Beschreibung

The "Thornton Burgess Ultimate Collection" compiles the masterful works of Thornton Burgess, an author celebrated for his charming animal fables that not only entertain but also impart crucial lessons on nature and morality. Through delightful storytelling interwoven with vivid illustrations, Burgess brings to life a host of woodland creatures, creating a natural narrative that mirrors the complexities of human behavior. The literary style is marked by its simplicity and melodic rhythm, making it accessible to younger readers while still engaging for adults. The collection shines within the context of early 20th-century children's literature, which sought to educate children by instilling virtue through imaginative tales. Thornton Burgess (1886-1965) was deeply influenced by his early experiences in the natural world, growing up in a rural setting that fostered his love for animals and the environment. His firsthand encounters with nature, combined with his skill in drawing and writing, led him to create timeless characters such as Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck. Burgess's dedication to conservation and his advocacy for wildlife protection further enriched the themes of his stories, making him not just a storyteller but also a champion of the natural world. For anyone seeking to introduce children to the beauty and intricacies of nature through literature, the "Thornton Burgess Ultimate Collection" is a treasure trove of tales. It serves as an excellent tool for parents and educators aiming to inspire a sense of wonder and responsibility towards the environment in young readers. Engaging, educational, and beautifully crafted, this collection will resonate with those who cherish well-told stories that celebrate the interconnectedness of life.

    Throughout history, when threatened by wildfires our only defense was to pray for rain and run—until aircraft changed the way we fight fires. Beginning with the Canadian "H-Boats" in 1924, aircraft have become indispensable in detecting and extinguishing wildfires. Fire Eaters tells the incredible stories of the Ontario Provincial Air Service, the first government aerial fire suppression organization in history; one of its pilots, Carl Crossley, who invented the water scoop-up and drop-off system; and the Canadair CL-215, the first purpose-built water bomber. 
     
     
     
    Today, helicopters with "Bambi Buckets" and snorkels can dump water while hovering directly over the flames, and Air Tractors and Dash 8-400AT air tankers not only perform a crucial role in saving communities but also protect our ecosystem. Satellites—unmanned aircraft able to fly for sixteen hours, even overnight when manned aircraft do not—and artificial intelligence already play a decisive role in fire management. 
     
     
     
    But it is the men and women of the aerial fire service who have really changed the way we fight fire around the world. Their bravery and dedication mean that response times are fast, fires can be contained sooner, and people have the chance to save rather than lose everything.

    Sustainability - A Very Short...

    The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse. There is a need for a coherent synthesis which draws out key themes from both natural and social analysis of the concept.This Very Short Introduction begins by introducing the concept of sustainability and how it has developed. The central chapters consider four key concepts crucial to sustainability: a) material and energy flows in consumption and production; b) technological interventions for a sustainable society; c) tipping points, and resilience in natural and social systems; and d) renewability and circularity in the economy. In the concluding chapter, Saleem H. Ali explores political means of managing anthropogenic change for a more sustainable society.
