Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage continued during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.
Nature is a British interdisciplinary scientific journal, first published on 4 November 1869. It was ranked the world's most cited scientific journal by the Science Edition of the 2010 Journal Citation Reports, is ascribed an impact factor of approximately 42.4, and is widely regarded as one of the few remaining academic journals that publishes original research across a wide range of scientific fields.Nature claims an online readership of about 3 million unique readers per month. The journal has a weekly circulation of around 53,000 but studies have concluded that on average a single copy is shared by as many as eight people.
Research scientists are the primary audience for the journal, but summaries and accompanying articles are intended to make many of the most important papers understandable to scientists in other fields and the educated public. Towards the front of each issue are editorials, news and feature articles on issues of general interest to scientists, including current affairs, science funding, business, scientific ethics and research breakthroughs. There are also sections on books and arts. The remainder of the journal consists mostly of research papers (articles or letters), which are often dense and highly technical. Because of strict limits on the length of papers, often the printed text is actually a summary of the work in question with many details relegated to accompanying supplementary material on the journal's website.
Mother Nature (sometimes known as Mother Earth or the Earth-Mother), is a common personification of nature that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it ,in the form of the mother.
The word "nature" comes from the Latin word, "natura," meaning birth or character (see nature (innate)). In English its first recorded use (in the sense of the entirety of the phenomena of the world) was in 1266 A.D.. "Natura", and the personification of Mother Nature, was widely popular in the Middle Ages. As a concept, seated between the properly divine and the human, it can be traced to Ancient Greece, though Earth (or "Eorthe" in the Old English period) may have been personified as a goddess. The Norse also had a goddess called Jord (or Earth).
The earliest written dated literal references to the term "Mother Earth" occur in Mycenaean Greek. Ma-ka (transliterated as ma-ga), "Mother Gaia", written in Linear B syllabic script (13th or 12th century BC). The various myths of nature goddesses such as Inanna/Ishtar (myths and hymns attested on Mesopotamian tablets as early as the 3rd millennium BC) show that the personification of the creative and nurturing sides of nature as female deities has deep roots. In Greece, the pre-Socratic philosophers had "invented" nature when they abstracted the entirety of phenomena of the world as singular: physis, and this was inherited by Aristotle. Later medieval Christian thinkers did not see nature as inclusive of everything, but thought that she had been created by God; her place lay on earth, below the unchanging heavens and moon. Nature lay somewhere in the center, with agents above her (angels), and below her (demons and hell). For the medieval mind she was only a personification, not a goddess.

Plot: "Shooting for the Butler" celebrates the life of Lord Dunsany, the 'Godfather' of Fantasy literature. His influence on the Fantasy genre includes J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis and Neil Gaiman. The early short stories written between 1905 and 1918 are his most significant work but Dunsany went on to have a successful career as a playwright and wrote more than 68 novels. A fanatical huntsman, Lord Dunsany inherited a castle in Ireland and could trace his ancestry back to the Norman conquest. This larger-than-life character is evaluated in this 60 minute documentary, which includes excerpts from several film adaptations of his stories.

Plot: Adapted from the story of the same name by the Irish writer, Lord Dunsany, this short fantasy features two mythical characters striding through London town. Nature bemoans the loss of the countryside while Time ignores her. Eventually, forced to acknowledge her presence, his retort is a grim prediction of the future of an urbanized planet.
Genres: Fantasy, Short,il n'est pas question d'images
ni de se montrer à son avantage
le temps n'est plus aux grands discours
aux langues de bois qui tournent autour
il est question de respect
de maintenant, de ce qu'on fait
parce que notre avenir dépendra de notre nature
et de ce qu'on aura laissé derrière soi
on a qu'une seule vie à vivre et qu'une seule nature
je voudrais m'en aller sans un regret derrière moi
il n'est pas question de zèle
ni de chasser le naturel
l'homme est un animal sauvage (hummm)
qui n'est pas fait pour les cages
il est question d'être 6 milliards
sous le même toit la même mare
parce que notre avenir dépendra de notre nature
et de ce qu'on aura laissé derrière soi
on a qu'une seule vie à vivre et qu'une seule nature
je voudrais m'en aller sans un regret derrière moi
si j'veux m'regarder dans la glace
et dans le regard de mes enfants (no)
si je veux un jour leur dire en face
ce qu'on a fait, c'qui les attend
parce que notre avenir dépendra de notre nature
et de ce qu'on aura laissé derrière soi
on a qu'une seule vie à vivre et qu'une seule nature
je voudrais m'en aller sans un regret derrière moi
(je voudrai m'en aller)
parce que notre avenir dépendra de notre nature (sans regret derrière moi)
et de ce qu'on aura laissé derrière soi (oh pouvoir m'en aller)
je voudrais m'en aller sans un regret derrière moi (oh sans regret derrière moi)
