Sinopse

In "A Visit to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky," John Wilson immerses readers in a vivid exploration of one of the world'Äôs most renowned subterranean landscapes. Written in 1858, this travel narrative combines rich descriptive language with an insightful commentary on the natural wonders and geological formations within the cavern. Wilson'Äôs literary style weaves personal observation with scientific inquiry, reflecting the Victorian fascination with nature and exploration as well as the nascent field of geology. His work not only captures the majesty of Mammoth Cave but also contextualizes it within the broader scope of American natural history, situating the cave as a vital site of exploration during a period of burgeoning American nationalism. John Wilson, a contemporary of the transcendentalist movement, was profoundly influenced by the Romantic ideals that emphasized the sublime beauty of nature. His background in the sciences and the arts allowed him to approach Mammoth Cave both as a natural phenomenon and as a symbol of exploration and discovery. Wilson'Äôs writings reflect his deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of nature and humanity, illustrating how such vast landscapes can evoke philosophical and existential contemplation. This book is highly recommended for both enthusiasts of American literature and those intrigued by the intersection of nature and exploration. Wilson's detailed observations and evocative prose invite readers to embark on their own intellectual journey into the heart of one of nature'Äôs most extraordinary sites, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of American cultural heritage.

    A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
     
     
      
    The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
     
     
      
    In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.

    A playful and provocative exploration of queer single parenting and love, in conversation with an AI algorithm and a toddler 
     
     
     
    My Child, the Algorithm describes encounters between a single parent, a curious, verbal toddler, and a language-producing algorithm. Like a male seahorse, Hannah Silva carried a baby made from her partner's egg. But when she gave birth, her partner left, and Hannah found herself navigating life alone with her child, surviving on United Kingdom universal credit, humor, and buckets of imagination. 
     
     
     
    As she navigates friendship, dating, and life as a queer parent in London, Hannah begins cowriting with an open-source language model, a precursor to ChatGPT, feeding the algorithm language and receiving language in return. Through her interactions with her toddler and the algorithm, expressions of humor, play, and insight begin to emerge. With the help and disruption of these unreliable narrators, Hannah deconstructs her story and constructs a new one, unraveling what she has been taught to want, finding alternative ways of thinking, loving, and parenting today.
