  The Nature Book

  Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. 
   
   
   
  What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.

  Neonatology - Care of the Newborn

  Neonatology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the care of newborn infants, particularly those who are ill or premature. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the survival and well-being of newborns, especially in the first few days and weeks of life, which are critical for the infant’s long-term health. The field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common newborn illnesses to complex and rare congenital disorders, and involves the expertise of neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other medical professionals working collaboratively in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). 
  At birth, the infant undergoes a series of physiological changes, transitioning from the maternal environment to the external world. This period of adaptation is a defining feature of neonatology, where the neonatologist’s role is to manage any challenges that arise during this transition. This includes monitoring the newborn’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature regulation, as well as ensuring the baby is receiving adequate nutrition and support. 
  Neonatology has advanced significantly over the past few decades, with improvements in neonatal care reducing mortality rates for preterm infants and those with congenital conditions. Innovations such as advanced respiratory support systems, better understanding of neonatal pharmacology, and the development of sophisticated monitoring techniques have drastically improved the chances of survival for critically ill newborns. These advancements have also contributed to a deeper understanding of the long-term effects of prematurity, low birth weight, and other neonatal complications on development.

  Love for the Land - Lessons from...

  Love for the Land explores the power and potential of people-place relationships. Through clear and compelling prose, it elevates the virtues of imagination, affection, and fidelity—concepts promoted by farmer-writer Wendell Berry—and shows how they motivate small- and mid-scale farmers to care for the land, even in the face of adversity. Paying particular attention to farmland loss from suburban sprawl, rampant agricultural consolidation, and, for farmers of color, racial injustice, Brooks Lamb reckons with the harsh realities that these farmers face. 
   
   
    
  Drawing from in-depth interviews and hands-on experiences in two changing rural communities, he shares stories and sacrifices from dozens of farmers, local leaders, agricultural service providers, and land conservationists. Lamb's rural roots and farming background enable him to cultivate honest, trusting connections with the farmers he engages, yielding raw and powerful insights. Time and again, compelling evidence reveals that stewardship virtues encourage people to live and act as devoted caretakers. 
   
   
    
  With a refreshing, accessible, and engaging approach, Lamb argues that these resilient and often overlooked farmers show rural and urban people alike a way forward, one that serves people, places, and the planet. That path is rooted in love for the land.
