Sinopsis

In "The Life and Love of the Insect," Jean-Henri Fabre intricately explores the fascinating world of insects through meticulous observation and poetic prose. His approach combines scientific rigor with a lyrical style, emphasizing both the beauty and complexity of insect behaviors and their natural habitats. Fabre'Äôs vivid descriptions and anthropomorphic insights not only illuminate the life cycles and mating rituals of these creatures but also invite readers to reflect on broader themes of existence and interdependence within nature. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period marked by significant advancements in biology and entomology, Fabre's work resonates with the burgeoning curiosity of the time regarding the interconnectedness of life forms. Fabre, a naturalist and entomologist, dedicated his life to studying and documenting the behaviors of insects in their native environments. Born in France in 1823, his scientific endeavors were shaped by his passion for nature and a desire to educate the public about the often-overlooked wonders of the insect world. His experiences, including long hours spent observing insect activity in the field, infuse his writing with authenticity and personal engagement, making the text both informative and relatable. For readers captivated by nature and the intricacies of ecological relationships, "The Life and Love of the Insect" offers a transformative lens through which to view these small yet vital creatures. Fabre's reflections awaken a sense of wonder and inspire appreciation for the hidden lives of insects, making this classic text a compelling addition to any nature lover's library.

    The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
     
     
     
    The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
     
     
     
    This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

    Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
      
    This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.
