Coastal City Risks

Sinopse

Coastal City Risks examines the growing threats facing urban centers along coastlines due to climate change, exploring how these cities are adapting to rising sea levels and intensifying coastal hazards. The book uniquely integrates Earth Sciences, geography, and environmental studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of climate change adaptation and urban resilience. 

 
Intriguing facts within include the potential for large-scale displacement due to socio-economic impacts and the necessity of moving away from traditional top-down approaches in favor of more inclusive and equitable strategies. 

 
The book progresses logically, first establishing a scientific foundation of climate change and coastal geomorphology. It then analyzes the impacts on sectors like housing and transportation before evaluating adaptation pathways, such as infrastructure and policy instruments. 

 
Case studies from cities worldwide illustrate adaptation successes and failures, offering valuable lessons. The approach emphasizes not only physical sciences but also the social, economic, and political dimensions, making it a resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in coastal management and climate policy.

Early Detection - Catching...

Bruce Ratner, Adam Bonislawski

Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.

In Search of the Old Ones - An...

Anthony D. Fredericks

Ancient trees stand as sentinels against all odds while Earth and its people have changed around them. Award-winning author Anthony D. Fredericks examines their awe-inspiring longevity and evolutionary intelligence, drawing on expert interviews, scientific research, and a remarkable reverence for the environment.

Fredericks focuses on ten of the oldest trees in the United States, ranging from the 1,200-year-old Seven Sisters Oak, a Southern icon draped in Spanish moss that has survived several hurricanes, to the Palmer’s Oak in Southern California that has cloned itself for 13,000 years to stay alive. Other trees include bristlecone pines, regarded as some of the oldest trees in the world, the quaking aspen known as Pando with more than 45,000 identical branches, the Bennett Juniper that grows on land heavily glaciated by the last ice age, and sequoias, the world’s largest trees. Each tree profile opens with time travel stories that provide global historical context and explore the geography at the time when the tree took root.

In present day, Fredericks walks among many of the trees so that readers may too. His immersive perspective captures the trees’ grandeur and sage presence while exploring the science behind their resilience.

A tree that’s lived more than 1,000 years is living archaeology—a tangible connection between the planet’s past and present that helps us better understand its future. Fredericks investigates these extended lifespans and their implications on ecology and humanity. In Search of the Old Ones marvels at thecomplexity of roots, the determination of growth, and the wisdom of forests.

Beneath spreading canopies, readers will experience the strength and magnificence of the country’s most wondrous trees.
