  How well do you know the ground beneath your feet? A primer for every Earth resident, by Harvard’s acclaimed geologist. 
  “A sublime chronicle of our planet."" –Booklist, STARRED review 
  Odds are, where you’re standing was once cooking under a roiling sea of lava, crushed by a towering sheet of ice, rocked by a nearby meteor strike, or perhaps choked by poison gases, drowned beneath ocean, perched atop a mountain range, or roamed by fearsome monsters. Probably most or even all of the above.  
  The story of our home planet and the organisms spread across its surface is far more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster, filled with enough plot twists to rival a bestselling thriller. But only recently have we begun to piece together the whole mystery into a coherent narrative. Drawing on his decades of field research and up-to-the-minute understanding of the latest science, renowned geologist Andrew H. Knoll delivers a rigorous yet accessible biography of Earth, charting our home planet's epic 4.6 billion-year story. Placing twenty first-century climate change in deep context, A Brief History of Earth is an indispensable look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Infectious diseases have long been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with their impact felt in both developed and developing countries. These diseases are caused by harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, which invade the body and disrupt normal functions. The nature of infectious diseases varies widely, from the mild common cold to severe and life-threatening conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. Understanding the factors that contribute to the spread of infections, the mechanisms through which they affect the body, and the ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent them is vital for public health efforts and individual well-being. 
  The transmission of infectious diseases can occur through various routes, including direct contact with infected individuals, airborne transmission, contaminated food and water, and vector-borne transmission through insects. The ease with which infectious diseases spread makes them a persistent global concern, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare, sanitation, and clean water. Environmental factors such as climate change, urbanization, and population movement further exacerbate the spread of diseases, often leading to epidemics and pandemics. 
  Advancements in medical science and public health have enabled significant progress in diagnosing and treating infectious diseases. Early detection through diagnostic tools such as laboratory testing and imaging allows for more targeted interventions. In addition to traditional treatments, the development of vaccines has revolutionized disease prevention, providing immunity against some of the most dangerous pathogens. However, challenges such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and emerging infectious diseases continue to pose threats to global health, necessitating ongoing research and innovation in both treatment and prevention strategies.

  River Songs - Moments of Wild...

  River Songs is rich with bracing, authentic, generous stories—writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly fishing's clichés—the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a "victory" over a fish—Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have "a long run with a tight crew." Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this "ridiculous activity" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope? 
   
   
   
  River Songs focuses on the in-between moments and the unexpected revelations—awe, fear, frustration, doubt, joy—that are as much a part of fishing as tying knots and chucking flies. Listeners ride along with Duda in battered pickup trucks, fish "between jobs," look longingly at unfished famous rivers while touring with a country-punk band, and wonder how a fishing trip led to getting a tooth pulled while being surrounded by trash-talking friends. They will find beauty, discovery, heartbreak, good dogs, and the wonder of nature within the expanse of Northwest landscapes and beyond.

  The Economics of Urban...

  Urban transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping the economic, social, and environmental landscapes of cities. As populations grow and urban areas expand, the movement of people and goods becomes increasingly critical to maintaining economic vitality and quality of life. Urban transportation economics is the study of the costs and benefits associated with transportation systems, focusing on the ways in which these systems contribute to or detract from urban development. 
  At its core, urban transportation economics examines the interplay between infrastructure investments, operational costs, and the benefits derived from mobility and accessibility. Transportation systems enable individuals to commute to work, access essential services, and engage in social activities, while also facilitating the movement of goods that support local businesses and global trade. However, these benefits often come with significant costs, including financial expenses, environmental impacts, and social inequalities. Understanding this balance is crucial for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders who aim to design systems that maximize positive outcomes while minimizing negative externalities. 
  One of the key challenges in urban transportation economics is addressing the concept of externalities. Transportation systems often generate unintended consequences, such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise, which affect the broader community. These externalities can lead to market failures, where the true costs of transportation are not fully reflected in the prices users pay. Conversely, transportation systems can also produce positive externalities, such as increased economic activity and improved social cohesion, which are not always adequately valued. Striking a balance between these opposing forces is an essential component of transportation planning and policy.
