Sinopsis

In "The Grand Cañon of the Colorado," John Muir presents a profound exploration of one of nature's most awe-inspiring landscapes. With lyrical prose that captures the grandeur and intricate beauty of the Grand Canyon, Muir merges vivid descriptions with philosophical reflections on the natural world's significance. His work is not merely a travelogue but a passionate plea for conservation, written at a time when the American wilderness was increasingly threatened by industrial encroachment. Muir's analysis situates the Canyon within the broader context of American Romanticism, highlighting humanity's deep-rooted connection to nature. John Muir, often hailed as the 'Father of the National Parks,' was profoundly influenced by his experiences in nature and his dedication to environmentalism. His upbringing in Scotland, followed by his migration to America, ignited a lifelong passion for the outdoors, which he ardently advocated for through his writing and activism. Muir's firsthand encounters with the Grand Canyon's breathtaking vistas inspired him to articulate the intrinsic value of preserving such areas for future generations, echoing his belief in nature's transformative power. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in environmental literature or the history of America's national parks. Muir's eloquence not only enhances the reader's appreciation for the Grand Canyon but also serves as a timely reminder of the necessity for environmental stewardship today.

    Chemically Imbalanced - Everyday...

    Everyday suffering—those conditions or feelings brought on by trying circumstances that arise in everyone’s lives—is something that humans have grappled with for millennia. But the last decades have seen a drastic change in the way we approach it. In the past, a person going through a time of difficulty might keep a journal or see a therapist, but now the psychological has been replaced by the biological: instead of treating the heart, soul, and mind, we take a pill to treat the brain. 
     
    Chemically Imbalanced is a field report on how ordinary people dealing with common problems explain their suffering, how they’re increasingly turning to the thin and mechanistic language of the “body/brain,” and what these encounters might tell us. Drawing on interviews with people dealing with struggles such as underperformance in school or work, grief after the end of a relationship, or disappointment with how their life is unfolding, Joseph E. Davis reveals the profound revolution in consciousness that is underway. We now see suffering as an imbalance in the brain that needs to be fixed, usually through chemical means. This has rippled into our social and cultural conversations, and it has affected how we, as a society, imagine ourselves and envision what constitutes a good life. Davis warns that what we envision as a neurological revolution, in which suffering is a mechanistic problem, has troubling and entrapping consequences. And he makes the case that by turning away from an interpretive, meaning-making view of ourselves, we thwart our chances to enrich our souls and learn important truths about ourselves and the social conditions under which we live.
