It’s a story of survival, resilience, and the search for peace, filled with unexpected twists and moments of profound reflection.

  Cornerstone at the Confluence -...

  Signed on November 24, 1922, the Colorado River Compact is body of laws colloquially called the "Law of the River" that governs how human beings use water from the river system dubbed the "American Nile." No fewer than forty million people have come to rely on the Colorado River system in modern times—a system immersed in an unprecedented, unrelenting megadrought for more than two decades. Attempting to navigate this "new normal," policymakers are negotiating new management rules for the river system, a process coinciding with the compact's centennial that must be completed by 2026. 
   
   
   
  Animated by this remarkable confluence of events, Cornerstone at the Confluence leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader "Law of the River" to envision the future. It is a volume inviting dialogue about how the river system's flows should be apportioned given climate change, what should be done about environmental issues such as ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection, and how long-standing issues of water justice facing Native American communities should be addressed. 
   
   
   
  These topics touch on the concept of "equity" embedded within the compact—a concept that tees up what is perhaps the foundational question confronted by Cornerstone at the Confluence: Who should have a seat at the table of Colorado River governance?

  Rheumatology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that impact the musculoskeletal system. Rheumatologists play a crucial role in managing these conditions, often working alongside other specialists to provide comprehensive care. The field has evolved significantly over time, with advancements in research leading to better treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes. 
  The history of rheumatology dates back centuries, though early physicians lacked a clear understanding of joint diseases. In ancient times, conditions such as gout and arthritis were recognized, but treatments were largely ineffective. The field gained scientific recognition in the 20th century with the identification of autoimmune mechanisms underlying many rheumatic diseases. The development of imaging techniques, laboratory tests, and targeted therapies has transformed rheumatology into a more precise and effective medical discipline. Today, research continues to uncover new insights into the genetic, environmental, and immunological factors that contribute to these conditions.

  This book contains three titles: 
  - Celestial Conundrums: Dark matter, a mysterious and invisible substance, remains one of the most profound puzzles in modern astrophysics. Despite being undetectable by conventional means, its presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe. Comprising roughly 27% of the universe’s total mass-energy content, dark matter far outweighs the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and galaxies. However, scientists have yet to identify its true nature. 
  - Cosmic Construction: The concept of interstellar megaprojects has long captured the imagination of visionaries and scientists alike. Initially, these ideas resided in the realm of science fiction, where vast space-faring civilizations would design and build monumental structures to harness the power of stars or travel across galaxies. 
  - The Top 5 Most Persuasive Alien Abduction Accounts: For centuries, humanity has looked to the stars with wonder and curiosity, speculating about the existence of life beyond our planet. While astronomers and scientists seek concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life, a different kind of proof has captured the public's imagination: alien abduction accounts. These extraordinary stories, often dismissed as fantasy or delusion, have sparked debates that straddle the line between science, psychology, and the unexplained.

  Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson
