Sinopse

Embark on a captivating journey through the world of geomorphology, the study of Earth's surface processes, and discover the profound impact they have on our planet and our lives. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of geomorphology, revealing the forces that shape landscapes, the hazards they pose, and the inseparable link between human activities and the environment.

Within these pages, you will embark on an exploration of the diverse processes that sculpt our planet's surface. Witness the power of erosion, weathering, and deposition as they transform landscapes over time. Delve into the realm of fluvial and coastal geomorphology, where water's ceaseless flow carves intricate patterns and reshapes coastlines. Unravel the mysteries of volcanic and tectonic processes, witnessing the creation and destruction of landforms on a grand scale.

Geomorphology is not merely an academic pursuit; it has profound implications for addressing some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Gain insights into the causes and consequences of natural hazards such as landslides, floods, and earthquakes, and learn about the strategies we can employ to mitigate their impact. Explore the delicate balance between human activities and the environment, understanding how land use practices, resource extraction, and climate change influence geomorphic processes.

Discover the beauty and complexity of Earth's landscapes, from towering mountains to sprawling deserts, from lush forests to meandering rivers, and from tranquil coastlines to the vast expanse of oceans. Each landscape tells a unique story, bearing witness to the forces that have shaped it over time. Through the lens of geomorphology, we gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things and the profound influence of Earth's surface processes on our planet's history and future.

This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by the intricate workings of our planet. With its engaging narrative, stunning visuals, and thought-provoking insights, it offers a journey into the heart of geomorphology, revealing the secrets of Earth's ever-changing surface.

    “I couldn’t stop reading it. It is well written with good imagery and appeals to those of us who have dealt with fear on any level…” ~ Bruce Weary, D.C., endurance rider 
    Sometimes raw, sometimes humorous, but always honest, this is a true account of a woman’s struggle to overcome a paralyzing fear, get back into the sport she loves, and the friendships she develops along the way. 
    After a lifetime of riding and owning horses and performing both in the show ring and on the trail, a difficult fall off her own horse on her own property leads Pam to realize age is catching up with her and she has become afraid to get back in the saddle. She embarks on a journey to find the perfect horse to help her get back into the tough sport of endurance riding, never knowing she would find help, both physically and emotionally, in a trainer and fellow rider who becomes a great friend. 
    This is a book for anyone who has fear or aging issues, anyone who loves riding horses, and anyone who needs a bit of hope.

    Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves. 
     
     
     
    In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explains—with great passion, authority, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—why it's time to give eggs their moment in the spotlight: it is the eggs that can teach us new and surprising lessons about Earth's history, the trials of life, and the exceptional ways in which natural selection operates to propagate the survival of individual species. 
     
     
     
    Infinite Life: The Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution, and Life on Earth, offers a wholly new perspective on the animal kingdom, and, indeed, life on Earth. By examining eggs from their earliest histories to the very latest fossilized discoveries—encompassing the myriad changes and mutations of eggs from the evolution of yolk, to the hard eggshells of lost dinosaurs, to the animals that have evolved to simultaneously give birth to eggs and live young—Howard reveals untold stories of great diversity and majesty to shed light on the huge impact that egg science has on our lives.

    In "You're Not Doing It Right," Ellen Patnaude bravely opens the door to the haunting reality of Lewy body dementia (LBD) and unravels its profound impact on families. One of the most common types of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, LBD is marked by fluctuations in cognition, hallucinations, and motor symptoms. The journey begins with subtle warnings of small changes in her mother's behavior that worry Patnaude's father, but go unnoticed by the author and her sibling. 
    Through heartfelt storytelling, Patnaude recounts her challenges in addressing the disturbing shifts in her mother's behavior and managing their long-standing, emotionally charged relationship. The pages unfold with raw honesty, detailing the struggles that ensure when a family is faced with a progressive, life-altering diagnosis. In contrast to the 'long goodbye' of Alzheimer's disease, LBD plunges Patnaude and her family into a roller coaster ride from hell. Every emotion is laid bare, from the initial denial to the desperate attempts to help and connect with a loved one slipping away. 
    Patnaude offers invaluable insights and lessons learned in the throes of this heartbreaking journey. With unwavering candor, she reflects on what might have made a difference for herself and her family members and shares the resources that may help other struggling families. She acknowledges the commonality of denial and the universal resistance to accepting a devastating diagnosis, especially when glimpses of normalcy persist. The relentless challenges of caring for someone with any type of dementia often lead to heightened stress, exhaustion, and severe emotional strain on caregivers. In this exploration of love, loss, and resilience, Patnaude extends a compassionate hand to those grappling with similar circumstances, offering solace and understanding within the pages of this deeply moving memoir.
