Sinopse

Antarctic Mountains unveils the hidden world beneath Antarctica's ice, revealing extensive subglacial mountain ranges. These mountains, comparable to major ranges on other continents, profoundly influence ice sheet dynamics and global sea level rise. This book explores how mapping these ranges, understanding their geological history, and investigating their impact on climate patterns are crucial for predicting future environmental changes. For example, the topography of these mountains controls the flow of ice streams, affecting the ice sheet's overall stability. The book presents a comprehensive view of Antarctic geography, climate science, and geological principles, making complex topics accessible. It details methods like radar sounding and seismic surveys used to map these hidden landscapes. Furthermore, it highlights the geological history of these mountains by analyzing rock samples and remote sensing data, connecting them to global tectonic events. A key focus is the interplay between geology and glaciology, traditionally separate fields, providing a complete picture of the Antarctic environment and its role in the Earth system. Concluding with a discussion on the implications for future sea-level rise and climate trends, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding these subglacial features. By synthesizing geophysical data, geological analyses, and climate modeling, it offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in polar science and environmental issues. The book progresses systematically, building from the discovery of these ranges to their broader implications for our planet's future.

In the Body of the World - A...

Eve Ensler

From the bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues and one of Newsweek's 150 Women Who Changed the World, a visionary memoir of separation and connection—to the body, the self, and the worldPlaywright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body—how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body—a disconnection brought on by her father's sexual abuse and her mother's remoteness. "Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth," she writes, "I could not feel or know their pain."But Ensler is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of harrowing treatment, she is forced to become first and foremost a body—pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully—and gratefully—joined to the body of the world.Unflinching and inspiring, Ensler's In the Body of the World calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world.
