Sinopsis

"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.

    A witty and winsome new way of looking at the complex relationship between cats and people: through the eyes of one erudite and attentive Italian gatto. 
    We live on a planet infested with humans. They are a pernicious species, yet undeniably clever and capable—even if the reasons behind their actions are often incomprehensible to us felines. 
    But while it is true that there have never been so many primates on Earth, in reality, they are quite simple to teach using well-practiced domestication techniques, such as loud vocalizations, strategic nighttime alarms, and selective displays of affection. 
    And if you choose your specimen carefully, you’ll find that it can be completely tamed, and you'll end up with the best, most faithful companion you could possibly wish for. 
    Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor

    "When the whole world's against you, at least it's something to lean on." 
    When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and teeters on the brink of collapse. Its recovery is not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying them: the same must be done to the mind responsible. 
    Thomas may be the worst writer to have ever lived, but if he’s not careful, he won’t be doing much of that, either. 
    This Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing industry. There’s lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There’s also an excellent café scene, which, although short, is worth mentioning. 
     “Dreadful. The title says it all. Except about it being dreadful. ” - Carmen Schneider. Acquisitions Editor, PBA. 
    “The publishing industry is in upheaval, it’s true. But this just rubs balsamic vinegar into its wounds and garnishes it with slices of turd.” – Robert Tasher. MD, Banquet Press. 
    “It’s ebooks like this that should have the internet banned.” - Malcolm Shrot-Faith, Literary Agent.

    The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
     
     
     
    Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
     
     
     
    Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
     
    The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.
