Summary

Mud Boils Hot explores the intriguing world of geothermal mud pots, often-overlooked features of volcanic landscapes. These dynamic formations offer valuable insights into Earth's inner workings, acting as indicators of underground volcanic activity. The book reveals how these boiling pools are not just geological curiosities, but rather complex ecosystems teeming with unique microbial life and providing clues about subsurface geothermal systems.

 
The book examines the geological processes behind mud pot formation, detailing how water interacts with rocks and sediments. Readers will discover the diverse geochemistry of these environments, including the minerals, gases, and resilient microorganisms that thrive in extreme conditions. For instance, the gases emitted from mud pots can provide vital information about the state of a volcano, aiding in hazard assessment and volcano monitoring.

 
Structured in three parts, Mud Boils Hot progresses from the geological origins of mud pots to their geochemistry and finally, their broader implications for understanding volcanism. This comprehensive approach makes the book a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by the dynamic interplay of geology, chemistry, and biology in volcanic regions.

History of Colombia - An...

Kelly Mass

Colombia’s history is marked by a rich tapestry of indigenous cultures and societies, which laid the foundations for the diverse nation that exists today. Long before the Spanish arrived in 1492, the region was home to advanced civilizations such as the Muisca Confederation, the Quimbaya Civilization, and the Tairona Chiefdoms. These indigenous groups thrived in Colombia's varied geography, establishing complex societies with sophisticated agricultural practices, intricate trade networks, and elaborate spiritual beliefs. 
The Spanish conquest of the Americas brought significant change to the region. Following Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, Spanish explorers began their colonization efforts. In 1538, the Spanish established Bogotá, which became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada. This vast colonial territory included what is now Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. The Spanish imposed their rule over the indigenous peoples, exploiting both the land and the labor of native communities, which would profoundly shape the future of the region.

Wild Yarn - Creating hand-spun...

Imogen Bright Moon

A practical and inspirational guide to choosing, blending and spinning richly textured artisan yarn for weaving, knitting and other textile art applications.
Imogen Bright Moon is a British Romani textile artist who creates richly textured, highly tactile woven textile works from yarn that she spins and blends herself. In this elegantly designed book Imogen reveals the secrets of her practice. In evocative, engagingly written text accompanied by sumptuous images of her work in her studio throughout the year, she explains:
• How to choose raw fibres for use in your work: the author's are ethically sourced from various ecologically responsible sources, including a rescue flock of sheep on the South Downs.

• How to put together different types of fibres – raw sheep's wool, plant fibres such as hemp, soya and wild silk, alpaca hair and much more – to create richly textured yarn.

• The delicate art of blending naturally occurring pigments, working with shade and tone to create subtle and nuanced colours, a process that Imogen likens to a painter mixing paints on a palette.

• The principles of hand-spinning, from a simple single spun thread to more complicated yarns such as triple-chain ply yarn, using a traditional floor spindle.

• How to skein, soak and wet-finish your yarn, and how to store your yarn stash.

• Ideas for taking your yarn into finished craft and art projects, with details of the author's own work.
With an emphasis on engagement with nature, the rhythms of the seasonal craft cycle, ethical making, sustainability and mindfulness, this book is ideal for weavers, textile artists and anyone seduced by the joys of yarn.
