Mindful by Nature
Connection to the natural world, to community, and to ourselves is fundamental to our well-being. When we nurture these connections, we thrive, drawing strength from the web of interdependence that sustains life. In an increasingly fragmented and urbanized world, accessing nature and knowing how to engage with it can be challenging. Mindful by Nature points the way, bridging nature connection and mindfulness practices.Through personal stories and nature studies, Tim Drake and Jason Hamilton inspire readers to discover their interconnectedness with Life. Guided practices offer ways to deepen sensory awareness, face challenges with compassion, and take wise action in our lives. Whether in urban or rural landscapes, readers are invited to engage with nature, cultivating a deep sense of belonging. The teachings emphasize accessibility and playfulness, encouraging readers to reconnect with the living world wherever they are.At its heart, this book is a call to dissolve the illusion that we are separate from nature. Mindful by Nature enables readers to rediscover the profound unity between themselves and the natural world and empowers us to become stewards of the Earth.

The Route of Columbus Along the North Coast of Haiti, and the Site of Navidad
Pathways Into the Study of Ancient Sciences
These essays offer a sampling of the incredible wealth of knowledge and expertise of David E. Pingree (1933-2005), Brown Univ. Professor of the History of Math. and Classics. His contributions to the history of science are immeasurable. Pingree defined science as "a systematic explanation of perceived or imaginary phenomena" "This broad view of science includes astronomy, mathematics, and other sciences with which we are familiar today as well as those subjects deemed nonscientific by today's standards, such as astrology and magic . . . ."[Pingree] repeatedly demonstrated that not only were each of these subjects worthy of study in their own right, but that in the Ancient and Medieval periods these fields were closely interconnected.

The Links Between Science, Philosophy, and Military Theory
This study examines the links between science, philosophy, and military theory. The author uses two case studies to demonstrate the links between these disciplines. He presents an overview on the rise of Newtonian science, and he examines how the key frameworks and concepts of that science became interwoven into Western civilization to affect its philosophy with an emphasis on its interpretation by the German Romanticist philosopher Immanuel Kant. He then shows how Newtonian science and Kant's philosophy affected the military theory of Carl von Clausewitz. His second case study concerns the theory and philosophy of evolution developed by British philosopher Herbert Spencer and its influence on the military theory of J. F.C. Fuller. The author compares these two case studies to find commonalities between them that suggest a mechanism which explains how and why scientific theory and their philosophical interpretations eventually influence military theory. The author then uses this mechanism as a tool with which "new" sciences such as quantum mechanics, relativity, and complexity theory can be evaluated to see if and in what manner they will affect future military theories. The main concept of this mechanism is that science and philosophy, both consciously and unconsciously, provide frameworks for investigation and systems of knowledge for the military theorist. Finally, this study suggests that new definitions of the concepts of force, space, time, and knowledge will have an influence on future military theory. The shift from the Newtonian framework of cause and effect determinism to the new science concept of probabilities and trends-as well as the shift from the force of heavy mechanics to the new particle wave theories of force-will change man's concept of the battlefield, emphasizing the capability for rapid observation and action.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
