Summary

"Ice Sings Low" reveals the hidden world of glaciers through their unique sounds, exploring glacier acoustics and seismology to understand these icy giants. The book highlights that glaciers aren't static but dynamic systems, generating seismic signals that offer insights into their structure, movement, and response to climate change. By interpreting these icequakes and other glacial sounds, scientists can monitor ice flow velocity and detect instability, much like using a stethoscope on the Earth.

 
The book starts with the basics of ice mechanics and seismology, then explains how these sounds originate from events like basal sliding and crevassing. Case studies from Greenland, Antarctica, and the Himalayas demonstrate how glacier sounds vary across different environments. This approach connects climatology, geophysics, and environmental science.

 
The innovative approach of "Ice Sings Low" uses acoustics to monitor glacial processes, offering a new perspective on these complex environments. By understanding these seismic signals, scientists can improve glacier monitoring programs and better predict sea-level rise.

Underground - Stories to...

Adrián Godás

The thrilling history of the extraction and economic control of the world's major minerals – from Antiquity to the present day: gold, copper, iron, lithium, rare earths, and more.
Why should you read this book? Mining is on the verge of regaining a central role on the global stage. As the world gradually shifts toward deglobalization and an indirect confrontation between the United States and China – while countries like Russia and India seek to assert their influence in this emerging multipolar landscape – mineral extraction is becoming ever more strategic. Meanwhile, humanity, faced with the grave threat of climate change, is undergoing an energy transition that demands (and will continue to demand) more metals than ever before. To understand the relevance of mining today, we must revisit its past. History reveals the crucial role that metals and mines have played in shaping nations' destinies – closely monitored, even in recent times like the Cold War, by governments and powerful corporations alike.
From the jungles of the Congo to the glaciers of the Canadian Arctic, from the California Gold Rush to high-altitude excavations in Argentina, and the tale of Spanish tungsten during the Third Reich, Underground is a gripping guided tour through an ancient yet largely misunderstood industry – often reduced to caricatures and oversimplifications in public discourse.
"Brilliant. Essential to understanding the relevance of mining today." Alberto Lavandeira, CEO of Atalaya Mining

Made To Live

Dr. Paul Saba

Made to Live depicts a physician’s journey to save lives. Dr. Paul Saba begins his story with the battle to save the life of his baby girl, Jessica, who was born with a severe congenital cardiac malformation. He describes the challenges of facing difficult diagnoses through both his personal experiences and those of his patients. This book debunks the myths of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba’s battle has taken him to the Canadian courts, where he has been silenced from challenging Canada’s euthanasia laws. He has been forbidden from utilizing the Canadian Constitution or presenting his arguments in court to oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dr. Saba believes no one can know what the future holds. Hope and loving support can overcome many obstacles in life’s journey. In the end, we are all “made to live,” as his daughter Jessica inscribed on one of her paintings at seven years old.
