Synopsis

"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.

    Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated world 
     
     
     
    As our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it's no wonder that our ability to be heard and understood—to convey our messages—is also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often "multicommunicating," participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach. 
     
     
     
    This increased strain on attention has never been more clear than during the global pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family life. What are our options when facing professional communications at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using digital communications to our advantage—how can we facilitate information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are overwhelmed with content?

    An addictively free-ranging survey of the massive impact that the humble and loveable sheep have had on human history.From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the rolling hills of medieval England to the vast sheep farms of modern-day Australia, the domesticated ungulates of the genus Ovis—sheep—have been central to the human story.Starting with our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 10,000 years ago, these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and languages, helped us to win wars, decorated our homes, and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth. Enormous fortunes and new, society-changing industries have been made from the fleeces of sheep, and cities shaped by shepherds' markets and meat trading.Sally Coulthard weaves the rich and fascinating story of sheep into a vivid and colorful tapestry, thickly threaded with engaging anecdotes and remarkable ovine facts, whose multiple strands reflect the deep penetration of these woolly animals into every aspect of human society and culture.
