Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin's theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell.
At the heart of Haeckel's colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel's entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel's work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures.
In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel's work, with a collection of 300 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschw mme, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.

This volume addresses controversies connected to the testing of the capacities and potentials of mediums. Today we commonly?associate the term "medium" with the technical communication between transmitters and receivers. Yet this term likewise applies to?those who cooperate with agencies that exceed the presumed domain of the material world. Insofar as one presumes a division?between distinctly opposed categories of religion and the secular, technical media tend to be associated with the secular and human?(trance) mediums tend to be associated with religion after 1900. This volume concerns the ways in which the term?medium still marks an overlapping of – and thus problematizes – the aforementioned division between religion and the secular, the?personal and the technological.
The term medium carries with it a seed of doubt that is itself inseparable from investment in the medium's power: insofar as they?communicate with an "other" realm, mediums offer the hope and promise of new possibilities and improved efficiency, and thus of a?better life; yet they have simultaneously been under suspicion of altering (or even inventing) the messages they communicate. It is due?to this combination of promise and suspicion that "mediumism" has tended to evoke scientific, religious, and moral controversies. Thus,?we can speak of a "mediumistic trial" – that is, a process in which a medium is put to the test concerning its potentials and?trustworthiness. Around 1800, experts were asked if a modern secular institution would be capable of inspiring, domesticating or?excluding trance mediumship. This question has stayed with us ever since, and the answers have remained inconclusive. That is why?the past and present of mediumship may be asked to elucidate each other.
Anyone who has ever felt or looked unconventional or enjoys weird stories about awkward people will want to read Loving Every Awkward Step. A humorous memoir about clubfoot, life choices, and surviving being different, Houston-Voss tells about growing up different in a world that wanted the same. She explores the feelings of what is thought of as normal and the challenges of fitting into societal expectations when hiding a disability.
Born with a combination of bilateral Clubfoot and Matatarsus Verus, Houston-Voss tells tales of growing up with physical differences and how that influenced many of her life choices; from the feeling of being different but trying to blend in, developing humor and anger for coping, to going to NYC to be an actress but not being able to escape her feet.
At 32, Houston-Voss was about to have her fifth surgery on her left foot. Having multiple childhood memories of being in hospitals, she wanted to reflect on the experience of surgery and the healing process while actually going through it. She also wanted to keep herself busy since there is a lot of sitting around when your leg is in a cast. This reflection turned up stories about friendships, a struggling acting career, and even a mistimed bridesmaid adventure.
Ten years later she found her manuscript and kept writing. A lot had changed, not only in her personal life, but in the World. We read how age and experience can change what a person finds important in appearances and life.
This journey starts with Houston-Voss as a child who wanted to be a normal kid and ends with her as a mom who wants her own child to know that it is ok to be different.
