Squirrels and Other Fur-Bearers

John Burroughs

Sinopse

In "Squirrels and Other Fur-Bearers," John Burroughs embarks on a captivating exploration of the natural world, focusing on the habits, behaviors, and ecological significance of fur-bearing animals, particularly squirrels. This work exemplifies Burroughs's mastery of naturalist writing, combining keen observation with lyrical prose that invites readers into the intricate lives of its subjects. Positioned within the late 19th-century American transcendentalist movement, the book reflects a profound appreciation for nature while integrating scientific insights, an approach that resonates with readers interested in both artful narrative and factual accuracy. John Burroughs, a prominent naturalist and essayist, was deeply influenced by the philosophy of transcendentalism and the works of contemporaries like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. His lifelong commitment to the study of nature stemmed from both his rural upbringing and an enduring fascination with wildlife, which he believed held lessons about simplicity and harmony. In this light, "Squirrels and Other Fur-Bearers" not only serves as an invitation to observe nature closely but also underscores Burroughs's advocacy for environmental appreciation and conservation during a time of rapid industrialization. This book is a must-read for anyone enchanted by the beauty and complexity of wildlife. By engaging with Burroughs's insightful musings, readers gain not only knowledge about specific fur-bearers but also a deeper connection to the natural world. Whether you are a seasoned naturalist or a casual nature enthusiast, Burroughs's timeless prose will inspire you to observe and cherish the environment around you.

Clamor - How Noise Took Over the...

Chris Berdik

An eye- (and ear-) opening investigation into how the cacophony of our ever-noisier world affects our health, our well-being, and our planet. 
 
 
 
Early-morning jackhammering from construction down the block. The dull roar of jet overflights. Your officemate's phone conversations. Noise is everywhere, disrupting our sleep, ratcheting up our stress, destroying our concentration—yet it's a problem that many of us shrug off once the immediate annoyance passes. In Clamor, Chris Berdik reveals noise as one of the most pervasive, yet underacknowledged, pollutants in our daily lives, the harms of which extend far beyond our hearing, from our children's learning outcomes to our longevity to the natural world around us. 
 
 
 
We systemically neglect life's sonic dimension at our peril—not only driving up the racket but failing to harness sound's great potential. Berdik introduces us to the researchers, rock stars, architects, and many others who are finding surprising ways to make our world sound not only less bad, but better. Rising above the ever-increasing din, Clamor is an urgent—and ultimately inspiring—call to reconsider our relationship to our world's soundscapes.

Roman Medicine and Science -...

Rogan Fish

Roman medicine was a blend of practical knowledge, religious beliefs, and influences from earlier civilizations, particularly the Greeks and Etruscans. While early Roman healing methods were deeply rooted in superstition, the expansion of the empire led to the adoption of more systematic medical practices. Over time, Roman medicine evolved into a structured system that combined natural remedies, surgical techniques, and public health initiatives.
Greek influence played a significant role in shaping Roman medical knowledge. Before Rome conquered Greece, healing in the Roman Republic was often associated with household remedies and religious rituals. However, as Greek physicians such as Archagathus and later Galen entered Rome, their advanced knowledge in anatomy, surgery, and pharmacology became widely accepted. Many Roman physicians were either trained by Greek mentors or studied Greek medical texts. Hippocratic principles, which emphasized observation and diagnosis, became foundational in Roman medical education.
Despite the growing reliance on scientific methods, religion and superstition remained integral to Roman healing practices. The Romans believed that diseases could be divine punishments or warnings from the gods. Temples dedicated to deities like Aesculapius, the god of medicine, served as healing centers where the sick sought divine intervention. Priests and healers performed rituals and sacrifices to appease the gods and cure ailments. Additionally, charms, amulets, and incantations were commonly used to ward off illness. Even as medical science progressed, many Romans continued to rely on religious customs for healing.
