Summary

"Tidal Bores" explores the fascinating world of upstream-moving waves, born from the ocean's tide and surging into rivers. These rare phenomena occur where specific geographical conditions meet, like shallow, funnel-shaped estuaries that amplify incoming tides. Tidal bores aren't just scientific curiosities; they significantly impact local cultures and recreational activities such as surfing.

 
The book delves into the science behind these waves, examining the interplay between tidal forces, river flow, and unique riverbed shapes. For example, the Severn Bore in England, the Pororoca in Brazil, and the Qiantang River bore in China each showcase distinct characteristics.

 
The book progresses from foundational tidal science to case studies, analyzing local geography, tidal dynamics, and human interaction with each bore. Through a blend of scientific analysis, firsthand accounts, and cultural insights, "Tidal Bores" offers a holistic understanding. It highlights fluid dynamics and coastal geomorphology, connecting to fields like oceanography, coastal engineering, and cultural anthropology.

 
The book concludes by addressing bore prediction, climate change impacts, and future research, making it valuable for students, researchers, coastal engineers, and anyone intrigued by nature's power.

    Of all the creatures of the deep blue, none is as captivating as the octopus. In Many Things Under a Rock, marine biologist David Scheel investigates four major mysteries about these elusive beings. How can we study an animal with perfect camouflage and secretive habitats? How does a soft and boneless creature defeat sharks and eels, while thriving as a predator of the most heavily armored animals in the sea? How do octopus bodies work? And how does a solitary animal form friendships, entice mates, and outwit rivals? 
     
     
     
    Over the course of his twenty-five years studying octopuses, Scheel has witnessed a sea change in what we know and are able to discover about octopus physiology and behavior—even an octopus's inner life. Here he explores amazing new scientific developments, weaving accounts of his own research, and surprising encounters, with stories and legends of Indigenous peoples that illuminate our relationship with these creatures across centuries. In doing so, he reveals a deep affinity between humans and even the most unusual and unique undersea dwellers. 
     
     
     
    Octopuses are complex, emotional, and cognitive beings. This is the story of what we have learned and what we are still learning about the natural history and wondrous lives of these animals with whom we share our blue planet.

    'You could call him Paddington,' Adam said, casually, 'Don't name him! I said, as if this was self-evident. Names turn situations into responsibilities. 
    When Mirelle Radley set off for Peru with her cousin Adam, hoping to heal her broken heart, she didn't expect to meet someone who would change the course of her life forever. 
    Meet Paddy, the Peruvian street dog who met Mirelle one night when he wandered into her eco-cabin – and refused to leave. He returned the next day, and the day after. And before long, he was following her through towns and markets and trekking alongside her through the mountains, never leaving her side. 
    He was free to go, yet he never strayed more than a few steps away. 
    As Mirelle's trip came to an end, heartbreak struck. She faced an impossible goodbye. 
    How could she leave behind Paddy – the dog, she had fallen in love with and named – who had so clearly chosen her to be his human? 
    What follows is a heart-stopping, globe-spanning adventure that reminds us that sometimes, love finds us in the most unexpected ways. 
    Part autobiography, part memoirs, this non-fiction account turns travel across South America into an intimate biography of an extraordinary bond between humans and animals. With nature as its backdrop and dogs at its heart, it’s a best, latest up-coming read to pre-order for every pets lover.

    What makes The Beautiful Strokes of God so helpful and unique is that it’s written by a pastor who knows and believes that Bible. He personally experienced the hopelessness and despair that came after a disabling illness. He knows what it’s like to battle through all the misunderstandings that Christians have about mental illness. He felt the emotional pain of having his faith severely challenged by his illness and the tormenting thoughts that raged in his mind. Through his diligent pursuit of the truth, God showed him the path to victory which he will share with you in the pages of this life changing book.Allan Gallant’s heartbeat is to change the conversation about mental illness in the church. His goal is to give Christians a Biblically based explanation of mental illness and how to successfully recover mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Then churches can become a place of healing, hope and recovery rather than condemnation, shame, and denial.If you have struggled with mental illness, or have a loved one who is struggling, this book will bring hope and shine a light on the darkness of despair. It should also be required reading for anyone in a helping profession who wants to understand what it feels like to go through this trial of faith and then recovery.
