Science and the Modern World refashions Whiteheads 1925 Lowell Lectures into a synoptic history and critique of modern science from the medieval synthesis through Galileo and Newton to Einstein. Against reductive materialism, it exposes the fallacy of misplaced concreteness and advances a philosophy of organism in which nature is a nexus of events and values. Historical narrative and speculative argument interweave, seeking categories that make sense of physics, biology, aesthetics, and religion. Composed amid relativity and early quantum theory, its poised prose widens sciences cultural horizon. A mathematician turned philosopher, Whitehead coauthored Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell and taught applied mathematics in London before joining Harvard. Intimate with dynamics and gravitational theory, and chastened by postwar disillusion with nineteenth-century mechanism, he sought concepts adequate to process, novelty, and value. The American pragmatist milieu and the public stage of the Lowell Lectures spurred his attempt to reconcile scientific practice with a non-reductive cosmology. This classic rewards scientists attuned to conceptual foundations, philosophers and historians of science, and humanists probing modernity. Read it for a rigorous, humane vision that restores depth to inquiry without sacrificing empirical exactitude.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

THE LAST OF THE PLAINSMEN recounts Zane Greys expedition with the game warden "Buffalo" Jones across the ArizonaUtah plateau, from the Kaibab forests to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. A hybrid of travelogue, natural history, and adventure reportage, it tracks cougar hunts, rare bison, desert storms, and settlements at the edge of empire. Greys vivid, sometimes purple prose is balanced by field observation, placing the book at the hinge between dimenovel romance, documentary realism, and ProgressiveEra conservation. Grey, an Ohioborn dentist turned novelist and ardent outdoorsman, pursued authenticity through direct experience. Traveling with C. J. "Buffalo" Jones gave him access to techniques of roping predators alive and to Rooseveltera ideas about preservation. The journey furnished notebooks and scenes later refined in Riders of the Purple Sage. Readers of Western history, environmental studies, and narrative nonfiction will find this an invaluable, if morally conflicted, document. Approach its portrayals of wildlife and Indigenous peoples critically, yet savor its canyon vistas and kinetic chases. As frontier elegy and genre seedbed, THE LAST OF THE PLAINSMEN remains bracing and essential.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

In The Mountains of California, John Muir fuses lyrical reverie with scrupulous natural history to chart the Sierra Nevadas glaciers, forests, cascades, and high meadows. In late nineteenthcentury American nature writings Emersonian current, he advances a glacial account of Yosemite while recording flora, fauna, weather, and rock with exacting taxonomy. The original illustrations extend his itineraries and anchor the books vivid, field-born essays. MuirScottish-born immigrant, itinerant inventor, and later Sierra Club cofounderdrew these chapters from seasons of herding, botanizing, and snow-camping in the high country between 1869 and the early 1870s; the book appeared in 1894. An eye injury, a thousand-mile walk, and settlement in California refined his vocation for attentive wandering. Journals, lectures, and geological debate converge here, shaping a conservation ethic grounded in minute empirical seeing. This edition rewards readers of environmental history, geology, and American letters as well as hikers seeking a field companion. It offers a lucid synthesis of science and rapture, and, with its period plates, a portal into the formative imagination behind Americas national parks.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

A Shepherds Life: Impressions of the South Wiltshire Downs is Hudsons deeply textured portrait of a shepherding community centered on the figure of Caleb Bawcombe, rendered through episodic scenes of work, festivity, and hardship across the seasons. Combining oral biography with natural history, Hudsons prose is limpid yet exact, attentive to chalkland light, birdsong, and the craft of dogs and men. Set on the Salisbury Plain at the edge of Edwardian change, the book extends the English pastoral from Jefferies and Hardy into an ethnography of a vanishing economy. Born on the Argentine pampas, Hudson brought to England a lifelong habit of watchful wandering and an outsiders sympathy for open country. A self-taught ornithologist and celebrated nature writer, he tramped the Wiltshire downs gathering life histories from shepherds, sedimenting memory with field observation. Alarmed by enclosure, militarization, and mechanization, he shaped these interviews into a conserving art, preserving dialect, custom, and ecological knowledge before modernization effaced them. This book rewards readers of nature writing, social historians, and ecocritical scholars alike. Read it for its patient craft and humane intelligence: a luminous record of pre-mechanized husbandry and a masterclass in listening to place as carefully as to people.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Drawn from Muirs 1869 Sierra Nevada journal, My First Summer in the Sierra recounts a season of shepherding transformed into field science. In compressed daily entries, lyrical yet exact, he maps meadows, sequoias, granite domes, and the glacial architecture of Yosemite and the high country. Emersonian cadences meet taxonomic precision, placing the book within latenineteenthcentury American nature writing and early ecological thought. Original drawings and period photographs intensify the immediacy, echoing the textures the prose anatomizes. Scottish-born in 1838 and raised on a Wisconsin farm, Muir trained as an inventor until a blinding 1867 injury redirected him to long foot travels and natural study. Self-taught yet rigorous, he advanced Sierra glacial theory, co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892, and shaped park policy. A Calvinist upbringing gives the journal a sacramental register that fuses observation with praise. Readers of Thoreau and environmental history alike will find here both a primer in mountain ecology and a landmark of American prose. For hikers, teachers, and conservationists, the text and images model attentive seeing and the roots of preservationist ethics. Read slowly; let Muir instruct your gaze.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Entre a Lama e as Estrelas, uma Sinfonia da Alma Gaúcha" Neste livro, a poesia é um rio que arrasta consigo histórias de dor e esperança. Das enchentes que engoliram casas e memórias no Vale do Taquari a saga mitologica das almas gemeas em busca de redenço, *Harpa Cosmica* e um mosaico de vozes: mes que protegem filhos em abrigos improvisados, cavalos que resistem em telhados submersos, amores que transcendem seculos. Com versos que ecoam a grandiosidade de Cames e a crueza de Aluisio Azevedo, O autor tece uma narrativa epica sobre a hybris humana e a força da natureza. Aqui, a filosofia estoica dialoga com a espiritualidade de Chico Xavier, e a reconstruço de Porto Alegre torna-se metafora da cura interior.
