Showing results for "the-silence" in Science & Engineering

Raynor Winn tells us about taking on a chronically over-farmed piece of land that was given to her and Moth by a reader who was moved by their story in The Salt Path. This book is about readjusting to life after homelessness, but also about recovering trust and self-belief after a traumatic event - feelings that can translate to many episodes in the life of any of us. Through Raynor's exceptional writing, she will explore the hope she has of revitalising and of re-wilding this land - and also themes of lifelong love, nature and what it means to find a home.

When Speaker Newt Gingrich greeted Dr. David Lewis in his office overlooking the National Mall, he looked at Dr. Lewis and said: "You know you’re going to be fired for this, don’t you?" "I know," Dr. Lewis replied, "I just hope to stay out of prison." Gingrich had just read Dr. Lewis' commentary in Nature, titled "EPA Science: Casualty of Election Politics".

The experience of being in nature alone is here set within the context of a series of walks that Neil Ansell takes into the most remote parts of Britain, the rough bounds in the Scottish Highlands. He illustrates the impact of being alone as part of nature rather than outside it. As a counterpoint, Neil Ansell also writes of the changes in the landscape and how his hearing loss affects his relationship with nature as the calls of the birds he knows so well become silent to him.

Between iPods, music-blasting restaurants, earsplitting sports stadiums, and endless air and road traffic, the place for quiet in our lives grows smaller by the day.

Birdsong in a Time of Silence is the story of a man rediscovering his passion for birdsong and nature.

Starting with a portrait of the blackbird - most prominent and articulate of the early spring singers - the book proceeds through 10 chapters to explore how birds sing, the variety of singing birds and more.

Is silence real? Let's dive into our sound world and listen deeply. If you're here to listen intently or if you're here for relaxing sounds, welcome.

How does silence manifest itself? It could be in many ways - auditory, political, conversational, in research or exploration. In Ontologies of Silence, professor and audio artist Debashis Sinha converses with research-practitioners from from the sciences to the humanities to the arts in an effort to uncover the many ways silence makes itself felt. How and where do we encounter silences, and what do they mean for us when we do?

Alejandra Ponce, experta en nutrigenómica, nos advierte que, contrario a lo que la medicina tradicional ha dictado, no es correcto seguir recomendaciones generales: hay que buscarun plan de alimentación adecuado para tus genes, de manera que goces hoy de una vida sana y que llegues a la vejez sin enfermedades. Aunque estamos programados genéticamente para presentar ciertos padecimientos, la combinación de una nutrición personalizada y un estilo de vida saludable hace posible retrasarlos o incluso silenciarlos para siempre.
