Thousands of religions have adherents today, and countless more have existed throughout history. What accounts for this astonishing diversity? This extraordinarily ambitious and comprehensive book demonstrates how evolutionary systematics and philosophy can yield new insight into the development of organized religion. Lance Grande—a leading evolutionary systematist—examines the growth and diversification of hundreds of religions over time, highlighting their historical interrelationships.

In this groundbreaking book, Nature Evolutionary and Earth Elder Pam Montgomery draws on her decades of working with plants and Nature consciousness to demonstrate that we are intrinsically created to be in relationship with Nature. She examines the co-opting of time, language, and culture to shed light on the roots of our separation, weaving together contemporary research on human physiology with personal experience.

Throughout history, two perspectives on the world have dueled in our minds: the extrinsic—that of mechanism and physics—and the intrinsic—that of feelings, thoughts, and ideas. The intrinsic perspective allows us to tell stories about our lives, to chart our anger and our lust, to understand our psychologies. The extrinsic allows us to chart the physical world, to build upon it, and to travel across it. These perspectives have never been reconciled; they almost seem to exist on different planes of thought.

In this episode Rob Fickett sits down with teammate Dana Valleau and friends Sheila, Steve and son Evan. We highlight a milestone moment for a hunting family deeply rooted in tradition. After years of tagging along and learning the ropes, the son finally draws his own tag—and makes it count with an unforgettable 2024 bull: a massive 58-incher. We dive into the family’s journey, the story behind the hunt, and what it means to pass down a legacy of hard work, respect for the outdoors, and unforgettable memories. This one’s about more than inches—it’s about tradition, family, and a hunt...

Late one night, last summer, tonight’s guest was walking with his father, on the outskirts of a small, North Dakota town, late one night, when they had their first Dogman encounter together. As surprising as it might seem, that wasn’t going to be a one and done experience for them. They would have another one together and his father would go on to have another one, by himself. Due to tonight’s eyewitness being so young, his mother will be joining him to help connect the dots and fill in. We hope you’ll join us for this special, July 4th episode of the show, so you can hear what ...

We humans have a complicated relationship with the dark. We fear it, and make great efforts to blot it out. But we also long for it, especially if we live in cities, or remember the starry skies of our childhoods. Darkness opens us up to risk, delight and transformation. Is it possible to prise it free of its negative associations, which are as old as human thought itself? Drawing on memory and imagination, history and ecology, literature and myth, Night Vision is an expansive, thrilling journey into the true dark.

The ACLS algorithms are designed to make it easier to remember the key interventions we should deliver, and the order in which they should be delivered, to provide the best evidence-based care possible.Generally speaking, if there’s a change in a patient’s condition, we should ensure we’re using the correct algorithm.Three key points to remember when using ACLS algorithms:1. If a patient’s condition changes, we should do an assessment and use the algorithm that matches the patient’s current state.2. If an action was already done, we don’t need to repeat it.3. We only do ...

How Flowers Made Our World combines lyrical writing, sensual exploration, and scientific expertise to explore some of the most consequential life forms ever to have evolved, showing how our planet came to be and how it thrives today.

In Original Sin, Kathryn Paige Harden weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife, and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other—or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete?

Estripar la terra exposa les mentides del món rural i fa una reflexió de la percepció enganyosa que tenim del nostre entorn.

The world at the moment is not a very safe place to be in. We still have the war in Ukraine and Russia and we don't know how that is going to pan out. Some people in high places are talking up a nuclear exchange where as I think others have calmer heads and I hope they will prevail. But what is most likely going to affect us is the world is running out of energy, food, fertilizer and in some places water. In other words everything we need for civilization to survive and get ahead seems to be in short supply. And the time frame for this to start affecting us is not too far in the future. We ...

Wir stellen uns Bäume als eine passive Spezies vor, die an einen Ort gebunden ist, dabei gestalten sie ihre Umwelt aktiv. Sie zerkleinern Felsen, verbreitern die Küsten, vergiften gezielt Tiere, kontrollieren Wasserkreisläufe und lösen sogar Waldbrände aus. Seit prähistorischen Zeiten beeinflussen Bäume so ganze Ökosysteme, das Klima und schließlich auch uns Menschen maßgeblich. Die britische Biochemikerin und Journalistin Harriet Rix nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Weltreise zu Wäldern in Kalifornien, Syrien, Brasilien, im Himalaya, oder auf La Gomera.
