Summary

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shaping human destiny, a concept supported by detailed evidence from geological surveys, archaeological findings, and historical documents.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.

27 Thoughts About Streaming on...

Travis I. Sivart

Author and streamer Travis I. Sivart brings you a primer for streaming on Twitch.tv covering more than just technicals, and instead giving you insight into image, content, how to gain an audience, and how to keep your viewers coming back for more. 
Travis started doing live, interactive street theater in 1990, went to broadcasting school in 2003, created his first podcast in 2007, changed to live internet pirate radio in 2012, and began live streaming in 2017. Since he published his first book in 2013, he's been a guest speaker at dozens of conventions, and has done numerous live broadcasts. The point of all that is; He knows a bit about presentation and interacting with the public in an entertainment role. 
One of the main points Travis wants streamers to remember is, "Something that always goes with having fun is to be yourself. People would rather watch someone awkward who's having fun, than a professional being miserable. That’s a truth that you can bank on."

Reclaim Your Mind offers a middle way to "anyone who's feeling guilty and helpless about their screen time" (Catherine Price, author of How to Break Up with Your Phone). It isn't just another book telling you that your phone is ruining your brain. It's a mindful, balanced approach that helps you enjoy tech on your terms.

Davidson, NYT bestselling author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain) based not only on mindfulness, but also a deep understanding of how tech is designed. You shouldn't have to choose between inner peace and screen time, and neither should those you care about.

With relatable stories, short exercises in every chapter, and strategies backed by scientific research, Reclaim Your Mind is "a playful, wise, and practical guide" (Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, MD, NYT bestselling author of The Whole-Brain Child) to rekindling a positive relationship with TV, social media, games, news, email, and AI.

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

In the late 19th century, Charles Darwin was sure that humans and animals showed emotion through remarkably similar behaviors, noting, "The Indian elephant is said sometimes to weep." For over 100 years, animal lovers have known that their dogs, cats, and other pets have complex emotional lives. When Elephants Weep is the first book since Darwin's to thoroughly and effectively explore the full range of emotions throughout the animal kingdom.
Scholar and psychoanalyst Masson, with the help of Susan McCarthy, presents scientific evidence, fascinating anecdotes, and illuminating insights that offer powerful proof of the existence of animal emotion. When Elephants Weep draws upon the illuminating experiences of animal trainers and pet owners to create riveting and revolutionary stories that will permanently change and enrich the way we look at animals.
