Summary

Permafrost Melting explores the escalating crisis of thawing permafrost in Arctic landscapes and its profound implications for global climate stability.As temperatures rise, the permafrost thaw unleashes significant quantities of previously trapped organic carbon, almost doubling the amount currently in the atmosphere.This process accelerates greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide and methane, creating a dangerous feedback loop that amplifies global warming.The book connects environment, earth sciences, and geography to provide a comprehensive understanding of this planetary-scale event.

 
The book investigates the biogeochemical processes driving greenhouse gas release, visible impacts like thermokarst formation and coastal erosion, and the resulting social and economic consequences for Arctic communities.Drawing upon field observations, remote sensing data, and climate models, the book examines how permafrost thaw affects the carbon cycle.

 
It progresses from introducing permafrost composition and distribution to analyzing thaw dynamics and culminates with mitigation strategies and policy recommendations, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers.

Malaria is spread by mosquitos?

Ulick Stafford

We all know that malaria is an infectious disease spread by mosquitos. Female Anopheles mosquitos spread the infection, a microorganism called a plasmodium, when taking a blood meal. But as the quotation often attributed to Mark Twain says “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so”. 
Malaria remains a serious illness in many parts of the world, blamed for 600,000 deaths per year. In this book Ulick Stafford investigates evidence about the mosquito-plasmodium hypothesis for its transmission and other potential causes or contributory factors. He looks at the early history of the illness. He reports on the early research of Laveran, Ross and Grassi who developed the accepted transmission story. The potential collateral damage caused by current treatment and prevention programmes are discussed. The contributory  effects of other factors, in particular malnutrition are introduced.

Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle is available as an audiobook.Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night.From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.A Macmillan Audio production from MCD Books.
