The nature of things / by Lucretius Carus, Titus.(CARDINAL)139863; Stallings, Alicia,translator.;

Lucretius' poem On the Nature of Things combines a scientific and philosophical treatise with some of the greatest poetry ever written. With intense moral fervour he demonstrates to humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is mortal, and the world and everything in it is governed by the mechanical laws of nature and not by gods; and that by believing this men can live in peace of mind and happiness. He bases this on the atomic theory expounded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus, and continues with an examination of sensation, sex, cosmology, meteorology, and geology, all of these subjects made more attractive by the poetry with which he illustrates them.

Indigenizing counseling -- ch. 6. We are of this place: integrating traditional science and health -- ch. 7. Decolonizing and indigenizing our minds for better health: Tohi -- Afterword: Listening to the sounds of Tohi / Tom Hatley."This project is the result of almost two decades of work by medical anthropologist Lisa J. Lefler and Cherokee Elder and traditionalist Thomas N. Belt. It is a "dialogue" of their interest and application of traditional indigenous knowledge and the importance of place for two people from cultures and histories that intersect in the mountains of southern Appalachia. They have worked to decolonize thinking about health, well-being, and environmental issues through the language and experiences of people whose identity is inextricably linked to the mountains and landscape of western North Carolina. In this book, they discuss the Cherokee (Kituwah) concept of health, tohi, along with other critical cultural concepts that explain the science of relationships with this world, with the spirit world, and with people. Tohi infers a more pervasive understanding that the relationships in life are all balanced and moving forward in a good way. They discuss the importance of matrilineality, particularly in light of community healing, the epistemologies of Cherokee cosmography, and decolonizing counseling approaches. They hope to offer a different way of approaching the issues that face this country in this time of difficulty and division. They share their urgency to take action against the wholesale exploitation of public lands and shared environment, to work to perpetuate tribal languages, to preserve the science that can make a difference in how people treat one another, and to create more forums that are inclusive of Native and marginalized voices and that promote respect and appreciation of one another and protection of sacred places. Throughout, they rely on the preservation of traditional knowledge, or Native science, via the language to provide insight as to why people should recognize a connection to the land. These notions are supported through insight from thinkers representing a variety of disciplines"--

What they all have in common is the ability to take an idea and develop it in a new manner relevant to their times. The book is divided into several sections. 'Gardens of Ideas' moves from the politically allusive gardens of 18th-century England made by men such as William Kent, to Charles Jencks' Scottish garden inspired by 21st-century cosmography. 'Gardens of Straight Lines' explores the lives of the great formalist gardeners, from Le Notre at Versailles to the rational English minimalism of contemporary designer Christopher Bradley-Hole. 'Gardens of Curves' begins with that great exponent of the English landscape garden, 'Capability' Brown, and leads to the extraordinary Brazilian designer Roberto Burle Marx. Finally, 'Gardens of Plantsmanship' moves from the father of naturalistic planting, William Robinson, to the sweeping prairies of New York's favourite Dutch designer, Piet Oudolf. With an outstanding text by the award-winning gardens writer Stephen Anderton, this book will appeal to garden lovers everywhere. --
