Rock Faces Shelter explores the often-overlooked role of mountain rock faces and overhangs as critical natural refuges. These geological formations provide life-saving shelter during extreme weather, influencing local microclimates and serving as vital components of mountain ecosystems. The book highlights how these natural shelters contribute to biodiversity and resilience, especially in the face of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. Did you know that these overhangs can significantly regulate temperature and humidity, creating unique habitats for various species?

 
The book begins by detailing the geomorphological processes that form rock overhangs, categorizing them by shape and size. It then delves into the microclimates they generate and their ecological importance, using case studies from mountain ranges worldwide. By using data from field observations and climate modeling, the author demonstrates the ecological significance of overhangs and their contribution to the stability of mountain ecosystems.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of overhangs in the broader context of Earth Sciences Geography, Ecosystems & Habitats and Mountains, offering insights for conservation, risk assessment, and even architectural designs inspired by nature's resilience.

Ontology Or the Theory of Being

Peter Coffey Ph. D.

In the domain of Ontology, there are many scholastic theories and discussions which are commonly regarded by non-scholastic writers as possessing nowadays, for the student of philosophy, an interest that is merely historical. This mistaken notion is probably due to the fact that few if any serious attempts have yet been made to transpose these questions from their medieval setting into the language and context of contemporary philosophy. Perhaps not a single one of these problems is really and in substance alien to present-day speculations.  
The author has endeavoured, by his treatment of such characteristically “medieval” discussions as those on potentia and actus, essence and existence, individuation, the theory of distinctions, substance and accident, nature and person, logical and real relations, efficient and final causes, to show that the issues involved are in every instance as fully and keenly debated, in an altered setting and a new terminology, by recent and living philosophers of every school of thought as they were by St. Thomas and his contemporaries in the golden age of medieval scholasticism.  
And, as the purposes of a text book demanded, attention has been devoted to stating the problems clearly, to showing the significance and bearings of discussions and solutions, rather than to detailed analyses of arguments. At the same time, it is hoped that the treatment is sufficiently full to be helpful even to advanced students and to all who are interested in the Metaphysics of the Schools.
