Sinossi

Avalanche Trigger Points explores the intricate factors that lead to avalanches, emphasizing that these events aren't random but result from specific triggers acting on unstable snowpacks. It investigates how subtle shifts in snow layering, combined with terrain features and weather patterns, can create deadly conditions. The book uniquely focuses on these immediate triggers, offering a nuanced understanding of avalanche risk. Readers will gain insight into how the book progresses from fundamental snow science principles to detailed analyses of snow layering, terrain influence, and weather's role. For example, it explains how slope angle and aspect affect snowpack stability, or how rapid temperature increases can act as a natural trigger. By examining past avalanches and drawing on data from global research institutions, the book supports its arguments with empirical evidence. Ultimately, Avalanche Trigger Points aims to improve avalanche forecasting, risk assessment, and safety practices. This book provides actionable advice for professionals and recreationalists alike, making it invaluable for anyone navigating avalanche terrain and aiming to understand mountain ecosystems and snow science.

    Consciousness - How Our Brains...

    What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads?
    
    Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real?
    
    In this book, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves.
    
    This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

    Human life, and how we came to be, is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical questions of our time. This compact and accessible book presents a modern view of human evolution. Written by a leading authority, it lucidly and engagingly explains not only the evolutionary process, but the technologies currently used to unravel the evolutionary past and emergence of Homo sapiens. By separating the history of palaeoanthropology from current interpretation of the human fossil record, it lays numerous misconceptions to rest, and demonstrates that human evolution has been far from the linear struggle from primitiveness to perfection that we've been led to believe. It also presents a coherent scenario for how Homo sapiens contrived to cross a formidable cognitive barrier to become an extraordinary and unprecedented thinking creature. Understanding Human Evolution is for anyone interested in the complex and tangled story of how we came to be.
