Sinopsis

In "The Sea" (La Mer), Jules Michelet embarks on a profound exploration of the ocean's role in human existence, blending scientific observation with poetic fervor. Through a richly descriptive narrative, Michelet presents the sea not merely as a physical entity but as a dynamic character that shapes culture, history, and emotion. His narrative style oscillates between lyrical prose and meticulous detail, capturing the vastness and the mystery of the marine world while advocating for a deep, emotional connection between humanity and the sea, reflective of Romantic ideals prevalent during the mid-nineteenth century. Jules Michelet (1798-1874) was a prominent French historian, often regarded as a pioneer of modern historiography. His lifelong fascination with the natural world and its interrelation with human history informed his writing. Michelet's rigorous scientific background, coupled with his passion for literature and philosophy, led him to perceive the sea as both a historical witness and a vital participant in the story of mankind, consequently framing his profound philosophical inquiries in "The Sea". I highly recommend "The Sea" to readers intrigued by the interplay of nature and culture. Michelet's immersive prose transports us into the depths of the ocean and the realms of thought, making this work not only essential reading for those fascinated by marine literature but also for anyone seeking a greater understanding of our planet's life force.

    Dr. Ryan Robinson should have been a statistic. Instead, he became a successful owner of multiple dental and medical practices—all before the age of forty. In 2015, with his first practice thriving, it looked like he already had “the life.” But inside, despite the external success, he had hit a personal rock bottom, burned out on dental work, and he realized he wasn’t truly passionate about the work. After asking himself, “Why am I here on this earth?” he recalibrated to find the answer and think bigger than ever before.

    The Nature of Desert Nature -...

    In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan's extended essay also called "The Nature of Desert Nature" reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads. 
     
     
     
    Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions. 
     
     
     
    The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places.

    The Decision Intelligence...

    Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. 
     
     
     
    But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. 
     
     
     
    With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. 
     
     
     
    This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: 
     
     
     
    ● How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? 
     
     
     
    ● How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? 
     
     
     
    ● How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?

    Dogopolis - How Dogs and Humans...

    Dogopolis presents a surprising source for urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships. 
      
    Stroll through any American or European city today and you probably won’t get far before seeing a dog being taken for a walk. It’s expected that these domesticated animals can easily navigate sidewalks, streets, and other foundational elements of our built environment. But what if our cities were actually shaped in response to dogs more than we ever realized? 
     
    Chris Pearson’s Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. Focusing on New York, London, and Paris from the early nineteenth century into the 1930s, Pearson shows that human reactions to dogs significantly remolded them and other contemporary western cities. It’s an unalterable fact that dogs—often filthy, bellicose, and sometimes off-putting—run away, spread rabies, defecate, and breed wherever they like, so as dogs became a more and more common in nineteenth-century middle-class life, cities had to respond to people’s fear of them and revulsion at their least desirable traits. The gradual integration of dogs into city life centered on disgust at dirt, fear of crime and vagrancy, and the promotion of humanitarian sentiments. On the other hand, dogs are some people’s most beloved animal companions, and human compassion and affection for pets and strays were equally powerful forces in shaping urban modernity. Dogopolis details the complex interrelations among emotions, sentiment, and the ways we manifest our feelings toward what we love—showing that together they can actually reshape society.
