Synopsis

Glacier Changes examines the alarming rate at which glaciers are retreating, particularly in the Arctic and Antarctic, and its profound effects on our planet. It highlights how glacial meltwater contributes significantly to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities and disrupting marine ecosystems. The book emphasizes that glacial retreat is not just a symptom of climate change but a catalyst for larger environmental transformations.

 
The book utilizes scientific data, including satellite imagery and field measurements, to illustrate the changes in glacier mass balance across different regions. It explores the factors driving glacial melt, such as atmospheric and oceanic warming, and analyzes the cascading effects on various systems, from ocean salinity to polar bear populations. By connecting glacial changes to broader impacts on oceanography, ecology, and social sciences, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of this pressing environmental issue.

 
This Earth Sciences Geography, Environment focused work begins by establishing the role of glaciers within the Earth’s climate system, then systematically unfolds to examine the specific changes happening, and finally discusses potential mitigation and adaptation strategies. It offers a balanced view of the situation and encourages readers to participate in shaping a sustainable future, focusing on informing coastal planning, guiding climate change adaptation strategies and promoting sustainable practices.

    Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. As he gets older, he disappears into the woods at night, drawn to animal life. One night, an encounter with a deer changes his life: from then on, he knows he wants to live among them. 
     
     
     
    Delorme becomes a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for food. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him. He witnesses their births and deaths, courtship and battles, ostracism and friendship over the cycles of their lives. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature. 
     
     
     
    In his final year in the forest, Delorme meets a woman walking through the trees. He knows he can stay in the forest and die with his friends—or he can leave and speak their truth to a human world. 
     
     
     
    Deer Man is a moving story of what it's like to be an outsider and how forming connections with the natural world can help us feel less alone. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, Deer Man asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.

    A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
     
     
      
    The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
     
     
      
    In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.
