Sinopsis

Sacred Waters Protection examines how indigenous communities worldwide are fighting to protect their ancestral water rights amidst growing environmental and political pressures. It highlights the crucial role of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK)—the wisdom passed down through generations—in sustainable water management and addresses environmental justice, emphasizing how marginalized communities disproportionately suffer from environmental degradation. Understanding the historical context of colonization and resource extraction is key to appreciating the current struggles faced by indigenous populations. The book argues that empowering indigenous-led initiatives is essential for achieving genuine sustainability and environmental equity. Through case studies from regions like the Amazon and the American Southwest, it showcases diverse strategies employed by indigenous communities, from legal challenges to collaborative partnerships. It analyzes the effectiveness of these approaches, demonstrating both successes and setbacks in the fight for water rights. The book progresses by first defining indigenous water rights and then exploring relevant international laws. Later chapters examine the role of international organizations and NGOs, culminating in recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders. By centering indigenous voices and challenging anthropocentric views of water, Sacred Waters Protection offers a unique perspective and inspires action towards a more just and sustainable future.

Beyond the Stars - The Role of...

Dirk Fallon

The concept of cosmic expansion is foundational to modern cosmology. It describes the way the universe has been stretching out over time, with galaxies moving away from each other. This phenomenon was first observed in the early 20th century by astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discovered that distant galaxies were receding from the Earth. The further a galaxy was, the faster it seemed to move away. This led to the realization that the universe itself was expanding, not just galaxies moving within a static space. The discovery was groundbreaking because it suggested that the universe had a beginning—a moment when all matter and energy were concentrated in a singular point. This insight laid the groundwork for the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe began from an incredibly hot and dense state and has been expanding ever since.
Before this discovery, the prevailing belief in astronomy was that the universe was static, neither expanding nor contracting. However, Hubble’s findings, supported by the work of other scientists like Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaître, showed that space itself was expanding. This meant that the fabric of the universe was stretching, causing galaxies to drift apart over time. Understanding cosmic expansion was pivotal not only in explaining the universe’s origins but also in forming the basis for further study of its evolution and ultimate fate.
At first, scientists believed that the expansion of the universe would eventually slow down due to gravitational pull. This expectation, however, changed with the discovery of dark energy in the late 20th century. Observations of distant supernovae revealed that not only was the universe expanding, but this expansion was actually accelerating. This unexpected acceleration is attributed to dark energy, a mysterious force that permeates space and drives galaxies apart at an ever-increasing rate.

Black Holes - The Key to...

Professor Brian Cox, Professor...

By the star physicist and author of multiple #1 Sunday Times bestsellers, a major and definitive narrative work on black holes and how they can help us understand the universe.
At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly it can bend space, throwing vast jets of radiation millions of light years out into the cosmos. Its kind were the very first inhabitants of the universe, the black holes.
Today, across the universe, at the heart of every galaxy, and dotted throughout, mature black holes are creating chaos. And in a quiet part of the universe, the Swift satellite has picked up evidence of a gruesome death caused by one of these dark powers. High energy X-ray flares shooting out from deep within the Draco constellation are thought to be the dying cries of a white dwarf star being ripped apart by the intense tides of a supermassive black hole – heating it to millions of degrees as it is shredded at the event horizon.
They have the power to wipe out any of the universe’s other inhabitants, but no one has ever seen a black hole itself die. But 1.8 billion light years away, the LIGO instruments have recently detected something that could be the closest a black hole gets to death. Gravitational waves given off as two enormous black holes merge together. And now scientists think that these gravitational waves could be evidence of two black holes connecting to form a wormhole – a link through space and time. It seems outlandish, but today’s physicists are daring to think the unthinkable – that black holes could connect us to another universe.
At their very heart, black holes are also where Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is stretched in almost unimaginable ways, revealing black holes as the key to our understanding of the fundamentals of our universe and perhaps all other universes.
Join Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw in exploring our universe’s most mysterious inhabitants, how they are formed, why they are essential components of every galaxy, including our own, and what secrets they still hold, waiting to be discovered.
