Book excerpt: A titanic figure in the scientific community, Alexander von Humboldt's contribution in the realms of geography, botany and philosophy cannot be overstated. Born in Berlin in 1769, the son of a Prussian minister, he traveled in four continents, wrote at least 36 books and 25,000 letters throughout his long and adventurous life. Known to sleep just four hours a night, and down coffee by the pint, Humboldt's boundless energy and enthusiasm were at times invigorating, at times trying for his travel companions. Yet so great were his contributions viewed that he has numerous plants, animals, geological features, astronomical features, schools and places named after him to this day. His approach to scientific exploration and observation inspired other notables such as Charles Darwin, Henry David Thoreau and John Muir.In Volume 1 of his Personal Narrative, Humboldt offers a firsthand account of histravels with French explorer and botanist Aimé Bonpland in the Americas."The most dangerous worldviews are the worldviews of those who have never viewed the world."― Alexander von Humboldt

Excerpt: ...which is considered to be higher than the mountain of the Brigantine, so well knovm by the sailors who frequent the coasts of Cumana. We measured, by angles of elevation, and a basis, rather short, traced on the round summit, the peak of Cucurucho, which was about 350 toises higher than our station, so that its abolute height exceeded 1050 toises. The view we enjoyed on the Turimiquiri is of vast extent, and highly picturesque. From the summit to the ocean we perceived chains of mountains extended in parallel lines from east to west, and bounding longitudinal valleys. These valleys are intersected at right angles by an infinite number of small ravines, scooped out by the torrents: the consequence i, that the lateral ranges are transformed into so many rows of paps, some round and others pyramidal. The ground in general is a gentle slope as far as the Imposible; farther on the precipices become bold, and continue so to the shore of the gulf of Cariaco. The form of this mass of mountains reminded us of the chain of the J ura; and the only plain that presents itself is the valley of Cumanacoa. We seemed to look down into the bottom of a funnel, in which we could distinguish, amidst tufts of scattered trees, the Indian village of Aricagua. Towards the north, a narrow slip of land, the eninsula of Araya, formed a dark stripe on the sea, which, being illumined by the rays of the sun, reflected a stro light. Beyond the peninsula the horizon was bounde, by Cape Macanao, the black rocks of which rise amid the waters like an immense bastion. The farm of the Cocollar, situated at the foot of the Turimiquiri, is in latitude 19 9' 32." I found the dip of the needle 42'1. The needle oscillates 229 times in ten minutes. Possibly masses of brown...

Book excerpt: Drawing on findings from leading health researchers as well as conversations with both chemical and organic farmers from coast to coast, Maria Rodale's Organic Manifesto irrefutably outlines the unacceptably high cost of chemical farming on our health and our environment. She traces the genesis of chemical farming and the rise of the immense companies that profit from it, bringing to light the government's role in allowing such practices to flourish. She further explains that modern organic farming would not only help reverse climate change by reducing harmful carbon emissions and soil depletion, but would also improve the quality of the food we eat, reduce diseases from asthma to cancer, and ensure a better quality of life in farming communities nationwide. For every parent wondering how best to safeguard the health and safety of her children; for every environmentalist in search of a solution to the worsening crisis that afflicts our land, air, and waters; for every shopper who questions whether it is worth it to pay more for organic, Maria Rodale offers straightforward answers and a single, definitive course of action: We must demand organic now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geological Society of London was founded in 1807. At the time, membership was restricted to men, many of whom became well-known names in the history of the geological sciences. On the 21 May 1919, the first female Fellows were elected to the Society, 112 years after its formation. This text celebrates the centenary of that important event. In doing so it presents the often untold stories of pioneering women geoscientists from across the world who navigated male-dominated academia and learned societies, experienced the harsh realities of Siberian field-exploration, or responded to the strategic necessity of the 'petroleum girls' in early American oil exploration and production. It uncovers important female role models in the history of science, and investigates why not all of these women received due recognition from their contemporaries and peers.
