Описание: Few books have had a greater impact than A Sand County Almanac, which many credit with launching a revolution in land management. Written as a series of sketches based principally upon the flora and fauna in a rural part of Wisconsin, the book, originally published by Oxford in 1949, gathers informal pieces written by Leopold over a forty-year period as he traveled through the woodlands of Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, Sonora, Oregon, Manitoba, and elsewhere; a final section addresses the philosophical issues involved in wildlife conservation. Beloved for its description and evocation of the natural world, Leopold's book, which has sold well over 2 million copies, remains a foundational text in environmental science and a national treasure.
Описание: After serving two and a half years as a stretcher-bearer on the Western Front, Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote that he would ""a thousand times rather be throwing grenades or handling a machine gun than be supernumerary as I am now."" Mobilized by military laws dating to 1889 and 1905 that opened the clergy's ranks to conscription and removed their exemption from combat, Teilhard and his fellow men of the cloth served France in the tens of thousands - and nearly half of them served in combat positions. Patriot Priests tells us how these men came to be at war and how their experiences transformed them and French society at large. The letters and diaries of these priests reveal how they adapted to the battlefields of World War I. Influenced by patriotic ideals of bravery, they went into the war hoping to make converts for the Catholic Church, which had long been marginalized by the Third Republic's secularizing policies. But through direct fraternal contact with their fellow soldiers, they came out with a sense of common identity and comradeship. Historian Anita Rasi May documents how these clergymen used their religious values of sacrifice to define the meaning of the war for themselves and for their comrades, even as the discipline of military life effectively transformed them from missionaries into soldiers. In turn, their courage and solicitous care for their fellow soldiers won them new respect and earned the Church renewed esteem in postwar French society. These clergymen's story, recounted here for the first time, elucidates a unique milestone of church-state relations in France. Their experiences - their hopes and fears, their struggles to reconcile their mission of peace with the demands of war, and their sense of belonging to France as well as to the Church - reveal a new perspective on the Great War.

Описание: How do you say "see you later" to your wife without bursting into tears moments before open heart surgery, knowing full well that this may be the last goodbye? How do you maintain positivity while getting hit again and again with bad news? One day before his wife's 43rd birthday, Aldo was diagnosed with colon cancer which required major surgery to rectify. One week later, he incidentally discovered that he also had some very dangerous heart issues. Aldo had a leaking aortic valve which needed replacing and a 6.7 cm ascending aortic aneurysm which needed repairing, via open heart surgery. He was immediately told to cease all strenuous activity, including his work. Aldo's Admissions tells the story of Aldo's experiences and personal thoughts over a ten-month time span while dealing with all the upsetting news he receives and his fight to stay alive. This book is for anybody who wonders how it feels to be told you have serious health issues which suddenly put your existence on this planet under threat. It is also for anybody who is seeking reassurance to continue fighting these issues. Please sit down, put on your seat belts and enjoy the roller coaster ride. This is Aldo's journey.
