Fleurs de Silence

Récit d'un tsunami intérieur

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

<div>The Artist’s Garden offers an intriguing study into 20 gardens that have inspired and been home to some of the greatest painters from history. This&nbsp;sumptuously illustrated and fascinating book delves into the&nbsp;stories behind the gardens which inspired some of the most beautiful and important works of art. These gardens not only supplied the inspiration for creative works but also illuminate the&nbsp;professional motivation and private life of the artists themselves – from Cezanne’s house in the south of France to Childe Hassam at Celia Thaxter’s garden off the coast off Maine. Flowers and gardens have often been the first choice for artists looking for a subject. A garden close to the artist’s studio is not only convenient for daily material and ideas, but also has the advantage of changing through the seasons and over time. Claude Monet’s Giverny was the catalyst for hundreds of great paintings (by Monet and other artists), each one different from the one before. Sometimes a whole village becomes the focus for a colony of artists as at Gerberoy in Picardy and Skagen on the northernmost tip of Denmark. This book is about the real homes and gardens that inspired these great artists – gardens that can still be visited today. The relationship between artist and garden is a complex one. A few artists, including Pierre Bonnard and his neighbour Monet were keen gardeners, as much in love with their plants as their work, while for others like Sorolla in Madrid, his courtyard home was both a sanctuary and a source of ideas. This book is as unmissable for art lovers as it is for anyone who knows the joy of time spent in gardens, offering an intriguing insight into the lives of these great painters and the gardens which inspired them to their creative heights. Now available in paperback.&nbsp;</div>

Human-Animal Studies

After the scientific age in the 17th Century led to a break with the history of the representation of animals, which lasted approximately 30,000 years, the image of the animal currently shows a radical change. On the one hand, astonishing abilities have been discovered: thinking ravens and playful octopi. Here, agency is a central term: Can animals be subjects who actively intervene in human society? This new image has also increased the human need for emotional closeness. On the other hand, the human claim for absolute power over the life of animals is continued: Animals are being cloned, and synthetic biology is working on animals grown in the lab. Researching this schism between the interference with the evolution and an attitude towards animals that postulates subjectivity and demands animal rights, Bernd Hüppauf illuminates the heterogeneous animal images from the early modern period to the contemporary ecological crisis.

Nachdem das wissenschaftliche Zeitalter im 17. Jahrhundert zu einem Bruch mit der etwa 30.000-jährigen Geschichte der Repräsentation des Tiers geführt hatte, erlebt das Tierbild gegenwärtig erneut einen radikalen Umbruch.Einerseits werden erstaunliche Fähigkeiten entdeckt: denkende Raben und spielende Kraken. Ein zentraler Begriff hierbei ist Agency: Kann das Tier Subjekt sein und aktiv in die menschliche Gesellschaft eingreifen? Mit dem neuen Bild wächst das Bedürfnis nach emotionaler Nähe. Andererseits setzt sich der Anspruch der absoluten Macht des Menschen über das Leben der Tiere fort: Tiere werden geklont und die synthetische Biologie arbeitet am Tier aus der Retorte.Bernd Hüppauf geht diesem Schisma zwischen dem Eingriff in die Evolution und einer Einstellung zum Tier, die Subjektivität postuliert und Tierrechte fordert, nach und beleuchtet die heterogenen Tierbilder von der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart der ökologischen Krise.

A sweeping account of male nurturing, explaining how and why men are biologically transformed when they care for babies 

It has long seemed self-evident that women care for babies and men do other things. Hasn’t it always been so? When evolutionary science came along, it rubber-stamped this venerable division of labor: mammalian males evolved to compete for status and mates, while females were purpose-built to gestate, suckle, and otherwise nurture the victors’ offspring. But come the twenty-first century, increasing numbers of men are tending babies, sometimes right from birth. How can this be happening? Puzzled and dazzled by the tender expertise of new fathers around the world—several in her own family—celebrated evolutionary anthropologist and primatologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy set out to trace the deep history of male nurturing and explain a surprising departure from everything she had assumed to be "normal."

In Father Time, Hrdy draws on a wealth of research to argue that this ongoing transformation in men is not only cultural, but profoundly biological. Men in prolonged intimate contact with babies exhibit responses nearly identical to those in the bodies and brains of mothers. They develop caring potential few realized men possessed. In her quest to explain how men came to nurture babies, Hrdy travels back through millions of years of human, primate, and mammalian evolution, then back further still to the earliest vertebrates—all while taking into account recent economic and social trends and technological innovations and incorporating new findings from neuroscience, genetics, endocrinology, and more. The result is a masterful synthesis of evolutionary and historical perspectives that expands our understanding of what it means to be a man—and what the implications might be for society and our species.

'Truly extraordinary ... a very earthquake of a book ... incontestably great' The Times Powys' great visionary novel, now in Penguin Modern Classics One of the great cult novels, a book that can be read and re-read throughout a lifetime, A Glastonbury Romance is John Cowper Powys' masterpiece. Set in a beautifully imagined fictional version of the West Country, the novel inhabits a twentieth century under siege from older and stranger forces. An epic work of terrific force and lyrical intensity, interweaving the ancient with the modern, the novel probes the mystical and spiritual ethos of Glastonbury and its association with the legend of the Grail. At the heart of the book is the vision of one man, who wishes to make Glastonbury again the great pilgrimage centre it once was. But what really lies in this powerful landscape and why did so many men and women once come to it seeking redemption? The edition used for this Penguin Classics edition is the original 1932 American text. 'A masterpiece ... Open any page and you can find something wonderful' Margaret Drabble 'Possibly the greatest novel of the twentieth century, and one of the great mystical masterpieces of all time' Colin Wilson 'To encounter Powys ... is to arrive at the very fount of creation' Henry Miller

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• The author of Finding the Mother Tree offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal. "A masterclass on the inner workings of forests. . . . This is science as an act of love for the world.” —Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters Early one spring morning, I went back to the forest. I wanted to learn what the mother trees could teach me about survival and adaptability, about living and dying. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires,&nbsp;water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration—from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones—that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions—particularly destruction of the overstory's mother trees—endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.

Bluey: Grandad

From the bestselling author of The Land Where Lemons Grow, a luminous account of Sicilian history, geography, culture and cuisine, as seen from the slopes of Etna For centuries, Mount Etna has sent lava to engulf the towns and villages, terraced fields, orchards, vineyards, and citrus groves that nestle across its slopes. But still it remains home to a quarter of Sicily's population. Why? Because Etna has always rewarded her people after every eruption with a landscape of unparalleled fertility, richness and drama. In this extraordinary new book, Helena Attlee combines travel writing with history, mythology, geology, gastronomy and horticulture to tell a unique story of life in the shadow of Sicily's most dangerous and alluring landmark. Venturing through lava-strewn fields and pistachio groves patrolled by armed guards; past dusky, basalt-built farmyards, and caves once used to store snow, Attlee gathers tales of the artists, writers, farmers, and scientists who have for centuries been drawn to this unpredictable landscape: from the early Roman, Arabic and Norman settlers, Romantic poets and Victorian geologists, to the local families who live and work there today. It is at once a compelling account of Sicily's rich and varied past, and a powerful meditation on humanity's ever-changing relationship with landscape.

A visionary look at how novel attributes arise and become transformative innovations in nature, culture, and technology The Origins of the New presents a revolutionary approach to evolutionary success in all realms of life. In this groundbreaking book, Douglas Erwin takes readers on a dazzling excursion across science and history to explore how evolution generates new and enduring features in biology, culture, and technology. Erwin begins by tracing how thinkers from Darwin’s time to the present day have sought to discover the driving mechanisms of evolutionary novelty. He then lays out compelling empirical evidence for separating novelty from innovation, showing how novelty involves the emergence of unique characteristics while innovation has to do with the success of those characteristics across time. Erwin develops a unifying conceptual framework for these powerful dynamics, demonstrating how they have shaped everything from the evolution of avian feathers and flight to the creation of human language and the breathtaking advances in digital computing we’re witnessing today. A landmark work that redefines our understanding of the changes happening all around us, The Origins of the New reveals how the forces of novelty and innovation are the same across nature and culture, continually producing new forms and refashioning the world as we know it. Published in association with the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC
