Sinopse

Deserts, often perceived as barren landscapes, are in reality dynamic ecosystems shaped by geological and biological processes. Desert Sand explores the earth sciences behind these arid environments, from dune formation to the unique adaptations of desert life. The book highlights how weathering and erosion break down rocks into sand, which wind and water then transport to form expansive sand seas. It also reveals the surprising complexity beneath the desert's apparent simplicity, emphasizing the interplay between geological, meteorological, and biological factors.

 
The book progresses by first examining the geological processes that create deserts, then focusing on how dunes form and the physics of sand movement. It then shifts to the resilience of desert life, exploring how plants and animals survive with limited water and extreme temperatures.

 
Drawing upon scientific research, including geological surveys and ecological field studies, Desert Sand integrates earth sciences, geography, and biology to offer a holistic understanding of these fascinating ecosystems.

    A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure!

    The inspiring classic on the virtues of embracing the great outdoors from the nationally bestselling author of The Dog Who Came to Stay. 
     
     
     
    Over the course of his career, Hal Borland wrote eight nature books and hundreds of "outdoor editorials" for the Sunday New York Times, extolling the virtues of the countryside. From his home on one hundred acres in rural Connecticut, Borland wrote of the natural wonders, both big and small, that surrounded him every day. Beyond Your Doorstep is his guide to venturing into the outdoors around your home, wherever it is, and discovering the countryside within reach. 
     
     
     
    The beauty to be found in roadsides, meadows, woodlands, and bogs are explored in elegant prose. Borland takes up birds, animals, and plants—both edible and poisonous—and the miraculous ways in which they are threaded together throughout the natural world. Part introductory field guide and part incitement to exploration, Beyond Your Doorstep is a classic of nature writing and a must-listen for anyone looking to renew his or her relationship to the outdoors.

    I Am Cosmic Mind

    I Am Cosmic Mind is the third book in the 'Save The World Series'.  The total knowledge gained here provides us with a new pathway through the evolution of the human species, because our present species - Homo Sapiens - has led us to the verge of extinction.  A Cosmic Mind lies within us all and is helping our next iteration emerge - 'Homo Planetae' or 'Man of The Planet' begins humanity's next branch of Evolution. 
    The first book in the series - How To Turn Back Time describes how Time flies about the universe in waves, for which I hope to win the Nobel Prize in Physics someday.  Everyone experiences waves of good and bad events the crests and the troughs of the time waves in our lives.  
    The only question left in my mind was - 'Where do these waves originate'.  For ocean waves, we know they come from the other side of the planet where the wind whips them up and they travel all around the planet.  For Time Waves, they must originate somewhere in the middle of the universe where other forces whip them up and blow them all over the place until they land in the events that make up our lives.  The answer to this question came to me in 'I Am Cosmic Mind' and are published here for all to see.  
    Then, more recently, I discovered that within our lives Time Waves are things I call 'Time Point Certainties' - These can be likened to the subatomic particles that carry up all other forces in the universe.  So, now we know that there are Time Waves that create a Time Field that is the flux that holds all other fields together in a 'Layer Cake' kind of assembly.  Inside all of this are points in time, like the one you are witnessing now that are the most important points of time you can recall.  All of this was designed by and is always maintained by a Cosmic Mind - who speaks to us all here.
