From the author of Monarchs of the Sea, a first-of-its-kind journey into the hidden world of baby animals—hailed as “a gobsmacking delight!” (Sy Montgomery, New York Times–bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus) It’s time to pay attention to baby animals. From egg to tadpole, chick to fledgling, they offer scientists a window into questions of immense importance: How do genes influence health? Which environmental factors support—or obstruct—life? Entire ecosystems rest on the shoulders (or tentacles, or jointed exoskeletons) of animal babies. At any given moment, babies represent the majority of animal life on Earth. In Nursery Earth, researcher Danna Staaf invites readers into the sibling (and, sometimes, clashing) fields of ecology and developmental biology. The tiny, hidden lives that these scientists study in the lab and in the wild reveal some of nature’s strangest workings: A salamander embryo breathes with the help of algae inside its cells. The young grub of a Goliath beetle dwarfs its parents. The spotted beak of a parasitic baby bird tricks adults of other species into feeding it. Mouse embryos can absorb cancerous cell grafts—and develop into healthy adults. Our bias toward adult animals (not least because babies can be hard to find) means these wonders have long gone under-researched. But for all kinds of animals, if we overlook their babies, we miss out on the most fascinating—and consequential—time in the lives of their species. Nursery Earth makes the case that these young creatures are not just beings in progress but beings in their own right. And our planet needs them all: the maggots as much as the kittens!

An eye-popping, narratively compelling safari through animal infants—from egg to metamorphosis, from cicadas to squids—and how essential “baby” animals are to life on Earth, whatever their form and lifespan When we imagine animals, we typically think of them in their adult forms—cats rather than kittens, full-grown fish rather than minuscule eggs. But at any given moment, the vast majority of animals on Earth are, in fact, babies. Nursery Earth sets out to give this vital stage of life its due, revealing fascinating aspects of biology by considering how different creatures grow and develop. Why do most animals (perhaps 90 percent of species) go through a developmental phase at the start of their lives in which they look and act completely different from their parents (and even inhabit entirely different habitats)? And why and how are eggs and embryos, larvae and hatchlings, and all manner of other early life forms crucial to ecology and conservation, food security, and human health? Marshaling the latest evidence-based research, reporting from the labs and outposts of biological discovery, and recounting tales from a lifetime studying animals, Danna Staaf delves into these questions and more. On her quest to explore animal development, Staaf brings readers on her travels, seeking elusive squid eggs on a research ship in the Gulf of California and witnessing the cacophonous emergence of cicada Brood X on the east coast of the United States. Throughout, photographs and illustrations offer readers a peek at the fascinating and sometimes-strange babies she studies, creatures like the juvenile echidna “puggle” and the caterpillar snake mimic: a baby moth that looks and acts just like a venomous snake. Over and over, we learn how important animals’ earliest life stages are to the ecosystems they inhabit, and how vulnerable they are to perturbations like pollution and climate change. Nursery Earth achieves something one might think impossible: helping us appreciate and love baby animals even more than we already do.

Is Creation Right? Is Evolutionary Theory Correct? An Engineer completely unqualified to make this assessment examines the Data and reaches some startling conclusions. Yes, scientific discoveries in the last quarter century provide irrefutable evidence that Mankind, Earth, and the Universe were created, although not in the timeframe espoused by Fundamentalist Christianity. However, the fact that we were created does not change the fundamental argument between Atheism and Religion since our Creators may have no further interest in us. Yes, evolutionary theory is partially correct in that we have evolved from a species previously created. We are still evolving, not so much in our bodies but in our minds and souls. The call is for us to evolve further, away from the animal instincts we inherited for survival pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, and sloth and towards their corresponding virtues humility, charity, chastity, kindness, moderation, love, and diligence. Why did our creator(s) go to so much effort? The Universe had to be as large as it is to produce the fundamental elements required for Planet earth and for ourselves. What was our creator(s) purpose? To create another like themselves. The souls of those of us who have sufficiently evolved will be the component parts, the cells, of that spirit being. The Bride of Christ, who will join with our creator(s) leave earth and fly among the stars.

All parents want to give their babies the very best start in life. From prenatal vitamins and prenatal exercise to Mozart played in utero, they will do anything to give their baby every advantage even before she or he is born. Naturally, they want this enrichment to continue after their bundle of joy arrives. Feng Shui for the Nursery shows them how. "Few things set the tone of a room more than artwork. In the nursery, choose your artwork wisely. For a perfectly harmonious atmosphere, hang five separate pieces, each representing a different earth element. Try stars for fire, a tree for wood, dolphins or snowmen for water, a rocket for metal, and a bunny for earth.""The more room chi has to circulate around a crib, the healthier and more restorative its energy will be. To ensure good overall health and development, don't hang anything over a crib and never store anything below."The tips in Feng Shui for the Nursery are neither difficult nor expensive. All it requires is desire to affect positive change and a little creativity. With Feng Shui for the Nursery parents will be well on their way to creating a positive nursery environment for their child. It offers a fresh look at welcoming a new baby in ways that will enhance the harmony of the entire home.

Consciousness survives the death of the body - that much can be asserted with near certainty, based on the evidence presented in Volume One of this book. But if consciousness is independent of matter, then what is the purpose of physical existence? Why should consciousness ally itself with physical form in the first place if it is basically independent of it? To what end are we born as physical creatures? According to Seth - that nonphysical "energy personality essence" who dictated The Seth Material through the auspices of writer and mystic Jane Roberts - earth is a training system for emerging consciousness. Consciousness is not static, but grows, evolves, and develops, and the physical system is one arena of existence in which consciousness can gain experience in the formation of reality. The human species, according to Seth, set out millennia ago to develop a specialized form of consciousness - an ego-identity - that could perceive physical reality in a radically new fashion, different from the animals, from a psychological perspective seemingly separate from the rest of the living world. Human consciousness would become the thinking portion of the earth, and could begin to construct, for itself and the other creatures of the earth, a phys- ical reality of the sort that a sane god would create. If Seth is correct, it should be possible to trace the emergence of this ego- identity down through the millennia, following its historical development as reflected in our changing mythologies, and in the societies that created them. This volume sets out on a quest to follow the developing ego through history's pages, and ends with a revolutionary new understanding of our present culture, and the reasons behind our erroneous belief that consciousness arises from matter, instead of the other way around.
