Water Borne - A 1200-Mile Paddleboarding Pilgrimage

Dan Rubinstein

Summary

In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters.
		 
But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.
		 
Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.

Internet Marketing - Affiliate...

David Finstein

This bundle has 2 titles, which will all help you become a better marketer. The titles are: 
Affiliate Marketing - Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy in which businesses reward individuals, known as affiliates, for driving traffic or sales to their products or services. This model benefits both the merchant and the affiliate: the merchant gains exposure and potential sales, while the affiliate earns commissions based on their promotional efforts. Unlike traditional advertising, affiliate marketing offers affiliates the opportunity to earn income without creating their own products or services, making it an attractive and accessible business model. 
Digital Niche Marketing - By tailoring campaigns to resonate with these unique groups, brands can foster stronger connections, drive higher engagement, and establish themselves as trusted experts within a particular domain. This approach helps brands stand out in an oversaturated digital environment, where audiences are increasingly selective about what content they engage with and trust.

Celestial Bodies - Galaxies...

Steff Jaywan

This book consists of 3 titles, which are the following: 
Galaxies - Galaxies are dynamic entities, constantly evolving through processes like mergers, collisions, and interactions with neighboring galaxies. When galaxies merge, their stars, gas, and dust can undergo dramatic transformations, leading to the formation of new stars and restructuring of the galaxy's shape. These interactions can trigger intense bursts of star formation and feed supermassive black holes at the galaxies' centers, leading to the emission of powerful jets of radiation. 
Meteors - Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are remnants of comets or asteroids that orbit the Sun. When these objects cross Earth's path, they enter the atmosphere at high speeds, often exceeding 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour). As they travel through the atmosphere, the air resistance causes them to heat up and vaporize, creating the bright streaks of light we observe. 
Stellar Evolution - Stellar evolution refers to the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This field of astrophysics studies the formation, life, and death of stars, which involves a series of complex physical processes and transformations. Here, we outline the key stages and concepts in stellar evolution.
