Sinopse

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.

The Second History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
The Second History of Man focuses mostly on bacteria and bacterial infections as the foundation, jumping off into Darwin and evolution, gin & tonics and the discovery of the first antibiotic to treat infection (and it wasn’t penicillin), visiting with those clever chaps who cook up drugs in the lab. We’ll call upon poets & poetry, celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Bobby Darin, the classical music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the tragic story of World War II, Anne Frank and the Holocaust, tuberculosis, and a few of the rich & famous who suffered from TB, travelling back in time to the Black Death which wiped out 25 percent of humans on Earth, exploring the origins of a salon and a saloon, Columbus and the Age of Discovery, the lost generations of childhood, ending with the invention of the Internet.

Facing America's Greatest Enemy

Rich Germaine

"Facing America's Greatest Enemy" by Rich Germaine delves into the pervasive issue of apathy within American society, exploring its historical roots, psychological underpinnings, and extensive impact on various facets of life. The book opens with a compelling introduction that frames apathy and indifference as a silent yet formidable adversary threatening the foundations of democracy and societal progress. Germaine traces the emergence of apathy from post-revolutionary disinterest to contemporary political indifference, emphasizing how crises and prosperity alike have fostered disengagement.
Germaine provides historical examples, such as the rise of Nazi Germany and the low voter participation in recent U.S. elections, to underscore the dire consequences of public disengagement.
In the digital age, the paradox of connectivity is examined, where social media's potential to mobilize is countered by the overwhelming influx of information, leading to 'slacktivism'—a superficial form of engagement. The manuscript also addresses the role of education in combating apathy, advocating for curricula that foster critical thinking, empathy, and active citizenship.
Parental apathy is explored as a significant factor in children's moral and educational development, highlighting the need for active parental involvement despite modern challenges. The author also incorporates a biblical worldview, urging Christians to act against apathy through faith-driven engagement and community building.
Concluding with actionable steps, calling for a collective commitment to rekindle civic engagement and counter the inertia threatening American self-government. This comprehensive exploration offers a roadmap for individuals and communities to overcome apathy and foster a more involved, empathic, and active society.

In Deep Waters - Spiritual Care...

Talitha Amadea Aho

The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. 
 
 
 
But, observes Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability. They see the world through crisis-colored glasses. Climate change is creating a spiritual emergency that is hitting their generation harder than any other. 
 
 
 
Today's climate crisis calls people of faith to a communal spiritual practice of care, especially for those who are more vulnerable because of their youth—the children, youth, and young adults of Generation Z. We must learn how to offer spiritual care that is informed by the spiritual-ecological crisis of their generation. 
 
 
 
This book will help you keep young people at the center of your community and listen to the troubles they have to share. Whether you are a Gen Z peer or a caring adult of any other generation, In Deep Water will show you how to offer ecologically informed spiritual care. 
 
 
 
We all need to do it today; we cannot wait until one of today's youngest generations grows up.
