Sinopse

Seismic Waves explores the fascinating science of earthquakes and the waves they generate, providing insight into Earth's interior and its dynamic processes. These seismic waves, including P-waves and S-waves, are not only responsible for the shaking we feel during an earthquake but also act as a planetary-scale "CAT scan," allowing scientists to map the Earth's inner layers. The book examines how fault mechanics and rock properties influence wave propagation, revealing how energy is released and transferred through the Earth.

 
This exploration of seismology begins with a historical context, tracing the evolution of our understanding from early observations to modern techniques in geophysics and geology. The book progresses logically, first introducing fundamental concepts and then delving into the factors influencing wave generation and propagation. Finally, it discusses the effects of seismic waves on geological structures and the practical applications of seismology, such as earthquake hazard assessment and structural engineering.

 
The book adopts a fact-based approach, using data from seismographic readings, geological field studies, and simulations to present a comprehensive view accessible to students, researchers, and anyone interested in earth sciences.

    This is a massive effort, taking place in England and the Middle East, with a cast of thousands... Well, not thousands, fortunately, but certainly a great many. There are three Bertrams present: Sir Lionel, his son George (our hero), and the wealthy uncle. The primary story involves the joining of two couples (following some rocky periods), and the disposal of the uncle's fortune. The more amusing bits focus on peripheral characters in the social settings of a fictional town and in travel on board ship or touring Egypt. Trollope digresses from time to time to lecture us on religion, politics, and eccentricities of the British tourist. (Summary by Arnold Banner)

    A short pamphlet from WWI, first describing basic nutrition, then discussing what foods may be substituted during food shortages without loss of nutrition. "The last few months have more and more impressed upon Americans the need of preparedness in every department of life. Perhaps some of the alarm created is unnecessary; but with regard to the production, conservation, and prudent use of food, our concern should be timely. In presenting the bulletin upon "Food Preparedness" the University of Buffalo feels sure that it can render the people of this vicinity valuable advice and assistance. The paper has been prepared by Albert P. Sy, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry, who has given the subject of food and diet especial attention for many years." (Summary by TriciaG & from the Introduction)

You’ll hear real stories from women who’ve been there, so you feel normal, supported and part of a sisterhood. You’ll also get practical hacks to improve sleep, manage hormones, reduce symptoms and feel more like yourself again — all delivered with the humour you need to survive midlife. 
    Written by Sallee Hitchins, creator of the Chill & Cheers Menopause Series, this warm and witty guide blends women’s health education with emotionally honest storytelling. It’s the perfect companion for any woman navigating midlife, offering clarity, comfort and cheerleading when your hormones start freelancing.

  • Natural Processes in Textile Art - From Rust Dyeing to Found Objects - cover

    Natural Processes in Textile Art...

    More and more textile artists are using natural processes in their work, from dyeing with rust to working with found and scavenged items, and this book is the first to bring these increasingly popular techniques together. It promotes a way of working creatively with what is close at hand, whether gathered on walks by the seashore or collected in your garden, and working in tune with natural processes, bringing the rhythms and unpredictability of nature into your work.
    Examples of this type of working include rust dyeing embroidered fabric to give it a natural patina, dyeing with garden fruits or seaweed, weaving with pieces of beachcombed fibre and printing with found objects. In all of this work nature is directly harnessed to make its mark.
    The book is illustrated with the finest examples of contemporary embroidery and textile-art work using nature, by artists whose practice is tied up with their experience of and respect for the natural environment, often capturing a very strong sense of place and a feeling of calmness and contemplation.

    Some journeys change your destination. Others change you. 
    In The Road Teaches You, celebrated travel writer Reece Davis reflects on decades spent wandering across six continents — from dusty border crossings and rain-soaked bus rides to fleeting moments of human kindness that leave an indelible mark. 
    Through encounters with nomads, poets, fishermen, and strangers who became friends, Davis reveals how travel’s greatest lessons aren’t found in guidebooks or landmarks, but in the quiet wisdom of those met along the way. 
    Tender, honest, and deeply observant, The Road Teaches You is both a memoir and a meditation — an ode to curiosity, compassion, and the shared humanity that makes every road worth walking.
