Beschreibung

River Facts explores the profound link between the world's rivers, geography, and the trajectory of human civilization. It reveals how these waterways have not only shaped landscapes but also dictated the rise and fall of societies. Consider the ancient Egyptians, whose lives were inextricably linked to the Nile's annual floods, or the Mesopotamians, who harnessed the Tigris and Euphrates for agriculture. The book emphasizes that rivers are active agents in shaping human destiny, a concept supported by detailed evidence from geological surveys, archaeological findings, and historical documents.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the fundamentals of river formation and hydrology. It then delves into the roles of iconic rivers like the Nile, Amazon, and Mississippi, and the Yellow River, examining their influence on early agriculture, exploration, trade, and resource extraction.

 
Finally, River Facts addresses contemporary issues such as pollution and climate change, discussing sustainable river management strategies. By integrating scientific data with historical narratives, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between rivers and civilizations, making it invaluable for students, educators, and anyone interested in world history, earth science, and geography.

    Farming and ranching success comes from the freedom to fail because there is no silver bullet. Curiosity – Farmers Discovering What Works tells journeys farmers make to find solutions that are kinder to the environment, easier on the pocket and bring purpose, pride and confidence to those in the most complex profession there is. Each story has nuggets of inspiration and insight to stimulate observation and logic in farming matters. 
    John's perspectives are associated with the practices and principles of Allan Savory's Holistic Management, which though habits and routines, changes how farmers observe, question and probe for solutions. John teaches this in New Zealand and assists with farmers around the globe as a tutor for Holistic Management International. John draws on similarly minded farmers and experts such as Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, Allan Nation, Allen Williams, Fred Provenza, Christine Jones, Charles Massy and others offering commercial farmers new directions and insights. 
    Reviews include: 
    …his purposeful “short, sharp” essays are designed for busy people. “Hopefully it’s style will remind you of Allan Nation.” Yes, John King did indeed capture Allan’s wise pithiness. I found myself underlining or circling something in virtually every essay. It’s dense, packed with sensible advice gleaned from dozens of on-farm experiments over numerous decades. Joel Salatin, editor, Stockman Grass Farmer, Missouri, USA 
    This invaluable and important book should be compulsory reading for anyone daring to manage farming landscapes with an eye to contributing to healthier farmscapes and catchments, rural families and their animals, and to a sustainable future. How I wish I could have read and lived in such a book as this when I was a young farmer preparing to make all the mistakes. A farming, social, and environmental gem. Charles Massy, author, Call of the Reed Warbler

    In recent years, there has been a growing shift toward sustainable living, and one of the most impactful ways individuals can contribute to environmental stewardship is through permaculture. The Permaculture Home Garden Design and Implementation is designed to guide you through the principles and practices that can transform your home garden into a self-sustaining, ecologically balanced ecosystem. This book is for anyone, whether you are a seasoned gardener or just beginning, who is interested in creating a space that not only provides food but also nurtures the environment. 
    Permaculture, at its core, is a design system rooted in natural ecosystems, aiming to meet human needs while regenerating the planet. It goes beyond organic gardening by integrating every element of your home and garden—plants, animals, structures, and even human activities—into a cohesive whole. By observing the natural world, permaculture teaches us how to mimic the processes found in nature to create systems that are productive, resilient, and low-maintenance. 
    One of the central ideas of permaculture is that a sustainable garden doesn’t need to be a constant source of stress and hard labor. Instead, it’s about working with nature’s rhythms, understanding the needs of your plants and animals, and fostering an environment where they can thrive with minimal external inputs. By applying the permaculture principles to your home garden, you will create a space that grows food, builds soil health, conserves water, supports biodiversity, and ultimately reduces your reliance on outside resources. 
    This book will help you start from the very beginning, guiding you through an in-depth exploration of permaculture principles and their practical application. You will learn how to assess your land, plan your garden using thoughtful design, and implement solutions that foster long-term ecological health.

    Salton Sea The: The History of...

    In the list of popular American geological oddities and attractions, one sizeable phenomenon remains surprisingly unfamiliar to the average citizen. This may be due in part to its remote desert location, but perception of the Salton Sea in southern California is also laden with environmental concerns and is in a constant state of flux. The extensive body of inland saltwater hides a glorious commercial past and has served as an important wildlife preserve but approaches a seemingly inevitable crisis in the coming decade. 
    	The Salton Sea in not directly “on the way” to anything substantial or iconic, and is situated one hour’s drive from Palm Springs, 30 miles to the south of Indio, California on Highway 111. Its distance from Los Angeles and San Diego is approximately three hours driving time. The most recognizable natural phenomenon of Imperial and Riverside counties, it is surrounded by a rural area comprised of predominantly migrant farm workers and located in the southern Colorado desert area known as the Salton Trough, or Salton Sink. 
    	Despite being a natural occurrence filling and emptying intermittingly throughout history, the current presence of this large inland sea surrounded by sand was created accidentally in the early 20th century. First formed around 700 CE, the original and much larger version of the great inland lake was called Lake Cahuilla, connected to the Sea of Cortez. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the 16th century, the basin was completely dry as Don Juan Bautista led the first party across the basin’s expanse.  
    	The “accidental” creation of the lake’s modern version was a product of the rising Colorado that destroyed a crucial section of the canal system designed to help farmers. Millions of gallons of water were forced into the lowland area. Beyond the one breach, the entire volume of the river flowed into the Salton lowlands for nearly two years before engineers finally stopped it.
