Sinopse

In "The Geographical Distribution of Animals (Vol. 1 & 2)", Alfred Russel Wallace presents a pioneering exploration of biogeography, interweaving meticulous observations of flora and fauna with the emerging scientific principles of evolution and natural selection. Written in a clear and engaging style characteristic of Victorian naturalism, this work meticulously categorizes species and their habitats across various world regions, delving into the effects of geography on biodiversity. Wallace's keen insights laid foundational stones for modern ecology, revealing intricate relationships between environment and species distribution, emphasizing the significance of geographical barriers in the evolution of life. Alfred Russel Wallace, often heralded as the father of biogeography, was a contemporary and collaborator of Charles Darwin. His extensive travels across the tropical regions, including the Amazon and the Malay Archipelago, enriched his understanding of the natural world and informed his theories on evolution. The robust scientific inquiries and experiences that Wallace amassed during his expeditions reflect a profound dedication to understanding life's diversity, elevating his work in this volume to a cornerstone of biological sciences. This seminal work is highly recommended for scholars, ecologists, and naturalists alike, offering a comprehensive and detailed examination of animal distribution that is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. Wallace's unique perspective not only enhances our understanding of animal geography but also invites readers to appreciate the intricate web of life that defines our planet.

    A Fresh Look at God and Faith 
    Have you ever asked deep questions about God, prayer, or the Bible? Quantum Faith was written for seekers who want answers that make sense today. This audiobook explores timeless spiritual questions through the lens of both scripture and the quantum world. Each chapter invites you to see faith not as mystery alone, but as a living force you can understand and use. 
    Redefining God and Belief 
    Early chapters guide you through a new way of thinking about God, not as a distant ruler but as the Master Force that holds all things together. You will explore what the Bible may really be saying, why “God allowed it” may not be the full truth, and how free will is the greatest gift we often forget to use. 
    Prayer, Miracles, and the Field 
    You will discover that prayer is not begging but broadcasting into the quantum field. Miracles are explained as resonance in motion, showing how your energy and intention connect with the world around you. The audiobook reveals how the field responds to belief and why divine control is more myth than reality. 
    Breaking Old Patterns of Fear 
    Chapters also address common struggles like the burden of spiritual abuse, the fear of Satan, and the weight of blame. You will learn that God is not watching to punish, but being within all. Forgiveness is not something you must earn, it is already given. 
    Living Quantum Faith 
    The final sections offer practical guidance. You will learn how to talk to God in fresh ways, raise your frequency, shape your world, and see scripture with new eyes. The book closes with affirmations to help you realign with God and remember the truth: the power has always been yours. 
    Quantum Faith. Find new answers. Live with new Power!

    The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our globalized food system and highlighted the desperate need for local and regional supplies of healthy meat. We must replace corn-based feedlots, which are responsible for significant climate emissions, nitrogen pollution, and animal suffering. Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World outlines a hopeful path out of our broken food system via regional networks of regeneratively produced meat. In 2017, Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger went to market with Big Picture Beef, a company that partners with farmers across the Northeast to increase access to wholesale markets while promoting holistic grazing management techniques. The result? Increased health benefits for consumers, the environment, and livestock. This book compiles information from the fields of ecology, climate science, nutrition, and animal welfare, along with on-the-farm stories from Ridge’s travels as a consultant all over the world. It reveals that regenerative grazing can restore degraded farmland, protect against droughts and floods, increase biodiversity, combat climate change by reducing emissions and sequestering carbon, contribute to regional economic development, and produce nutrient-dense meat for consumers. This book is for anyone wondering how our farmers and ranchers can raise cattle while also caring for the local and global environment. It includes a foreword by Gabe Brown, the bestselling author of Dirt to Soil.

    On Time Causality and the Block...

    May of us harbour deep questions on subjects such as the origin of the universe, the concepts of time and causality, the nature of consciousness and free will, the mind-body problems of philosophy, the relationship between mathematics and physics, and more. Conventional answers will usually be from fundamental physics (often deeply mathematical) or philosophy (often very abstract). This work takes a different view of reality by substituting mathematical determinism for causal determinism, thereby making it clear why mathematics so adequately describes our observations and measurements. It then deconstructs many aspects of experience - all of which taint our supposedly objective study of the universe - to see how they emerge from a timeless block universe. Subjects such as quantum theory, change, choice, probability, thermodynamics, and consciousness all have to be disassembled. The conclusion is consistent with both mathematics and experience, provides an answer that is immune from the question of 'first cause', and yet does not lead to further questions, albeit in an unexpected way.

    A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year 
     
    Although we seldom think of it, our lives are played out in a world of numbers. Such common activities as throwing baseballs, skipping rope, growing flowers, playing football, measuring savings accounts, and many others are inherently mathematical. So are more speculative problems that are simply fun to ponder in themselves—such as the best way to score Olympic events. 
     
    Here Robert Banks presents a wide range of musings, both practical and entertaining, that have intrigued him and others: How tall can one grow? Why do we get stuck in traffic? Which football player would have a better chance of breaking away—a small, speedy wide receiver or a huge, slow linebacker? Can California water shortages be alleviated by towing icebergs from Antarctica? What is the fastest the 100-meter dash will ever be run? 
     
    The book’s twenty-four concise chapters, each centered on a real-world phenomenon, show how math and simple reasoning together may produce elegant models that explain everything from the federal debt to the proper technique for ski-jumping.
