Summary

In 'A Year in the Fields' by John Burroughs, the reader is taken on a journey through the changing seasons in the countryside, where the author closely observes and reflects upon the natural world. Burroughs's writing style is descriptive and contemplative, capturing the beauty of the outdoors in vivid detail. The book falls within the genre of nature writing, a literary tradition that emphasizes the relationship between humans and the environment. Through his observations, Burroughs invites readers to consider their own connection to nature and the importance of preserving the natural world. The book is a wonderful example of how literature can inspire a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the earth. John Burroughs, a renowned naturalist and essayist, drew inspiration from his personal experiences in the natural world. His passion for nature and keen powers of observation are evident in 'A Year in the Fields', making him a respected figure in the field of nature writing. Burroughs's work continues to influence contemporary environmental writers and thinkers. I highly recommend 'A Year in the Fields' to readers who enjoy lyrical prose and engaging with themes of nature and conservation. Burroughs's reflections on the changing seasons offer a refreshing perspective on the beauty of the natural world, making this book a timeless and enriching read.

    “I personally led the Coast Guard boat rescue operation in the wake of hurricane Katrina . . . the largest and most successful rescue operation in American history. This book is the story of the Coast Guard rescue operation in the flooded city of New Orleans and the surrounding area after Hurricane Katrina, but it’s much more than that.”             —Capt. Robert G. Mueller, U.S. Coast Guard (ret.)   With disaster scenarios of increasing interest and disaster preparedness paramount importance, it’s time to take a deeper look at what went very right before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina. Unlike the woefully unprepared civilian population, the Coast Guard was staged and ready. The unprecedented surface rescue put into action under Capt. Mueller and RADM Castillo took place with little fanfare, and saved the lives of 25,000 people by boat and 8,500 by helicopter.

    Professor Betsey Dexter Dyer examines the wideranging field of genetics, which is the study of the hereditary information of organisms, how it is used, and how it is transferred through generations. These fascinating lectures also address DNA sequences and how they apply to "genetic engineering," viruses, and genetic diseases such as cancers and birth defects. In addition to examining why people look and act the way they do, the course also considers the philosophical issues associated with such controversial topics as cloning and genetic ID cards.

    This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
 
 
 
The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.

    There’s nothing quite like sitting by a cozy fire gazing into the vast expanse of night sky. This recording will transport you to that magical place by the campfire with open skies right above you. Hearing that distinctive crackling sound of campfire really can help you relax. Campfire played crucial role in human evolution providing both comfort and shelter from wild animals. Recent research further showed calming effects of campfire sounds through reduction of blood pressure by hearing crackling sounds of campfire alone. This audio recording offers continuous campfire crackling against natural background of night time skyline. Gentle crickets and sounds of night animals will accompany this warming sound of campfire.
