Sinopse

In "The Wood-Pigeons and Mary," Mrs. Molesworth deftly intertwines themes of nature and childhood innocence within a rich, pastoral setting. The narrative vividly illustrates the adventures of a young girl named Mary as she engages with the natural world around her, revealing both whimsical and profound observations about life. Molesworth'Äôs writing exhibits a fluid, lyrical style that recalls the Romantic tradition, yet her focus on the everyday experiences of children situates her work in the realm of Victorian literature, which often explored moral themes through the lens of youth. The inclusion of wood-pigeons serves as an evocative symbol of freedom and simplicity, enhancing the thematic depth of the novel. Mrs. Molesworth, a prominent figure in children's literature of the late 19th century, was known for her enchanting storytelling and her ability to draw from her energetic surroundings for inspiration. Having spent much of her life in pastoral settings, Molesworth was well-acquainted with the intricacies of nature, which influenced her portrayal of the natural world as both a playground and a teacher for children. This intimate relationship with the environment resonates throughout the narrative, reflecting her values as an observer and participant in the joys and trials of childhood. This charming tale is highly recommended for those seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while exploring the untouched curiosities of youth. Ideal for young readers and nostalgic adults alike, "The Wood-Pigeons and Mary" not only entertains but also captivates the mind with its gentle lessons and lyrical prose, promising a delightful escape into a world marked by simplicity and wonder.

    As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we've inured ourselves to the wild intelligence of our muscled flesh, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. This book subverts that distance, drawing listeners ever deeper into their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the body and the breathing Earth. 
     
     
      
    The shapeshifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in Abram's investigation. He shows that from the awakened perspective of the human animal, awareness (or mind) is not an exclusive possession of our species but a lucid quality of the biosphere itself—a quality in which we, along with the oaks and the spiders, steadily participate. 
     
     
      
    With the audacity of its vision and the luminosity of its prose, Becoming Animal sets a new benchmark for the human appraisal of our place in the whole.

    The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
     
     
      
    In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.

Try to keep a balance between their daily responsibilities and the things you like. If you take care of yourself, you will be better prepared to handle the challenges if, and when they arise. 
    Everyone is different, and not all things are equally beneficial for all people. Some people feel better just relaxing doing nothing while others need more activity and more excitement or stimulation to feel better. The most important thing is to find activities that you enjoy and that give you a boost. Do more exercises, spend more time in contact with nature and be with the people we love are the main activities that can be as effective as medication in treating a variety of mental illnesses, including depression and anxiety, according to a study at the University of California, USA. 
    This book before your eyes can initiate a change which you never paid attention before. It can open a door and illuminate dark corners that were previously unknown or ignored, and you made sure to forget. And many times these dark corners are the answers to questions you always looked for. 
    In this book we will talk about:What is Mental Health? What is its importance?Mental Health X EnvironmentMental Health X Physical HealthThe inner realityExploring self-knowledge

Hawking, who spent his life studying how black holes could help scientists better understand the universe’s beginnings, began compiling these answers in the year before his death from a personal archive of speeches, essays, and other musings he had delivered during his time as a scientist and public figure...
