The book highlights the intricate karst landscapes shaped by millions of years of erosion, particularly in regions like Guilin, where dissolving rainwater has sculpted elaborate cave systems. It also delves into the rich history of human interaction with these caves, showcased through stunning Buddhist cave art found in places like the Mogao and Longmen Grottoes.

Beginning with an introduction to cave formation, it then transitions to the history of Buddhist art within the caves, tracing its origins and evolution in China. Finally, it explores the use of caves as settlements and defensive structures, concluding with a discussion on modern conservation efforts. This approach offers a holistic view of Chinese caves, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in travel, history, or the preservation of cultural heritage.

The Shocking Truth about Public...

Zoey Fraisers

Public transportation is often presented as the backbone of modern cities, a vital system that connects people to jobs, schools, and essential services. Advocates promote it as an affordable, eco-friendly, and efficient alternative to private vehicles, reducing congestion and improving urban mobility. Governments and transit agencies highlight its benefits, claiming it serves the public good while advancing sustainability goals. However, beyond the polished image of well-maintained buses, sleek trains, and promises of convenience, there lies a far more complicated and often troubling reality.  
  
The public is frequently told that mass transit is the key to reducing traffic and lowering pollution, yet many systems fail to deliver on these promises. Trains break down, buses run late, and commuters find themselves packed into overcrowded vehicles, often feeling unsafe. Meanwhile, taxpayers pour billions into these systems, only to see fare increases, service cuts, and poorly maintained infrastructure. The question arises: If public transportation is supposed to be a solution, why does it so often feel like a problem?  
  
Another significant issue is safety. Crime rates on buses, subways, and train platforms have become a growing concern, with riders facing theft, assault, and harassment. Many transit systems lack sufficient security measures, leaving passengers vulnerable. The psychological stress of commuting through unsafe environments can be overwhelming, particularly for women, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations. Despite these risks, officials frequently downplay crime statistics, insisting that public transit remains a safe option.

Adult survivors - understanding...

John Range

Experiencing abuse and neglect in childhood can lead to adverse outcomes in adulthood. 
Adult survivors of untreated child abuse often suffer a range of long-term detrimental effects that adversely affect their functioning in numerous areas of their lives. Unfortunately, the enduring impact of chronic abuse in childhood is not well understood. This book is focused on increasing understanding of the long-term effects of traumatic childhood experiences from both psychological and physiological perspectives. Additionally, this book explores whether pathology frequently seen in adult survivors is a direct or secondary effect of their abuse. Along with scientific and theoretical text-based data, solicited written narratives by an adult survivor of childhood physical, sexual, and psychological abuse are analyzed utilizing hermeneutic methodology with elements of grounded theory to discover relevant connections between the fields of neuroscience, memory research, attachment theory, and trauma research. The relevance of findings of the diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is discussed, and the implications for clinical practice are explored.
