    About Orchids, a Chat by Frederick Boyle ~ Full Audiobook [science]
    2025/12/27
    About Orchids, a Chat by Frederick Boyle audiobook. Genre: science In About Orchids, a Chat, Victorian writer and enthusiastic gardener Frederick Boyle invites listeners into his small 'bungalow' garden and orchid houses for a candid, witty, and practical conversation about one of the most coveted plant families on earth. Writing as a self-confessed amateur who began with more curiosity than expertise, Boyle recounts his early misconceptions, costly mistakes, and hard-won discoveries as he learns how light, ventilation, humidity, and watering can make the difference between orchids that merely survive and orchids that flourish. Along the way he introduces the colorful world surrounding orchid culture: auctions where prized plants change hands, collectors chasing rare varieties, and the emerging trade that brings spectacular species from distant forests into European glasshouses. Boyle's central mission is to strip away the intimidating mystique and show that orchid growing is not reserved for the wealthy or the professionally staffed estate. At the same time, he does not ignore the larger consequences of the craze, touching on the waste and pressure that commercial collecting can place on wild habitats. Part memoir, part guide, and part cultural snapshot, this book celebrates the beauty of orchids while challenging the listener to grow them with patience, observation, and respect.

  • Is War Diminishing by Frederick Adams Woods ~ Full Audiobook [history]

    Is War Diminishing by Frederick Adams Woods ~ Full Audiobook [history]
    2025/12/26
    Is War Diminishing by Frederick Adams Woods audiobook. Genre: history Written in 1915 in the shadow of the First World War, Is War Diminishing? asks a blunt question that still unsettles modern readers: are nations actually becoming more peaceful, or do we merely change the shape and scale of conflict? Historian Frederick Adams Woods, working with Alexander Baltzly, approaches the problem with an unusually quantitative mindset for its era. Instead of relying on moral arguments or political hopes, they assemble a long view of European history, tracking the prevalence of war from 1450 up to their present day. Country by country, the authors count years of warfare among the major European powers, compare long stretches of peace to recurring eruptions of violence, and present their findings through clear summaries and charts. Along the way, they confront the difficulties of definition (what counts as a war, and for whom?), the distortions of incomplete records, and the temptation to read progress into any temporary lull. The result is a bracing, data-driven challenge to easy optimism, and an invitation to think harder about the forces that sustain war and the conditions that might truly restrain it. Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 00 (00:10:36) Chapter 01 (00:46:34) Chapter 02 (00:53:55) Chapter 03 (01:06:50) Chapter 04 (01:13:40) Chapter 05 (01:35:42) Chapter 06 (01:45:18) Chapter 07 (01:50:07) Chapter 08 (01:59:30) Chapter 09 (02:06:15) Chapter 10 (02:21:08) Chapter 11 (02:31:42) Chapter 12 (02:42:04) Chapter 13 (02:53:33) Chapter 14 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Influence of Monarchs by Frederick Adams Woods ~ Full Audiobook [history]

    The Influence of Monarchs by Frederick Adams Woods ~ Full Audiobook [history]
    2025/12/25
    The Influence of Monarchs by Frederick Adams Woods audiobook. Genre: history In The Influence of Monarchs, physician and early social scientist Frederick Adams Woods sets out to test a bold claim: that the personal qualities of rulers can measurably shape the fortunes of nations. Writing in 1913, Woods proposes a 'new science of history' he calls historiometry, blending biography, genealogy, and comparative historical narrative to look for patterns rather than isolated anecdotes. He surveys the rise and decline of fourteen European states and places their turning points alongside the reigns of kings and queens, asking whether periods of national strength align with monarchs marked by unusual intelligence, energy, and force of will. Drawing on large family networks among royal and noble houses, Woods also weighs heredity against circumstance, treating dynastic succession as a natural experiment in leadership. Part political history, part philosophical argument, and part early quantitative study, the book invites listeners to consider how much history is driven by institutions and social movements - and how much by the character of the individual at the top. The result is a provocative, method-driven tour through European monarchy and the causes of national change.
