A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation's economic output. Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans' journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses.Ver livro
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.Ver livro
Most of my books on Aliens and UFOs are about evidence of them existing on Earth.However, there are also many unusual sightings in space which is the subject of this book. These sightings cover the following locations:UFOs flying around the International Space StationBases and UFOs on the MoonStrange sightings on Mars taken by our Martian rovers.In deep space elsewhere in the Solar SystemThese pictures may or may not be real alien life or UFO technologies, but they are fascinating none the less.Some of the sightings like the face in Cydonia are just a result of our natural abilities to see living forms in many types of pictures. But some may turn out to be real phenomena.Certainly, some of these sightings can’t be anything other than real UFOs.If you want to learn about strange sightings in the Solar System outside of Earth, then this book is for you.Ver livro
Welcome to explore this wonderful audiobook in which you will learn about the benefits of cannabis sativa as a treatment for anxiety. At the beginning you will surely have some doubts such as: what is anxiety? How do I know if I suffer from it? Read it with us and find out. Anxiety disorder is a collection of mental health conditions, characterized by ambiguous situations, by a disproportionate concern about future events that provoke physiological and behavioral responses, which prepare the individual for defense or flight. Worldwide, the estimated number of people with anxiety disorders totaled 264 million in 2015, a consequence of population growth and aging. In the Americas Region, it is estimated that up to 7.7% of the female population suffers from anxiety disorders (3.6% of men). Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis for the management and control of these conditions and to improve the quality of life of those who suffer from them. In this audiobook, you will understand how molecules derived from the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids, could be indicated for the effective treatment of patients diagnosed with this disorder. For this it is important to know the evolutionary history of anxiety, epidemiology, risk factors and how the diagnosis is made, the endocannabinoid system and its distribution in the body, its receptors and all the wonderful homeostatic-physiological functions it performs in our central nervous system, as well as clinical studies showing that phytocannabinoids, especially CBD, works as a possible anxiolytic treatment, for a satisfactory clinical evolution. Learn more about the incredible medical cannabis and how it can improve the quality of life of those suffering from anxiety disorder. We invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.Ver livro
String theory is a theoretical framework aiming to unify all fundamental forces and particles by positing that they are vibrations of one-dimensional "strings," rather than point-like particles. These strings, in different vibrational modes, correspond to various particle types and properties. Key to string theory is the requirement of extra dimensions—beyond the familiar three spatial and one temporal dimension—that are typically compactified into small, curled-up spaces. These extra dimensions are crucial for the theory's mathematical consistency and to reconcile gravity with the other fundamental forces. Central to its complexity are Calabi-Yau manifolds, complex multidimensional spaces used in the compactification process, influencing observable universe properties. Despite its potential to provide a unified framework for all physics forces, string theory faces challenges including mathematical intricacies, the lack of direct experimental verification, and numerous variant formulations.Ver livro
