Sinopsis

In "The Hunting Wasps," Jean-Henri Fabre masterfully immerses readers in the intricate world of solitary wasps, blending meticulous observation with lyrical prose to reveal their fascinating behaviors and life cycles. This work stands out as a hallmark of natural history writing, enriched by Fabre's keen scientific acumen and evocative storytelling that brings the delicate balance of nature to life. Through vivid descriptions and illuminating insights, Fabre invites readers to witness the extraordinary instances of instinct and survival, highlighted by his unique ability to anthropomorphize these creatures without sacrificing their authenticity within the natural order. Jean-Henri Fabre, a pioneering entomologist and one of the foremost figures in natural history, cultivated a profound fascination for the natural world from a young age. His extensive fieldwork and innovative methodologies provided him with a deep understanding of insect behavior, leading him to challenge contemporaneous scientific notions while emphasizing the importance of observation. Fabre'Äôs passion for educating the public about nature's wonders shines through his writing, making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging. Recommended for both scholars and casual readers alike, "The Hunting Wasps" serves as an exquisite introduction to the world of entomology. Fabre'Äôs blend of science and art reveals a narrative that not only enriches our understanding of wasps but also inspires a greater appreciation for the intricacies of the natural world.

    Sleep Sounds 1 Fall Asleep...

    Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep. 
    The Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
    The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
    Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of Calming Rain, Distant Thunder and the Gentle Tones of Classical Music. 
    Program Two: 10 hours of just the sounds of Calming Rain and Distant Thunder without the classical music. 
    The classical musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
    The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
    So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
    Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include mellow arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of "Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."

    When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
     
     
     
    What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
     
     
     
    Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.

    A Bonsai is never finished. It grows, rests, and adapts — season after season.   
    Each cut, each pause, each act of care shapes not only the tree, but the one who tends it.   
    What we nurture, in time, nurtures us. 
    Pruned to Grow invites you into a quiet dialogue between cultivation and self-reflection,   
    where the art of Bonsai becomes a mirror for living with intention — through patience, restraint, and renewal. 
    For the complete visual experience, including the sumi-e inspired artwork, the illustrated print edition is available on Amazon.

    The subject is topical, and the author’s angle is provocative, but not contrarian. Acknowledges many of the environmental concerns, but also note that some plastics are not as bad compared to some of the alternatives. Interesting detail about the people behind the invention of plastic. Will appeal to fans of popular science and those with interest in environmental issues.
