Sinopse

The Collected Works of Thornton Burgess encompasses a rich tapestry of children's literature that celebrates the natural world and its inhabitants through whimsical storytelling and charming prose. Burgess's narratives, characterized by anthropomorphism, invite readers into the vibrant lives of woodland creatures such as Peter Rabbit and Reddy Fox. His engaging style blends moral lessons with entertaining plots, reflecting the early 20th-century literary context where nature conservation began to emerge as a significant theme in American literature, urging young readers to develop a deep appreciation for ecology and wildlife. Thornton Burgess, an American naturalist and author, drew inspiration from his profound love of nature and keen observation of animal behavior. His upbringing in the rustic landscapes of Massachusetts and his passion for environmental advocacy arguably shaped his worldview and motivated him to inspire future generations through stories. With over 170 books to his credit, Burgess's commitment to fostering environmental stewardship in children is evident, establishing him as a pioneer in combining education and entertainment in literature. This extensive collection is not only a treasure for young readers but also serves as an invaluable resource for educators and parents seeking to instill respect for nature. The timeless narratives, infused with charm and wisdom, make this work a delightful addition to any literary collection, encouraging readers of all ages to embark on adventures in the great outdoors.

    Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
     
     
     
    In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

    What is the role of activists and civil society in defining and defending the collective good in healthcare, especially in cases where that good seems to be heavily shaped by market dynamics? Presenting conceptual and empirical studies from a variety of healthcare contexts and theoretical perspectives, this book addresses this vital question by drawing together multidisciplinary scholarship from science and technology studies, sociology, organization studies, marketing, philosophy, and public health. 
     
     
     
    Healthcare has undergone three major changes over the past decades: the advent of personalized medicine, the marketization of public care systems, and the digitalization of healthcare services. This book maps these changes and illustrates the extent to which they are interlinked to produce a seemingly unstoppable move toward individualization in healthcare. The book also traces how activists react to these tensions to argue for and defend the common good. It thus sketches a multifaceted picture of healthcare activism in the twenty-first century as civil society responds to these dynamics at the crossroads of markets and morals, economic and social justifications, individual and collective, and digital and non-digital worlds. Crucially, it also highlights potential solutions in a post Covid-19 world.
