Beschreibung

In "A Text-book of Entomology," A. S. Packard offers a comprehensive exploration of the fascinating world of insects, presenting both foundational knowledge and advanced insights into their anatomy, physiology, and classification. Through his meticulous research and observational style, Packard imbues the text with a rigorous scientific approach that is both accessible and engaging. His ability to synthesize intricate entomological details reflects the burgeoning interest in natural sciences during the late 19th century, positioning this work as an essential reference within the broader context of evolutionary biology and classification systems of the time. A. S. Packard was not only a prominent entomologist but also engaged deeply with broader biological themes, influenced by contemporaneous figures such as Darwin. His extensive fieldwork and commitment to advancing the understanding of biodiversity paved the way for this exhaustive text. Packard's dual expertise in art and science shines through in the clear illustrations that enrich the work, making complex concepts more approachable for readers of varied backgrounds. This indispensable resource is highly recommended for students, researchers, and anyone with a profound interest in entomology. Packard'Äôs thoughtful treatment of the subject enhances our appreciation of insects, their ecological significance, and inspires further exploration into the intricate web of life that they inhabit.

    An overdue indictment of government, industry, and faith groups that twist science for their own gain.During the next thirty years, the American public will suffer from a rampage against reason by special interests in government, commerce, and the faith industry, and the rampage has already begun. In Junk Science, Dan Agin offers a response—a stinging condemnation of the egregious and constant warping of science for ideological gain.In this provocative, wide-ranging, and hard-hitting book, Agin argues from the center that we will pay a heavy price for the follies of people who consciously twist the public's understanding of the real world.In an entertaining but frank tone, Agin separates fact from conveniently "scientific" fiction and exposes the data faking, reality ignoring, fear mongering, and outright lying that contribute to intentionally manufactured public ignorance. Many factions twist scientific data to maintain riches and power, and Agin outs them all in sections like these:--"Buyer Beware" (genetically modified foods, aging, and tobacco companies)--"Medical Follies" (chiropractics, health care, talk therapy)--"Poison and Bombs in the Greenhouse" (pollution, warfare, global warming)--"Religion, Embryos, and Cloning"--"Genes, Behavior, and Race"We already pay a heavy price for many groups' conscious manipulation of the public's understanding of science, and Junk Science arms us with understanding, cutting through the fabric of lies and setting the record straight.

    Sod Busting - How Families Made...

    “An excellent introduction to the challenges and opportunities of agricultural life in a difficult region for farming . . . elegantly written.” —Jeff Bremer, The Annals of Iowa 
     
    Prairie busting is central to the lore of westward expansion, but how was it actually accomplished with little more than animal and human power? In Sod Busting, David B. Danbom challenges students to think about the many practicalities of surviving on the Great Plains in the late nineteenth century by providing a detailed account of how settlers acquired land and made homes, farms, and communities. He examines the physical and climatic obstacles of the plains—perhaps America’s most inhospitable frontier—and shows how settlers sheltered themselves, gained access to fuel and water, and broke the land for agriculture. 
     
    Treating the Great Plains as a post-industrial frontier, Danbom delves into the economic motivations of settlers, how they got the capital they needed to succeed, and how they used the labor of the entire family to survive until farms returned profits. He examines closely the business decisions that determined the success or failure of these farmers in a boom-and-bust economy; details the creation of churches, schools, and service centers that enriched the social and material lives of the settlers; and shows how the support of government, railroads, and other businesses contributed to the success of plains settlement. 
     
    Based on contemporary accounts, settlers’ reminiscences, and the work of other historians, Sod Busting dives deeply into the practical realities of how things worked to make vivid one of the quintessentially American experiences, breaking new land. 
     
    “A cogent and engaging portrait of the real lives of those who settled the Great Plains.” —Nebraska History
