Synopsis

Ridge Collapse Indicators explores the critical early warning signs of rock ridge failures in mountainous regions, offering crucial insights for geologists and environmental scientists. The book focuses on identifying subtle indicators like ground movements, acoustic emissions, and fracture patterns to improve risk assessment. One key insight involves understanding how audible shifts within a rock mass can signal instability, and the book argues that proactive observation of these precursory indicators can significantly improve our ability to forecast and potentially prevent catastrophic collapses.

 
The book begins with a foundational overview of rock mechanics and geological processes, then progresses to identifying and interpreting specific warning signs with case studies. It uniquely combines traditional geological fieldwork with cutting-edge technologies like remote sensing, microseismic monitoring networks and drone-based photogrammetry.

 
By offering a practical framework, Ridge Collapse Indicators provides a step-by-step methodology for field teams to identify, monitor, and evaluate potential collapse zones, moving beyond theoretical discussions to provide actionable strategies for mitigating risk.

Death to Beauty - The...

Eugene M. Helveston

In the 1970s, Dr. Alan Scott sought to selectively weaken eye muscles to treat strabismus (when one or both eyes are misaligned) without surgery. After failed attempts with other agents, Scott developed a method to stabilize the bacteria that causes botulism, culminating in a drug that eventually became known as Botox. 
 
 
 
In Death to Beauty, Eugene M. Helveston, MD, follows the unlikely story of botulism's 1817 discovery in contaminated German sausages, to its use in military and research facilities, to Scott, an ophthalmologist who aimed to safely use the drug in humans. Scott struggled alone as an unknown in the pharmaceutical industry, searching for clinical trial financing and FDA approval, which he achieved at a fraction of the billions big pharma usually spends to bring a drug to market. Eventually, the company Allergan bought him out, capitalizing on the possibilities for cosmetic uses. Scott's formula was renamed "Botox" and reached annual sales in the billions. After the sale, Scott received no further compensation from Botox sales and remained the same unassuming man. 
 
 
 
A fascinating walk through the intricate history of how the world's deadliest toxin starting as a treatment for crossed eyes became a routine tool for the cosmetic industry, Death to Beauty will make you rethink success, beauty, and deadly bacteria.
