Sinossi

The Yosemite Collection of John Muir is a captivating anthology that intertwines profound reflections on nature with Muir's captivating narrative style, richly illustrated to enhance the visual experience of the breathtaking landscapes he so ardently describes. In this collection, Muir's prose blends scientific observation with lyrical beauty, reflecting the transcendentalist traditions that influenced American literature in the late 19th century. Each essay is a testament to Muir's deep reverence for the natural world, as he uniquely captures the grandeur of Yosemite Valley, advocating for conservation and instilling a sense of awe in readers. John Muir, a Scottish-American naturalist and a key figure in the American environmental movement, penned this collection partly in response to the rapid industrialization threatening the pristine beauty of America's wilderness. His upbringing in Scotland, combined with his later experiences in the Sierra Nevada, fostered an unwavering love for nature, leading him to become a foundational figure in the establishment of national parks. Muir's passion and tireless activism for conservation are reflected deeply in these writings, which resonate with an urgency that remains relevant today. This illustrated edition is an essential read for anyone who seeks to understand the delicate relationship between humanity and nature. Muir's masterful prose and illuminating insights make this collection not only a timeless tribute to Yosemite but also a call to embrace environmental stewardship. Recommended for nature enthusiasts, literature lovers, and anyone wishing to explore the essence of one of America's most cherished treasures.

    How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences 
     
     
     
    In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. 
     
     
     
    Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.

    Bernd R. Hornung, Journal of Sociocybernetics
    Conversations for skeptics
    
    How real is reality? Are our images of the world mere inventions or do they correspond to an external reality? Is it possible to know the truth?
    
    These are some of the questions that are discussed in this book by physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and media studies scholar Bernhard Poerksen. Together they explore the limits of our cognitive capacities; they debate the apparent objectivity of our sensual perception and the consequences of "truth terrorism"; and they talk about the relationship between knowledge and ethics, sight and insight.
    The authors:
    Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) completed his studies of physics in Vienna and worked at different research labs before emigrating to the United States in 1949. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he established the Biological Computer Lab (BCL) – the cradle of the epistemology that would later cause a stir under the label of "constructivism." The focus was on analyzing the logical and methodological problems that in evitably arise when one seeks to know knowledge. He is the author of numerous books, including Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition.
    Bernhard Poerksen is professor of media studies at the University of Tübingen with a particular research interest in the new media age. His books about systemic thinking have been translated into many languages. In 2008 he was voted "Professor of the Year" in honor of his teaching. His most recent book publications in English include From Being to Doing: The Origins of the Biology of Cognition (with Humberto Maturana), The Unleashed Scandal: The End of Control in the Digital Age (with Hanne Detel), and Digital Fever: Taming the Big Business of Disinformation.

    Imagine having all of you needs reduced to the things you can't live without; food, water, and shelter. 
    In Footprint of a Heart, Shayla Paradeis, whose trail name is Kiddo, ventures off the path of musical theater at age 21 and moves from Manhattan to Montana. Trading tap shoes for hiking boots, she sculpts a life outdoors as a long-distance hiker. By age 34, she hiked the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, the Haute Route in the Alps, and the Te Araroa across New Zealand. As well as thousands of joyful miles running across the land of her dreams, Glacier National Park. All without a smart phone. 
    Kiddo shares the trailside moments of five long journeys, including barren deserts, windy ridges above tree line, ocean tides in estuaries, narrow spaces between the painted lines of highways and guardrails, and countless peaks, passes, meadows, and valleys. Her ventures take her through swarms of bugs, knee-deep mud, every kind of precipitation imaginable, and the threat of rattlesnakes, bears, charging bulls, and one angry mama turkey. 
    Journeys are often more internal than external. As she walks, she learns that counting miles can be a self-measurement as dangerous as body-image or money. The need to connect is the true north. With an openness taught through the trees, she experiences a fulfillment she never dreamed possible. Trails are no longer a thing to do, they're a place to be.

    Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. 
     
     
     
    Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species. 
     
     
     
    Among the moving stories the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference between hope and faith; an abused horse's background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who discovers and reaffirms her self-esteem; and a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears. 
     
     
     
    As you see how these people grow deeper into themselves as they learn the horse's way, you, too, will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and everlasting connection and communication between horses and humans.
