Sinopse

Earthquake Prediction Limits explores the complex challenges of forecasting earthquakes, a pursuit that has intrigued scientists for over a century. While seismology has advanced significantly, predicting the precise timing and location of earthquakes remains elusive. The book delves into the physics of earthquakes, examining fault mechanics and seismic wave behavior to illustrate why accurate short-term predictions are so difficult. For example, the unpredictable nature of fault rupture makes pinpointing the exact moment of an earthquake extremely challenging.

 
The book reviews historical attempts at earthquake prediction, highlighting both successes and failures to provide valuable lessons. It also examines statistical methods for seismic risk assessment, emphasizing the importance of focusing on long-term probabilities rather than short-term forecasts. Earthquake Prediction Limits progresses from fundamental earthquake science to the application of statistical methods, culminating in a discussion of the societal implications of earthquake prediction and risk communication.

 
Ultimately, the book argues for a pragmatic approach to disaster preparedness, focusing on robust building codes and public education.

Where the Trout Are All as Long...

John Gierach

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
 
 
 
Fly-fishing's finest scribe, John Gierach, takes us from a nameless stream on a nameless ranch in Montana to a secret pool off a secret creek where he caught a catfish as a five-year-old, to a brook full of rattlesnakes and a private pond where the trout are all as long as your leg. As Gierach says, "The secret places are the soul of fishing." Hearing about a new one never fails to entice us. 
 
 
 
And so Where the Trout Are All as Long as Your Leg transports the listener to the best of these places, where the fish are always bigger and the hatches last forever. After all, it's these magical places that Gierach so vividly evokes that remind us how precious—and precarious—are the unspoiled havens of the natural world.

Brain and Heart - The Triumphs...

David I. Sandberg M.D., Arianna...

Dr. David Sandberg, an internationally renown pediatric neurosurgeon, combines his deep scientific and medical knowledge with raw emotion and unforgettably powerful stories of courage and love. The brain is the most complicated and perplexing of our organs, and it is also the one that makes us human. When it comes to a child's brain, the hearts of those who love them become inextricably linked to that story. 
 
 
 
In Brain and Heart, Dr. Sandberg describes the joy, heartbreak, uncertainty, and physical and emotional challenges that come with performing brain surgery on children. While most medical memoirs focus largely on the patient perspective, Dr. Sandberg allows listeners access to his private thoughts when making agonizing decisions. 
 
 
 
A father himself, Dr. Sandberg understands deeply how every one of his patients is an entire world, and his devotion to his patients and his work shines through. We follow him as he finds his way to neurosurgery as a young doctor through to his most heartbreaking cases and greatest triumphs. We also travel with him to underserved countries, where lifesaving surgeries that are common here are almost nonexistent, and Dr. Sandberg shares the stories of the dedicated doctors and surgeons trying to enact change. Brain and Heart is an unforgettable book that will strengthen our sense of compassion and hope.

How To Make It In Nursing As A...

Patrice M Foster

Are you a man looking to get into nursing and do not know how to?
Do you wish to understand just what it takes to become a nurse in a female-dominated field?
If so, then you have come to the right place.
This book will usher you into the world of being a male nurse and thriving at it!
For a better part of the last decade, nursing has been considered a female domain, with men being looked at as anomalies in the field. The view that men cannot make good nurses has thus led to widespread stereotypes of men who get into the field. Men in nursing are generally often viewed with suspicion, with people even questioning their sexual orientation.
However, as you will learn in this book, nursing had originally been a field meant for men. During the old periods up until the 19thcentury, large-scale caregiving was a role that was meant for men. Thus, this already defeats the stereotype that men lack the necessary temperament to get into nursing.
Furthermore, men who get into nursing consider it the most fulfilling profession that they could choose and simply want to care for people.
So, perhaps you may be wondering…
Why is it hard for men to get into nursing?
What are some of the challenges male nurses face in the profession?
How do female nurses react to and treat their male colleagues?
What are male nurses doing to change the negative perception of men in the field?
What does the future hold for male nurses?
If these and many questions are bothering you, then this is the book that answers them and more, as it covers the ins and outs of becoming a male nurse and how to make the best of it.
