DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Curiosity is a gripping, poignant, and thoroughly original thriller that raises disturbing questions about the very nature of life and humanity—man as a scientific subject, as a tabloid plaything, as a living being, as a curiosity.… Dr. Kate Philo and her scientific exploration team make a breathtaking discovery in the Arctic: the body of a man buried deep in the ice. Remarkably, the frozen man is brought back to the lab and successfully reanimated. As the man begins to regain his memories, the team learns that he was—is—a judge, Jeremiah Rice, and the last thing he remembers is falling overboard into the Arctic Ocean in 1906. Thrown together by circumstances beyond their control, Kate and Jeremiah grow closer. But the clock is ticking and Jeremiah’s new life is slipping away...and all too soon, Kate must decide how far she is willing to go to protect the man she has come to love.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKColonial America presented a new world of natural curiosities for settlers as well as the London-based scientific community. In American Curiosity, Susan Scott Parrish examines how various peoples in the British colonies understood and represented the natural world around them from the late sixteenth century through the eighteenth. Parrish shows how scientific knowledge about America, rather than flowing strictly from metropole to colony, emerged from a horizontal exchange of information across the Atlantic. Delving into an understudied archive of letters, Parrish uncovers early descriptions of American natural phenomena as well as clues to how people in the colonies construed their own identities through the natural world. Although hierarchies of gender, class, institutional learning, place of birth or residence, and race persisted within the natural history community, the contributions of any participant were considered valuable as long as they supplied novel data or specimens from the American side of the Atlantic. Thus Anglo-American nonelites, women, Indians, and enslaved Africans all played crucial roles in gathering and relaying new information to Europe. Recognizing a significant tradition of nature writing and representation in North America well before the Transcendentalists, American Curiosity also enlarges our notions of the scientific Enlightenment by looking beyond European centers to find a socially inclusive American base to a true transatlantic expansion of knowledge.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWriting New Worlds analyses the different ways in which travel literature constituted a fundamental pillar in the production of knowledge in the modern era. The impressive frequency of publication and the widespread circulation of translations and editions account for the leading and essential contribution of travel literature for a better understanding and awareness about the dynamics and practices associated with decoding and making sense of the prose of the world. These texts, in some cases accompanied by illustrations, covered a broad and extensive panoply of languages, grammars and ways of seeing, translating and writing new worlds. In drawing special attention to internationally less-studied sources from Portugal and Germany, the book shows how authors, scholars and artists between the 15th and 17th centuries responded to the challenges of modernity, and explores the cultural dynamics involved in grasping and understanding the New.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWelcome to “Developing Scientific Temper: Unleashing the Curiosity within.” In a world overflowing with information and constantly evolving technologies, fostering scientific temper is more crucial than ever. As we embark on this enlightening journey, we explore the essence of curiosity and its powerful role in nurturing a scientific mindset. The quest for knowledge and understanding has been an innate part of human nature since time immemorial. Curiosity, the unyielding thirst for answers, has driven countless breakthroughs in science, shaping our understanding of the universe and ourselves. It is this innate curiosity that compels us to question, to explore, and to push the boundaries of what we know. In today’s dynamic and interconnected world, where misinformation can spread like wildfire, cultivating scientific temper becomes a beacon of light in the midst of confusion. By adopting a scientific approach, we can decipher fact from fiction, challenge our biases, and make informed decisions that shape our collective future. This book delves into the multifaceted nature of developing scientific temper. It provides insights into the historical achievements of scientists, visionaries, and thinkers who revolutionized the way we perceive reality. By understanding the foundations of scientific reasoning, we lay the groundwork for nurturing our innate curiosity and unleashing its full potential. Throughout these pages, we will explore the art of questioning, the marvel of critical thinking, and the beauty of empirical evidence. We will emphasize the importance of humility in accepting that our current understanding is limited and that every discovery is a stepping stone toward greater knowledge. Moreover, “Developing Scientific Temper: Unleashing the Curiosity Within” is not solely intended for those pursuing formal scientific disciplines. Instead, it is an invitation to all curious minds, regardless of their background, to embark on a journey of exploration and intellectual growth. As we navigate through various topics, we encourage you to engage actively with the content. Question the ideas presented, challenge your assumptions, and seek to expand your understanding. Remember that knowledge is not confined to one’s individual pursuits but rather an interconnected web that enriches all aspects of life. Our collective future hinges upon the ability to approach challenges with an open mind, to learn from our mistakes, and to embrace uncertainty as a stepping stone toward discovery. Developing scientific temper empowers us to bridge gaps, celebrate diversity, and work collaboratively for a brighter tomorrow. So, let us embark on this transformative expedition together, driven by the insatiable curiosity that resides within us all. As we unlock the true potential of our inquisitive nature, we will uncover the boundless wonders that await us, and in doing so, pave the way for a more enlightened and harmonious world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIan Wallace, one of Canada’s best-known children’s book creators, invites us to look inside his cabinet of curiosities, which contains treasures from his decades of traveling the country from sea to sea to sea, sharing stories with young readers. Over the past forty years, Ian Wallace has made thousands of school and library visits in tiny communities, towns and huge cities all across this land. Some of these visits have inspired young readers to become artists themselves; others have moved children to speak or act in new ways; others have simply given rise to the laughter and sheer delight that come from a good book. In return, Ian has been the recipient of many gifts himself, from the wide range of experiences he has had to the mementos made by young children or artists in the communities he has visited. All these gifts come together in his cabinet of curiosities — an eclectic and personal collection that nonetheless represents and appreciates our rich and varied land. Each double-page illustration shows a shelf in the cabinet dedicated to a province or territory with the gifts or special memories Ian has from that place — tamarack geese made by Cree artists in northern Ontario, a fishing-stage facade from Newfoundland, the giant Douglas fir trees in Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, and much more. Always experimenting with new techniques, Ian has illustrated the entire book in delicate graphite pencil, achieving stunning light and shadow. This is a beautiful and unusual contribution to Canada’s 150th birthday.
