Sinopse

In "Wild Life Near Home," Dallas Lore Sharp presents an evocative exploration of the natural world, framed through an intimate lens of suburban life. This collection of essays delicately intertwines observation and reflection, revealing the profound connections between humans and the flora and fauna that inhabit our proximity. Sharp's vivid prose and keen attention to detail evoke a poetic sense of wonder, inviting readers to rethink their environment and appreciate the uncelebrated wildlife that often goes unnoticed. His work also serves as a commentary on the growing disconnection between urban life and nature, echoing early 20th-century movements in conservation and environmental awareness. Dallas Lore Sharp, an esteemed naturalist and educator, was deeply influenced by his childhood experiences in the rural landscapes of New England. His passion for the environment was further cultivated by his academic background in literature and the sciences, allowing him to articulate complex ecological themes with clarity and enthusiasm. Sharp'Äôs dedication to nature conservation and education resonates throughout his writing, motivating him to bridge the gap between human society and the natural world. "Wild Life Near Home" is not just a book; it is an essential guide for anyone yearning to reconnect with nature in an increasingly urbanized world. It stands as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of our surroundings, making it a must-read for nature enthusiasts, educators, and anyone seeking to cultivate a mindful relationship with the wildlife that shares our home.

    A “pioneering” physicist “shows how quantum reasoning may resolve deep mysteries, including the nature of God [and] evolution” (Beverly Rubik, PhD, Biophysicist, Institute for Frontier Science, Adjunct Professor, Saybrook). 
     
    Move over, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens—a highly regarded nuclear physicist enters the debate about the existence of God—and comes down on the side of the angels. Goswami’s hypothesis is that quantum physics holds the key to all the unsolved mysteries of biology—the nature and origin of life, fossil gaps of evolution, why evolution proceeds from simple to complex, and why biological beings have feeling and consciousness. 
     
    In God is Not Dead, Goswami moves beyond theory and shows how a God-based science puts ethics and values where it belongs: at the center of our lives and societies. He provides a scientific model that steers between scientific materialism and religious fundamentalism; a model that has implications for how we live both individually and collectively. 
     
    God is Not Dead is a fascinating tour of quantum physics, consciousness, and the existence and experience of God.
