Beschreibung

"Salt Flats" explores the captivating world of these unique geological formations, delving into their origins, characteristics, and mesmerizing reflective properties. These landscapes, often blurring the line between earth and sky, are more than just barren expanses; they are dynamic environments offering insights into Earth's past climate and hydrological systems. Understanding how salt flats form involves appreciating geological concepts like sedimentation and evaporation, which the book explains in an accessible manner.

The book examines the geological processes involved in creating salt flats, highlighting the necessary interplay of hydrological cycles, mineral composition, and climate. It also analyzes the specialized ecological niches these harsh environments provide for unique flora and fauna. Furthermore, the optical phenomena behind their reflective surfaces are explored, explaining how smooth, crystalline plains create near-perfect mirror-like reflections.

Notable examples like the Salar de Uyuni and the Bonneville Salt Flats showcase the global distribution of these landscapes. Structured to guide readers logically, the book begins by introducing the global distribution of salt flats and then delves into formation processes. It presents detailed analyses of chemical composition and culminates in an exploration of reflective qualities.

Drawing upon geological surveys, climate records, and remote sensing imagery, the book offers a comprehensive understanding, emphasizing the interplay between geological processes and optical phenomena, making it valuable to students, educators, and nature enthusiasts.

Made in the USA - The Rise and...

Vaclav Smil

In Made in the USA, Vaclav Smil powerfully rebuts the notion that manufacturing is a relic of predigital history and that the loss of American manufacturing is a desirable evolutionary step toward a pure service economy. Smil argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates. 
 
 
  
Smil explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance. He describes American manufacturing's rapid rise at the end of the nineteenth century, its consolidation and modernization between the two world wars, its role as an enabler of mass consumption after 1945, and its recent decline. Some economists argue that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little because the high-value work remains in the United States. But, asks Smil, do we want a society that consists of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed? 
 
 
  
Smil assesses various suggestions for solving America’s manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education. Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? It is crucial to our social and economic well-being; but, Smil warns, the odds are no better than even.

Ending Medical Reversal -...

Vinayak K. Prasad, Adam S. Cifu

Medications such as Vioxx and procedures such as vertebroplasty for back pain are among the medical "advances" that turned out to be dangerous or useless. What Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad and Dr. Adam S. Cifu call medical reversal happens when doctors start using a medication, procedure, or diagnostic tool without a robust evidence base—and then stop using it when it is found not to help, or even to harm, patients.In Ending Medical Reversal, Drs. Prasad and Cifu narrate fascinating stories from every corner of medicine to explore why medical reversals occur, how they are harmful, and what can be done to avoid them. They explore the difference between medical innovations that improve care and those that only appear to be promising. They also outline a comprehensive plan to reform medical education, research funding and protocols, and the process for approving new drugs that will ensure that more of what gets done in doctors' offices and hospitals is truly effective.
