Synopsis

Parks and Climate examines the profound effects of climate change on national parks and explores adaptive management strategies for their preservation. As iconic representations of natural heritage, these parks serve as bellwethers of broader environmental change, offering insights into global ecological shifts.

 
The book delves into how rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are reshaping park ecosystems, impacting everything from glacial melt in mountain parks to shifts in species distribution.

 
The book investigates the vulnerabilities of diverse park environments and presents adaptive techniques, such as habitat restoration and species translocation, essential for protecting park resources. It highlights the need for a shift from reactive conservation to proactive adaptation, emphasizing the importance of scientific understanding in mitigating climate change's adverse effects.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the fundamental relationship between climate and park ecosystems, then explores specific climate change impacts.

 
Ultimately, this book offers a solutions-oriented framework, combining scientific analysis with practical management recommendations for protecting national parks in a rapidly changing world. It emphasizes the intersection of environmental science, environmental policy, and geography and highlights the importance of integrating conservation with community development and sustainable tourism.

Self-Defense - A Myth-Busting...

Daniel M. Davis

A world-renowned scientist offers a much-needed analysis of what it takes to have good immune health—helping readers navigate what can really help, what is a complete myth, and why.Does orange juice help ward off colds? And how does our age affect our ability to recover from one? When it comes to immunity, are we really what we eat? Or how much we eat? We are surrounded by big questions and big claims about enhancing our immune systems, so how do we tell the fiction from the facts? And, ultimately, what can we do to reduce our chances of getting sick? World-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis offers answers in this authoritative, highly accessible, myth-busting guide to the effects of stress, age, exercise, weight, nutrition, sleep, vaccines, and mental health on our immune health. Taking us to the cutting edge of immunology research and explaining both what we know and how we know it, Self-Defense helps readers spot phony claims and make informed choices. Davis shows us that everyone’s immune system is entirely unique, and that’s why we should be wary of one-size-fits-all “cures.” We learn how exercise, for example, has all sorts of different, even opposing, short- and long-term effects on our immune health. And while our gut microbes are vitally important, it’s unlikely that yogurt drinks can really boost your immune system to stop you getting ill. An eye-opening window into some of the astonishing possibilities for the future, when it comes to distinguishing bogus and beneficial health claims about everything from vitamin D to inflammation and cancer therapies, Davis’s book may be your best self-defense.

Made in the USA - The Rise and...

Vaclav Smil

In Made in the USA, Vaclav Smil powerfully rebuts the notion that manufacturing is a relic of predigital history and that the loss of American manufacturing is a desirable evolutionary step toward a pure service economy. Smil argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates. 
 
 
  
Smil explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance. He describes American manufacturing's rapid rise at the end of the nineteenth century, its consolidation and modernization between the two world wars, its role as an enabler of mass consumption after 1945, and its recent decline. Some economists argue that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little because the high-value work remains in the United States. But, asks Smil, do we want a society that consists of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed? 
 
 
  
Smil assesses various suggestions for solving America’s manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education. Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? It is crucial to our social and economic well-being; but, Smil warns, the odds are no better than even.

Mathematical Physics - Advanced...

Mark Hedges

Mathematical physics serves as the foundation for expressing and solving physical problems using rigorous mathematical structures and techniques. The discipline of mathematical physics bridges the gap between abstract mathematical theories and physical phenomena, providing a formal framework through which the laws of nature are defined, analyzed, and interpreted. The foundations of mathematical physics rest on several key mathematical structures, including calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and complex analysis. These mathematical tools are essential for formulating physical theories, predicting experimental outcomes, and uncovering deeper insights into the nature of the physical world. 
One of the fundamental mathematical tools in physics is calculus, which provides the framework for describing the motion of objects, the behavior of fields, and the change of physical quantities over time and space. Newton and Leibniz independently developed the principles of differential and integral calculus, which allowed for the precise formulation of classical mechanics and gravitation. Differential calculus deals with rates of change and slopes of curves, which are essential in defining velocity, acceleration, and force. Integral calculus, on the other hand, is used to calculate areas under curves and accumulated quantities, such as work and potential energy.
