Beschreibung

Thames Flood Control explores London's enduring battle with the Thames River, focusing on flood prevention and water quality management through the lens of history and environmental science. The book highlights how London's very existence is intertwined with the Thames, making its control vital. Readers will discover how efforts to tame the river evolved from basic embankments to the sophisticated Thames Barrier, a testament to centuries of adaptation. Understanding the river's past offers crucial insights for present-day challenges.

 
The book takes a comprehensive approach, starting with the Thames's historical transformation, then diving into the science of water quality, including its impact on waterborne diseases and public health. It investigates contemporary strategies like sustainable drainage systems, blending engineering with ecological considerations. The narrative uses historical records, scientific studies, and expert interviews to support its analysis.

 
Ultimately, Thames Flood Control argues for an integrated approach to urban resilience, advocating for solutions that consider both the Thames's historical context and its ecological dynamics. The book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in environmental history, urban planning, and the future of our cities in the face of climate change.

    Rewire Your Brain for Happiness—A Step-By-Step ProgramSelf-Directed Brain Change is based on a key emerging insight from neuroscience: that to keep our ancestors alive, the human brain evolved to stick to negative experiences like Velcro and shrug off the positive ones like Teflon. The good news, teaches Rick Hanson, is that we can retrain our neural structure out of "sheer survival" mode and into one of greater well-being, mental clarity, and moment-to-moment appreciation. In this practice-focused program, Dr. Hanson teaches us how to:Shift our evolutionary fear and survival bias into one of "taking in the good"• Use positive moments or states to rewire happiness as an enduring neural trait• Heal difficult or painful emotional memories to "fill the hole in the heart"• Increase and deepen daily experiences of love, gratitude, and contentment• Build inner resilience in the face of stress and challenging situations, improve relationships, and much moreIs it possible to rewire yourself for happiness? A growing body of evidence from this pioneering neuropsychologist and his colleagues says yes, we can—and experience greater fulfillment and contentment the moment we begin. With Self-Directed Brain Change, you will learn how.

    In late March 2015, ornithologist Bruce M. Beehler set off on a solo three-month trek to track songbird migration and the northward progress of spring through America. Traveling via car, canoe, bike, and on foot, Beehler followed woodland warblers and other neotropical songbird species from the southern border of Texas, where the birds first arrive after their winter sojourns in South America and the Caribbean, northward through the Mississippi drainage to its headwaters in Minnesota and onward to their nesting grounds in the north woods of Ontario. 
    In North on the Wing, Beehler describes both the epic migration of songbirds across the country and the gradual dawning of springtime through the US heartland—the blossoming of wildflowers, the chorusing of frogs, the leafing out of forest canopies—and also tells the stories of the people and institutions dedicated to studying and conserving the critical habitats and processes of spring songbird migration. 
    Inspired in part by Edwin Way Teale’s landmark 1951 book North with the Spring, this audiobook—part travelogue, part field journal, and part environmental and cultural history—is a fascinating firsthand account of a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It engages listeners in the wonders of spring migration and serves as a call for the need to conserve, restore, and expand bird habitats to preserve them for future generations of both birds and humans.
