Sinossi

"Surfing Waves" intricately blends the science and sport of surfing, offering insights into how waves are formed, how surfers master riding them, and what makes certain geographical locations ideal. The book highlights that understanding wave formation is about more than just luck; it's about grasping the complex interaction of wind, tides, and the ocean floor. For example, the book explores how specific coastal environments, shaped by unique geological features and climate patterns, create world-class surf breaks. 

 
The book progresses logically from basic wave physics to surfing techniques and surf geography, providing a comprehensive understanding of the sport. Readers will learn about essential skills like paddling and turning, as well as how different types of breaks, such as reef, point, and beach breaks, influence the surfing experience. 

 
Ultimately, "Surfing Waves" illustrates that successful surfing is a blend of athletic skill, scientific knowledge, and environmental awareness. This balanced approach makes it valuable for anyone interested in surfing or the earth sciences.

    A Road Running Southward -...

    In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. 
     
     
     
    A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

He explores the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to secret Serpent Cults, Investigates the secret hidden meaning of King Arthur and Robin Hood and examines the claimants to the name of Illuminati, and analyzes the history of the group in Europe and America. Gardiner reveals the secret links within the Vatican and the Nazi Party and looks in-depth at the white-powdered gold theory supposedly kept secret by orders throughout time and radically re-appraises it. He also shows the link between the so-called enlightenment experience and the control of our minds.

    The Conscience of Care -...

    Pitched battles over abortion, puberty blockers, and assisted suicide have turned American healthcare into a legal minefield. Faced with mounting restrictions on medical practice, doctors and nurses who follow their conscience to provide standard treatments risk being fined, fired, or even imprisoned, while clinicians who conscientiously deny evidence-based care are shielded without condition from any such consequences. Dov Fox argues that by ceding the moral vocabulary of conscience to refusers alone, the lopsided law of medical conscience selectively burdens providers, drives vulnerable patients underground, and impoverishes the dynamic pluralism of medicine.The Conscience of Care lays bare the broken system of medical conscience and sets out to fix it. Fox canvases a landscape of contested services that include IVF, IUDs, opioids, psychedelics, organ transplants, and advance directives. He develops practical reforms that rebalance conscience protection by introducing measured safeguards for providers and scaling back the categorical refuge afforded to refusers. The Conscience of Care articulates a bold vision of medicine that reclaims the lost promise of conscience to bridge social divides on matters of life and death, impairment and identity.
