Beschreibung

In "In African Forest and Jungle," Paul B. Du Chaillu presents a vivid narrative that captures the awe and complexity of the African wilderness. Fusing personal anecdotes with detailed observations, Du Chaillu employs an engaging literary style characterized by rich descriptions and an adventurous tone. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century exploration, the book serves as both a travelogue and a natural history, offering insights into the diverse flora and fauna of equatorial Africa while also touching on the cultures of the indigenous peoples he encounters along the way. Paul B. Du Chaillu, an American explorer and anthropologist born in 1835, was among the first Westerners to explore the interior of Africa, his passion for natural history evident in his meticulous documentation. Formative experiences in his youth—including his early encounters with African landscapes and cultures—shaped his fascination with the region. His travels, which were often perilous and fraught with challenges, provided him unique perspectives that he weaves throughout the book, exploring themes of survival, curiosity, and wonder. This book is highly recommended for readers with an interest in exploration narratives, natural history, and cultural anthropology. Du Chaillu's evocative storytelling invites readers to experience the majesty of Africa's jungles, making it an essential read for those yearning to explore the confluence of human and natural worlds.

    The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering, life extension, and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty-first century, provoking endless debates around humans "playing God." 
     
     
     
    But what do we mean by this? Asking this question is surprisingly hard work. Attempts to "essentialize" science, let alone religion, quickly run into trouble. Where are the boundaries? Whose definition of science is definitive? Which concept of religious is the authoritative one? 
     
     
     
    Ultimately, neither "science" nor "religion" can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition. Rather, they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways. Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK—including Martin Rees, Brian Cox, Susan Greenfield, A. C. Grayling, Ray Tallis, Linda Woodhead, Steve Bruce, Adam Rutherford, Robin Dunbar, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, and Iain McGilchrist—The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much-needed step of asking what science and religion actually are, before turning to the familiar question of how they relate to one another.
