Summary

Jules Michelet's "The Insect" is a captivating exploration of the hidden world of insects, merging scientific rigor with poetic finesse. Written in the mid-19th century during a period marked by burgeoning scientific inquiry and Romanticism, Michelet delves into the lives, behaviors, and societal structures of these often-overlooked creatures. His impressionistic style intertwines detailed observations with lyrical prose, reflecting both reverence and fascination for the natural world, thereby elevating entomology to an art form. This unique blend of narrative and scientific exploration places Michelet within the literary context of natural history writing, where he significantly evolves the genre through his passionate humanism and philosophical inquiries about nature's intricate design. Michelet, a prominent French historian, was deeply influenced by the coalescence of science and literature in his time. His upbringing in a natural landscape, coupled with a strong educational background in history and science, laid the groundwork for his investigative spirit. His earlier work on history and his personal struggles further fueled his desire to explore and convey the deep connections between humanity and the natural world, manifesting in this detailed study of insects as both biological entities and as symbols of life. I highly recommend "The Insect" to readers seeking not only an introduction to entomology but also a profound philosophical meditation on life itself. Michelet's rich insights and vivid descriptions invite the audience into the often-ignored realms of nature, prompting reflections on our relationship with the environment. This timeless work serves as both an educational resource and a poetic celebration of the intricate web of life.

    Our Last Best Act - Planning For...

    As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
 
 
 
With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
 
 
 
In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.
