Download or read book Curious about Nature written by Tim Burt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notwithstanding the importance of modern technology, fieldwork remains vital, not least through helping to inspire and educate the next generation. Fieldwork has the ingredients of intellectual curiosity, passion, rigour and engagement with the outdoor world - to name just a few. You may be simply noting what you see around you, making detailed records, or carrying out an experiment; all of this and much more amounts to fieldwork. Being curious, you think about the world around you, and through patient observation develop and test ideas. Forty contributors capture the excitement and importance of fieldwork through a wide variety of examples, from urban graffiti to the Great Barrier Reef. Outdoor learning is for life: people have the greatest respect and care for their world when they have first-hand experience of it. The Editors are donating all royalties due to them to the environmental charity, The Field Studies Council, to support student fieldwork at the Council's field centres.

Download or read book Ripples on a Global Pond written by Christa F. De Vries and published by Authorhouse UK. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emigration is a psychological process of transitional change. It filters through everything, ripples across your world - often a devastating experience, but also a soul-searching journey where you may find that your destination does not necessarily lie in the city in which you will have arrived, but at a place much more personal, somewhere deep within you. This unique, timely and thought-provoking book looks at what and why emigration works for some, but not for others. It highlights the meaning of your endless yearning for loved ones back home, the intensity of loss experienced on various levels of your life, and the interaction between the different cycles, with their unique phases that run parallel, overlap, lapse and relapse. There are your own developmental phases, those of your family members individually, those of families as units going through their own cycles of development and change, and those of the family who had to stay behind. How do these different, but so similar, entities come together in the emigration melting pot, especially when you are exposed to the impact of culture shock? The book explains the link between the psychological, neurological and immunological aspects when you experience the intensity of emigration stress and its impact on you. It helps you to identify those issues beneath the surface that you have never realized exist, and you learn how to cope in order to make it work in the new country. You will understand the powerful role of social, emotional and spiritual intelligence in shaping your new life. It suggests new and effective ways of coping and it motivates you towards greater understanding of living as being a mindset. A powerful book for the emigrant, his/her family back home, and the professional alike - comprehensively written by Christa de Vries, an immigrant and professional herself.

Book excerpt: To anyone else this little plot of land probably looks like a dull Kansas hillside: A grass covered hill, a mossy pond, a grove of tangled, old Osage Orange trees, and a small meadow full of weeds. But the land called to me like an old friend with a delectable secret to share. I was meant to live here even if it was a totally illogical purchase... Thus begins a lyrical journey to a neglected piece of land in northeastern Kansas. A Still Place is filled with hauntingly poetic descriptions of the plants and creatures inhabiting one hill that changed author Nancy Lankston's life. Lankston observes and explores the land, sharing how it shifts and changes with each passing season. She describes her own growing sense of joy at living with wildflowers and weeds instead of the perfect garden and manicured lawn. Lankston shares her sense of wonder at the sight of butterflies making trees dance and stars stretching across the night sky, blanketing the hill in dark mystery. She revels in her son's adventures as 'king" of one little hill. Lankston's essays touch that still place in us all that responds to the magic of the natural world.
