Sinopse

Tulip Facts explores the world of tulips, connecting biology, economics, and horticulture. It reveals how a single flower became a cultural icon and an object of intense economic speculation. Readers will discover that tulips boast surprising genetic diversity, leading to a wide array of colors and forms, and that during the Dutch Golden Age, single bulbs commanded prices exceeding those of houses. 

 
The book delves into the infamous "Tulip Mania," dissecting the economic factors that fueled this speculative bubble. It also details the science behind cultivating tulips, guiding readers from bulb selection to achieving optimal blooms. Each chapter builds upon the last, starting with the tulip's botanical characteristics, then moving into its historical economic impact, and culminating in modern cultivation techniques. This approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of science, economics and culture.

 
The book's unique value lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from botanical research, economic records, and horticultural studies to present a comprehensive understanding of the tulip. It illustrates how the study of plant science and life sciences can inform our understanding of economic history and cultural phenomena.

    The De Monarchia is one of the main works by Dante Alighieri. It is a treatise on secular and religious power, and more specifically on the relationship between secular authority (represented by the Holy Roman Emperor) and religious authority (represented by the Pope).  The work is composed of three books, in which Dante condemns the theocratic conception of the power elaborated by the Roman Church and defends that both the Pope and the Emperor derive their power from God, and, that being so, God gave to each power in one certain area of life, which means they should not interfere with each other's power and one should not be considered above the other. - Summary by Leni

    “What do you think happens after we die?” has been Elizabeth Earley’s favorite conversation starter since the motorcycle accident that almost killed her. In Little Deaths All in a Row: Essays on Sex and Death, Earley delves into memories of past lovers and offers vivid portraits of the hospice patients she has worked with after recovering from her own near-fatal injuries. Tracing the many connections—philosophical, scientific, ethical, and spiritual—between sex and death, these lyric essays ponder the afterlife, pain and pleasure, quantum entanglement and love, and the “strange and painful goodness of being alive.”

    In 1948, the Appalachian Trail had been a continuous, 2,000-mile footpath for eleven years, but no one had walked its length alone in a continuous journey—until Earl Shaffer, a quiet Pennsylvanian, became a hiking legend and the first of what is now more than 5,500 A.T. "thru-hikers," walking from Georgia to Maine as spring arrived to each area. In 1998, he hiked again as a 50th-anniversary celebration, to far greater publicity. This is the lyrical account of his fabled 1948 walk. 
     
     
     
    Written soon after the first of his three thru-hikes, Walking with Spring chronicles Shaffer's adventures along a path that at the time was showing neglect of the war years and has since been rerouted significantly to its permanent location. His simply stated story has served as an inspiration for more than 9,000 men and women who have since followed in his footsteps . . . and many more who have tried.
