Beschreibung

Tides Boost Ecosystems explores the crucial role of tides in shaping coastal ecosystems like salt marshes and mangrove forests. Tides aren't just a backdrop; they're essential drivers, delivering vital nutrients and removing waste, directly impacting biodiversity. These dynamic ecosystems depend on the rhythmic ebb and flow, influencing the physical environment and supporting a wide array of plant and animal life. For example, the book highlights how tidal patterns affect nutrient cycling, sediment transport, and the distribution of plant and animal communities. The book emphasizes that understanding these tidal influences is critical for effective coastal management and conservation, especially with rising sea levels. Presenting information accessibly, it starts with an overview of tidal dynamics before delving into the ecological specifics, bridging oceanography, ecology, and conservation biology. It progresses from basic tidal science, explaining gravitational forces and tidal patterns, to specific impacts on salt marshes and mangroves, concluding with strategies for mitigating human impacts and promoting sustainable management.

    A mind–bending but brilliantly accessible exploration of the shifting science behind the reality of time. 
     
    What is Now? This immediate moment, what we're experiencing right now . . . it bathes us like air, or gravity. Yet when we try to grasp this quality, to scrutinize it or bring it into focus, it vanishes, slipping through our fingers like a dream. And worse, according to the most trusted models of physics, Now doesn't even exist. If all this is so, then what, exactly, are we experiencing? How do we carve out time, sensation, self, and meaning from a blank, Now–less canvas? 
     
    In In Search of Now, award–winning science writer Jo Marchant attempts to answer these questions with characteristic flair and clarity, taking us on a grand tour of the latest thinking from physics, neuroscience, cosmology, and psychiatry about the fundamental essence and individual experience of time. Part personal journey, part philosophical meditation, and above all a fascinating scientific exploration, In Search of Now shows us what we can learn about time, both from the outside in—the cosmic perspective of physics—and as we experience it, from the inside out.

    Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
     
     
     
    North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.
