The Solvay Science Project and the First Quantum Revolution
This book presents a historical reconstruction of the first quantum revolution, from the first Solvay meeting (1911) to the fifth Physics Council (1927). The reader is guided through a journey to discover how a project envisioned by Ernest Solvay - the Solvay Science Project - contributed to this process.The authors investigate two of its main aspects: the five Physics Councils chaired by H A Lorentz and the subsidy programme of the International Solvay Institute of Physics (ISIP). Special attention is given to a point that escaped the attention of most science historians: how Solvay subsidies, granted by an International Committee, contributed to the validation of Bohr's atomic theory, one of the most significant steps in the quantum revolution. More than ten beneficiaries of Solvay grants were named by Bohr in his Rutherford Memorial Lecture; six were awarded a Nobel Prize.The book contains a detailed analysis of the steps taken by ISIP's Scientific Committee to prepare the Councils that marked the transition from classical to quantum physics. Emphasis is placed on the information provided by X-ray research and by C T R Wilson's cloud chamber, two elements that paved the way to a recognition of the dual nature of light and matter, a fundamental characteristic of the quantum world.

Lying With Sunflowers
This is a beautiful little poetry book on love of humanity, love of animals and love of nature. It is tribute to the resilience of the human psyche when faced with seemingly insurmountable moments of grief and sorrow and it is salve for the soul of those who love deeply and feel an unbreakable connection with humanity in general. Greg has seen so much sorrow in his days of doctoring in intensive care and he has also seen the exhilaration and gratitude when a patient rebounds and recovers almost miraculously. This depth of feeling is woven throughout the poems in this beautiful little book of soul.

The Possibility of Tenderness
Finalist for the 2025 Wainwright Prize in Nature Writing"Extraordinary . . . Surprising at every turn and rewarding in ways you never expect."--Marlon James"An extraordinary, necessary book from a brilliant writer. A new song of the earth."--Robert MacfarlaneFrom an exciting new voice in international literature, a profoundly moving memoir that explores the Black experience in the natural world and the transformative power of plants.Jason Allen-Paisant grew up in the May Day Mountains of Jamaica. The cycles of his boyhood revolved around tending the plots of cabbage, tomatoes, and yams dotting the clay hillsides; playing beneath the cavernous roots of cotton trees; and climbing trunks of the fruit trees that fed him and his grandmother. But as a student of the literature of colonial England, in which the landscape of heather and moors has long been thought of as ideal, these years of subsistence and community evoked more shame than pride, and a language for the natural world that surrounded him remained elusive.Years after leaving the island to attend university in England, and eventually achieving a position as a lecturer in Leeds, he finds himself "alienated from land, from planting, from watching things grow." Walking among the trees in Yorkshire, he wonders how his own body will be perceived and can't help but think of the epidemic of anti-Black violence across the Western world. He returns to Jamaica and the intimate archives of knowledge in his late grandmother's grung, determined to reclaim his cultural inheritance, and ultimately to rediscover a "second life of seeing," based on old ways of knowing."A beautiful and urgent work of productive experimentation and philosophical reckoning" (Kwame Dawes), The Possibility of Tenderness is a book for our time.

Natural History of the World
A stunning look at Earth's wildlife and natural history, including rocks, minerals, animals, plants, fungi and more! Arranged by climatic conditions and habitats, Natural History of the World offers a broad overview of the most important animals and vegetation in each region. These areas help us understand the ranges of plants and animals, including identifying species that may be under threat from habitat loss. Climate zones can even help farmers and gardeners understand which plants will grow best in their area. From the arid, desolate Sahara, the largest hot desert in the world where temperatures can exceed 40簞C (100簞F), to Macap獺 in Brazil where the tropical monsoon climate means over six months of rain from December to July every year, marvel at the beauty and variety that exists on our planet and has done so for millions of years. Striking imagery is accompanied with easy-to-read, accessible information, making it a riveting, essential history. Natural History of the World is an explorative, pictorial guide to every environment on the planet and how nature has evolved to live there, ranging from the Mesozoic Era to the present day.
From Plato's Academy to Snellman College
This booklet reflects on the unique role of General Studies (studium generalia or studium fundamentale) within the curriculum of Snellman College, a Waldorf-Steiner oriented higher education institution in Helsinki, Finland. Tracing the historical and philosophical roots of these general studies, the author situates Snellman College in the broader continuum of perennial universitas thinking and highlights the college's distinct educational mission, which diverges from both university and vocational training models in contemporary Finland.

Forest Sovereignty
"Forest Sovereignty is a startling new book reconsidering our relationship to nature. Tague has written a nonfiction version of Richard Powers's novel The Overstory. His careful, confident textual dismantling of the liberal-conventional account of private property gives way to something more elemental. Tague speaks for the trees." - Clayton Shoppa, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Philosophy, St. Francis College "Forest Sovereignty rereads political philosophy from Hobbes to Marx to advance an incisive theory of forest freedom recognizing the mutualistic self-governance of fungi, flora, and fauna. Passionately argued, the book issues a timely call for preserving and expanding the planet's remaining great forests while radically greening humankind's increasingly urban future." - John C. Ryan, Ph.D., Nulungu Institute, University of Notre Dame, Australia The book examines plants, animals, and political philosophy in a claim for a forest state of Gaia. It argues that humans should set aside and leave to their growth vast tracts of forests, wetlands, and grasslands. Biologists surmise that immense and undisturbed interlocking networks of forests, wetlands, grasslands, seas, oceans, etc. constitute a thermodynamic system of atmospheric integrity maintaining environmental health. Modern human mechanical intrusion into nature's realm has upset planetary homeostasis. One path to reestablishing climate fitness would not only be to preserve what remains but also to rewild additional forest, wetland, and grassland areas. There's an ethical claim in saying forests have incalculable value because their intrinsic qualities of growth, metamorphosis, and decay are instrumental in creating and maintaining healthy ecosystems that constitute earth's biosphere.
