Exploring Geology by Reynolds/Johnson is an innovative textbook
intended for an introductory college geology course, such as
Physical Geology. This ground-breaking, visually spectacular book
was designed from cognitive and educational research on how
students think, learn, and study.
Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger are arguably the two most
influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Their work not
only reshaped the philosophical landscape, but also left its mark
on other disciplines, including political science, theology,
anthropology, ecology, mathematics, cultural studies, literary
theory, and architecture. Both sought to challenge the assumptions
governing the traditions they inherited, to question the very terms
in which philosophy's problems had been posed, and to open up new
avenues of thought for thinkers of all stripes. And despite
considerable differences in style and in the traditions they
inherited, the similarities between Wittgenstein and Heidegger are
striking. Comparative work of these thinkers has only increased in
recent decades, but no collection has yet explored the various ways
in which Wittgenstein and Heidegger can be drawn into dialogue. As
such, these essays stage genuine dialogues, with aspects of
Wittgenstein's elucidations answering or problematizing aspects of
Heidegger's, and vice versa. The result is a broad-ranging
collection of essays that provides a series of openings and
provocations that will serve as a reference point for future work
that draws on the writings of these two philosophers.
Exploring Earth Science, Third Edition, by Stephen Reynolds and
Julia Johnson, is an innovative textbook intended for an
introductory college geology course, such as earth science. This
ground-breaking, visually spectacular book was designed following
cognitive and educational research on how students think, learn,
and study.
This book looks at significant current grassland problems and
issues, and provides an insight into grassland productivity in
diverse areas of the world, with their various production systems.
There is a focus on recent technical advances and the prospects for
further innovation, through twenty-one chapters by eminent
grassland scientists, grouped into seven sections - forage
germplasm; forage conservation; grass-based systems and organic
production; climate change, biodiversity and biotechnology;
geographical information systems; farmer and pastoralist
participation; and regional developments. The book is timely in
view of the expanding human and livestock populations, especially
in arid and semi-arid environments, with the consequent pressure on
the world's grasslands.

just need to find out what's real... What if the last night of your
life never stops happening? The new book from the author of The

William Arthur Human was 22 years old and serving as a British
soldier in India when war broke out in 1914. This is his story, in
his own words, covering his first eight months on the Western Front
and featuring the Battle of Neuve Chapelle. An extraordinarily
vivid account that is heartfelt, captivating, and challenging in
equal measure. "Nowadays - when I think of it - it gives me a
shiver down my back. I wonder how a man could live through it all
and yet be sane." Written by William Arthur Human Transcribed by
his great-grandson Stephen Reynolds

Scottish Highlands. With grand imposing scenery and beautiful
