John Burroughs, an influential American naturalist and essayist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is often recognized as a precursor to modern environmentalism. His deep-rooted connection to the natural world, cultivated during his formative years in rural New York, propelled him to advocate for the appreciation of nature. A contemporary of writers like Walt Whitman and John Muir, Burroughs synthesized personal experience with observation, illuminating the spiritual and philosophical implications of nature in his works.

Ecology - Understanding...

Jeron Iris

Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relationships between living organisms and their interactions with their environment. This scientific discipline explores how organisms coexist within ecosystems, interact with one another, and adapt to their surroundings. The study of ecology is vital because it provides insight into the functioning of natural systems and the impact human activities have on the environment. It emphasizes the interdependence of all life forms, from microscopic bacteria to the largest animals, and underscores the intricate balance necessary for sustaining life on Earth. 
At its core, ecology is concerned with understanding the distribution and abundance of organisms, as well as the processes that shape these patterns. It is a multidisciplinary field that draws from biology, geography, geology, chemistry, and physics. Ecologists examine how factors such as climate, geography, and natural resources influence the diversity of life in different habitats. They also study the effects of human intervention, such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change, on ecosystems.

Owning the Sun - A People's...

Alexander Zaitchik

Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
 
 
  
Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.
