Newton's unparalleled analytical power set him apart from other celebrated scientists, excelling in theoretical and experimental physics as well as pure mathematics. His unique combination of skills and intellect contributed significantly to the advancement of science, establishing him as a pivotal figure in the history of scientific thought.

Written by experts with extensive local knowledge, each volume features 100 -280 species that the amateur naturalist might expect to see in the field, with high quality photographs accompanied by detailed species descriptions that include common name, scientific name, size, distribution, habits and habitat.

Focusing on the fundamental principles of physics, the book explores the shift from naïve realism to abstraction in understanding quantum mechanics. It delves into the origins of everything, addressing profound questions about space, time, and matter. By introducing a unique approach centered on symmetry, it appeals to both professionals in the field and general readers, offering insights into complex concepts in an accessible manner.

Focusing on the foundations of physics, this book emerged from a series of engaging lectures aimed at stimulating both postgraduate and undergraduate students' interest in deeper conceptual and mathematical structures. It encourages independent thought and exploration, providing a balance of technical content without overwhelming detail. Ideal for postgraduate courses, it also serves as a valuable resource for undergraduates, inspiring creative problem-solving in the face of foundational challenges in physics.

Focusing on the enduring relevance of Newton's theories, this book explores how his abstract system of thinking applies to contemporary physics challenges. It examines his writings, revealing a powerful cognitive approach that yields accurate results, even in fields that developed long after his era. By linking Newton's principles to modern problems, the text enhances understanding of both his original work and its implications today, bridging the gap between seventeenth-century insights and current scientific discourse.

Exploring the transformative impact of the Newtonian method, this book delves into how mathematics serves as a foundational tool for understanding various aspects of nature, beyond just physics. It highlights Newton's vision of applying mathematical laws to fields like chemistry, biology, and philosophy, emphasizing the collaborative effort required over centuries to fully realize this potential. By analyzing the method's implications, the book illustrates its role in shaping our comprehension of the universe and its interconnected systems.

Set against the backdrop of the Stikine River in northern BC, the narrative follows Peter Rowlands' transformative journey after a canoeing trip in 1979. Captivated by the river's natural beauty, he becomes an advocate for its protection and the rights of Indigenous communities. Rowlands navigates the complexities of environmental activism, confronting bureaucratic obstacles and corporate interests that threaten the ecosystem. This account emphasizes the critical need for healthy waterways and raises awareness about the interconnectedness of nature and global health.

Many of us who participate in adventure sports have wondered: "What if the worst really happened? What if everything I have held so dear were to be taken away in the blink of an eye: my way of living, my job, my social life ... everything!?"An inspiring tale of a remarkable recovery from a hugely... číst celé
