Sinopse

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.

  • Practice the Pause - Jesus' Contemplative Practice New Brain Science and What It Means to Be Fully Human - cover

    Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

    These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
     
     
     
    But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
     
     
     
    In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.

    A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping 
     
     
      
    No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation's economic output. 
     
     
      
    Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans' journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses.

    In this 2025 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Lonny Shavelson, M.D., a national leader in medical aid in dying, reframes it as compassionate end-of-life care rooted in honest conversation, emotional support, and patient choice. He dispels myths equating it with suicide, explains safeguards against coercion, and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary, whole-person care. 
     Dr. Shavelson is a California physician best known as a national leader in medical aid in dying for terminally ill patients. Dr Shavelson worked for nearly three decades as an emergency department physician in Berkeley, California, and later served as a primary care doctor in a clinic for immigrants and refugees. He's a founder and Board Chair of the Academy of Medical Aid-In-Dying, where he helps develop best practices, clinician education, and policy in this emerging field. He has also consulted widely with hospitals, ethics committees, and state efforts to implement aid-in-dying laws. He is the author of A Chosen Death (Simon & Schuster 1995) and Medical Aid In Dying: A Guide For Patients And Their Supporters (American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying, 2022)
