Sinossi

In "The Hills of Hingham," Dallas Lore Sharp presents a vivid tableau of rural New England life, skillfully weaving together personal anecdotes and observations with rich descriptions of the natural landscape. Sharp's lyrical prose is steeped in a genuine appreciation for the hills, trees, and wildlife that inhabit Hingham, effectively capturing the essence of a simpler, pastoral existence. The text not only serves as an intimate reflection of the author's experiences but also contextualizes them within the broader American literary tradition of nature writing, reminiscent of Thoreau and Muir, as it resonates with themes of conservation and the human connection to nature. Dallas Lore Sharp, an influential figure in early 20th-century nature writing, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in Massachusetts. His experiences as a teacher and naturalist informed his desire to articulate the beauty of his surroundings, shedding light on the intricate balance between humanity and the natural world. His dedication to environmentalism is imbued throughout the narrative, aiming to foster a reverence for the landscapes that shaped him. For readers who yearn for an evocative journey into the heart of the New England wilderness, "The Hills of Hingham" is an outstanding choice. Sharp's work not only entertains but also invites contemplation of our relationship with nature, making it a timeless read for anyone seeking solace and inspiration in the great outdoors.

A Rare Recording of...

Carl Sagan

Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 - December 20, 1996), born in Brooklyn, NY, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist. His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light. He assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, which were universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. The following is a lecture Sagan gave in 1977 during which he discussed the place, scale and geometry of earth--the third planet from the Sun, formed 4.5 billion years ago--in our solar system.

Chronicles of Canada Volume 08 -...

William Wood

Louisbourg was no mere isolated stronghold which could be lost or won without affecting the wider issues of oversea dominion. On the contrary, it was a necessary link in the chain of waterside posts which connected France with America by way of the Atlantic, the St Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi. But since the chain itself and all its other links, and even the peculiar relation of Louisbourg to the Acadians and the Conquest, have been fully described elsewhere in the Chronicles of Canada, the present volume only tries to tell the purely individual tale.

Sick Business - The Truth Behind...

Dr Sumanth C. Raman

A gripping expose of the murky underbelly of the Indian healthcare system 
 
95 per cent of healthcare facilities have less than five workers 
30 million people are pushed into poverty by healthcare costs 
9 lakh C-sections are preventable 
7.04 lakh children under the age of five die of pneumonia and diarrhoea every year 
For Dr Sumanth C. Raman, the numbers don't lie. Decades of witnessing the inner workings of India's healthcare industry first-hand have given him ample reason to question and challenge it. 
In Sick Business, through personal accounts of patients, interviews with doctors and other medical professionals, and numerous reports, he unveils a chilling portrait of a healthcare system marred by vested interests, shady research, lax State intent, questionable ethics and general disarray. Overburdened public hospitals, expensive private healthcare, a rampant culture of quacks, the nexus between big pharma and doctors, a silent epidemic of surgeries and over-diagnosis-the book deals with such burning topics and more as it uncovers the truth behind the pristine façade of hospitals and the doctors who work within. 
Sick Business is a clarion call for reform and change. A gripping expose, in the end the book equips you with some real answers and the tough questions you need to ask when your family's health-and perhaps your own-is at stake.

Praying for the Earth -...

Rob Kelsey

Prayers for the environment are often missing from the intercessions in church on a Sunday morning, perhaps because we struggle to find the right words. Praying for the Earth is a resource for congregations and for individual Christians who believe that environmental concerns should be an integral part of the public and private prayers of all Christian people.

 
The book is intended to be used as a supplement to the prayers of intercession in church on Sunday, and by individuals in their private prayers, so that praying for the earth becomes an “ordinary” part of our spiritual and daily life, rather than something that happens on a special occasion.


 
The book may be used by those who lead intercessions in public worship, by groups of Christians whenever they pray together, and by individual Christians in their personal prayers.  The prayers may be used unchanged, or adapted, or as an inspiration for praying in one’s own words.
