Summary

Vanishing National Parks explores the growing threats to these protected areas, revealing how climate change, deforestation, and human activities endanger these vital ecosystems. National parks, beyond being scenic landscapes, are critical for biodiversity, climate regulation, and scientific research. The book emphasizes that traditional conservation methods are insufficient, advocating for proactive strategies and collaborative partnerships to reverse environmental degradation. For example, altered precipitation patterns are already impacting park ecosystems.

 
The book systematically builds its argument, beginning with the ecological significance of parks before analyzing the threats they face. It dedicates major sections to climate change impacts, deforestation and habitat fragmentation, and sustainable solutions, presenting case studies and policy recommendations. By integrating scientific research with practical solutions, Vanishing National Parks offers a unique perspective, highlighting the urgency of action while remaining optimistic about positive change.

Open for Interpretation - A...

Alicia Blando M.D.

Dr. Alicia Blando learned during the early days of the HIV epidemic that American medical practices fail to holistically support patients. Seeing a gap in medical care, Dr. Blando started seeking advice from unconventional counselors, such as psychics, mediums and astrologers, as well as learning from indigenous healers. “Open for Interpretation: A Doctor’s Journey into Astrology” follows Dr. Blando’s self-discovery journey through her astrological chart and demonstrates how readers can apply this ancient practice to their own path to self-discovery.  
In conjunction with Western medicine, Dr. Blando believes that the tenets of astrology can support a person’s health, wellbeing, and self-understanding, and can even offer insight into predispositions for certain diseases and illnesses. Dr. Blando takes readers on her pursuit of life’s age-old question, “Am I walking the right path?” She travels from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, and learns about time-proven, holistic methods of healing. In her stunning memoir, she shares her story of finally finding the guide she’s been seeking—and explains how we can all use that map to access our higher selves and untapped potential.  
In “Open for Interpretation”, Dr. Blando’s expedition off the beaten path leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge and experience.

How the World Flows -...

Albert Folch

How the World Flows acts like a microscope that pulls the listener into the barely noticeable, Lilliputian world of fluids at small scales—the microfluidic world—and answers the question "What is microfluidics?" in non-technical language.Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers.This book also shows that many processes essential to life on Earth—such as the formation of raindrops, the rise of sap in plants, and the percolation of water through soil—are all microfluidic marvels. It examines how our cells breathe, feed, and fight diseases through small capillaries. Through engaging and digestible stories, Folch takes a lens to this tiny science and demonstrates how big a role microfluidics play in life as we know it.

Looking Down the Tree - The...

Mitchell B. Cruzan

We know much about our history from bones and DNA, but these studies do not tell us about the characteristics that are not preserved in the fossil record―the fleshy parts and behaviors. Looking Down the Tree applies evolutionary principles to understand the history of our species and the pressures of natural selection which led to our unique appearance and behaviors.Cruzan draws upon evidence from fossils, genomics, phylogenetics, coalescence theory, and the anatomy and physiology of our human ancestors and other animals to arrive at an understanding of the origin of human appearance and behavior. This evidence is discussed in the context of comparative biology, natural and sexual selection, evolutionary constraints, inbreeding and inclusive fitness, and genetic and cultural evolution.The story of our past that we piece together provides a novel view of how savanna habitats favored a unique set of adaptations. Other characteristics were outcomes of increasing brain size, which led to the birth of helpless infants that required years of childcare. We end this discussion with an evaluation of the importance of cultural evolution, as the transmission of skills and knowledge became ever-more important for human life. Like any other species, we discover that we are the product of the environments that our ancestors experienced.

Do Elephants Have Knees? and...

Charles R. Ault

What makes a penguin a bird? Is a camel more closely related to a horse than to a giraffe? Why is a whale not a fish? Similar puzzles preoccupied Charles Darwin throughout his life. Whimsy, in the playfulness of stories for children, is a way to appreciate Darwinian histories. 
In Do Elephants Have Knees? Charles R. Ault Jr. uses the fanciful imagery of story to explain Darwinian thought. At the same time, he launches careful consideration of Darwin’s humanity, the origins of his curiosity, and the reach of his ideas. 
Ault’s approach illustrates the value of story form in learning science and provides a wealth of resources for enriching courses that focus on Darwin’s ideas. “Good storytelling mines curiosity,” Ault writes, “and exuberant playfulness enriches a disciplined study of science.”
