Sinossi

In "More Beetles," Jean-Henri Fabre continues his profound exploration of the natural world, delving into the intricate lives of various beetle species with an observational precision that exemplifies his dedication to entomology. Fabre'Äôs literary style combines a scientific rigor with poetic prose, immersing readers in the fascinating behaviors and habitats of these often-overlooked creatures. This work serves as a sequel to his earlier studies, further situating it within the broader literary context of natural history writing in the late 19th century, where meticulous detail and vivid imagery were crucial in conveying the marvels of nature to a burgeoning audience of naturalists and lay readers alike. Jean-Henri Fabre, a pioneering French entomologist, was driven by a lifelong curiosity about insects and their ecological roles. His commitment to observing and documenting the behaviors of beetles stemmed from both his scientific background and a deep, intrinsic appreciation for the minutiae of life. Known for his innovative methods of entomological research, Fabre's work was informed by an urgency to share the wonder he found in nature, making complex scientific insights accessible to the general public. "More Beetles" is a captivating invitation for both nature enthusiasts and casual readers alike to appreciate the intricate lives of beetles, enriching their understanding of biodiversity. Fabre'Äôs eloquent narrative not only enlightens but also inspires a sense of wonder about the natural world, making this book a must-read for anyone intrigued by the interplay between science and art in literature.

Redefining the Boundaries of...

Paul Cerrato, John D. Halamka

Health care as it stands today needs to be re-imagined. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine by Paul Cerrato and Dr. John Halamka challenges the profession to renegotiate its priorities and address the fact that it’s become timid and reluctant to explore new care delivery models. The guiding premise of this book is that rethinking and reimagining the way medicine is practiced in the 21st century will improve health outcomes, and that technology is central to this transformation. Dr. Halamka is the President and Paul Cerrato is the Senior Research Analyst and Communications Specialist for Mayo Clinic Platform, which is harnessing novel technologies to change how care is provided. This cutting-edge work, along with their combined 80 years of experience in healthcare, afford Dr. Halamka and Mr. Cerrato authoritative voices in technology and health care. This book shows how one-size-fits-all health care is slowly giving way to a more precise, personalized approach that takes into account each person’s unique environmental and genetic risk factors. It discusses the use of several emerging technological tools that give each patient a unique “topographical map” to navigate their journey. Artificial intelligence in health care must be accurate, equitable and ethical; providers need to embrace a better way to predict diseases, identify effective treatments and rethink much of the conventional wisdom that has been handed down over the decades. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine provides the guide to doing just that.

Terrible Beauty - Reckoning with...

Auden Schendler

Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. 
 
 
 
The problem is, none of this—whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics—will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril. 
 
 
 
As Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. But there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?

Hope From the Heart of Horses -...

Kathy Pike, Linda Kohanov

Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. 
 
 
 
Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species. 
 
 
 
Among the moving stories the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference between hope and faith; an abused horse's background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who discovers and reaffirms her self-esteem; and a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears. 
 
 
 
As you see how these people grow deeper into themselves as they learn the horse's way, you, too, will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and everlasting connection and communication between horses and humans.
