Sinossi

Water Rights explores the complex history of water disputes across the Americas, highlighting the tension between human needs, economic development, and ecological preservation. These disputes often pit different users against each other in a zero-sum game, revealing inequalities and vulnerabilities. The book examines how these conflicts disproportionately affect marginalized communities, raising critical issues of environmental justice. Understanding these disputes requires grasping hydrological cycles, legal principles, and the impacts of climate change, all of which exacerbate water scarcity.

 
The book unfolds in three parts: an introduction to key terms and water law, case studies of water disputes from regions like the Colorado River Basin and the Atacama Desert, and a synthesis of lessons learned with policy recommendations.

 
By integrating historical analysis, legal scholarship, and environmental justice principles, Water Rights provides a nuanced perspective, demonstrating how legal frameworks are shaped by political interests and environmental impacts vary across social groups. It avoids simplistic solutions, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of water allocation and its importance for sustainability.

  • Leading with Your Upper Brain: How to Create the Behaviors That Unlock Performance Excellence - cover

    Leading with Your Upper Brain:...

    It' s never been this urgent to build employee relationships that spark higher brain thinking and the skills to connect with people to encourage their highest performance. In other words, it' s vital to engage team members' upper brains, which control critical reasoning, judgment, and creativity. When that positive connection is lacking, leaders risk provoking team members' lower brains— which govern fear and survival behaviors— and creating a toxic workplace.
    
    Research shows that a leader' s behavior is the most important predictor of a team' s success. Leading with Your Upper Brain helps you understand why. It provides an innovative framework to shift your behavior in ways that help employees tap into their upper-brain resources that drive higher levels of performance.
    
    The authors use cutting-edge neuroscience research to illustrate how a positive connection with their leader builds trust and affects team members' brain function that leads to overall team success. They share a modern, science-based approach to performance management and leadership development that fits any organization. Each chapter offers key takeaways, tips, and questions to help you put the principles into practice.

    A diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be scary... but it also opens up an opportunity for growth and stability. Ready to find the answers? 
    Around one in every 100 people is diagnosed with bipolar disorder at some point in their lives… but if you’re one of them, it probably feels more isolating than that. 
    Despite the rising awareness of mental health challenges, it’s a condition still shrouded in misunderstanding, and while you’re caught up in the extreme highs and lows it presents, it’s difficult to understand it yourself, let alone help anyone else to understand it. 
    A diagnosis can bring a sense of relief—an explanation to help you finally make sense of what’s been happening with you… but it can also be scary. 
    Mariah Carey, who’s spoken outwardly about her experience with bipolar disorder, said that she “didn’t want to believe” it when she was given her diagnosis… and perhaps that’s a feeling you can relate to. 
    It can make you feel terribly alone, especially when you don’t understand all the nuances of bipolar disorder or how to manage it well… But this is where your diagnosis is a blessing. 
    Now that you know you have it, you can dive beneath the hood and implement techniques that you didn’t know to try before now. 
    But when there’s so much to know, where do you start? 
    Right here. 
    Written by an author whose diagnosis marked a positive turning point, this empathetic and holistic approach to understanding and managing bipolar disorder will show you exactly what you need to know. 
    Whether you’re living with the condition yourself or you’re caring for someone who is, your journey toward understanding starts here. 
    You might think a diagnosis is the end of your journey… It all makes sense now, after all. 
    But this is just the start of your path—because with a deeper understanding and a wealth of strategies you can turn to at any time, you can completely transform your daily experience.

    Understanding how right-brain and left-brain differences influence our habits, thoughts, and actions. 
     
     
     
    Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics? 
     
     
     
    Side Effects delves into how lateral biases in our brains influence our everyday behavior, and how being aware of these biases can be to our advantage.
