Summary

Tides and Climate explores the overlooked influence of tidal motions on our planet's climate and marine life. It examines how tides redistribute vital elements like heat and nutrients throughout the oceans, ultimately impacting weather patterns and supporting marine ecosystems.

 
The book argues that tidal forcing is a fundamental driver of ocean circulation and climate variability, challenging existing climate models that often simplify these influences. For instance, tidal processes affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a major player in global heat distribution.

 
The book begins by laying the groundwork in tidal dynamics before expanding on the role of tides in vertical mixing and nutrient transport. It also examines how tidal currents interact with the ocean floor to produce internal waves and turbulence, which in turn enhance heat transfer.

 
It progresses by exploring the implications of tidal influences on regional and global climate projections, emphasizing the need for improved representation of tidal processes in climate models. By synthesizing observational data, numerical simulations, and theoretical models, Tides and Climate presents a holistic view of the complex interactions between tides, climate, and marine ecosystems.

    Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

    A revision of the definitive reference, containing plant characteristics, distribution, and medicinal qualities, an updated taxonomy, and fifteen new species.   The Field Guide to Medicinal Wild Plants is the ultimate handbook for identifying and using wild plants for medicinal purposes. This illustrated guide to North American wild medicinals has been a nature classic for over thirty years. In this second edition, David K. Foster revises Bradford Angier's invaluable reference, updating the taxonomy and adding more than a dozen species, including the purple coneflower, popularly known as echinacea, as well as ephedra, jewelweed, goldenseal, and more. Scientific information for a general audience and full-color illustrations combine with intriguing accounts of the plants’ uses, making this a practical guide for anyone interested in the medicinal uses of wild plants.

    In old times, number theory was also known as arithmetic. However, now arithmetic and number theory are considered as separate branches from each other’s, it was not same in old times. Number theory is one of the many important branches of pure mathematics. This branch is mainly dedicated and includes study about integers. This theory describes many fundamental and basic concepts of mathematics that were used to develop modern concepts. Thus, number theory is often referred as “Queen of Mathematics”. In number theory, following concepts are described:Concept of prime numbersProperties of objects that are derived through integersGeneralization of integers 
    Rational numbers and algebraic integers are significant concepts that are included in number theory. In number theory, integers are considered as a solution to a particular problem. This concept is known as Riemann Zeta Function. However, it is not necessary to consider them as solution only; they can also be considered in themselves. Study of analytical objects helps to understand questions in number theory. Properties of integers, prime numbers and number-theoretic objects are described in Riemann Zeta Function. These properties can be studied descriptively in a separated branch named analytic number theory. In Diophantine approximation, real numbers are learnt in ration to relational number. 
    In older terms, arithmetic was used to refer number theory. However, it was separated in early 20th century. Arithmetic word is now used to refer to general elementary calculations. Term arithmetic is now used in many fields such as:Mathematical logicPeano arithmeticComputer scienceFloating point arithmetic 
    In late 20th century, French theorists leaved a noticeable impact on number theory. Due to their influence, they again related tern arithmetic with number theory. However, many theorists argued upon this and denied to accept this as it was already proven false in past time. However, term arithmetical is now considered as adjective to number-theoretic. Early 20th century was a golden time for development of number theory, especially the time span of 1930s and 1940s. Many important results were acquired in that period. Later on, 1970s was proven an important period as well with the development of computational complexity theory. 
    Number theory is an important branch of pure mathematics since it contains many basic concepts that are used to build up complex concepts of pure mathematics. One who is looking for a breakthrough in broad term mathematics is suggested to start from this theory. It will clear up basic concepts so it will be surprisingly easy to understand complex concepts. This short book describes all the basic concepts without going in too deep. So, one can use this basic knowledge to understand complex concepts easily and effectively.

    The information in this ebook on various aspects of using the Internet to your advantage is organised into 20 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line. In fact, the number of people trying to make (some extra) money online has skyrocketed over the last ten or twelve years, but especially since the Covid-19 lockdowns. 
    Not everything can be blamed on Covid-19 though. Britain, for example, has suffered twelve years of ‘austerity’ brought in by a government that seems no longer to care about the electorate. First they blamed the banking crisis; then the influx of foreign labour; then Covid; and now Brexit and the war in the Ukraine. No doubt you have heard similar excuses where you live. Anyway, the result has been exorbitant inflation and a reduction in wages, and that has led to enterprising people trying improve their situation by working online. This book is for you. I hope that it helps.
