  The Meaning of Surah 99 Az-Zalzalah (The Earthquake) From Holy Quran Bilingual Edition In English and Spanish Languange Standar Version. 
  Surah Al-Zalzalah (The Earthuake") is the 99th chapter (surah) of The Holy Qur'an, composed of 8 verses (ayat). Though it is usually classified as a Medinan surah, the period under which the surah was revealed is not unanimously agreed upon by Qur'anic exegetes. 
  The surah begins by describing how on the Day of Judgment, the Earth will give off a terrible earthquake and "throw up her burdens". Through the inspiration of God, the Earth will bear witness to the actions of men it has witnessed. According to Michael Sells, the earth opening up and bearing forth her secrets in this surah is indicative of a birth metaphor. 
  The earth al-'Ard in the feminine gender bears forth of how her lord revealed the final secret to her. Human beings will then realize that the moment of accountability has arrived. This meticulous accountability will reflect good and evil deeds that might have seemed insignificant at the time. 
  The two concluding verses state that all men will be sorted out into groups according to their deeds, and they will see the consequence of everything they have done; every atom's weight of good or evil: 
  That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds. 
  And whoso doeth good an atom's weight will see it then, 
  And whoso doeth ill an atom's weight will see it then. 
  — The Holy Qur'an, verses 99:6-8

  By the Wainwright-Conservation-Prize-winning author of Rebirding 
  Spend a year in an orchard, celebrating its imperilled, overlooked abundance of life.  
  England's ancient orchards, collaborations between people and nature, are sources of hope for the future. Protecting them promises a far richer England for the centuries to come, for wildlife and for us. 
  As the seasons turn, a wealth of animals and plants are revealed: Bumble and solitary bees apartment-hunting in April; spotted flycatchers migrating in May; redstarts, hedgehogs and owls nesting in June; an explosion of life in the summer and the harvest and homespun cider-making in the autumn. And all throughout the year, the orchard’s human and animal inhabitants work together, creating one of the richest ecosystems left in Britain. 
  Explore this unique habitat throughout the course of a year, and marvel at the beauty and strength of nature. 
  Benedict Macdonald, the award-winning author, takes us on a journey through the year, highlighting the importance of protection and recreation in these natural habitats. His book, ORCHARD, is a testament to the environmental and natural sciences that thrive in these spaces, making it a top pick for those interested in botany and bird life. 
  For fans of Sarah Langford (In Your Defence), John Lewis-Stempel (Woodston), Isabella Tree (Wilding), Mark Avery (Fighting for Birds), and James Aldred (The Man Who Climbs Trees).

  Perfect - Feeling Judged on...

  Social media is replete with images of 'perfection'. But many are unrealistic and contribute to a pervasive sense of never being good enough: not thin enough; not pretty enough; not cool enough. Try too hard and you risk being condemned for being ‘attention-seeking’, don't try hard enough and you're slacking. 
   
  Rosalind Gill challenges polarized perspectives that see young women as either passive victims of social media or as savvy digital natives. She argues the real picture is far more ambivalent. Getting likes and followers and feeling connected to friends feels fantastic, but posting material and worrying about 'haters' causes significant anxieties. 
   
  Gill uses young women's own words to show how they feel watched all the time; worry about getting things wrong; and struggle to live up to an ideal of being 'perfect' yet at the same time ‘real’. It's the wake-up call we all need.

Studies show that even one night of disturbed rest leads to measurable impairments, and for this minicollection, we’ve gathered the most recent research on the mechanisms of sleep.
