Sinopse

In "The Arctic Prairies: A Canoe-Journey of 2,000 Miles in Search of the Caribou," Ernest Thompson Seton intertwines adventure and naturalist observation, chronicling his extensive journey through the Arctic wilderness. The book is notable for its vivid descriptions and meticulous detail, presenting the geography, flora, and fauna of the regions he traverses. Seton's literary style reflects a blend of romanticism and realism, capturing the essence of the natural world while conveying the challenges and beauty of solitary travel. His narrative not only documents a quest for caribou but also serves as an exploration of the deeper connection between humanity and the wild landscapes of North America, contextualized within the burgeoning conservation movement of the early 20th century. Seton, a prominent figure in the early conservation movement, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the wild and his passion for nature. His work as a naturalist, illustrator, and writer allowed him to blend artistic expression with scientific inquiry, which likely fueled his desire to embark on this ambitious canoe journey. Seton's commitment to preserving wildlife and promoting understanding of nature is evident in his meticulous observations and engaging storytelling. "The Arctic Prairies" is recommended for readers interested in adventure literature, natural history, and the early conservationist ethos. Seton's thoughtful reflections and engaging prose provide not only an account of a remarkable journey but also a poignant meditation on the importance of nature in human life. This book is a must-read for adventurers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking inspiration from the wilderness.

    Understand the fundamentals of electrical power systems with this accessible guide 
     
    Few subjects are more fundamental to modern life than electrical power. The systems that generate, transport, and distribute electricity are among the most essential contributors to modern industry, development, and everyday living. As energy demand grows and, with it, the electric power industry, more and more non-electrical professionals must make important policy and administrative decisions regarding the systems that power our world. 
     
    Electric Power System Basics for the Nonelectrical Professional provides an education on the basics of this subject, including the various types of energy sources, types of transmission and distribution lines, grid modernization, and much more. From residential to industrial energy, and from metering principles to energy conservation techniques, this book provides a one-stop reference on all relevant areas of knowledge. Now fully updated to reflect the latest advances and the current state of a growing industry, it is a must-own for anyone looking to bring foundational power systems knowledge to bear on policy or industrial issues. 
     
    Readers of the third edition will also find: 
     
    Coverage of wildfire mitigation strategies to reduce safety risk 
    Detailed discussion of regulatory changes and their effects on system operations 
    Updated coverage of system reliability and smart technologies 
    Updated discussion of the transitioning digital power grid 
    Electric Power System Basics for the Nonelectrical Professional is ideal for power industry executives and state regulators.

    This book consists of 4 titles, which are the following: 
    Cosmic Inflation - Cosmic inflation is more than just a theoretical construct; it is a crucial piece of the puzzle in our understanding of the universe's origins and its subsequent evolution. At its core, the concept of cosmic inflation addresses some of the most profound questions in cosmology, such as why the universe appears so uniform on large scales, despite the randomness we might expect from the chaotic conditions of the Big Bang. Without inflation, these puzzles remain unresolved, leaving gaps in our understanding of how the universe came to be the way it is. 
    Cosmic Rays - Cosmic rays are an intriguing aspect of astrophysics, originating from various sources in the universe, such as supernovae, pulsars, and even black holes. They consist of charged particles accelerated to incredible energies, often far beyond what our most powerful particle accelerators on Earth can achieve. These particles, when they collide with the Earth's atmosphere, create secondary particles in a cascade of interactions, leading to a fascinating array of phenomena. 
    Multiverse Theory - Multiverse theory posits the existence of multiple, possibly infinite, universes that exist parallel to our own, collectively forming what is known as the "multiverse." The origins of this theory are rooted in quantum mechanics and cosmology. 
    String Theory - String theory is a theoretical framework aiming to unify all fundamental forces and particles by positing that they are vibrations of one-dimensional "strings," rather than point-like particles. These strings, in different vibrational modes, correspond to various particle types and properties.

    Climate anxiety is real—and this practical, accessible guide helps address it on personal, relational, and structural levels, from the founder of the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth. Summer after summer is the hottest on record. People’s homes are flooding, burning, blowing away. We live with the loss, pain, and grief of what’s happened, and anxiety for what might happen next, as the systems in which we live are increasingly strained. Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth addresses our collective concerns with empathy, grace, and practical strategies to help us all envision a viable future. By moving through your personal and general climate anxiety, frustration, helplessness and grief, you can move toward a sense of shared purpose and community care. You’ll find actionable steps for connecting with others, identifying and activating community abundance, matching your skills with organized climate activism, and imagining a radically more livable future in order to bring it into being. Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth meets you where you are, not sugarcoating the realities of this growing crisis, but offering practical strategies for meeting a climate-changed present and future with emotional honesty and communal support. In 2014, when Kate Schapira first set up a Climate Anxiety Counseling booth in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, far fewer people were talking about climate change and its attendant anxiety, leaving those who couldn’t ignore climate change and the forces that cause it feeling frantic and alone.  Seeking a way to reach out and connect, Schapira set up a Peanuts-style "The Doctor Is In" booth to talk about climate change with her community. Ten years and over 1200 conversations later, Schapira channels all she’s learned into an accessible, understandable, and aware guide for processing climate anxiety and connecting with others to carry out real change in your life and in your community.

    Despite their cultural influence, the grand narrative of the dinosaur story is rarely told. Most of us have heard of Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, but these two dinosaurs lived more than eighty million years apart—a greater span of time than the entire post-T. rex history of the planet. Furthermore, we often know even less about the environments these animals lived in. 
     
     
     
    The Shortest History of the Dinosaurs tells the full story, a 230-million-year epic of small beginnings, spectacular golden periods, and eventual global domination—before an unthinkable asteroid event brought everything to a screeching halt. We learn that, for millions of years in the Triassic, dinosaurs were dog-sized—but slowly developing evolutionary traits like feathers and warm-bloodedness. In the Jurassic Period, these traits—and others like laying eggs and growing specialized air sacs—led to an era of rapid growth in dinosaur population and physical size. As Pangea continued to break apart, during the Cretaceous Period, dinosaurs traversed the globe, adapting to air and water—before a six-mile-wide asteroid hit Central America. 
     
     
     
    Using fossil discoveries and fresh understandings of genetics and evolution, author Riley Black reveals the startling relationships dinosaurs shared with each other, the land they lived on, other animal species, and the earth.
