Beschreibung

In "My First Summer in the Sierra," John Muir recounts his transformative journey into the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains, intertwining sketches of nature with philosophical introspections. This illustrated edition brings Muir's vivid prose to life, showcasing his deep appreciation for the natural world through rich, descriptive passages that evoke the sights and sounds of the wilderness. Muir'Äôs narrative style is both poetic and observational, rooted in the Romantic tradition, reflecting a profound connection to nature while advocating for its preservation amidst the encroaching industrialization of the late 19th century. John Muir, often revered as the "Father of the National Parks," was a Scottish-American naturalist and environmentalist whose profound love for wilderness emerged from his formative years in Scotland and later explorations across the American landscape. His experiences in the Sierra directly influenced his environmental advocacy, leading him to found the Sierra Club and significantly shape America'Äôs conservation ethos. Muir's passion for the natural world is palpable, as he offers a deeply personal journey that highlights both the beauty of the wilderness and the imperative need for its protection. This beautifully illustrated edition of "My First Summer in the Sierra" serves as both a love letter to nature and a clarion call for environmental stewardship. Modern readers'Äîand nature lovers in particular'Äîwill find resonance in Muir'Äôs reflections, making this work not only a historical account of America's wilderness but a timeless reminder of our intrinsic connection to the earth.

    Virology is the branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of viruses, including their structure, classification, replication, pathogenesis, and interactions with hosts. Viruses are unique infectious agents that exist at the boundary between living and non-living entities. Unlike bacteria and other microorganisms, viruses cannot replicate independently; they rely entirely on host cells to reproduce. This dependency makes them significant in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and public health. 
    The significance of virology has expanded with the emergence of novel viral diseases, pandemics, and the continuous evolution of viral pathogens. From early discoveries of viral infections to the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies, virology has played a crucial role in advancing medical science. The study of viruses extends beyond human health, influencing veterinary medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. Understanding the fundamental principles of virology is essential for diagnosing, treating, and preventing viral diseases. 
    Historically, virology began with the discovery of infectious agents that were too small to be seen under a microscope. The first major breakthrough occurred in the late 19th century when Dmitri Ivanovsky and Martinus Beijerinck independently demonstrated that certain infectious agents, later identified as viruses, could pass through filters that trapped bacteria. This led to the realization that viruses were distinct from other microorganisms. The discovery of bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, further expanded the field and paved the way for molecular virology.

    Forgotten Forests: Twelve...

    Ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, are dotted around the British Isles, the last survivors of a lost world. Now, new scientific studies of these trees and of fossilised forests and of our oldest wooden artifacts can help us to understand the many woodlands that have disappeared from our landscapes. 
    Locked in ice for more than twenty thousand years, the lands that now make up Britain and Ireland were some of the last settled by humans. The earliest people, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers like Cheddar Man, arrived around eleven thousand years ago to find dense forests. While they lived lightly, they did introduce fire, which they used to create clearings, and this was the beginning of the reshaping of Britain’s forests. 
    When Neolithic farmers migrated to Britain from Europe some six thousand years ago, it meant a violent end to the hunter-gatherers’ way of life. It also indicated a dramatic change for the ecosystems. Forests were cleared for fields, trees and plants fed to livestock and predators hunted. A wild, forested world became one of agriculture and villages. 
    As humans learned to work bronze, then iron, they also used wood in myriad ways, building homes, then cathedrals, hand tools then furniture and early machines, boats and eventually immense ships. The forests of Britain and Ireland fuelled the burgeoning human civilisation, from the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Normans, to the British, Scottish, Welsh and Irish peoples through to the present day. In that time our woodlands have changed beyond recognition, but clues to their story remain. Biologist and Britain’s first senior officer for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Jonathan Mullard retraces the history of the forgotten forests of Britain and Ireland, piecing together historical records going as far back as the written word and archaeological evidence going back far further. The result is a wealth of arcane anecdotes and the latest scientific understanding of our natural history, as well as a fascinating journey through the forests, landscapes and human history of Britain. 
    In his latest non-fiction work, Forgotten Forests, Jonathan Mullard takes us on a journey through time, exploring the habitats that once covered Britain and Ireland. His deep understanding of ecology and passion for nature shine through in this compelling narrative of human impact and ecological transformation.
