Synopsis

Survival Science explores the scientific foundations of essential survival skills, revealing how understanding nature's principles is key to thriving in challenging environments. The book focuses on fire-making, food sourcing, and navigation, demonstrating that survival isn't just about instinct, but about applying scientific concepts.

 
Did you know that mastering fire-making involves understanding thermodynamics, or that navigating without a compass relies on keen observation of natural indicators like the stars and wind patterns?

 
The book uniquely deconstructs survival techniques into their fundamental scientific principles, explaining the "why" behind each technique, rather than simply providing instructions. Beginning with an introduction to core scientific concepts, the book progresses through chapters dedicated to fire, food, and navigation, examining both traditional and modern techniques.

 
Ultimately, Survival Science emphasizes adaptability and ethical considerations, connecting these skills to broader fields like environmental science and anthropology.

    In this audiobook Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian, presents a celebration of the human search for truth and beauty through the lenses of science and poetry. Poetry and science, as Popova writes in her introduction, "are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply." In 15 short essays on subjects ranging from the mystery of dark matter and the infinity of pi to the resilience of trees and the intelligence of octopuses, Popova tells the stories of scientific searching and discovery. These stories are interwoven with details from the very real and human lives of scientists—many of them women, many underrecognized—and poets inspired by the same questions and the beauty they reveal. Each essay is paired with a poem reflecting its subject by poets ranging from Emily Dickinson, W. H. Auden, and Edna St. Vincent Millay to Maya Angelou, Diane Ackerman, and Tracy K. Smith. Together, they wake us to a "reality aglow with wonder."

    This is the second of two travelogues published by Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958).  Both deal with Glacier National Park, and this book also deals with the Cascade Mountains (The other is entitled Through Glacier Park).  Rinehart wrote hundreds of short stories, poems, travelogues and articles, though she is most famous for her mystery stories.  The region that became Glacier National Park was first inhabited by Native Americans and upon the arrival of European explorers, was dominated by the Blackfeet in the east and the Flathead in the western regions. - Summary by wikipedia and david wales

    The city of Liebe is gone and Oscar presumed dead. With Tabby Miss Cakes adrift in a crumbling realm of myth and memory, she is not sure what’s real anymore—or if anything ever was.  
    When Oscar reappears, inexplicably alive, the two stumble into a bizarrely wholesome world where animals sand horses, kindness is weaponised and no one seems to notice the sky is falling.  
    That’s because a poet is eating reality.  
    The Ar’dath-Irr, a lunatic bard of monstrous power, is enslaving writers to pen a reality-warping Creed. His disciples are many. His Muse is now airborne and terrifying. And Oscar? He’s caught in the middle—again.  
    Teaming up with Jeffemeries, an exploding-bun enthusiast, Oscar and Tabby must navigate a surreal landscape filled with monstrous beasts, curried pumpkins, spoon-waving cultists and a clinically confused populace. But as lies unravel, their friendship—and whatever hope remains—is ravaged by an oncoming tsunami of madness.  
    Part fever dream, part odyssey, part philosophical slapstick, With Eyes No Longer Blind is a journey into utter absurdity and clinical insanity.  
    Book 2 of the Morigan Tetralogy. It’s poetic, deadly and Oscar is absolutely the wrong cat to star in it.
