Grow wild : the whole-child, whole-family, nature-rich guide to moving more / by Bowman, Katy,author.(CARDINAL)343513;
Our kids are moving less than any other generation in human history; indoor time and screen time have skyrocketed. As adults and kids turn more to "convenient," tech-based solutions, tasks that once required head-to-toe use of our muscles and bones can be done with a click and a swipe. Without realizing it, we've traded convenience for the movement-rich environment that our physical, mental, and environmental health depends on. Parents don't know what to do! But there's good news: While the problem feels massive, the solution is simple...and fun! Grow Wild not only breaks down the 'big ideas' behind movement as a nutrient, it serves as a field guide―how to spot all the movement opportunities we're currently missing. Bowman, a leader in the Movement movement, has written Grow Wild to show where movement used to fit into the activities of daily life and more importantly, how it can again. Grow Wild is necessary reading for a wide range of readers―anyone who spends time with children. Humans live in many places and there are countless movement opportunities wherever you live, you just need to know how to spot them. Children and their families can thrive by learning to move more inside, adventure more outside, and grow wild in any environment.

Brilliant green [sound recording] : the surprising history and science of plant intelligence / by Mancuso, Stefano,author.(CARDINAL)424534; Viola, Alessandra,author.(CARDINAL)620858; Pollan, Michael,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)265841; Chamberlain, Mike,narrator.(CARDINAL)552733;
Read by Mike Chamberlain.Are plants intelligent' Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings' Or are they passive, incapable of independent action or social behavior' Philosophers and scientists have pondered these questions since ancient Greece, most often concluding that plants are unthinking and inert: they are too silent, too sedentary-just too different from us. Yet discoveries over the past fifty years have challenged these ideas, shedding new light on the extraordinary capabilities and complex interior lives of plants.In Brilliant Green, Stefano Mancuso, a leading scientist and founder of the field of plant neurobiology, presents a new paradigm in our understanding of the vegetal world. Combining a historical perspective with the latest in plant science, Mancuso argues that, due to cultural prejudices and human arrogance, we continue to underestimate plants. In fact, they process information, sleep, remember, and signal to one another-showing that, far from passive machines, plants are intelligent and aware. Through a survey of plant capabilities from sight and touch to communication, Mancuso challenges our notion of intelligence, presenting a vision of plant life that is more sophisticated than most imagine.

Part botany lesson, part manifesto, Brilliant Green is an engaging and passionate examination of the inner workings of the plant kingdom."--

Flaubert : a biography / by Brown, Frederick,1934-(CARDINAL)151242;
MARCIVE 12/19/07Includes bibliographical references (pages 599-608) and index.Prologue: Rouen -- The surgeon at the Hotel-Dieu -- The cynosure of all eyes -- School days -- Stories and histories -- First love -- The grand tour -- A fortunate fall -- Deaths in the family -- Louis, Louise, and Max -- 1848 -- Voyage en Orient: Egypt -- Voyage en Orient: after Egypt -- The perfect hostages -- Madame Bovary -- On trial -- An island of his own -- Entering middle age -- Imperial society -- L'Education sentimentale -- War years -- Orphanhood -- "We are all of us emigres, left over from another age" -- A fruitful intermission -- The unraveling."Gustave Flaubert, whose Madame Bovary outraged the right-thinking bourgeoisie when it was first published in 1856, is brought to life here in all his singularity and brilliance. Frederick Brown's portrayal is of an artist fraught with contradictions, his wit and bravado merging into vulnerability. A sedentary man by nature, Flaubert undertook epic voyages through Egypt and the Middle East. He could be flamboyantly uncouth but was fanatically devoted to beautifully cadenced prose. While energized by his camaraderie with male friends, who included Turgenev, the Goncourt brothers, Zola, and Maupassant, he depended for emotional nurture upon maternal women, notably George Sand. His assorted mistresses - French, Egyptian, and English - fed his richly erotic imagination and found their way into his fictional characters." "Flaubert's time and place caused him to be literally put on trial for portraying lewd behavior in Madame Bovary. His milieu also made him a celebrity and, indirectly, brought about his financial ruin, probably hastening his sudden death at the age of fifty-nine. Although writing was something like torture for him, it preoccupied his mind and dominated his life. He privately dreamed of popular success, which he in fact achieved with Madame Bovary, but adamantly refused to sacrifice to it his ideal of artistic integrity."--BOOK JACKET.
