Sinopse

In "Evolution, Old & New," Samuel Butler presents a compelling critique of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, intertwining a deep philosophical inquiry with a critical examination of natural selection. Written in Butler's distinctive, candid prose, the work challenges prevailing scientific notions by positing an alternative view of evolution that incorporates elements of design and purpose. Throughout the book, he employs anecdotal evidence and rigorous reasoning, prompting readers to reconsider the mechanistic interpretations of life and its development, all while engaging with the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the late Victorian period. Samuel Butler, an iconic figure of the Victorian era, was not only an author but also a painter, philosopher, and social critic. His multifaceted interests and life experiences—including his time in New Zealand, where he engaged with both the natural world and indigenous cultures—shaped his understanding of evolution. Butler's unique perspective, which combines literary artistry with philosophical depth, stems from his restless intellectual curiosity and an enduring challenge to orthodox beliefs in both science and society. This book is essential for readers interested in the intersections of literature, science, and philosophy. Butler's provocative arguments invite reflection on the nature of progress and adaptation, making "Evolution, Old & New" a significant contribution to the discourse on evolution that remains relevant today.

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.
