The Bird

Jules Michelet

Beschreibung

In "The Bird," Jules Michelet embarks on a lyrical exploration of avian life that transcends mere natural observation, immersing readers in the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Written in the mid-19th century, the book reflects the Romantic literary style, characterized by vivid imagery and an emotional connection to the subject matter. Michelet employs an almost poetic prose, weaving together scientific observations with philosophical musings, ultimately revealing his reverence for birds as symbols of freedom and inspiration amidst the industrial age's encroachments on nature. The work stands as a testament to the burgeoning interest in biology and environment during the Enlightenment period, positioning birds as integral elements of the ecosystem worthy of admiration and protection. Jules Michelet (1798-1874), a prominent French historian and naturalist, is often noted for his passionate engagement with the natural world and its historical context. His background in history, combined with his fascination for nature, led him to reconcile the scientific and the spiritual in his writing. This duality is evident in "The Bird," where his admiration for the natural world is steeped in a historical narrative that reveals both human and avian evolution, reflecting the interconnectedness of all living things. For readers seeking a unique blend of nature writing and historical insight, "The Bird" offers a captivating journey into the world of birds, encouraging a deeper appreciation of their role in our lives and the environment. Michelet's evocative prose invites both ornithologists and casual readers alike to reflect on the beauty of nature and the urgency of its preservation. This work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, nature, and history.

Neuropsychology - Cognitive...

Marcio Ortíz, Miguel Vaquero

This title contains 2 books about similar topics, which are the following:
1: Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest.
Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life.
Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live.
For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat.
When you shake your head unconsciously, look away when lying, or suddenly get an inspiring thought "out of the blue," these are all signs that your subconscious is at work.
Additionally, you may not even be aware of the ideas and emotions stored in your subconscious, yet they can have a significant impact on your behavior and general well-being.
2: The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields.
Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome". All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity".
