Sinossi

In "Bog-land Studies," Jane Barlow meticulously explores the intricate tapestry of Ireland's bogs, employing a blend of poetic prose and scientific observation. The book delves into the ecological significance of these unique landscapes, juxtaposed with rich cultural narratives that have emerged from them. Barlow's literary style is characterized by her vivid imagery and lyrical language, inviting readers to contemplate the beauty of the Irish wilderness while also addressing the environmental challenges confronting these biodiverse environments. Her work is set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Irish literature, echoing the Romantic period's preoccupation with nature and embedding a local ethos into the broader environmental discourse of her time. Jane Barlow, an accomplished Irish author and journalist, was deeply influenced by her upbringing in County Wicklow, where the lush landscapes shaped her literary vision. Her keen interest in nature and ecology, coupled with her commitment to the Irish cultural revival, inspired her to document the lesser-known aspects of indigenous landscapes and their importance to Irish identity. This background is reflected in her nuanced exploration of the interplay between humans and nature in "Bog-land Studies." This book is a must-read for those fascinated by natural history, ecology, and the intersection of culture and environment. Barlow's evocative narratives not only enrich the reader's understanding of bog ecosystems but also ignite a passion for preserving these critical landscapes. Whether you are a scholar, a nature enthusiast, or simply in search of profound literary engagement with the natural world, "Bog-land Studies" promises to be a captivating journey into the heart of Ireland's bogs.

The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

Jeff Sebo

Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
 
 
 
In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
 
 
 
This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.

First the Patient - The Life &...

Barrett Rollins

A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
 
 
 
The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
 
 
 
David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.
