Sinopse

Richard Jefferies' "Round About a Great Estate" elegantly captures the intricate relationships between nature, estate life, and the human experience in Victorian England. Jefferies employs a lyrical prose style that seamlessly intertwines vivid descriptions of the English countryside with astute observations of rural society. Set against the backdrop of a grand estate, this work explores themes of class, the interplay between man and nature, and the contemplative reflections of life in the pastoral landscape, showcasing Jefferies' ability to evoke the sublime beauty of rural life while critiquing its underlying social structures. A prominent figure in the nature writing genre, Richard Jefferies was an English poet and essayist whose fascination with the natural world often stemmed from his own experiences growing up on a farm in Wiltshire. His personal struggles with health and his deep appreciation for the simpler, more profound aspects of life fueled his desire to articulate the interconnectedness of humanity and the environment. This context enriches "Round About a Great Estate," as Jefferies infuses his reflections with a sense of urgency and authenticity stemming from his own life experiences. This evocative work is recommended for readers interested in the intersection of literature, nature, and social commentary. Jefferies' keen observations and rich prose invite readers to ponder the beauty and challenges of estate life, making it an essential read for those seeking to understand the complexities of rural existence and its enduring significance in modern discourse.

    The first comprehensive user guide to GLP-1s (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound) with an overview of how they work and possible side effects. Also including companion recipes, exercise guidance, and new habits to maintain lifelong health and keep weight off for good. 
    The newest class of weight loss drugs (GLP-1s) are complete game-changers in their potential to reverse obesity and its related diseases, with nearly 50% of Americans qualifying for the use of these drugs. Already 1 in 8 Americans say they’ve tried a GLP-1 medication—but with many acquiring their prescription from online pharmacies, med spas, and general practitioners, they face a huge gap between trying the drug and achieving their health goals with it long-term. 
    That’s where The Ozempic Revolution comes in. Alexandra Sowa, MD, a leading obesity medicine specialist, shares her expertise on this much-discussed but largely misunderstood class of medica­tions, including information like:What the GLP-1 experience really feels likeHow to know if you’re a candidate for these medicationsHow to get a prescription and get it covered by insuranceHow to manage and reduce unwanted side effectsUnique food plans and strategies for managing the mental challenges of losing weightSimple, easy recipes for when you don’t feel like eating 
    Traditional and social media has been flooded with junk information and stigmatizing headlines about GLP-1s, and in this book, Dr. Sowa digs into all of it—the good, the bad, and the ugly—bringing the science to light. 
    If you’re curious about how GLP-1s might fit into your life, or want to optimize your experience while taking them, then Dr. Sowa’s clear-eyed, fully informed approach is a must-read. The Ozempic revolution changes everything: these drugs finally provide a viable, healthy, and sane way to lose weight, avoid disease, and maintain your health gains for life.

    Some 4.6 billion years ago, a planetary system was born from a disc of gas and dust surrounding a young star.  
     
    Specks of dust, pushed into dense clumps, collided, stuck together, and grew. While the gas disappeared, the growing bodies clashed in a final violent phase, leaving a series of planets, and much debris. The planets jostled and moved around as they sought a stable  
    arrangement, knocking many small fragments out of the system altogether while others formed a distant icy fringe. The massive violent collisions of this time gouged out vast craters from the newborn planets, and sometimes created moons.  
     
    Such was the birth of our Solar System. Only recently have scientists begun to find subtle clues of these ancient, violent times. Remarkably, they are still there, if we look carefully at the Earth’s oldest rocks, at Mars and the Moon with their ancient surfaces, and at the  
    asteroids, which are themselves startlingly varied small worlds. Clues are also to be found in the meteorites that have landed on Earth. From such splinters, from the precious collection of lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts, and the information  
    gleaned by spacecraft and the Mars rovers, we are slowly building up a picture of the early days of the planets.  
     
    Simone Marchi, a planetary scientist involved with several space missions including Dawn, captures the excitement of these discoveries. We learn of the evidence for an early dramatic rearrangement of the big planets; for a once warm and wet Mars where life  
    perhaps still lurks today; and for the huge collisions that have shaped our own planet and affected life’s trajectory upon it. For all their destructive power, cosmic collisions have played a critical role in creation.  
     
    Without them, we would not exist.

    When astronomers wanted a telescope that could capture X-rays from celestial bodies, they looked to the lobster. When doctors wanted a medication that could stabilize Type II diabetic patients, they found their muse in a lizard. When scientists wanted to drastically reduce emissions in cement manufacturing, they observed how corals construct their skeletons in the sea. This is biomimicry in action: taking inspiration from nature to tackle human challenges. 
     
     
     
    In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds. 
     
     
     
    While the joy of scientific discovery is front and center, Nature's Wild Ideas is also a love letter to nature—complete with a deep message of conservation: If we are to continue learning from the creatures around us, we must protect their untamed homelands.
