The Sea (La Mer)

Jules Michelet

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

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.

Planta Sapiens - The New Science...

Paco Calvo, Natalie Lawrence

An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
 
 
 
Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
 
 
 
A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

Looking Up - A Birder's Guide to...

Courtney Ellis, Kay Warren

"Look at the birds"
Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. "Took up" might not be exactly right—as she puts it, "the switch flipped," and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By "looking up" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.
Complete with bird songs at the beginning of each track, this audiobook enhances your experience as you look up and listen to the birds.

Bluebird Seasons - Witnessing...

Mary Taylor Young

In this A Sand County Almanac for the twenty-first century, nature writer and zoologist Mary Taylor Young tells the story of the growing effects of climate change on her land in the pine-covered foothills of southern Colorado. 
 
 
  
Climate change wasn't yet on the public radar when Young and her husband bought their piece of the wild in 1995. They built a cabin and set up a trail of bluebird nest boxes, and Mary began a nature journal of her observations, delighting in the ceaseless dramas, joys, and tragedies that are the fabric of life in the wild. 
 
 
  
But changes greater than the seasonal cycles of nature became evident over time: increasing drought, trees killed by plagues of beetles, wildfires, catastrophic weather, bears entering hibernation later and thinner, the decline of some familiar birds, and the appearance of new species. 
 
 
  
Using the journal as a chronicle of change, Young tells a story echoed in everyone's lives and backyards. But it's not time to despair, she writes. It's time to act. 
 
 
  
Young sees hope in the human ability to overcome great obstacles, in the energy and determination of young people, and in nature's resilience, which the bluebirds show season after season.
