Summary

"Raven Prophets" explores the deep-seated connections between ravens, other birds, and human understanding of prophecy, mortality, and knowledge across cultures and history. It examines how these avian creatures have shaped our spiritual and intellectual landscapes, diving into the confluence of science, mythology, and literature.

 
A key insight reveals how birds have been used in divination, with ancient Roman augurs interpreting flight patterns and Norse legends featuring Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn, as conduits to the divine. Furthermore, the book uncovers the pervasive association of ravens with death, exploring their role as psychopomps or symbols of decay and transformation in various cultures.

 
This study uniquely blends scientific research, including ornithology, with historical accounts and anthropological studies to trace the evolution of avian symbolism. The book's approach progresses from introducing core concepts of bird symbolism to examining specific topics such as avian divination, the raven's role in death rituals, and the portrayal of birds as symbols of knowledge.

 
By examining folklore, literature, and art, "Raven Prophets" argues that the enduring presence of birds in our stories reflects our need to find meaning in the natural world, offering insights into human cognition and cultural development.

    Biology is the study of life and living organisms, encompassing their structure, function, growth, evolution, and interactions with their environment. This diverse field seeks to answer fundamental questions about life, such as how organisms survive, reproduce, and evolve over time. Understanding biology is crucial not only for gaining knowledge about the natural world but also for addressing issues in medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and biotechnology. 
      
    At its core, biology explores the characteristics of life, which include organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation. All living organisms share these characteristics, though they may express them in various ways. From the microscopic bacteria that live in the soil to the complex human body, biological processes are at work, and each organism plays a part in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. 
      
    A key concept in biology is the cell, the basic unit of life. All living organisms are made up of cells, which come in two main types: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are simpler and lack a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells are more complex and contain a nucleus that houses the organism’s genetic material. These cells combine to form tissues, organs, and systems that carry out essential functions within an organism.

    Man Cattle and Veld

    THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management. 
    Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume. 
    Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld. 
    Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world. 
    Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation. 
    Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.
