In "The Mountains of California," John Muir embarks on a profound exploration of the Sierra Nevada, capturing its breathtaking landscapes and ecological significance with rich descriptive prose and vivid imagery. Muir'Äôs literary style melds scientific observation with lyrical expression, reflecting the Romantic tradition that celebrated nature's beauty and spirituality. This seminal work, published in 1894, not only showcases Muir's deep reverence for the natural world but also positions itself within the burgeoning environmental movement of the late 19th century, advocating for the preservation of America's wilderness areas. Original drawings and photographs enhance the narrative, allowing readers to visualize the majesty of the mountainous terrain he so passionately defends. As a naturalist, writer, and activist, John Muir'Äôs life was intricately intertwined with the landscapes he cherished. His formative years spent in Scotland and later in the American wilderness instilled in him a profound appreciation for nature'Äôs intricacies. Muir'Äôs personal encounters with the breathtaking vistas of California spurred him to articulate the urgent need for conservation, making his works foundational texts in the environmentalist canon. His experiences shaped not only his philosophy but also the future of the National Parks movement. "The Mountains of California" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature, environmental science, and conservation. Muir's eloquent prose invites readers to immerse themselves in the majesty of California'Äôs mountainous regions, compelling them to appreciate and protect the natural world. This book is a timeless testament to the enduring bond between humanity and nature, making it an essential addition for both nature enthusiasts and literary scholars.

Lest We Forget - A Doctor’s...

Kwan Kew Lai

In 2014 after fighting through yards of bureaucratic red tape, leaving her family, and putting her own health at risk in order to help suffering strangers, Kwan Kew Lai finally arrived in Africa to volunteer as an infectious disease specialist in the heart of the largest Ebola outbreak in history. What she found was not only blistering heat, inhospitable working conditions, and deadly, unrelenting illness, but hope, resilience, and incredible courage. 
 
 
 
Lest We Forget chronicles the harrowing and inspiring time spent serving on the front lines of the ongoing Ebola outbreak—the complicated Personal Protective Equipment, the chlorine-scented air, the tropical heat, and the heartbreaking difficulties of treating patients she could not touch. Dr. Lai interweaves original diary entries to create a gripping narrative about life, death, and human relationships that will leave no listener unmoved. 
 
 
 
Lest We Forget exposes the raw brutality of Ebola, as well as the chaotic nature of the undersupplied and understaffed health infrastructure in the developing world. At once a memoir of triumphs and failures and a memorial, this book will ensure that the victims of Ebola and the fighters who sought to heal them will not be forgotten.
