Summary

Landslide Trigger Factors meticulously examines the geological and environmental elements culminating in catastrophic landslides. It emphasizes understanding geological predispositions like soil composition and rock structure, alongside environmental stressors, such as intense rainfall and seismic activity, to recognize early warning signs, and implement proactive safety measures. Did you know that deforestation and construction are anthropogenic influences that can destabilize already vulnerable slopes? The book uniquely bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application.

 
The book progresses through fundamental concepts of slope stability, geological factors predisposing landscapes to failure, and environmental triggers, quantifying their impact. A significant portion focuses on recognizing early warning signs like ground deformation and changes in groundwater levels. It draws from case studies across diverse regions and climatic zones, incorporating landslide inventories and remote sensing data.

 
It also addresses practical applications, including hazard mapping and risk assessment. The book's value lies in providing a comprehensive guide for professionals in Earth Sciences, Geography, and Environment to understand and manage landslide hazards effectively, connecting to fields like civil engineering and disaster management. For instance, civil engineers can use this information to design more stable infrastructure.

    From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

    A Universe of Earths - Our...

    Planet Earth has been a familiar concept for a mere fraction of recorded history. Until about the mid-1600s, most humans thought of Earth as immobile, likely either dim or simply invisible from the Moon or anywhere else in the heavens, and not (like the planets) participating in what Galileo called "the dance of the stars." A Universe of Earths retraces the exhilarating story of how all that changed, and how we came to perceive the Earth as a "wandering star."  It's a story that has vastly augmented and enriched our understanding of how Earth and its inhabitants fit into the big picture of the Cosmos.But almost as soon as humans started to grasp that Earth is a planet, many also began wondering if perhaps the other planets might be earths. This bold conjecture ignited the whole gripping history and literature of space travel, of extraterrestrials, of other worlds. And yet the thesis that the Universe is full of other worlds like Earth has from the start been fueled more by imagination than by scientific evidence. 
A Universe of Earths offers a surprising alternative to that "other worlds" account, one that releases humans not only from the pre-Copernican view of Earth as low, lowly, dark, a cosmic sump, but also from the persistent modern aspersion of Earth as cosmically ordinary, "mediocre," "dethroned."

    Every one of Earth's teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron 
 
 
 
Christopher Wills's claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.
