Summary

Water Falls Up explores the intriguing phenomenon of reverse waterfalls, where water defies gravity and flows upward due to specific atmospheric conditions and wind dynamics. These rare occurrences, often found in unique geographic locations like coastal cliffs and mountainous regions, showcase the powerful interaction between wind, water, and terrain. Understanding these reverse flows offers insights into localized weather patterns and the impact of wind on landscapes, challenging our conventional understanding of nature's forces.

 
The book systematically examines the meteorological principles behind reverse waterfalls, such as wind speed and air pressure, alongside the topographical features that influence wind patterns. By combining observational data, meteorological reports, and fluid dynamics modeling, Water Falls Up presents a comprehensive analysis of this relatively undocumented phenomenon. It progresses from fundamental concepts of wind dynamics to detailed case studies, concluding with a discussion of the broader implications for wind farm placement and coastal erosion management.

 
This book uniquely provides a systematic analysis of reverse waterfalls across different geographic locations, seeking to identify common factors and develop a predictive model. It explains complex concepts in an accessible manner, making it valuable for nature enthusiasts, students, and educators in earth sciences and geography.

    The narratives in this book are of journeys made in three wildernesses—on a coastal island, in a Western mountain range, and on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The four men portrayed here have different relationships to their environment, and they encounter each other on mountain trails, in forests and rapids, sometimes with reserve, sometimes with friendliness, sometimes fighting hard across a philosophical divide.

    God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
Inside, you’ll find: 
A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
Perfect for: 
Recovering theology majors 
Catholic guilt survivors 
Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

    From the award-winning author of Creep comes a powerful book by a writer at the peak of her powers—at once a love letter to California and a literary tour de force that tells the story of resilience and reclamation through a relationship with plants, memory, myth, and indigenous knowledge. Myriam Gurba has lived in California her entire life, with its plants and soils, forests and ecology, immersing herself in the language of the landscape as refracted through the languages and memories of her ancestors. In Poppy State, California plants serve as structural anchors in a wildly inventive work of narrative nonfiction that is part botanical criticism, part personal storytelling, and part study of place. The reader is invited to commune with California with Gurba as their guide, ushered through a compendium of anecdotes, reminiscences, utterances, lists, incantations, newspaper articles, and other ephemera. Through the stories of these plants she comes to a new understanding of what occurs in the cultivation of a soul. Gurba learns if she can care for her body as she does her plants, her soul can thrive—like the California poppy on her kitchen windowsill. And through walks in the Angeles National Forest, she visits oaks, crows, elderberries, and sycamores, while foraging for acorns, flowers, and berries to adorn her altar at home. Poppy State is a riveting tour de force.“The mother of intersectional Latinx identity.” —Cosmopolitan "Scorchingly good."—Cheryl Strayed “The most fearless writer in America.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist  "A truly distinctive, authentic, and dynamic literary voice. . . Myriam Gurba is one of our great American intellectuals." —Los Angeles Times
