Sinopse

Volcano Ash Fallout examines a critical yet often underestimated threat: the pervasive dangers of volcanic ash from eruptions. It highlights the intersection of earth sciences, geography and public health, focusing on respiratory health risks and disruptions to air travel caused by ash clouds. Volcanic ash, composed of fine particles, can trigger or worsen respiratory ailments, posing a significant threat to populations near active volcanoes. Furthermore, even trace amounts of ash in the atmosphere can cripple air travel, leading to substantial economic losses and widespread disruptions.

 
The book takes a fact-based approach, presenting scientific evidence in an accessible manner. It details the geological processes behind ash formation and dispersal, the specific respiratory illnesses associated with ash exposure, and the economic impacts of flight cancellations. Case studies of past eruptions reveal patterns and inform potential forecasting models, enhancing disaster preparedness.

 
The book progresses from the science of eruptions to the public health consequences, then explores risk mitigation strategies and concludes with actionable steps for individuals, communities, and governments.

Gender Mosaic - Beyond the Myth...

PhD Daphna Joel, Luba Vikhanski

With profound implications for our most foundational assumptions about gender, Gender Mosaic explains why there is no such thing as a male or female brain.For generations, we've been taught that women and men differ in profound and important ways. Women are more sensitive and emotional, whereas men are more aggressive and sexual, because this or that region in the brains of women is smaller or larger than in men, or because they have more or less of this or that hormone. This story seems to provide us with a neat biological explanation for much of what we encounter in day-to-day life. But is it true? According to neuroscientist Daphna Joel, it's not. And in Gender Mosaic, she sets forth a bold and compelling argument that debunks the notion of female and male brains. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, including the groundbreaking results of her own studies, Dr. Joel explains that every human brain is a unique mixture -- or mosaic -- of "male" and "female" features, and that these mosaics don't map neatly into two categories. With urgent practical implications for the way we understand ourselves and the world around us, Gender Mosaic is a fascinating look at the science of gender, sex and the brain, and at how freeing ourselves from the gender binary can help us all reach our full human potential.

Infinity and our Unbounded...

Martin K. Ettington

The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

Wind in the Willows The (version 2)

Kenneth Grahame

This much-loved story follows a group of animal friends in the English countryside as they pursue adventure ... and as adventure pursues them!  The chief characters - Mole, Rat, and Toad - generally lead upbeat and happy lives, but their tales are leavened with moments of terror, homesickness, awe, madcap antics, and derring-do. 
Although classed as children's literature, The Wind in the Willows holds a gentle fascination for adults too.  The vocabulary is decidedly not "Dick and Jane", and a reader with a love of words will find new ones to treasure, even if well-equipped for the journey.  Parents will appreciate the themes of loyalty, manners, self-restraint, and comradeship which are evident throughout the book.  When the characters err, they are prompt to acknowlege it, and so a reading of this book can model good behavior to children, who will otherwise be enchanted with the many ways in which the lives of these bucolic characters differ from modern life. 
This book was so successful that it enabled the author to retire from banking and take up a country life somewhat like that of his creations.  It has been adapted for screen, stage, and even a ride at the original Disneyland.(Summary by Mark F. Smith)
