But recovery after the fire was swift. Within five years, shrub cover had increased 70 percent. And despite an over 90 percent reduction in tree canopy in the severely burned areas, birds thrived in the aftermath.

The intervals in music theory: definition, story & examples
Music intervals have fascinated many spiritually elevated people, mathematicians like Pythagoras or mediums like Gustavo Rol.
All these renowned personalities have studied their characteristics and above all their ability to generate specific psychophysical effects in humans. Rudolf Steiner analyzed them to present his research at a conference in Stuttgart in 1923.
