Sinossi

"Waves Shape Coasts" explores how wave dynamics relentlessly sculpt coastlines through erosion and deposition, a crucial understanding for coastal management and climate change adaptation. The book highlights the mechanics of wave erosion, detailing processes like hydraulic action and abrasion, where waves compress air into cracks, fracturing rocks, and the grinding of rock fragments smooths surfaces. It also explains how coastal surveys using advanced technologies such as LiDAR and GPS precisely map and monitor these ever-changing shorelines. The book integrates traditional fieldwork with modern remote sensing techniques, offering a holistic view of coastal dynamics. Progressing logically, it begins with wave dynamics and geomorphology, then examines specific erosional processes with global case studies. Coastal survey techniques are detailed, culminating in a discussion of coastal management, conservation, and climate change adaptation. This approach provides readers with a blend of academic rigor and accessible explanations, valuable for students and professionals in earth sciences, geography, and environmental science.

    We're Overdosed looks at the history of opium and the drug's spread throughout the world. It traces the origin of morphine from opium, the subsequent synthesis of opioids, and the birth of the global pharmaceutical industry. From Barry I. Gold's point of view as a scientist, he offers thoughts about gaining control of prescription opioids through Federal legislation. With the tragic epidemic of deaths from overdose, chiefly from illicit sources, he shares how the U.S. could lead in eradicating world trade of illicit drugs. The story also looks forward and asks how new treatments offer hope in treating addiction.

    In a time of dire need, as climate change, conflict, and economic upheaval imperil our existence and our mental well-being deteriorates from not utilising our minds as God intended, Francis Keith Robins introduces a groundbreaking approach to saving humanity – reshaping our thought processes through mathematics.
     
    In his book, The Fourth Coming, Robins provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to unlocking our inherent mathematical potential. His vision is to create a society that is inclusive, equal, and peaceful – one that aligns with God’s desire for us. He advocates for a paradigm shift where shared mathematical models and systematic thinking supplant the ineffective classes of governments and institutions currently jeopardizing our planet. This revolutionary approach aims to alter the trajectory of human history in a manner that aligns with divine intentions. 
     
    Robins’ theories, described as a work of mathematical brilliance, offer a refreshingly simple yet profound solution to consciousness – which, as noted by ‘New Scientist’, remains one of the most elusive and significant mysteries in science and philosophy. Furthermore, he concludes that the introduction of religion by God was a response to 
    humanity’s failure to use their brains as He intended.

    This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
     
     
     
    The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.
