Summary

From the smallest particles to the largest structures, matter is made up of elements. These fundamental building blocks of the universe come in 118 different forms, each with its own unique properties and behaviors. In this captivating book, we take a journey through the world of elements, exploring their history, their properties, and their applications.

We'll start by delving into the fascinating world of atoms, the basic units of matter. We'll learn about their structure, their interactions, and how they combine to form molecules and compounds. We'll also explore the periodic table, the organizing principle that groups elements based on their atomic number and properties.

Next, we'll embark on a historical adventure, tracing the discovery of elements from ancient times to the present day. We'll meet the brilliant scientists who unlocked the secrets of matter, from alchemists seeking to turn lead into gold to modern chemists synthesizing new elements in the laboratory.

We'll then delve into the properties of elements, examining their physical and chemical characteristics. We'll explore how elements react with each other, forming compounds with a wide range of properties. We'll also discuss the role of elements in our everyday lives, from the air we breathe to the food we eat to the medicines we take.

But elements are not without their challenges. We'll examine the dangers posed by radioactive elements, the toxicity of some elements, and the environmental impact of element mining and processing. We'll also discuss the geopolitical issues surrounding access to rare elements and the need for responsible element stewardship.

Finally, we'll look to the future of elements. We'll explore the search for new elements, the potential of elements for new materials and technologies, and the role of elements in space exploration. We'll also discuss the impact of elements on the environment and the need for sustainable element use.

Throughout this journey, we'll be amazed by the beauty and diversity of elements. We'll discover the incredible power of these tiny particles and the profound impact they have on our world.

    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.

    Many subjects critical to personal growth have slowly become regarded as inflammatory: Communication. Culture. Money. Nutrition. Science. Social Media. Politics. Equality. Feminism. 
Refreshingly operating without bias, these “hot seat” topics are constructively discussed with intelligence and heart — going far beyond the offerings of public school curriculum.

    In this new book, Trainini and his team attempt a step forward and make a series of proposals that come to complete cardiac anatomy, physiology and mechanics. Reading this new investigation is a pleasure that demands continuous attention, so that our "neuronal boxes" do not rebel against the effort it means to sometimes destroy what we have firmly installed in them. The text should be read slowly, as it was never easy to tread in swamp-limited grounds and, as in the ascent to the summit of a difficult mountain, stop now and then to take a breath and enjoy the view as we get near the peak, where we will see the final landscape of the new vision. Then we will be conscious that the effort was worthwhile.
