In "Birds and their Nests," Mary Howitt captures the delicate interplay between nature and literature, offering a rich exploration of avian life through vivid poetic imagery and charming prose. The work serves as both an educational treatise and an artistic reflection, emulating the Romantic era's fascination with ornithology while providing detailed accounts of various bird species and their habitats. Howitt intertwines her lyrical style with a moralistic tone, enriching readers' appreciation for nature'Äôs intricate beauty and sparking curiosity about the importance of ecological conservation. Mary Howitt, an esteemed Victorian author and poet, is noted for her extensive contributions to children'Äôs literature and her advocacy for social reform. Born in 1799, Howitt was influenced by the Romantic ideals of her time, fostering a deep connection with the natural world. Her love for nature not only informed her writing but also underlined her belief in the moral responsibility to protect it. This background illuminates the themes present in "Birds and their Nests," positioning it as a personal and societal commentary. This enchanting volume is highly recommended for readers who appreciate nature, poetry, and the intricate relationships between humans and the avian world. Howitt'Äôs work invites readers of all ages to pause and reflect on the beauty surrounding them and inspires a conservationist spirit that resonates to this day.

  • The Sixth History of Man - cover

    The Sixth History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Sixth History of Man is the last narrative in the History of Man Series that uses infection as the underlying foundation. The series will continue but use other disease platforms for jumping off. From a human infection perspective, this sixth book will visit with the King of Pop Michael Jackson, vitiligo and propofol, the famous and infamous sexually transmitted diseases—herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, HIV and the granddaddy of colorful stories, syphilis—with their very entertaining tales, a world of romance, suspense, and thrillers. We’ll hop from science to art to music, going back in time to the astronomy of the Persians, Syrians, the Greek Aristotle and on to Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler. Our travels will take us to the Renaissance of art and music, stopping along a few stations, such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Monet. A discussion of why and how humans went from spoken language to written language is on our menu. We will pay homage with another visit with the First Viennese School, parse senility, delirium, and dementia and most assuredly discuss the women who helped build Johns Hopkins Hospital. OK Boomers! and the sociology of cohort generations will help complete this narrative.

    Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
     
     
     
    As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.

    The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a book written by Nels Anderson, which provides a comprehensive sociological study of the homeless population in America during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of ""hobos"" - a term used to describe homeless men who traveled from place to place in search of work - and sheds light on the social and economic factors that led to their homelessness.Anderson's research is based on his own experiences living among the homeless population, as well as interviews with hundreds of hobos across the country. He examines the unique culture and social structures that developed within the hobo community, including their codes of conduct, language, and customs.The book also delves into the larger societal issues that contributed to the rise of homelessness during this time period, such as the Great Depression, industrialization, and the decline of traditional forms of work. Anderson argues that the hobo lifestyle was a response to these larger societal changes, and that understanding the hobo subculture is crucial to understanding the broader social and economic forces at play.Overall, The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a groundbreaking work that provides a nuanced and empathetic look at the lives of homeless men during a tumultuous period in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of homelessness, as well as anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
