Summary

Salt Grows Crystals unveils the hidden stories within salt deposits, exploring halite formation as a key to understanding Earth's past. Delving into mineralogy, the book reveals how seemingly simple salt crystals act as geological archives, preserving records of ancient seas and climate patterns. Readers will discover how evaporation rates and water chemistry influence halite precipitation, and how analyzing salt formations helps reconstruct past sea levels and tectonic events.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the practical applications of halite research, linking Earth sciences and environmental science. By examining salt deposits from diverse locations, it illustrates how these formations provide insights into climate change and resource availability. It progresses by first introducing halite's fundamental properties, then exploring evaporite formation stages, and finally presenting geological case studies, demonstrating how halite analysis reconstructs past environmental conditions.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, connecting geochemistry, sedimentary geology, and hydrology, makes Salt Grows Crystals valuable for students, geologists, and anyone intrigued by the natural world. The book's accessible style avoids technical jargon, making complex concepts understandable and showcasing the critical role of salt in shaping our planet.

Unsettled - Lord Selkirk’s...

Robert Lower

The fascinating story of the Red River Settlement, now Winnipeg, in the years 1813 to 1816, told with archival journals, reports, and letters
		 
Unsettled tells the story of two hundred Highlanders who flee the Scottish Clearances in 1813 to establish a settlement on the Red River in what eventually became Winnipeg. They are sponsored by the Earl of Selkirk, a man who has never been west of Montreal. Families who have never left their Highland crofts take an epic journey over ocean, up wild rivers, and through boundless wilderness, surviving disease and brutal winter only to face the determined opposition of fur barons who want no sodbusters threatening their trade and are prepared to stop at nothing to destroy their dream.
		 
The “empty” land they’ve been promised is also anything but, already occupied by First Nations bands and the beginnings of that proud nation soon to be called Métis, whom they must befriend or fight.
		 
Unsettled takes you inside the experience, relying on journals, reports, and letters to bring these days of soaring hope, crushing despair, and heroic determination to life — to bring their present into ours.
