Synopsis

Subglacial Lakes explores the hidden world beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, revealing vast aquatic ecosystems that offer unique insights into Earth sciences, biology, and even astrobiology. These lakes, shrouded in perpetual darkness, harbor microbial life that has evolved in isolation for millions of years, providing valuable clues about the limits of life and its adaptability in extreme environments. The book emphasizes how studying these systems is crucial, given their influence on ice sheet stability, which directly impacts predictions of future sea-level rise.

 
The book reveals how the study of subglacial lakes uses geophysical techniques like radar sounding and seismic surveys. It progresses through the geological context of lake formation to the biogeochemical properties discovered through direct sampling, such as at Lake Vostok and Lake Whillans. By integrating geological, geophysical, and biological perspectives, Subglacial Lakes presents a holistic view of these interconnected systems, highlighting their relevance to climate change and the potential for life on icy moons.

    A valuable discovery under the world’s second-largest temperate wetland and in the traditional lands of the Cree and Ojibway casts light on the growing conflict among resource development, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous rights
    		 
    When prospectors discovered a gigantic crescent of metal deposits under the James Bay Lowlands of northern Canada in 2007, the find touched off a mining rush, lured a major American company to spend fortunes in the remote swamp, and forced politicians to confront their legal duty to consult Indigenous Peoples about development on their traditional territories. But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks.
    		 
    In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally. Ultimately, Heffernan strikes a hopeful note: the Ring of Fire presents an opportunity for Canada to leave behind centuries of plunder and set the global standard for responsible development of minerals critical to the green energy revolution.

    With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
     
     
     
    Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.
