Beschreibung

In 'Gems, Pearls, and Pebbles: 4 Classic Books on Precious Stones,' readers will embark on a sparkling journey through the multifaceted world of gemstones. This anthology weaves together diverse literary styles that range from scientific exploration and historical narrative to cultural reflection and educational insight, representing a fascinating cross-section of literature on the subject. The compilation features a selection of remarkable passages that collectively illuminate the inherent beauty and storied past of precious stones, offering a kaleidoscopic view into their significance across societies and eras. The collected works stem from a rich tradition of inquiry into natural wonders, as penned by renowned figures such as Paul E. Desautels and others whose formative contributions to the field have shaped our current understanding. These authors, affiliated with institutions like the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and other movements, have chronicled the gemological heritage that intertwines with cultural and historical narratives. Their scholarly pursuits in this anthology reveal how the glittering facade of gemstones opens broader discussions on human desire, economic impacts, and artistic inspiration. Readers of this anthology are invited to discover an intricate lattice of perspectives that collectively broaden the horizon of gemological studies. The volume serves as an invaluable resource for both enthusiasts of mineralogy and historians of culture, encouraging deeper exploration into the variegated stories each stone tells. Through this scholarly treasure trove, immerse in the dialogue of these classic works, each contributing a unique sparkle to the anthology's illuminating exploration.

    Planet Earth has been a familiar concept for a mere fraction of recorded history. Until about the mid-1600s, most humans thought of Earth as immobile, likely either dim or simply invisible from the Moon or anywhere else in the heavens, and not (like the planets) participating in what Galileo called "the dance of the stars." A Universe of Earths retraces the exhilarating story of how all that changed, and how we came to perceive the Earth as a "wandering star."  It's a story that has vastly augmented and enriched our understanding of how Earth and its inhabitants fit into the big picture of the Cosmos.But almost as soon as humans started to grasp that Earth is a planet, many also began wondering if perhaps the other planets might be earths. This bold conjecture ignited the whole gripping history and literature of space travel, of extraterrestrials, of other worlds. And yet the thesis that the Universe is full of other worlds like Earth has from the start been fueled more by imagination than by scientific evidence. 
    A Universe of Earths offers a surprising alternative to that "other worlds" account, one that releases humans not only from the pre-Copernican view of Earth as low, lowly, dark, a cosmic sump, but also from the persistent modern aspersion of Earth as cosmically ordinary, "mediocre," "dethroned."

    Many of us spend a great deal of our time dreaming about our next trip to the mountains, whether for a weekend getaway or our yearly vacation. We hear within that deep inexplicable pull toward the wilderness and would agree with John Muir, who said: "The mountains are calling and I must go." We sense that in the wild we are touching the edge of something that is both wonderful and mysterious. 
    In this book Erik Stensland, a professional landscape photographer based in Estes Park, Colorado, explores this longing we have for the wilderness and suggests that it is the trailhead for a journey to wholeness. Through short daily reflections on the natural world paired with his gorgeous photos from Rocky Mountain National Park, he encourages us to go deeper within ourselves and discover the healing that nature is offering.
