Beschreibung

In "The Complete Works of John Muir (Illustrated Edition)," readers are invited into the poetic and passionate prose of one of America'Äôs foremost naturalists and conservationists. This meticulously curated collection showcases Muir's writings on nature, intertwined with rich illustrations that evoke the breathtaking landscapes he so fiercely defended. Muir's literary style blends personal narrative with scientific observation, reflecting the Romantic-era fascination with nature while also manifesting an early environmental consciousness that resonates throughout modern ecological discourse. Each piece not only emphasizes the beauty of the natural world but also critiques humanity's disconnection from it, making the collection both a literary treasure and a manifesto for conservation. John Muir (1838-1914), often referred to as the "Father of the National Parks," founded the Sierra Club and played a pivotal role in the establishment of numerous national parks, including Yosemite. His experiences as a wanderer and naturalist profoundly influenced his writings, revealing an intimate relationship with nature that underscored the urgency of environmental preservation'Äîa theme that echoes throughout his works. Muir's affinity for the sublime in nature stemmed in part from his Scottish upbringing, which instilled a deep appreciation for the wilderness. This illustrated edition is highly recommended for anyone interested in environmental literature, history, or the intricate relationship between humanity and nature. Each page not only invites a deeper understanding of Muir's philosophy but also inspires a renewed commitment to environmental stewardship, making it essential reading for both scholars and casual readers alike.

Time Song - Searching for...

Julia Blackburn

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE AND THE HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZEA journey told through stories and songs into Doggerland, the ancient region that once joined the east coast of England to Holland. Time Song tells of the creation, the existence and the loss of a country now called Doggerland, a huge and fertile area that once connected the entire east coast of England with mainland Europe, until it was finally submerged by rising sea levels around 5000 BC.  Blackburn mixes fragments from her own life with a series of eighteen 'songs' and all sorts of stories about the places and the people she meets in her quest to get closer to an understanding of Doggerland. She sees the footprints of early humans fossilised in the soft mud of an estuary alongside the scattered pockmarks made by rain falling eight thousand years ago. She visits a cave where the remnants of a Neanderthal meal have turned to stone. In Denmark she sits beside Tollund Man who seems to be about to wake from a dream, even though he has lain in a peat bog since the start of the Iron Age.

Reaching the Moon: The History...

Editors Charles River

The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.
