Sinopsis

"Sky Holds Rivers" reveals the critical, yet often unseen, role of atmospheric rivers in our planet's environment, shaping weather patterns and influencing ecosystems. These airborne waterways profoundly impact the global water cycle, delivering essential rainfall to some regions while posing threats of flooding and landslides to others. It's intriguing to consider that the sky holds "rivers" of water vapor, impacting everything from daily weather to long-term climate trends. The book explores the formation, tracking, and environmental consequences of atmospheric rivers, highlighting how climate change is intensifying these weather events. Meteorologists use satellite imagery and radar systems to map these phenomena.

 
Divided into three parts, "Sky Holds Rivers" first introduces the concept, then examines monitoring technologies, and finally analyzes environmental and societal impacts. The book uses data from scientific research and real-time weather events to present a complete view of the Earth's system, focusing on the scientific understanding of atmospheric rivers and their impact. The unique value of "Sky Holds Rivers" lies in its accessible blend of scientific rigor and clear language, making complex concepts understandable for a broad audience interested in Environment, Earth Sciences Geography. By connecting atmospheric rivers to fields like hydrology, ecology, and disaster management, it provides a holistic perspective. The book also underscores the increasing need for improved climate forecasting and disaster preparedness due to the growing intensity of weather events.

    A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
     
    
    Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.
