Sinossi

Snow Erosion Effects explores the significant role of snow in shaping landscapes, an often underestimated force in Earth Sciences. It examines how snow, through processes like nivation and freeze-thaw weathering, directly erodes land. The book also investigates how snow modifies the impact of other erosional agents, such as water and wind, influencing everything from landslide susceptibility to the redirection of wind patterns. This comprehensive analysis is unique in its holistic approach, integrating diverse research strands to illustrate the complex interactions between snow, water, wind, and landforms. For example, snow cover can amplify freeze-thaw weathering, leading to increased erosion rates in cold regions.

 
The book progresses by first defining key terms and outlining the physical properties of snow, then detailing the direct erosive power of snow, how snow modifies other erosion-causing agents, and finally examining current modeling techniques and their limitations.

 
Targeted at students and professionals in geography, environmental science, and related fields, the book draws from field observations, experimental studies, and numerical modeling to provide a thorough understanding of snow's multifaceted impact on landscape evolution. It also discusses the implications of snow erosion in the context of climate change, land management, and natural hazard mitigation.

    When a young girl, Cardy Raper told her mother, "When I grow up I want to be a scientist and make grand discoveries!" Her mother responded, "You could become a nurse." Science was a man's world then. Cardy refused to take "no" for an answer.   Her dream seemed attainable when she met her mentor, Professor John "Red" Raper at the University of Chicago who said "Yes, you can be a scientist!" They became soul mates, fell in love, married, parented children, moved to Harvard, and did research together on the versatile sex life of fungi.  Red's untimely death left Cardy alone in the competitive world of cuttingedge science. She carried on, obtained a doctoral degree, learned the techniques of molecular genetics, and established her own laboratory where she conducted pioneering research on the genetic and molecular determinants of sexual reproduction in a mushroombearing fungus with 20,000 different sexes. This fungus has served as a model organism for exploring the way in which sensing molecules, such as pheromones, function to communicate in more complex organisms.

    Pandemics - A Very Short...

    The 2014 Ebola epidemic demonstrated the power of pandemics and their ability not only to destroy lives locally but also to capture the imagination and terrify the world. In 2019 and the years that followed, the coronavirus pandemic infected every continent and took the lives of millions. In this updated edition, Christian W. McMillen provides a concise yet comprehensive account of pandemics throughout human history, illustrating how pandemic disease has shaped history and, at the same time, social behavior has influenced pandemic disease.This Very Short Introduction describes history's major pandemics. McMillen discusses state responses to pandemics, such as quarantine, isolation, travel restrictions, and other forms of social control, and pays special attention to the rise of public health and the explosion of medical research in the wake of pandemics, especially as the germ theory of disease emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today, medicine is able to control all of these diseases, yet some of them are still devastating in much of the developing world. By assessing the relationship between poverty and disease and the geography of epidemics, McMillen offers an outspoken and thought-provoking point of view on the necessity for global governments to learn from past experiences and cooperate to prevent any future epidemic.

    The immune system is central to human health. Growing understanding of the immune system, and especially the creation of immune memory (which results in long lasting protection), have led to major breakthroughs in medicine and the design of vaccines.In this Very Short Introduction, Paul Klenerman describes the immune system, and how it works in health and disease. He considers how the immune system evolved, the basic rules that govern its behavior, and the major health threats where it is important. Paul Klenerman also explains how things can go wrong when there is too little or too much immunity. The book also addresses what we learned about the immune system from the COVID-19 pandemic and how that has influenced thinking about future pandemics.
