Sinossi

Storm Surge Risks tackles the escalating threat of storm surges to coastal communities, a hazard intensified by climate change. The book explores the science behind these destructive events, their far-reaching impacts, and strategies for risk mitigation, emphasizing the need for proactive, science-informed approaches. Readers gain insights into how meteorological factors interact with ocean dynamics, and how coastal landforms influence surge propagation. The book uniquely integrates scientific rigor with practical applications, making it valuable for policymakers, coastal managers, and researchers alike.

 
The book is structured to build understanding progressively. It begins with the scientific principles of storm surge formation, moves to examining historical impacts and case studies, then delves into risk assessment and modeling techniques, including hydrodynamic modeling. The final section explores diverse mitigation strategies, from structural defenses to early warning systems.

 
By connecting storm surge risks to climate science, civil engineering, and urban planning, Storm Surge Risks broadens the discussion and strengthens proposed mitigation strategies.

    Building on the foundation laid by Moshe Feldenkrais, Thomas Hanna's groundbreaking work completely redefines the body's potential for withstanding decline. His gentle program for the mind and body proves once and for all that so many problems we accept as inevitable over time -- chronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue, and, at times, even high blood pressure -- need never occur if we maintain conscious control of nerve and muscle, replacing Sensory-Motor Amnesia  with Sensory-Motor Awareness. The good news of Somatic Exercise is that most people simply do not have to become captives of age or injury. Once learned, this lifelong program can help almost anyone maintain the pleasures of a supple, healthy body indefinitely, with only a five-minute routine once a day.

    We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways. 
     In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller. 
     We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too. 
     For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago? 
     And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today? 
     Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles? 
     There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect. 
     The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.

    Balancing Life and Caregiving with Love, Loss, and Resilience in a Moving Memoir 
    In the blink of an eye, Jonathan Knaul’s world shifted from high-stakes military test flights to the intricate dance of caring for his aging mother with dementia. 
    Faced with navigating his mother’s health decline while honoring her fierce independence, Jonathan found himself unprepared for the emotional and practical challenges ahead. As a decorated military test pilot, he was accustomed to split-second decisions, but caregiving demanded a different kind of courage and skill set. 
    Final Approach is more than a caregiving memoir—it’s a holistic guide taking readers from World War II history to end-of-life care to posthumous administration. Revealing intimate family stories from escaping Holocaust concentration camps to finding refuge in Canada, Jonathan expertly intertwines three generations’ hard-won lessons with career crossroads he faced to become a caregiver for his mother. Told through vivid storytelling with a keen eye on the realities of caregiving for loved ones, Final Approach arms readers with the knowledge and strategies you need to provide compassionate, effective care for your loved ones. 
    When you’re thrust into the role of a caregiver, balancing your own life with the needs of an ailing loved one can feel overwhelmingly impossible. Final Approach is an essential read for anyone facing the responsibility of caring for aging loved ones. This heartfelt and candid read will guide you through the turbulent skies of caregiving with compassion, rich stories, and practical advice. Read Final Approach and find the support and solutions you need to care for your loved ones.

    Memory flows like a river, and it is through its constant flow that we come into being.
    
    
    Twelve of our most exciting contemporary writers consider the subject of rivers and how they shape us throughout our lives, demarcating cities as well as moulding our creative consciousness.
    
    Tessa Hadley revisits Rumer Godden's The River; Jo Hamya pays homage to Virginia Woolf; Michael Malay goes nightfishing for eels along the River Severn; Marchelle Farrell revisits the tropical waterfalls of her childhood home in Trinidad; and Caleb Azumah Nelson is drawn to the Guadalquivir in Seville.
    
    Tender and astute, By the River explores the cultural, social and psychological significance of the rivers that run through our societies and our minds, bringing together writers in a celebration of water and its transformative qualities.
