Sinopse

Landslide Causes explores the multifaceted reasons behind landslides, examining the geological events that reshape landscapes and the strategies for prediction and prevention. These earth science events pose significant global risks, and the book delves into the interplay of geological, climatological, and human-induced factors. For example, while heavy rainfall is a well-known trigger, deforestation significantly exacerbates slope instability, increasing landslide frequency. The book uniquely integrates these factors into a holistic risk management framework, challenging traditional, isolated approaches.

 
Beginning with slope stability fundamentals, Landslide Causes progresses to investigate specific triggers like earthquakes and human activities through dedicated chapters. It then analyzes prediction and prevention methods, culminating in a discussion of integrated risk management and future research directions. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding valuable to students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in earth sciences, environmental science, and engineering.

Paleozoic Era The: The History...

Editors Charles River

The current view of science is that Earth is around 4.6 billion years old, and the first 4 billion years of its development are known as the Precambrian period. For the first billion years or so, there was no life in Earth. Then the first single-celled life-forms, early bacteria and algae, began to emerge. It’s unclear where they came from or even if they originated on this planet at all, but this gradual development continued until around four billion years ago when suddenly (in geological terms) more complex forms of life began to emerge.
Scientists call this time of an explosion of new forms of life the Paleozoic Era, and it stretched from around 541 to 250 million years ago. In the oceans and then on land, new creatures and plants began to appear in bewildering variety, and by the end of this period, life on Earth had diversified into a myriad of complex forms that filled virtually every habitat and niche available in the seas and on the planet’s only continent, Pangea.
The Precambrian Period is divided into three eons: the Hadean, the Archaean, and the Proterozoic. One layer of carbon in rocks that date to the Archaean Eon, found on islands west of Greenland, seems to have fossilized tracks that may have been left by some form of organic life, but scientists simply are not certain. The oldest confirmed remains of life date from the same eon and were found in rocks in Western Australia, which were found to contain fossilized bacteria estimated to be 3.46 billion years old. It seems likely that there were thousands, perhaps even millions of forms of life in these early periods, and most seem to have been microscopic in size and very simple in developmental terms.

If Your Mouth Could Talk - An...

Dr. Kami Hoss

You've heard the advice: If you want to live longer, eat healthy foods and exercise daily. But there's a third piece of the puzzle, and it can add ten to fifteen years to your life. 
 
 
 
It's been right under your nose this whole time—literally. 
 
 
 
Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways. 
 
   
  
Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now. 
 
 
  
In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hoss connects the dots between oral health and whole-body health, offering a roadmap to a longer, more successful future for you and your family. 
 
  
  
This isn't a book about brushing and flossing—or any of the advice you get from your dentist. Instead, you'll hear about how to protect your mouth's microbiome, the effect of diet, the relationship between oral structure and sleep problems, how to breathe better, and more. 
 
 
  
If your mouth could talk, it would tell you about the condition of your entire life. Time to start listening.
