Summary

Wind Gust Falls explores the dramatic impact of storms on vulnerable mountain ridge ecosystems. It delves into how wind, topography, and biological communities interact, revealing insights into mountain ecology and climate change impacts. The book highlights the phenomenon of "windthrow," where trees are uprooted or broken by strong winds, and how these events shape spatial patterns and ecological processes. Understanding these dynamics is crucial as exposed mountain ridges serve as sensitive indicators of climate change, impacting biodiversity, carbon cycling, and land stability.

 
The study uses field data, dendrochronology, and LiDAR technology, also incorporating computational fluid dynamics to model wind flow over complex terrains. This interdisciplinary approach examines the influence of weather patterns on vegetation dynamics, connecting ecology with geomorphology by looking at soil stability and erosion. It investigates how past disturbances influence current vulnerabilities, introducing the concept of "ecological memory."

 
The book is systematically structured, beginning with the ecological context of exposed ridges and concluding with management implications and future research directions. It progresses through meteorological forces, treefall patterns, and consequences for biodiversity, providing a comprehensive overview for ecologists, geographers, and anyone interested in the resilience of mountain environments.

    First explored by naturalist William Bartram in the 1760s, the St. Johns River stretches 310 miles along Florida's east coast, making it the longest river in the state. The first "highway" through the once wild interior of Florida, the St. Johns may appear ordinary, but within its banks are some of the most fascinating natural phenomena and historic mysteries in the state. The river, no longer the commercial resource it once was, is now largely ignored by Florida's residents and visitors alike. 
 
 
 
In the first contemporary book about this American Heritage River, Bill Belleville describes his journey down the length of the St. Johns, kayaking, boating, hiking its riverbanks, diving its springs, and exploring its underwater caves. He rediscovers the natural Florida and establishes his connection with a place once loved for its untamed beauty. Belleville involves scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, cave divers, and folk historians in his journey, soliciting their companionship and their expertise. River of Lakes weaves together the biological, cultural, anthropological, archaeological, and ecological aspects of the St. Johns, capturing the essence of its remarkable history and intrinsic value as a natural wonder.

    DR. RANDALL W. JONES HAS INVENTED A LOT OF THINGS (he’s named on twenty US patents and patents pending), but he’s still on a quest to create the perfect cancer-detection device. In The Healthcare Disruptor, he discusses how anyone can be an inventor/innovator with the right tools. This book provides inspiration and instruction for entrepreneurs forging their own paths to success. Whether you’re taking on a powerful corporate giant, challenging your industry’s norms, or simply trying to understand how to take your first step in business, Dr. Jones has the answers."Healthcare is in crisis,” he says. “The system is broken." There’s too much emphasis on quantity instead of quality, and too many folks are on the take of big corporations. Major manufacturers and the insurance industry discourage managers from significantly improving their operation and healthcare delivery. But there are ways to change the system.

    Millions of people around the world have been diagnosed with incurable autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis. Debilitating conditions that make us tired, ill, and miserable. The only solution the medical industry offers are side-effect riddled maintenance drugs such as steroids and painkillers.Getting a formal diagnosis of MS is often a lengthy and challenging process. Many never get a medical confirmation of what is happening to their mind and body at all! Countless individuals live in constant pain and discomfort because they incorrectly assume all their health problems are the natural result of aging.Unfortunately, Craig Beck joined this ill-health demographic at the age of 48. After suffering months of severe symptoms, eventually, he too got handed the autoimmunity life sentence. However, rather than accept the hand as it was dealt. He remembered that the best medicine for a long and healthy life is found at the end of your fork, not the doctor's prescription pad. Craig decided to fall back on his research into natural medicine. He designed a diet and lifestyle that made inflammation the enemy and target. A process that would show amazing success at pushing Multiple Sclerosis firmly into near-permanent remission. In this special MS addition of the Autoimmune Antidote, you will gain valuable insight into the new, natural approach that can help you prevent and maybe even reverse the life-limiting symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis and other inflammatory health problems.
