Sinopsis

"Storm Legends" explores the intersection of meteorology, mythology, and history to reveal how ancient cultures interpreted and integrated real-world weather events into their storm narratives. By examining myths from regions like the Mediterranean, Mesoamerica, and East Asia, the book identifies the meteorological phenomena that likely inspired them, such as waterspouts mistaken for sea monsters or lightning storms attributed to divine rage. The study of these myths offers insights into early environmental awareness and challenges the notion of myths as purely imaginative creations, suggesting they also functioned as a form of early environmental record-keeping. The book uniquely integrates paleoclimatology data with cultural interpretations, providing a fact-based perspective on how specific weather patterns influenced storytelling. It begins by introducing core meteorological concepts and historical weather observations, then progresses geographically to analyze storm myths, identifying the meteorological phenomena behind them. By connecting Earth Sciences Geography, History World, and religious studies, "Storm Legends" provides a comprehensive understanding of humanity's historical relationship with extreme weather. The book demonstrates how these ancient stories can inform our understanding of current climate challenges.

Redefining the Boundaries of...

Paul Cerrato, John D. Halamka

Health care as it stands today needs to be re-imagined. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine by Paul Cerrato and Dr. John Halamka challenges the profession to renegotiate its priorities and address the fact that it’s become timid and reluctant to explore new care delivery models. The guiding premise of this book is that rethinking and reimagining the way medicine is practiced in the 21st century will improve health outcomes, and that technology is central to this transformation. Dr. Halamka is the President and Paul Cerrato is the Senior Research Analyst and Communications Specialist for Mayo Clinic Platform, which is harnessing novel technologies to change how care is provided. This cutting-edge work, along with their combined 80 years of experience in healthcare, afford Dr. Halamka and Mr. Cerrato authoritative voices in technology and health care. This book shows how one-size-fits-all health care is slowly giving way to a more precise, personalized approach that takes into account each person’s unique environmental and genetic risk factors. It discusses the use of several emerging technological tools that give each patient a unique “topographical map” to navigate their journey. Artificial intelligence in health care must be accurate, equitable and ethical; providers need to embrace a better way to predict diseases, identify effective treatments and rethink much of the conventional wisdom that has been handed down over the decades. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine provides the guide to doing just that.
