Sinopsis

Frozen Continents explores the crucial role of the Arctic and Antarctic in understanding our planet. It reveals how these icy realms, often viewed as remote wastelands, are dynamic environments deeply connected to the global climate system.

 
The book delves into the unique geographies of both polar regions, highlighting their contrasting geological features and the influence of ice formations on sea levels and weather patterns.

 
Scientific research in these areas, such as analyzing ice core samples, provides invaluable insights into Earth's past climate and helps monitor present environmental changes.

 
The book examines diverse ice formations, including glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice, detailing their formation, movement, and impact on the Earth’s energy balance.

 
It also surveys ongoing scientific investigations in fields like paleoclimatology and oceanography.

 
Ultimately, Frozen Continents argues that understanding these regions is vital for predicting future climate scenarios and informing policy decisions.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geographical differences between the Arctic and Antarctic, then transitions into examining ice formation processes, and concludes with a survey of scientific research and its implications for climate change.

Acres of Diamonds (Version 2)

Russell Conwell

One of the most requested motivational lectures of all time.  "I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich ... The men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in the community. Let me say here clearly ... ninety-eight out of one hundred of the rich men of America are honest. That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money. That is why they carry on great enterprises and find plenty of people to work with them. It is because they are honest men. ." The central idea of the work is that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, achievement, or fortune—the resources to achieve all good things are present in one's own community; look in your own backyard for those acres of diamonds. This theme is developed by an introductory anecdote, credited by Conwell to an Arab guide, about a man who wanted to find diamonds so badly that he sold his property and went off in futile search for them. The new owner of his home discovered that a rich diamond mine was located right there on the property. Conwell elaborates on the theme through examples of success, genius, service, or other virtues involving ordinary Americans contemporary to his audience: "dig in your own backyard!". - Summary by the author

The Family Gene - A Mission to...

Joselin Linder

When Joselin Linder was in her twenties, her legs started to swell. She thought little of it, until her health problems started to compound in ways that baffled her doctors. Diagnosed with extreme liver blockage and dangerous levels of lymph fluid, Joselin turned to the most similar case she could think of—her father’s.
Joselin compared the medical chart of her father—who had died of an undiagnosed disease, ten years prior—-with that of an uncle who had died under similarly strange circumstances. Delving further into the past, she discovered her that her great grandmother had symptoms like hers, and she recognized that she was dealing with something more than a fluke. Whatever had killed her father, uncle, and great-grandmother was likely genetic, and the clock was ticking for the family members of her own generation.
Setting out to build a more complete picture of the disease that haunted her family, she approached Dr. Christine “Kricket” Seidman, the head of a group of world-class genetic researchers at Harvard Medical School and a colleague of her late father’s, for help. Dr. Seidman has been attempting the map the faulty gene for seventeen years and has confirmed not only that Joselin’s symptoms are genetic, but that Joselin’s family is this disease’s founder population—a group of people experiencing the baffling symptoms of a brand new mutation. Here, Joselin she tells the story of their gene: the lives it claimed and the future of genetics it foretells.
Digging into family records and medical history, interviews with family and friends and her own experiences with Harvard doctors, Joselin pieces together the story of a deadly gene to write a gripping and unforgettable exploration of family, history, love, and mortality. A compelling story of survival and perseverance, THE FAMILY GENE is an important story of a young woman reckoning with her father’s death, her own mortality, and her ethical obligations to herself, family, and society.
