John Burroughs

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Locusts and Wild Honey," John Burroughs explores the intricate relationship between humanity and nature through a series of insightful essays. Written in a lyrical and contemplative style, Burroughs's work is rooted in the transcendentalist tradition, drawing on themes of observation, reverence, and the pursuit of natural knowledge. The book seamlessly weaves personal anecdotes with philosophical reflection, as Burroughs examines both the beauty and the pragmatism found in the natural world. His vivid descriptions and acute perceptions invite readers to appreciate the biodiversity surrounding them and question their role within it. John Burroughs (1837-1921) was an influential naturalist and essayist whose deep connection to the American landscape informed much of his work. Raised in upstate New York, Burroughs developed an affinity for nature early on, spending countless hours in the woods and fields. His experiences as a schoolteacher and a writer of essays were enriched by his friendships with prominent figures, including Walt Whitman and Theodore Roosevelt, which further solidified his commitment to environmental advocacy and appreciation. "Locusts and Wild Honey" is a must-read for anyone curious about the delicate interplay between humans and the environment. Burroughs's prose serves as both a call to mindfulness and a celebration of nature's wonders, making the book a timeless resource for enthusiasts of natural history and philosophy alike.

Stone by Stone - The Magnificent...

Robert M. Thorson

There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. 
 
 
 
Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. 
 
 
 
Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.

DESCRIPTION
Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students.

The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book.

Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary.

These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom.

Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition.

We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.
