Beschreibung

Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1726) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian who has been considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived. His monograph Philosophia Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, laid the foundations for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motion of objects on Earth and that of celestial bodies is governed by the same set of natural laws: by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation he removed the last doubts about heliocentrism and advanced the scientific revolution. The Principia is generally considered to be one of the most important scientific books ever written, both due to the specific physical laws the work successfully described, and for its style, which assisted in setting standards for scientific publication down to the present time.

This eBook is taken from a chapter in Sir Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers (2nd edition, 1907).

    Is that medicine really good for you, or do you just believe it is? The placebo effect is a controversial topic, insomuch that people falsely accuse certain medicinal oils, pills, or supplements as being useless. But at the same time, there really are some drugs that don’t do anything by themselves, yet have the desired effect because of what people trust they do. So what is the truth? How does the placebo effect work? Does it even work? 
    It is not as simple as answering “yes” or “no”, but as we take a closer look at the concept, more light will be shed on the matter, and the benefits, the dangers, and the health effects of it will become clear as glass. Questions, such as the one above and many others, will be answered. You will hear facts and questions like:The very definition of placebos and how to recognize them as what they areOutrageous numbers about how the medicinal industry has scammed millions of customers into buying their junkWhether the placebo effect is actually a good thing and whether or not your beliefs can heal youHow the placebo effect relates to weight loss, wrinkle creams, blood pressure, and hypnosis When to be suspicious of placebos and when they are better than actual drugsSneaky ways in which people sell precious metals and how it relates to the placebo effectEverything else you need to know about the placebo effect 
    Nobody likes to be fooled, and nobody wants to believe something that isn’t true. So if you want to outsmart yourself, the medical industry, and some of those overpriced doctors who try to make a living from people’s trusts and fears, you better do yourself a favor and learn everything about the placebo effect to save yourself time, money, and some donkey ears.

    The Hindi translation of The Living Mountain. 
    A new story from internationally renowned author Amitav Ghosh, Mahaparbat is a cautionary tale of how we have systematically exploited nature, leading to an environmental collapse. 
    Recounted as a dream, this is a fable about Mahaparbat, the Living Mountain; the indigenous valley dwellers who live and prosper in its shelter; the assault on the mountain for commercial benefit by the Anthropoi, humans whose sole aim is to reap the bounty of nature; and the disaster that unfolds as a result. 
    Mahaparbat is especially relevant today when we have been battling a pandemic and are facing a climate catastrophe: both of which are products of our insufficient understanding of mankind's relationship with nature, and our sustained appropriation and abuse of natural resources. This is a book of our times, for our times, and it will resonate strongly with readers of all ages.

    A powerful movement is happening in farming—farmers are reconnecting with their roots to fight climate change.In Healing Grounds, Liz Carlisle tells the stories of Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are reviving their ancestors' methods of growing food—techniques long suppressed by the industrial food system. These farmers are restoring native prairies, nurturing beneficial fungi, and enriching soil health. While feeding their communities and revitalizing cultural ties to land, they are steadily stitching ecosystems back together and repairing the natural carbon cycle. This is the true regenerative agriculture—not merely a set of technical tricks for storing CO2 in the ground, but a holistic approach that values diversity in both plants and people. Cultivating this kind of regenerative farming will require reckoning with our nation's agricultural history—a history marked by discrimination and displacement. And it will ultimately require dismantling power structures that have blocked many farmers of color from owning land or building wealth.By coming together to restore these farmlands, we can not only heal our planet, we can heal our communities.
