Summary

Canyons of China explores the dramatic landscapes of China's deepest canyons, focusing on their formation, ecological significance, and environmental impact. These geological wonders, sculpted by plate tectonics and fluvial erosion over millions of years, play a vital role in shaping ecosystems and influencing regional climate patterns. Notably, canyons like the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon serve as biodiversity hotspots, harboring unique species adapted to isolated habitats. The book examines how these formations aren't simply passive landscape features but active agents of environmental change.

 
The book progresses through thematic chapters, beginning with the geological history of canyon formation and delving into specific canyons, with an emphasis on the Yarlung Tsangpo. It investigates the ecological importance of these canyons and discusses the impact of human activities. By integrating geological surveys, remote sensing data, and ecological field studies, the book, Canyons of China, provides a holistic understanding of these complex environments. It highlights how canyons influence precipitation and temperature, linking geological processes to regional climate patterns, and addresses challenges for conservation.

    Good Nature - Why Seeing...

    We all take for granted the idea that being in nature makes us feel better. But if you were a skeptic who wanted hard scientific evidence for this idea, where would you look? And how would that evidence be gathered? It wasn't until Dr. Kathy Willis was asked to contribute to an international project looking for the societal benefits we gain from plants that she stumbled across a study that radically changed the way she saw the natural world. In the study there was clear proof that patients recovering from gall bladder operations recovered more quickly if they were looking at trees. 
 
 
 
In fact, in the last decade there has been an explosion of "proof" that incredible things happen to our bodies and our minds when our senses interact with the natural world. In Good Nature, Kathy Willis takes the listener on a journey with her to dig out all the experiments around the world that are looking for this evidence. What is remarkable about this book is how its revelations should be commonsense—schools should let children play in nature to improve their health and concentration; urban streets should have trees—and yet it reveals just how difficult it is to prove this to businesses and governments. As Kathy Willis says in her narrative, "Nature is far more than just something that is useful for our health. It is not a dispensable commodity. It is an inherent part of us."
