Sinossi

In "Through the Brazilian Wilderness", Theodore Roosevelt offers readers a captivating firsthand account of the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition of 1913-1914, an audacious adventure that traversed the untamed terrain of the Amazon rainforest. This narrative is not just an exploration of geography; it is a profound meditation on nature, human endurance, and the complexities of civilization versus wilderness. Roosevelt's evocative prose, marked by vivid imagery and an infectious enthusiasm for discovery, situates the book within early 20th-century American literature, reflecting the era'Äôs fascination with exploration and the natural world. The text masterfully intertwines adventure with scientific inquiry, showcasing Ecuador's diverse ecosystems and its indigenous cultures, thereby enriching the reader'Äôs understanding of both the adventure genre and environmental history. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was not only a statesman but also a fervent nature enthusiast and conservationist. His experiences, both in the rugged terrains of the American West and during this Brazilian journey, profoundly shaped his perspectives on conservation and the intrinsic value of unspoiled lands. Roosevelt's pursuit of adventure and knowledge is a testament to his character, as he once said, "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure'Ķ than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much." Readers looking for an exhilarating intersection of adventure, scientific discovery, and historical context are highly encouraged to explore "Through the Brazilian Wilderness". Roosevelt'Äôs narrative is not just an account of a journey; it is a clarion call to appreciate the natural world and recognize the significance of conservation, making it a vital read for historians, nature lovers, and explorers alike.

    A practical and occasionally provocative look at the state of spinal surgical care 
     
     
     
    Just a few decades ago most spine surgery was literally a gamble: maybe you'd get better and maybe you wouldn't. Today we have the knowledge, understanding, and technology to predictably relieve pain and neurological deficits like never before—yet many patients are still getting subpar care. 
     
     
     
    Foundational knowledge of surgical spine care isn't spreading to the medical community, let alone to patients, whose quality of life hangs in the balance. With The Back Story on Spine Care, orthopedic specialist Dr. Drew Bednar presents case studies that illuminate the common issues plaguing patients—and their treatment—today. 
     
     
     
    Back problems are among the most common health issues, and with Dr. Bednar's insights, knowledge, and practical tips, medical professionals can provide care that leads to healthier backs and happier lives.

  • On Time Causality and the Block Universe  - Scientific answers to our deepest questions - cover

    On Time Causality and the Block...

    May of us harbour deep questions on subjects such as the origin of the universe, the concepts of time and causality, the nature of consciousness and free will, the mind-body problems of philosophy, the relationship between mathematics and physics, and more. Conventional answers will usually be from fundamental physics (often deeply mathematical) or philosophy (often very abstract). This work takes a different view of reality by substituting mathematical determinism for causal determinism, thereby making it clear why mathematics so adequately describes our observations and measurements. It then deconstructs many aspects of experience - all of which taint our supposedly objective study of the universe - to see how they emerge from a timeless block universe. Subjects such as quantum theory, change, choice, probability, thermodynamics, and consciousness all have to be disassembled. The conclusion is consistent with both mathematics and experience, provides an answer that is immune from the question of 'first cause', and yet does not lead to further questions, albeit in an unexpected way.
