    Sedimentology is the branch of geology that focuses on the study of sediments, sedimentary rocks, and the processes that shape Earth’s surface. It plays a crucial role in understanding past environments, reconstructing geological history, and exploring natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. By analyzing the formation, transportation, and deposition of sediments, sedimentologists can decipher the evolution of landscapes and predict geological changes. 
    The significance of sedimentology extends beyond academic research. It is essential for industries such as petroleum exploration, environmental management, and civil engineering. Understanding sedimentary processes aids in assessing groundwater reservoirs, predicting landslides, and managing coastal erosion. Additionally, sedimentology provides valuable insights into climate change by examining ancient sedimentary records that preserve evidence of past environmental conditions. 
    The development of sedimentology as a scientific discipline can be traced back to early geological studies in the 18th and 19th centuries. Scientists such as James Hutton and Charles Lyell contributed to the foundational principles of uniformitarianism, which states that the geological processes occurring today are similar to those that shaped Earth’s past. This principle remains central to sedimentological research, allowing geologists to interpret past events by observing present-day processes.

    RESILIENCE FINDS A WAY 
     
    James Webb’s life is the American dream in a nutshell. Born to teenage parents in Laurel, Mississippi, and faced with a future working in the town’s only two factories, James chose to change his fate and forge his own path—to become a titan of business, a mentor, and a philanthropist. 
     
    In Redneck Resilience, James shares stories of amazing wins and devastating losses, of sin and redemption, of recovery and forward momentum. Most importantly, he discusses the benefits and advantages of resilience. 
     
    James uses his own life to illustrate truths about success in life and in business, including: 
    • Failures happen, and resilience vanquishes failure. 
    • No lesson or experience is ever wasted. 
    • When opportunity presents itself, take the risk. 
    • A true entrepreneur works for no one. 
    • You cannot succeed on your own. 
    • And much more. 
     
    Resilient people never take their eye off where they’re going, even when they get knocked down. They refocus. Resilience isn’t worried about the odds. Resilience finds a way.

    “Banks turns trivial questions into mind-expanding demonstrations of the magical powers of mathematics. . . . generously garnished with his unpredictable wit.” —Booklist 
     
    Have you ever daydreamed about digging a hole to the other side of the world? Robert Banks not only entertains such ideas but supplies the mathematical know-how to turn fantasies into problem-solving adventures. Now the author of Towing Icebergs, Falling Dominoes, and Further Adventures in Applied Mathematics presents another collection of puzzles to sharpen your thinking and mathematical skills. 
     
    The problems range from the wondrous to the eminently practical: What’s the total number of people who’ve lived on Earth? How do you get the most pizza slices with the least number of cuts? To go from point A to point B in a downpour, should you walk slowly, jog moderately, or run as fast as possible to get least wet? What is the length of the seam on a baseball? If all the ice in the world melted, what would happen to Florida, the Mississippi River, and Niagara Falls? Why do snowflakes have six sides? 
     
    Covering a broad range of fields from geography and environmental studies to map- and flag-making, Banks uses mostly basic algebra and geometry to solve problems. And if famous scientists have also pondered these questions, he shares the historical details with the reader. 
     
    “[Banks displays] a playful imagination and love of the fantastic that one would not ordinarily associate with a mathematical engineer. . . . entertaining.” —The Christian Science Monitor
