From the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, hundreds of British women wrote about and drew from nature. Some—like the beloved children's author Beatrix Potter, who produced natural history about hedgehogs as well as fiction about rabbits—are still familiar today. But others have all but disappeared from view. Barbara Gates recovers these lost works and prints them alongside little-known pieces by more famous authors, like Potter's field notes on hedgehogs, reminding us of better known stories that help set the others in context. The works contained in this volume are as varied as the women who produced them. They include passionate essays on the protection of animals, vivid accounts of travel and adventure from the English seashore to the Indian Alps, poetry and fiction, and marvelous tales of nature for children. Special features of the book include a detailed chronology placing each selection in its historical and literary context; biographical sketches of each author's life and works; a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature; and over sixty illustrations. An ideal introduction to women's powerful and diverse responses to the natural world, In Nature's Name will be treasured by anyone interested in natural history, women, or Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
You know what my aim was to motivate all the people who read what I am witting but the truth is I have been motivated more than I thought, each day that I managed to write more information about my life the more zeal I got to write more. This is a true life and a true setting of my African culture. I relieve that life in my thoughts and it makes me smile because I only concentrate on good memories.
Michael Townsend just wants to study the mammalian genome but incidentally becomes a pawn in an alien game of strategy. During his research, Michael gets sick. After blood work, a rheumatologist confirms that Michael’s genetic code is missing molecules. It’s as if something spliced his DNA at the same point in every cell, leaving Michael to waste away. Except, Michael doesn’t waste away. A last-ditch treatment effort turns him into something else entirely. He becomes the “Knight Bear,” a man turned into a wild beast. He soon learns of aliens from another dimension formed from quarks- random subatomic particles, also calling themselves quarks. It was the quarks that tried to eliminate Michael, but he is anything but dead. Now, Earth is under attack from an evil alien warlord. These aliens scheme to use humans as laboratory rats, experimenting to see if others can survive like Michael. When humans are captured in the midst of this intergalactic struggle, they are taken to the other dimension of quarks, and for everyone, it is now time to survive or die.
