Conversations about "all things lavender" from growing tips to everyday uses for the world's most soothing flower.

As news reports of the horrific December 2004 tsunami in Asia reached the rest of the world, commentators were quick to seize upon the disaster as proof of either God’s power or God’s nonexistence, asking over and over, How could a good and loving God - if such exists - allow such suffering? In The Doors of the Sea, David Bentley Hart speaks at once to those skeptical of Christian faith and to those who use their Christian faith to rationalize senseless human suffering.

The wild isn’t always deep in the mountains. Sometimes—it’s standing right outside your door. In The Coyote at the Door, real people share their terrifying, unforgettable encounters with one of North America’s most adaptable predators. Set in quiet suburbs, rural backyards, neighborhood parks, and wooded walking trails, these are true stories of sudden wildlife attacks that shattered the illusion of safety and brought the wilderness crashing into everyday life.

The once denuded Northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of Northeastern forests. Although historians and historical actors alike have seen urban and rural areas as distinct, they are in fact intertwined, and the dichotomies of farm and forest, agriculture and industry, and nature and culture break down when the focus is on the history of Northeastern woods.

In deze boeiende lezing neemt Frits Beukers u mee langs getallen, breuken en oneindigheid. Beginnend bij het imago dat wiskunde bij veel mensen heeft en waarvan de basis vaak op middelbare scholen wordt gelegd. Wiskunde zou saai zijn en stoffig. Dat wiskunde ook leuk en praktisch kan zijn, maakt hij met deze lezing duidelijk. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan cryptografie, het berekenen van kansen bij sportwedstrijden óf waarom het weer zo moeilijk te voorspellen is. Beukers laat in zes hoofdstukken zien dat wiskunde een zeer divers en boeiend vakgebied is.

This is the English platform for our original German podcast. We, Patrick and Michael, firmly believe that we can only tackle climate change together - with love instead of fear. Our mission: to find practicable, positive solutions with our neighbors and not forget to have fun. Our podcast, launched in 2022 as “Klimaleichen - Vergessene Lösungen der Klimakrise”, has been called “Klimanachbarn - die Revolution beginnt nebenan” since December 2023. We focus on encouraging approaches away from the usual doomsday mood.

An urgent and deeply felt call to face our complicity in the Earth’s destruction. In the shadow of an escalating eco-crisis - a looming catastrophe that will dwarf the fallout from COVID-19 - how can we explain our society’s failure to act? What will we tell future generations? Are we paralyzed because the problem is so vast in scope, or are there deeper reasons for the widespread passivity? Nathaniel Popkin explores the moral, social, and psychological dimensions of the crisis, outlining a path to a future spring.
