Summary

Marsh Sinking Dangers explores the often-hidden dangers present in wetland ecosystems, focusing on the perilous phenomenon of bog entrapment. It delves into the science and geography behind these treacherous environments; did you know that wetlands act as crucial natural filters and flood buffers?

 
The book examines how bogs form and the processes leading to entrapment, while also exploring the evolution of extraction techniques, from basic methods to advanced technology. The book progresses logically, beginning with the basics of wetland ecosystems and bog properties, then moves to the mechanisms of entrapment, considering soil composition and water saturation.

 
It uniquely combines scientific rigor with practical insights, providing actionable recommendations for improved safety and conservation, which is vital as human activities encroach more and more on these environments. The book also emphasizes the importance of understanding the interplay between hydrology, soil science, and environmental engineering.

 
The book culminates with a discussion of preventative measures, including risk assessment and sustainable land usage, highlighting solutions for minimizing future incidents. By understanding the dynamics of marsh sinking, emergency responders, land managers, and policymakers can make informed decisions about risk assessment, resource allocation, and environmental protection.

    Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
    Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
    In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
    I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
    Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
    Warm regards,

    Peter Murtagh decided it was time to embark on 'The Great Retirement Project' - riding a motorbike from Tierra Del Fuego at the very southern tip of South America, to the most northerly point in Alaska, alone and without the pressure of any deadline.
    Aged 69, just him, a tent, a bike and a sleeping bag.
    En route, Peter explored magical, wonderful and extraordinarily out-of-the-way parts of our bruised world, met incredible people from all walks of life and observed a great swathe of the Americas. Travelling alone on the 45,000km journey allowed him a rare opportunity to disconnect from hectic daily life and to embrace the solitude, challenge and peace-of-mind of the road less travelled.
    From Tip to Top is a story of optimism and hope and the adventure of a lifetime, and is a ground-level portrait of the Americas as we rarely see them.

    **2016 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Award Winner* *National Indie Excellence Award Finalist** When most women go through a mid-life crisis, they start a diet, get plastic surgery, or have an affair. My life went to the dogs...and horses...and llamas... and did I mention happy hour with the goats?My urban world came apart, so I took a leap of faith and crash-landed on a dilapidated would-be horse farm on the flat, windy, treeless prairie of Colorado. It was a place where white horses turn pink at sunrise and I didn't have to worry about locking the back entry to the house, because the door was missing. The biggest social event of any week was greeting the trash man on Tuesday. And what should I do about the deceased llama in the laundry room? 
    Any decent midlife crisis has a quality of time travel, in this case swinging back to my childhood farm and my disconnected, secretive family, then forward to the animals who became my family on the prairie. My dogs and horses were soon joined by some line-dancing llamas and a biker-gang of goat kids, defying gravity and every other rule. I rescued an abused donkey who told me he was Ernest, and Windy, an un-wanted chestnut mare who became our beloved herd matriarch. Even Fred, the duck lived by a code. 
    It's the memoir of my bittersweet transition from a mid-life orphan to a modern pioneer woman, building an entirely different kind of family farm. 
    Stable Relation appeals to all animal lovers, midlife survivors, and anyone whose parents had problems of their own. It's told in a strong, bittersweet voice, sharing life and death on a small farm and the healing power of animals: James Herriot meets Janette Walls.

    A History of Ancient Egypt’s...

    Africa may have given rise to the first humans, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.  
    For almost four millennia, the Great Pyramids of Ancient Egypt have been widely hailed as the single greatest archeological feat man has ever accomplished. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to have survived into the modern age. Unlike so many pieces of the historical record which have been “re-discovered,” relatively recently (in the grand scheme of things,” in their four thousand years of existence, the Great Pyramids have never allowed themselves to be truly forgotten by the human civilization which has never ceased to regard them with wonder and awe. 
    Egypt also impressed its contemporaries. The 5th century B.C. Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Egypt was “the gift of the Nile” because the river made its soil so fertile and thus helped create one of the first great civilizations. Indeed, the land of Egypt so impressed the Greeks that when Alexander the Great conquered the Nile Valley in the 4th century B.C., he decided that he would build a new city on its soil and name it Alexandria. After Alexander, the city of Alexandria grew and became the most important city in the world for centuries as it watched and played a role in the rise and fall of numerous dynasties. The city also became home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Lighthouse of Alexandria – and a center of culture and learning, which was exemplified by the Library of Alexandria.
