Summary

Alpine Cattle Drives explores the enduring tradition of transhumance, or seasonal livestock movement, in mountain regions, particularly the Alps and Andes. This practice, deeply rooted in history and cultural heritage, reveals intricate connections between agricultural practices and environmental sustainability. One intriguing insight is how these communities adapt to modern challenges like climate change, showcasing resilience. The book argues that understanding transhumance is vital for preserving both the cultural fabric of mountain communities and the ecological integrity of these environments, offering lessons for contemporary sustainable development and biodiversity conservation.

 
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating earth sciences, geography, history, and anthropology to provide a holistic view. It examines social structures, economic drivers, and ecological impacts, using historical records, ethnographic studies, and firsthand accounts. By comparing transhumance in the Alps and Andes, the study highlights both common threads and unique regional variations. This detailed approach emphasizes local knowledge and advocates for integrated, sustainable mountain development.

These things led to the establishment of the largest privately-held collection of osteological pieces in the world; a place where science displays are more like works of art ... capturing the attention of every eye that lands upon them, and telling a profound story without uttering a single word. 
I'm Richard Jacobs. A casual trip with my family to a bone museum sparked a number of observations that I found too intriguing not to share.

How To Make It In Nursing As A...

Patrice M Foster

Are you a man looking to get into nursing and do not know how to?
Do you wish to understand just what it takes to become a nurse in a female-dominated field?
If so, then you have come to the right place.
This book will usher you into the world of being a male nurse and thriving at it!
For a better part of the last decade, nursing has been considered a female domain, with men being looked at as anomalies in the field. The view that men cannot make good nurses has thus led to widespread stereotypes of men who get into the field. Men in nursing are generally often viewed with suspicion, with people even questioning their sexual orientation.
However, as you will learn in this book, nursing had originally been a field meant for men. During the old periods up until the 19thcentury, large-scale caregiving was a role that was meant for men. Thus, this already defeats the stereotype that men lack the necessary temperament to get into nursing.
Furthermore, men who get into nursing consider it the most fulfilling profession that they could choose and simply want to care for people.
So, perhaps you may be wondering…
Why is it hard for men to get into nursing?
What are some of the challenges male nurses face in the profession?
How do female nurses react to and treat their male colleagues?
What are male nurses doing to change the negative perception of men in the field?
What does the future hold for male nurses?
If these and many questions are bothering you, then this is the book that answers them and more, as it covers the ins and outs of becoming a male nurse and how to make the best of it.

Hothouse Earth - An Inhabitant's...

Bill McGuire

'It's a paradox but this was one of the most chilling books I've read this year. It's the definitive guide to where we're heading' ANTHONY HOROWITZ


'The Earth is already in a dangerous phase of heating. Many scientists admit privately to actually being "scared" by recent weather extremes. But the public doesn't like pessimism, so we environment journalists hint at future optimism. This book provides a more steely-eyed view on how we can cope with a hothouse world.' - ROGER HARRABIN, former BBC Environment Analyst


'This accessible and authoritative book is a must-read for anyone who still thinks it could be OK to carry on as we are for a little bit longer, or that climate chaos might not affect them or their kids too badly.' MIKE BERNERS-LEE is a professor at Lancaster University, founder of Small World Consultancy and author of There is No Planet B: A Handbook for the Make or Break Years


'If you read just one book about the menace of climate breakdown, make it this one.' - TIM RADFORD, Climate News Network


We inhabit a planet in peril. Our once temperate world is locked on course to become a hothouse entirely of our own making.

Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant's Guide provides a post-COP26 perspective on the climate emergency, acknowledging that it is now practically impossible to keep this side of the 1.5°C dangerous climate change guardrail. The upshot is that we can no longer dodge the arrival of disastrous, all-pervasive, climate breakdown that will come as a hammer blow to global society and economy.


Bill McGuire, Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards, explains the science behind the climate crisis and for the first time presents a blunt but authentic picture of the sort of world our children will grow old in, and our grandchildren grow up in; a world that we catch only glimpses of in today's blistering heatwaves, calamitous wildfires and ruinous floods and droughts. Bleak though it is, the picture is one we must all face up to, if only to spur genuine action - even at this late stage - to stop a harrowing future becoming a truly cataclysmic one.
