    This bundle is a comprehensive exploration of the forces that shape our planet—and beyond. This engaging volume merges three interconnected scientific fields to offer a captivating look at Earth's dynamic systems and their cosmic parallels. 
    Begin with Geology, the foundational science of Earth’s structure and processes. Learn how tectonic plates shift to create mountains and earthquakes, how minerals form, and how rocks record the history of Earth across billions of years. Uncover the secrets buried deep within Earth's crust, from volcanoes and fossil records to the power of erosion and glaciation. 
    Next, venture into Astrogeology, where Earth science meets space exploration. This field applies geological principles to other celestial bodies—such as the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. Discover how craters form on the Moon, what Martian soil is made of, and what geological features on distant planets can teach us about Earth’s own evolution. 
    Finally, immerse yourself in Hydrology, the study of water in all its forms and movements. From underground aquifers to the ocean’s currents, this section covers the water cycle, river systems, precipitation, and the crucial role of water in sustaining life and shaping landscapes. It also highlights modern challenges like water scarcity, flooding, and the impact of climate change on hydrological systems. 
    Together, these three disciplines offer a rich and accessible guide for students, educators, and lifelong learners fascinated by the inner workings of Earth and its connection to the wider universe.

    If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts. 
    People who develop attachment disorders have trouble regulating emotions and forming healthy relationships. They think negatively about themselves and find it hard to trust others. They often withdraw from social situations because they fear rejection. Some develop fears of intimacy and relationships. Others struggle with anger management issues. Still, others have difficulties controlling impulses and acting responsibly. 
    But, an attachment disorder doesn't mean you'll never recover. Many people overcome these challenges through therapy and support groups. 
    The book describes how attachment disorders affect adults, what they look like, and how to recognize them. It discusses the different types of attachment disorders, such as secure, avoidant, ambivalent/resistant, disorganized, and unresolved, and describes how they are diagnosed and treated. The authors discuss common comorbidities associated with ADs, including anxiety disorder, mood disorder, substance use disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders, and trauma exposure. 
    The Vanessa Alvarez explains why people develop these disorders, and he provides advice on how to help someone who suffers from one. She also includes suggestions for parents, teachers, and therapists.

    A decade to save the planet. 
    That's the current call to arms. Targets are set, governments vow to do their bit and on a societal level we are encouraged to do ours by choosing to forego all things plastic. The question is whether this is the right decision or are we inadvertently at risk of doing more harm than good? Are there other factors in play needing equal consideration? 
    The book will follow the story of plastic, and to an extent rubber (known collectively as polymers), and all with an eye to the overarching theme of the environment. It will ask some challenging questions but also sets out to inform. It begins by building a picture. Just what exactly is a plastic, how did it gain such a dominant role in our lives? Are recent denouncements fully justified? 
    By better understanding plastics, a clearer opinion can be formed of their usefulness and their potential to alleviate serious environmental concerns.

    Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed. 
     
     
     
    In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true in the lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot-button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories. 
     
     
     
    Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways of being human.
