  Thin Places - A Natural History...

  Kerri ní Dochartaigh was born in Derry, on the border of the North and South of Ireland, at the very height of the Troubles. She was brought up on a council estate on the wrong side of town—although for her family, and many others, there was no right side. One parent was Catholic, the other was Protestant. In the space of one year, they were forced out of two homes. When she was eleven, a homemade bomb was thrown through her bedroom window. Terror was in the very fabric of the city, and for families like ní Dochartaigh's, the ones who fell between the cracks of identity, it seemed there was no escape. 
   
   
   
  In Thin Places, a luminous blend of memoir, history, and nature writing, ní Dochartaigh explores how nature kept her sane and helped her heal, how violence and poverty are never more than a stone's throw from beauty and hope, and how we are, once again, allowing our borders to become hard and terror to creep back in. Ní Dochartaigh asks us to reclaim our landscape through language and study, and remember that the land we fight over is much more than lines on a map. It will always be ours, but—at the same time—it never really was.

  Why We Run - A Natural History

  When Bernd Heinrich decided to write a memoir of his ultramarathon running experience he realized that the preparation for the race was as important, if not more so, than the race itself. Considering the physiology and motivation of running from a scientific point of view, he wondered what he could learn from other animals. 
   
   
   
  In Why We Run, Heinrich considers the flight endurance of birds, the antelope's running prowess and limitations, and the ultra-endurance of camels to understand how human physiology can or cannot replicate these adaptations. With his characteristic blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical musings, Heinrich offers an original and provocative work combining the rigors of science with the passion of running.

  The Nature of Desert Nature -...

  In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan's extended essay also called "The Nature of Desert Nature" reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads. 
   
   
   
  Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions. 
   
   
   
  The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places.

  Celestial Conundrums - Nine...

  Dark matter, a mysterious and invisible substance, remains one of the most profound puzzles in modern astrophysics. Despite being undetectable by conventional means, its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Comprising roughly 27% of the universe’s total mass-energy content, dark matter far outweighs the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and galaxies. However, scientists have yet to identify its true nature. 
  The origins of the dark matter hypothesis trace back to the early 20th century when astronomers noticed an unusual phenomenon. The visible mass of galaxies and clusters of galaxies appeared insufficient to explain their observed gravitational behavior. In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky first coined the term “dark matter” while studying galaxy clusters. He realized that the galaxies within these clusters were moving too quickly for the amount of visible matter present, suggesting the existence of an unseen mass exerting a gravitational pull. Since then, dark matter has become an essential concept for understanding the dynamics of galaxies and the larger structure of the universe. 
  Over the decades, further evidence for dark matter has emerged, from the rotation curves of galaxies to the behavior of galaxy clusters. When astronomers measure how fast stars orbit the center of a galaxy, they find that stars on the outer edges move much faster than expected based on the mass visible in the galaxy. If only the observed matter were present, the stars would not have enough gravitational pull to remain bound to the galaxy. This discrepancy is explained by the presence of an unseen mass—dark matter—scattered throughout the galaxy. Additionally, observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which reflects the early universe, also point to dark matter's existence as a key player in the formation of the cosmos.
