Year is both a journal and a sketchbook, in which Hannah keeps a visual record of the incredible variety of species she finds on the farm.
This fascinating account of a year spent in nature brings to life the beauty and power of wildlife in every season.

Vanishing Life on Earth

Bimalendu B. Nath

The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

Celestial Bodies - Galaxies...

Steff Jaywan

This book consists of 3 titles, which are the following: 
Galaxies - Galaxies are dynamic entities, constantly evolving through processes like mergers, collisions, and interactions with neighboring galaxies. When galaxies merge, their stars, gas, and dust can undergo dramatic transformations, leading to the formation of new stars and restructuring of the galaxy's shape. These interactions can trigger intense bursts of star formation and feed supermassive black holes at the galaxies' centers, leading to the emission of powerful jets of radiation. 
Meteors - Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are remnants of comets or asteroids that orbit the Sun. When these objects cross Earth's path, they enter the atmosphere at high speeds, often exceeding 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour). As they travel through the atmosphere, the air resistance causes them to heat up and vaporize, creating the bright streaks of light we observe. 
Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution.
