Sinopsis

Biggest Islands explores the Earth's largest islands as microcosms reflecting global patterns of geological activity, cultural evolution, and ecological adaptation. These major islands showcase unique ecosystems and diverse human cultures, making their study crucial for understanding broader global trends. For example, certain islands exhibit a remarkable concentration of endemic species, highlighting their importance in global biodiversity, while others reveal how isolation has shaped distinct cultural practices. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, blending earth sciences, geography, and nature to examine geological formations, biodiversity, and cultural evolution. It begins by defining the criteria for "major islands" and then delves into case studies like Greenland, New Guinea, and Madagascar. Each island's geographical features, biodiversity, and human cultures are explored in detail, using geological surveys, ecological studies, and anthropological research to offer a holistic analysis. The book progresses by providing detailed geographical descriptions followed by analysis of unique ecosystems and anthropological exploration of human cultures that have developed on each island.

Right Down + Circle - Tony...

Cole Nowicki

An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
		 
Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
		 
In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
		 
Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

Biodiversity Conservation - A...

David W. Macdonald

Extinction is a natural process. In geological time there have been several periods of mass extinction. One of these periods is unfolding right now but all the evidence suggests that current extinction rates are between a hundred and a thousand times greater than the background rate. To put this in to context, a quarter of all known mammalian species is at risk. The current extinction crisis is unique, because it is caused by the impact of one species, humans, on all others. This acceleration of species loss, and the much more widespread reductions in the populations of many species, is not merely a tragedy in aesthetics, it is also a threat to the quality of human life, indeed to the entire human enterprise. 
 
 
 
Biodiversity, the diversity of life, is not only fascinating and beautiful, it is the engine of all the world's natural cycles, and the source of many of the resources on which humanity depends. Concern about biodiversity conservation is, therefore, not merely the preoccupation of a few enthusiastic naturalists—it is the lifeline business of everybody. 
 
 
 
David Macdonald introduces the concept of biodiversity and the basic biological processes that it involves—evolutionary, ecological, and behavioral. He considers the various threats to biodiversity, their impacts, and some of the solutions to the problems.
