Synopsis

Wave Erosion explores the powerful ways ocean waves shape coastlines, creating dramatic features like sea caves and cliffs. It examines how wave mechanics, such as hydraulic action and abrasion, relentlessly erode coastlines. Different rock types respond uniquely; softer sedimentary rocks yield faster than harder igneous formations. This leads to diverse formations and ever-changing coastal landscapes. The book details the progression from understanding wave dynamics and coastal geology to the formation of specific erosion landforms. It connects wave erosion to broader issues, like climate change, which exacerbates the issue, and coastal management, where understanding erosion is vital for informed decisions. Using scientific data, maps, and photos, the book offers an accessible view into a fundamental geological process. The book progresses from wave mechanics and coastal geology to specific landforms and regional examples, culminating in coastal management challenges. By understanding these dynamic processes, readers gain insights into the constant reshaping of our coastlines and the importance of sustainable coastal management. It highlights the need for strategies balancing human intervention with natural processes.

    Meet Dave. Dave is Prime Minister. Dave really wants to do the right thing. He keeps telling us he wants to do the right thing. Again and again and again. One afternoon he told us four times in half an hour.
    
    
    
    Then he went off and did the right thing. Every morning when he wakes up, he reminds himself to remind us that he's doing the right thing.
    
    
    
    But what is the right thing? And what is the wrong thing? And is doing the right thing the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Or is doing the wrong thing the right thing to do when doing the right thing might turn out to be the wrong thing, and doing the wrong thing might turn out to be the right thing?
    
    
    Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER

    Features a new "where are they now" section, with updates about lives of expedition's original climbers and updated resources based on the "Anti-Racism in the Outdoors" (ARITO) guide. 
     
     
     
    Outdoor journalist James Edward Mills's book, The Adventure Gap, is a groundbreaking volume that is equal parts adventure story, history, and inspiration as it chronicles the first American all-Black summit attempt on Denali in 2013. Mills uses this momentous expedition as a jumping-off point to explore diversity in the outdoors, from Mathew Henson who stood at the North Pole in 1909 to contemporary adventurers such as polar explorer Barbara Hillary and rock climber Kai Lightner. 
     
     
     
    This tenth anniversary edition once again shares the compelling events that unfolded during Expedition Denali's summit bid. But it also provides fresh context: A new thought-provoking afterword by Mills examines what has evolved in and around the outdoor community since that effort. He highlights progress and inspiring stories, such as Full Circle Everest, an expedition led by Phillip Henderson that put an all-Black team on top of the world's highest peak. And he points to places where we can and should all strive for higher achievement. The Adventure Gap has become an essential text in outdoor education and inspiration—a story of our times, now more relevant than ever.

    From bestselling author, long-time former National Geographic Explorer, and anthropologist Wade Davis comes the story of America's Nile: how it once flowed freely and how human intervention has left it near exhaustion, altering the water temperature, volume, local species, and shoreline of the river Theodore Roosevelt once urged us to "leave it as it is." 
     
     
     
    Plugged by no fewer than twenty-five dams, the Colorado is the world's most regulated river drainage, providing most of the water supply of Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and much of the power and water of Los Angeles and Phoenix, cities that are home to more than 25 million people. For the entire American Southwest, the Colorado is indeed the river of life, which makes it all the more tragic and ironic that by the time it approaches its final destination, it has been reduced to a shadow upon the sand, its delta dry and deserted, its flow a toxic trickle seeping into the sea. 
     
     
     
    Yet despite more than a century of human interference, Davis writes, the splendor of the Colorado lives on in the river's remaining wild rapids, quiet pools, and sweeping canyons. The story of the Colorado River is the human quest for progress and its inevitable effects—and an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of America's most iconic waterway.
