Sinopse

In "Through the Wilderness of Brazil," Theodore Roosevelt chronicles his 1913 expedition into the uncharted territories of the Amazon rainforest, blending vivid personal narrative with profound reflections on nature and civilization. His literary style, marked by a robust and vibrant prose, captures the challenges and wonders faced by his party amid the lush and treacherous landscape. The book delves into themes of exploration, ecology, and the contrasts between untamed wilderness and modern society, positioning itself within a tradition of American adventure literature and environmental discourse that seeks to make sense of humanity's place in the natural world. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States and a passionate conservationist, embarked on this expedition following a notable political career that emphasized the importance of preserving the nation's natural resources. His experiences as a rancher, explorer, and natural historian deeply informed his perspective, culminating in a desire to document the richness of the Amazon and advocate for its protection. This journey was a reflection of both his awe of nature and his commitment to the ethical stewardship of the environment. This compelling book is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, ecology, and American history. Roosevelt's vivid descriptions and insightful observations offer readers a unique window into the heart of Brazil's wilderness, making it an essential contribution to both literary and environmental scholarship.

    "This book is profound... A must-read... Five stars." --Reader's Favorite 
    “Masterful… uplifting…” –Self Publishing Review 
    “Many books promise to change a person’s life. This one actually might.” –IndieReader 
    One of the essential books of our time, Reclaiming the Sacred draws on the work of thousands of psychologists and economists, cosmologists and activists, saints and poets, to ground us in our inherent joy, purpose, and belonging—both for our own sakes and the sake of the world. 
    It starts with an overview of the science of happiness, highlighting the things that most nourish human well-being—and some that don’t, most notably money and possessions. It goes on to examine the ways money nonetheless hooks so many of us, and the profound consequences our materialism has for us and the world—most critically the global climate crisis. 
    And then it goes beyond all of that, diving into the very heart of ourselves and the world, taking us on an exhilarating journey—both scientific and mystical—of reclaiming the sacredness of ourselves and this gorgeous world. This book elevates our existence, and lays an essential foundation for transcending this most critical era in human history.

    A look at the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the plant specimens the great explorers gathered on their way—and of their amazing afterlife.Elizabeth Adelman's Chasing the Missing Monkeyflower is the two hundred-year saga of finding, losing, and finding the wild plants collected on America's first exploration west, the Lewis and Clark Expedition.Thomas Jefferson handpicked Meriwether Lewis to lead the expedition, gather notable specimens along the way, and then write the journals, with one volume to include science-worthy descriptions and classifications of the plants that Lewis collected and pressed to preserve. Not a botanist, Lewis needed help to write this part of the journals.Ambition, deceit, theft, wealth, debt, alcoholism, loss, suicide, serendipity, and stubborn persistence cross the plants' paths in Philadelphia, New York, and London. This is the first work detailing the places, practices, and times of a cavalcade of people who touched the plants. A fascinating chronicle of an unexplored byway of the great American story.
