More Hunting Wasps - Enriched edition

Jean-Henri Fabre

Tradutor Alexander Teixeira de Mattos

Sinopse

In "More Hunting Wasps," Jean-Henri Fabre delves into the intricate world of solitary wasps, employing an observational and descriptive literary style that marries scientific inquiry with lyrical prose. This sequel to his earlier works continues to explore the behaviors, habitats, and ecological significance of these fascinating creatures, reflecting the late 19th-century shift towards a scientific understanding of nature that emphasized direct observation. Fabre's ability to convey the complexity of the wasp life cycle and their hunting strategies invites readers into a realm that is both informative and enchantingly detailed, laying a foundational stone for entomological studies while also appealing to the layperson's curiosity about the natural world. Jean-Henri Fabre, often referred to as the father of modern entomology, was profoundly influenced by his early life in rural France, surrounded by nature. His passion for insects was ignited during his childhood and further fostered by his career as a schoolmaster. Fabre's dedication to meticulous observation and documentation of insect behavior is evident in his writing, showcasing his belief in the importance of studying the behavior and life cycles of these often-overlooked creatures. "More Hunting Wasps" is highly recommended for both nature enthusiasts and scholars alike. Fabre's blend of science and storytelling provides a compelling read that not only informs but also captivates the imagination, making it a valuable addition to both scientific libraries and personal collections.

Control irritable bowel syndrome...

Dr. Nidal Moughrabi, Bobby Cole,...

Who is this hypnosis for:If you have been diagnosed with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome and:- medication has not worked for you or- you want to avoid medication and find a more natural way to deal with the IBS symptoms... this hypnosis will be useful.It will help you soothe your symptoms (stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation) and, if used regularly, it will support your healing.How it works:As you probably know, there is no physical cause for the IBS symptoms, our intestines simply stop functioning harmoniously. Medication is hardly helpful, as it will usually address the effects of this disturbance but not its cause.Because of this, the diagnosis is never pleasant. Living with the ailment can be quite a challenge (disturbing our work, relationships, free time). Yet, here is a piece of good news:While all our body parts are responsive to hypnosis, our digestive tract is much more so. It has been discovered that there is a deep connection between our brain and our digestive tract. The latter even contains about 100 million nerve cells and some call it our "abdominal brain".This means that it is entirely possible for our intestines, when given the right suggestions under trance, to calm down. With its intelligence and sensitivity, our digestive tract picks up the positive message and slowly shifts back into normal functioning, while the unpleasant symptoms ameliorate or disappear completely.This 29 min hypnosis is designed for this.My recommendation: try if for 3 days (once a day, at a time convenient for you). If you feel it is working for you, continue with it on a daily basis – this way, you will consolidate the results and support your healing.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training

Squirrel - How a Backyard...

Nancy F. Castaldo

Squirrels are a common sight, seemingly everywhere in wild and urban nature. But squirrels are more than amusing backyard entertainers, and few of us know much about them or fully appreciate their role in keeping the environment healthy. As stress on the natural world intensifies, should we be paying more attention to the plight of squirrels?In Squirrel, Nancy Castaldo shines new light on this familiar backyard mammal, exploring their staggering diversity and the many surprising ways they shape our world, our communities, and our cultures. Each chapter explores an aspect of squirrels and their close and sometimes fraught association with humans: their importance to myriad ecosystems through sophisticated food-caching strategies; their introduction to nineteenth-century urban parks as adorable ambassadors for nature; their complicated global status as both invasive and endangered; their role as celebrated cultural icons and social media memes; and ultimately, why we must prevent population declines and protect their well-being while we can. Like other wildlife species, squirrels are increasingly stressed by climate change, and their speculative fate may foreshadow our own. The book includes a detailed bibliography, an exhaustive list of squirrel species and their status, and tips for coexisting peaceably with squirrels in our yards and neighborhoods.
