Veertig helder geschreven essays, aantrekkelijk gepresenteerd, actueel, eigenzinnig, maatschappelijk relevant. Ideeën, opinies en beschouwingen trekken elkaar in dit boek voort als treintjes. Een gevarieerde mix van thema's. Het gaat van vermageren over IQ naar taal, van heelal over DNA naar sport. Beeldcultuur, reizen,verleiding, simpeldenken, stress, barbaren, ecologie, internet, lefgozerkapitalisme en gastronomie vind je evengoed op het menu. Geschiedenis naast vooruitblik, hedendaags naast van alle tijden. Begin 21ste eeuw leven wij voor het eerst in een én-én wereld, een wereld van veel en groot, van licht en leeg. Wij zien zoveel fascinerends om ons heen en tegelijk zoveel interessante onzin. En daarbij voelen we magische aantrekking en tegelijk voorzichtig afstand bewaren. Wanneer speel je mee, wanneer blok je af, tegen wat zeg je ja, tegen wie neen? Daarover gaat deze bundel, over interessante stukjes mens, zeg maar. Uitdagen, verrassen, informeren,e's dieper graven, tussendoor ontroeren, dat is het opzet. Met tal van extra's voor nog meer lees-, kijk en surfplezier.

The English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse (1810-88) travelled to Jamaica in 1844 and stayed for eighteen months to observe the diverse wildlife there. Upon his return he described his findings in a trilogy of books. The first two examined the island's birds - he has been hailed as the 'father of Jamaican ornithology' - but he used the present work, first published in 1851, to describe all the other forms of life on the island, from beetles to fruit trees. Lamenting that natural history was too often presented as a 'science of dead things', Gosse made his investigations come alive in this work by writing it in a diary form, discussing what he encountered as his journey progressed, and providing a number of illustrations. His lively and engaging style won him a wide audience, and this work remains an important early example of popular natural history.

Original essays by leading philosophers of science explore the question of whether metaphysics can and should be naturalised - conducted as part of natural science. They engage with a range of approaches and disciplines to argue that if metaphysics is to be capable of identifying objective truths, it must be continuous with and inspired by science.

This new and improved edition of Letters from Alabama offers a valuable window into pioneer Alabama and the landscape and life-forms encountered by early settlers of the state.

He was employed by Judge Reuben Saffold and other planters near Pleasant Hill in Dallas County as a teacher for about a dozen of their children, but his principal interest was natural history. Letters from Alabama is a personalized record of Gosse's perceptive observations durin
