Summary

Caves Hold Clouds explores the fascinating world of fog formation within cave systems, highlighting their unique microclimates. These subterranean environments, often overlooked, can generate localized weather patterns independent of surface conditions. The book argues that the constant temperature, high humidity, and limited airflow within caves create ideal conditions for fog. Intriguingly, this fog influences the formation of unique cave features, called speleothems, and plays a vital role in sustaining specialized cave ecosystems.

 
The book begins with basic meteorological and geological principles, then progresses into the specifics of cave microclimatology and the environmental factors that influence fog, such as groundwater chemistry and air pressure. Through field observations, lab analyses, and climate modeling, the book reveals how cave fog impacts troglobitic species and the overall stability of these subterranean habitats.

 
This exploration provides a new perspective on Earth's interconnected ecosystems and emphasizes the need for cave conservation. The book's approach is unique due to its focus on the interplay between atmospheric and subterranean processes, an area that has not received much attention. It offers valuable insights into the ecological roles of caves, the geochemical processes in karst landscapes, and the impact of climate change on these environments, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the natural world.

    'I proudly wear my badge as a Covid-19 front-line hero. I believe I was meant to be where I am during these trying times.'
Our nurses have witnessed the pandemic first hand, compassionately caring for patients amid war-like circumstances.
The havoc caused by the pandemic highlighted existing fault lines in the South African health system, and nurses faced shortages of staff and vital life-saving equipment. Colleagues tested positive and died. Visitors were not allowed, so nurses had to be intermediaries between patients and desperate family trying to glean information on the phone. Despite these pressures, they remained at the forefront of the fight against the deadly virus.
This book brings together deeply personal stories of caring for patients in wards and ICU, of feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing the fear of getting infected and passing Covid on to their families. There are also moving tales of personal growth and finding renewed purpose. In Our Own Words shows the extreme resilience of nurses – even in the face of adversity. And that at the core of a 'true' nurse remains the commitment to the patient.
'A powerful and moving account from the coalface of the Covid-19 response – this is a must read!' – Salim Abdool Karim

    The book provides a comforting yet accurate overview of the anesthetic process for surgery, aimed at children who are injured and frightened about what to expect. It explains the journey from preoperative holding to the operating room and then to the post-anesthesia care unit. The narrative highlights the steps involved in anesthesia in a medically accurate yet fun and playful way, making the child feel as if they are embarking on a rocket ship ride under anesthesia. This process is portrayed as safe and guided by the anesthetist, who is depicted as a knowledgeable and compassionate guide. 
The child is introduced to the medical equipment they will encounter, such as the face mask, reservoir bag, and vital sign monitors, making them appear approachable and less intimidating. Additionally, the anesthetist is portrayed as an "anesthesia angel" and a real-life superhero, alongside various other healthcare providers who are dedicated to helping and caring for the child. All medical personnel are in scrubs. Ultimately, the child undergoes an inhalational general anesthetic and emerges as their own "astronaut of anesthesia" superhero filled with pride and a beaming smile.

    Finalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award

To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover. Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
