Sinopsis

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.

    Great Lakes for Sale - From...

    “Lake Michigan may be coming to Idaho.” 
    That’s what an Idaho radio commentator said in June 2021. Holding approximately 20% of the world’s surface freshwater, the Great Lakes are once again a target for the drought-ridden West, which is facing climate change, massive fires, and shrinking water supplies. And in a potentially far bigger threat, Wall Street is creating markets that could lead to the trading of freshwaters as a commodity like corn or oil. The Great Lakes are in danger of becoming privately exploited on a large scale by those who have priorities other than stewardship. 
    In the updated edition of Great Lakes for Sale, author Dave Dempsey offers surprising, even controversial, ideas on how to prevent the fulfillment of this nightmare scenario. They include attacking water commercialization, curbing abuse of the Great Lakes Compact, and devising plans for limited sharing of the Great Lakes to forestall humanitarian disasters. If the Great Lakes are to remain great, new thinking and action will be required.

    Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history 
     
     
     
    Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet takes listeners on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players—the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames—through to the significance of shareware for the "forgotten" systems—the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga—when commercial game publishers turned away from them. 
     
     
     
    This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian), or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart), or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.
