Beschreibung

Polar Stratosphere explores the fascinating world of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) and their profound impact on Earth's atmosphere. These icy formations, glowing ethereally in the polar skies, play a critical role in ozone depletion. The book examines the unique meteorological conditions, such as the polar vortex, that allow PSCs to form in the extreme cold of the stratosphere. It then details the chemical reactions occurring on their surfaces and what this means for the ozone layer. The book highlights how PSCs exacerbate ozone depletion due to anthropogenic pollutants, despite being a natural phenomenon. It clarifies the distinction between Type I and Type II PSCs based on their composition, explains how these clouds facilitate the conversion of chlorine and bromine into reactive forms, and describes the processes that contribute to the Antarctic ozone hole and Arctic ozone depletion. Using satellite observations and in-situ measurements, this book offers a process-oriented view of atmospheric chemistry, stratospheric meteorology, and climate science. Polar Stratosphere progresses from introducing fundamental concepts to detailing PSC formation and their chemical impacts, culminating in a discussion of their role in ozone depletion. This approach provides a deeper understanding of the intricate interactions within the polar stratosphere, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Earth sciences and environmental issues.

Shepherd’s Sight - A Farming Life

Barbara McLean

A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
		 
For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
		 
Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
		 
With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
