Sinopse

In "Riverby," John Burroughs offers a profound exploration of the natural world through a series of contemplative essays that seamlessly blend personal reflection with astute observations of wildlife and landscape. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of 19th-century American nature writing, Burroughs'Äôs prose invites readers to engage deeply with their surroundings, drawing on rich imagery and sensory detail. As an early proponent of the environmentalist movement, Burroughs contextualizes his work within the burgeoning appreciation for nature during the American Transcendentalist period, echoing the sentiments of contemporaries like Thoreau and Emerson while establishing his distinct voice. John Burroughs (1837-1921) was a naturalist and essayist whose lifelong affinity for the great outdoors began in his youth, growing up on a farm in New York. His interactions with nature fostered a passionate advocacy for ecological conservation, and his writings reflect a commitment to observing and preserving the beauty of the natural world. Burroughs'Äôs connections with influential figures in the conservation movement, alongside his travels and experiences in varied landscapes, culminated in this celebrated collection that seeks to inspire a reverent connection to nature through the written word. Readers who seek to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world will find "Riverby" to be an enriching companion. Burroughs'Äôs elegantly crafted prose not only enlightens but also encourages introspection and mindfulness about one'Äôs place within the environment. This book is essential for those who appreciate nature writing and the philosophical inquiries it inspires, making it a timeless classic in American letters.

    This short paper on logic argues that logic and science can go hand in hand, and that, by taking observations of perceptions and sensations, and applying logical analysis to them, you have the power to build conceptual models and frameworks that you can use in order to predict what you should do in the future and to reason how to solve the problems in your life. Examples from hard science, and examples of the use of science and logic in the courtroom to understand legal arguments, are presented, as well examples of how to figure out the answers to the mundane ordinary problems that we humans have in our lives. 
    Mandatory must-read for anyone who wants to think and live using logic.

    Is Anyone Listening? - What...

    If you could pose one question to a dolphin, what would it be? And what might a dolphin ask you? For forty years, researcher and author Denise L. Herzing has investigated these and related questions of marine mammal communication. But the dolphins are not the only ones talking, and in this wide-ranging and accessible book, Herzing explores the astonishing realities of interspecies communication, a skill that humans currently lack. 
     
     
      
    Is Anyone Listening? connects research on dolphin communication to findings from Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Dian Fossey on mountain gorillas, Cynthia Moss on African elephants, and others driving today's exploration of possible animal languages. As Herzing reveals, researchers are finding fascinating hints of language in nonhuman species, including linguistic structures, vowel equivalents, and complex repeated sequences. By looking at the many ways animals use and manipulate signals, we see that we've only just begun to appreciate the diversity of animal intelligence and the complicated and subtle aspects of animal communication. 
     
     
      
    Considering dolphins and other nonhuman animals as colleagues instead of research subjects, Herzing asks us to meet animals as both speakers and listeners, as mutually curious beings, and to listen to what they are saying.

    If you are struggling with self-love, this meditation will help you tap into the source of love within you and guide you toward a deep acceptance of yourself. 
    If you are here, it means you are on a path toward healing and self-love. Loving yourself is truly the greatest gift you can give yourself and the world because it will allow your authentic self and unique gifts to find expression.  
    Lack of self-love can manifest in different ways in your life. Perhaps, you are constantly harsh on yourself, perhaps you find it hard to forgive yourself or you do not hold space for your own emotions, maybe you stifle your passions and abandon your dreams, maybe you people please and find it hard to say “no” to others. 
    But what is self-love? Why does it come so easily to some and yet seem impossible for others? What does it really mean to love yourself? Why can’t you feel this love for yourself?  
    This guided meditation with soothing music and a calm voice will remind you who you really are.
