Synopsis

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.

    Discover the Lost Secrets of the Ancients and the Time When Stones Floated High over Egypt   Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn’t take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials?How Antigravity Built the Pyramids delves into specific stories and theories: A 9th-century story of a mysterious papyrus with the power to move large stones at the Giza Necropolis  The Mayan story of the construction of the Pyramid of the Magician said to be overseen by a small humanoid who could whistle large stones into place  Native American stories of ancient priests being able to make stones light to move easily    Author Nick Redfern argues it was not literally music and whistling that somehow raised large stones, but both have one thing in common: sound. Acoustics. Almost certainly, acoustic levitation was at the heart of these incredible feats. The truth of the science behind acoustic levitation was lost and forgotten for ages with little more left than fanciful tales of music, whistles, a curious papyrus, and strange metal rods that could achieve incredible feats in the air. Today, we are finally starting to get a grasp on this incredible technology, a technology that may have been the work of ancient humans, aliens from faraway worlds—or, perhaps, a combination of the two.

    SWEET SPOT UX 
    This book will help you, the UX designer, develop a communication style that your business stakeholders or clients will understand, and elevate your career towards 
    better UX strategy and leadership. 
    This is not your typical UX book — it doesn’t focus on the things they teach you in a UX crash course. It won’t bombard you with a whole load of new techniques or preach about how to do UX design properly. What it will do is help you find ways to apply your craft more effectively inside your business by understanding better ways of communicating and building alignment within your organisation, or your client’s organisation. 
    WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? 
    Often, the hardest part of UX isn’t knowing how to do the various methods — you can learn that stuff easily with little effort — it is taking the business you work for, and its stakeholders, on the journey to help them fully realise the value that UX brings. This book collects strategies and techniques from other UX professionals, combined with my own learnings and expertise, to guide you to a better UX practice of alignment between you, your business and its customers.

    From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
     
     
     
    Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.

    Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon's tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet?
    In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people's hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!).
    Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee's own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain.
    PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!
