Sinossi

Snow Falls Red explores the intriguing phenomenon of "blood snow" or "watermelon snow," where normally pristine white snow turns vivid shades of red and pink. This increasingly common sight in Arctic and alpine regions is caused by cold-adapted algae, specifically Chlamydomonas nivalis, which possess red carotenoid pigments protecting them from intense UV radiation. These pigments, while visually captivating, reduce the snow's albedo effect, accelerating snowmelt and potentially impacting water resources. 

 
The book examines the biology and ecology of these snow algae and how climate change influences their spread. It argues that the increasing prevalence of colored snow directly results from climate change, creating a feedback loop that worsens warming in vulnerable areas. The book progresses from introducing snow algae and their adaptations to exploring environmental factors influencing algal blooms, consequences of colored snow on ecosystems, and broader climate change implications.

 
Drawing from microbiology, ecology, and climatology, Snow Falls Red presents field studies, lab experiments, and satellite imagery. By connecting microscopic organisms to global climate patterns, the book offers a comprehensive perspective, highlighting the urgency of further investigation and proactive solutions for this increasingly concerning issue.

    The Family Gene - A Mission to...

    When Joselin Linder was in her twenties, her legs started to swell. She thought little of it, until her health problems started to compound in ways that baffled her doctors. Diagnosed with extreme liver blockage and dangerous levels of lymph fluid, Joselin turned to the most similar case she could think of—her father’s. 
    Joselin compared the medical chart of her father—who had died of an undiagnosed disease, ten years prior—-with that of an uncle who had died under similarly strange circumstances. Delving further into the past, she discovered her that her great grandmother had symptoms like hers, and she recognized that she was dealing with something more than a fluke. Whatever had killed her father, uncle, and great-grandmother was likely genetic, and the clock was ticking for the family members of her own generation. 
    Setting out to build a more complete picture of the disease that haunted her family, she approached Dr. Christine “Kricket” Seidman, the head of a group of world-class genetic researchers at Harvard Medical School and a colleague of her late father’s, for help. Dr. Seidman has been attempting the map the faulty gene for seventeen years and has confirmed not only that Joselin’s symptoms are genetic, but that Joselin’s family is this disease’s founder population—a group of people experiencing the baffling symptoms of a brand new mutation. Here, Joselin she tells the story of their gene: the lives it claimed and the future of genetics it foretells.  
    Digging into family records and medical history, interviews with family and friends and her own experiences with Harvard doctors, Joselin pieces together the story of a deadly gene to write a gripping and unforgettable exploration of family, history, love, and mortality. A compelling story of survival and perseverance, THE FAMILY GENE is an important story of a young woman reckoning with her father’s death, her own mortality, and her ethical obligations to herself, family, and society.

    In Soul Friend and Other Love Notes to the Natural World, author and naturalist Sheila McEntee artfully conveys her deep love of the natural world and the solace she finds there. In twelve brief personal essays, spanning 20 years, she explores the flora and fauna in Appalachian forests, on the shores of the Potomac River, and, especially, in her own backyard, as she navigates the joys and trials of an introspective life: love, loss, death, loneliness, intimacy, uncertainty, and, ultimately, self-knowing and self-acceptance. In this small volume, we learn that nature teaches resiliency, and to be present to it is to find joy. Indeed, there is no heartache or struggle for which it does not offer comfort.
