Summary

Wind-Powered Wells explores the innovative use of wind power for groundwater extraction in arid regions, offering a sustainable, off-grid solution to combat water scarcity. It highlights how pairing wind turbine technology with desert hydrology can transform barren landscapes into thriving ecosystems. The book argues that this method, when thoughtfully implemented, can significantly contribute to desert reclamation, challenging traditional fossil-fuel-dependent approaches. One intriguing fact is the potential for these systems to provide a cleaner and cheaper alternative to conventional water pumping.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to wind energy and desert hydrology. It then delves into the evolution of wind turbine technology specifically designed for water pumping, analyzing various mechanisms and their suitability. Further sections address practical considerations for site selection and groundwater resource assessment, followed by case studies from around the world, showcasing both successes and failures. These examples highlight the critical factors that determine the viability of wind-powered wells, such as community involvement and sustainable extraction methods.

 
The book culminates with a framework for evaluating the feasibility of new projects, considering environmental, economic, and social factors.

    "Quite simply this is an excellent book. It is well-written, with snatches of dry humour. It should be mandatory reading for anybody who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing." —R. W. F. Poole, Daily Telegraph 
 
How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? 
 
Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.

    "This account of how a once reviled theory, Baye’s rule, came to underpin modern life is both approachable and engrossing" (Sunday Times).  A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Bayes' rule appears to be a straightforward, one-line theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective new information, we get a new and improved belief. To its adherents, it is an elegant statement about learning from experience. To its opponents, it is subjectivity run amok. In the first-ever account of Bayes' rule for general readers, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne explores this controversial theorem and the generations-long human drama surrounding it.   McGrayne traces the rule’s discovery by an 18th century amateur mathematician through its development by French scientist Pierre Simon Laplace. She reveals why respected statisticians rendered it professionally taboo for 150 years—while practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving great uncertainty and scanty information, such as Alan Turing's work breaking Germany's Enigma code during World War II.   McGrayne also explains how the advent of computer technology in the 1980s proved to be a game-changer. Today, Bayes' rule is used everywhere from DNA de-coding to Homeland Security. Drawing on primary source material and interviews with statisticians and other scientists, The Theory That Would Not Die is the riveting account of how a seemingly simple theorem ignited one of the greatest controversies of all time.
