Sinossi

Mountain Facts explores the fascinating world of Earth's mountains, examining their formation, the harsh environments they create, and the surprising ecosystems they support. The book answers the questions of how these landforms arose and what enables life in such challenging places. Mountains play a vital role in shaping our planet's geography, influencing global weather patterns, providing water resources, and harboring unique biodiversity.

 
Did you know mountains can form through tectonic activity, volcanic eruptions, and erosion? Also, mountain climates have low oxygen levels, intense solar radiation, and frigid temperatures.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to major mountain ranges and their formation through plate tectonics and orogeny. It moves on to the extreme climates of high altitudes and their impact on landscapes and organisms. Finally, it investigates the diverse mountain ecosystems and the remarkable adaptations of plants and animals. This approach integrates geological processes, environmental conditions, and biological adaptations, offering a holistic view of mountain environments.

    Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
     
     
     
    Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
     
     
     
    A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.

    Why do some societies crumble under pressure while others rise stronger? 
    What can the past teach us about surviving the shocks of the future? 
    And how can humanity adapt in the age of AI?
