'Wondering and wonderful. The nature book of the year.' JOHN
LEWIS-STEMPEL 'This lovely book is almost as thrilling as the
bird's immortal song - balm for a troubled soul and a glimpse of
paradise.' JOANNA LUMLEY ______________________________ Come to the
forest, sit by the fireside and listen to intoxicating song, as Sam
Lee tells the story of the nightingale. Every year, as darkness
falls upon woodlands, the nightingale heralds the arrival of
Spring. Throughout history, its sweet song has inspired musicians,
writers and artists around the world, from Germany, France and
Italy to Greece, Ukraine and Korea. Here, passionate
conservationist, renowned musician and folk expert Sam Lee tells
the story of the nightingale. This book reveals in beautiful detail
the bird's song, habitat, characteristics and migration patterns,
as well as the environmental issues that threaten its livelihood.
From Greek mythology to John Keats, to Persian poetry and 'A
Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square', Lee delves into the various
ways we have celebrated the nightingale through traditions,
folklore, music, literature, from ancient history to the present
day. The Nightingale is a unique and lyrical portrait of a famed
yet elusive songbird. ______________________________ 'Sam Lee has
brought the poetic magic that has long enchanted so many of his
musical fans into the written word. Allow yourself to glimpse the
world Sam sees, to be part of his love affair with the nightingale,
and you will no doubt be delighted.' LILY COLE 'A wonderful book.'
STEPHEN MOSS 'A magical marriage of the lyrical and practical: a
book that makes us want to seek out the nightingale and then
reveals how we can.' TRISTAN GOOLEY
Advances over the past decades in space flight technology have
allowed U.S., Russian, and other space programs to not only
increase the frequency of manned space flights but also to increase
the duration of these flights. As such, a large body of knowledge
has been developed regarding the ways in which space flight affects
the health of the personnel involved. Now, for the first time, this
body of clinical knowledge on how to diagnose and treat conditions
that either develop during a mission or because of a mission has
been compiled by Drs. Michael R. Barratt and Sam L. Pool of the
NASA/Johnson Space Center. This text is a must have for all those
associated with aerospace medicine.
Living in Faith Korean Americans need a Bible study series that
should identify those challenges and address those opportunities.
This Bible study series will be a combination of both biblical
information and transformational experiences. This series will aim
at giving practical guidance in the journey of immigrant life as
Christians. This series will basically deal with three questions:
1. Who (or whose) are we?, 2. Who is God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit?,
and 3. What does God want us to do? The rubrics that will reflect
these questions are 1) Bible texts, 2) Immigrant life stories, 3)
Sharing, 4) Decision-making."
The ascent of startups on the Fortune 500 ranking, displacing some
of the more notable companies, raised not only attention but also
questions. Fundamentally, startups are built on a very different
organizational culture as compared to a traditional Fortune 500.
Could these cultural differences be the reason startups are in the
forefront of technology innovation, disrupting industries dominated
by more established competitors and thriving in today's volatile
business environment? Department of Startup: Why Every Fortune 500
Should Have One aims to help CEOs, presidents, and human resource
practitioners on how they can transform their large corporation to
thrive in a fast, social media conscious, and unforgiving market a
la startup.
