Sinopse

Drowned Lands explores the fascinating history of submerged lands and lost civilizations, examining the geological and cultural forces behind their disappearance beneath the sea. This book delves into how geological processes, like plate tectonics and sea-level fluctuations, contribute to the submergence of landmasses and human settlements. Intriguingly, Doggerland, once a vast area connecting Britain to continental Europe, now lies beneath the North Sea, demonstrating these powerful forces at work. The book uniquely blends earth sciences, history, and mythology to understand these drowned lands.

 
It progresses from introducing the concept of submerged landscapes to investigating geological forces, examining specific lost settlements like Port Royal, Jamaica, and analyzing related myths such as Atlantis.

 
By understanding past submergences, we can gain critical insights into the dynamic relationship between humanity and the environment, offering valuable lessons for navigating our changing world and informing coastal management strategies in the face of climate change and coastal erosion.

Cancer - A Very Short...

Nick James

In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
 
 
 
Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
 
 
 
In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.

40 Days & 40 Hikes - Loving the...

Nicola Ross

Travel the Bruce Trail in day hikes with Loops & Lattes author Nicola Ross 
		 
Best known for her detailed Loops & Lattes hiking guides, Nicola Ross has inspired tens of thousands of people to lace up their boots and explore Ontario’s trails. In 40 Days & 40 Hikes, this adventurer, author, and environmentalist sets herself a new challenge: to hike the Bruce Trail from Niagara to Tobermory in her own creative way. In 40 cleverly crafted day-loops, Ross covers over 900 kilometers mostly following Canada’s longest marked trail, taking you with her on an insightful journey to the Niagara Escarpment’s remarkable sights.
		 
As Ross walks, she reveals stories of the trail’s flora and fauna, geology and history. The Bruce Trail becomes the central character as she ponders her role in protecting the fragile corner of the planet that, she contends, is entwined in her DNA. Despite long days on the trail, encounters with bears, ticks, and a deadly derecho, her passion for her beloved Niagara Escarpment mounts as she explores Ontario’s “ribbon of wilderness.”
		 
Perfect for hikers, non-hikers, and anyone who loves an adventure, 40 Days & 40 Hikes is both a captivating travelogue and a useful companion for those who Ross will undoubtedly inspire to follow in her footsteps.

Drawing on interviews and classified documents, it presents a compelling case for the existence of extraterrestrial encounters and the cover-ups that have obscured the truth.
