Synopsis

Megatsunami Evidence Chain explores the possibility of colossal mega-wave events in Earth's history, far exceeding typical tsunamis. It investigates geological deposits, underwater landslides, and unique coastal formations as potential proof of these events. The book argues that existing historical records may underestimate coastal hazard risks. For instance, the study of displaced boulders far inland can indicate the immense power of past waves.

 
The book progresses by first laying out the theoretical framework for mega-tsunami generation, differentiating them from regular tsunamis. It then dedicates sections to each line of evidence: geological deposits, underwater landslides, and coastal formations. Case studies from around the globe illustrate the methods used to identify and interpret this evidence. The book uniquely synthesizes evidence from diverse sources, offering a holistic perspective on these potential events.

 
Did you know that computer simulations of wave propagation are used to understand how these waves may have behaved?

 
The book concludes by discussing the implications for future coastal hazard management and risk assessment. Understanding the scale and frequency of past mega-waves is vital for coastal communities. The book connects to climate science, disaster management, and engineering, emphasizing the need for realistic design parameters for coastal defenses.

    The evolution of chiropractic practices reflects a broader trend towards integrating alternative and complementary therapies into mainstream healthcare, emphasizing a more holistic and patient-centered approach. 
    Evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare, including chiropractic care, involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to make informed decisions about patient care. This approach aims to ensure that treatments and interventions are effective, safe, and tailored to individual patient needs. 
      
    EBP relies on three main components: the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values. The best available research evidence refers to high-quality, peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials that provide reliable data on the effectiveness and safety of various treatments and interventions. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are particularly valuable as they synthesize findings from multiple studies, offering a comprehensive overview of the evidence. 
      
    Clinical expertise encompasses the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals in interpreting research evidence and applying it to individual patient cases. It involves understanding the nuances of different conditions, recognizing which treatments are most appropriate, and adapting interventions based on patient responses.

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.

    'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS 
    'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR 
    What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome? 
    Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey. 
    For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head. 
    He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments. 
    This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all. 
    Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients. 
    For fans of Viktor E. Frankl (Embracing Hope), Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Benji Waterhouse (You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here), Zindel V. Segal (The Self In Emotional Distress), and James Clear (Atomic Habits).
