Sinossi

Lava Tubes Hide explores the fascinating subterranean world formed by molten rock, focusing on lava tubes as dynamic geological features with implications for earth sciences and even astrobiology. These subsurface channels, often found in volcanic landscapes like Hawaii, are more than just empty spaces; they are unique ecosystems and potential analogs for structures on other planets. Did you know that lava tubes can provide insights into volcanic activity and help assess geological hazards? The book delves into the formation of lava tubes, detailing the processes of lava flow dynamics and channelization. It examines the unique biological communities that thrive within these subterranean environments, highlighting the adaptations of cave-dwelling organisms. It also considers the implications of lava tube research for planetary geology, exploring the potential for similar features to exist on planets like Mars. This exploration progresses across chapters detailing geological processes, cave ecosystems, and planetary geology, bridging geology, geography, and biology for a comprehensive understanding. What sets Lava Tubes Hide apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining geological, biological, and planetary perspectives to reveal the hidden wonders beneath our feet and potentially, on other worlds.

Dividing Lines - How...

Deborah N. Archer

Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
 
 
 
As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
 
 
 
Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.
