Synopsis

Cracked Earth Yields explores the urgent issue of increasing aridification and its impact on global food security. It examines how communities can adapt through sustainable agricultural systems, focusing on irrigation techniques and crop modifications. Addressing the geographical distribution of drought under climate change, the book highlights innovative approaches, such as drought-resistant crops like sorghum and millet, to enhance resilience. It underscores the importance of understanding both the successes and environmental consequences of irrigation practices, including soil salinization.

 
The book argues for a combined approach of targeted irrigation, informed crop selection, and community-based resource management. Examining traditional flood irrigation alongside modern drip systems, the book analyzes their efficiency and environmental impact. This approach moves beyond simple fixes, advocating for integrated solutions that consider environmental sustainability and social equity.

 
Structured in three parts, the book starts with the science of drought, then evaluates irrigation methods, and finally focuses on crop diversification. By bridging hydrology, agronomy, climate science, and environmental policy, Cracked Earth Yields offers a comprehensive perspective for scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to understand the complexities of drought and develop effective adaptation strategies.

    It had taken about 40 years for Chicago to grow from a small settlement of about 300 people into a thriving metropolis with a population of 300,000, but in just two days in 1871, much of that progress was burned to the ground. In arguably the most famous fire in American history, a blaze in the southwestern section of Chicago began to burn out of control on the night of October 8, 1871.  
    In 2005, the world watched in horror as Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans, and the calamity seemed all the worse because many felt that technology had advanced far enough to prevent such tragedies, whether through advanced warning or engineering. However, the failure of human engineering like that seen in New Orleans was nothing new, and it had previously had even deadlier consequences in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Although floods rarely get as much coverage as other kinds of natural disasters like volcanic explosions, the Johnstown Flood of 1889 has remained an exception due to the sheer destruction and magnitude of the disaster.  
    As bad as Hurricane Katrina was, the hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900 killed several times more people, with an estimated death toll between 6,000-12,000 people. Prior to advanced communications, few people knew about impending hurricanes except those closest to the site, and in the days before television, or even radio, catastrophic descriptions were merely recorded on paper, limiting an understanding of the immediate impact.   
    	On April 18, 1906, most of the residents of the city of San Francisco were sound asleep when the ground started to shake around 5:15 a.m., but what started as fairly soft tremors turned into a violent shaking in all directions. The earthquake lasted about a minute, but it had enough destructive force to divert the course of entire rivers and level much of the 9th largest city in America at the time.

    THE FUTURE OF TRUTH (AND HOW TO GET THERE) 
    Lindley's groundbreaking book explains misinformation, disinformation, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
    We need to talk about 'the truth'. We receive huge amounts of information packed into the stories that we see, hear and read. They change our minds. They cast doubt, divide us and have got us into so much trouble. But there really is hope. 
    The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation has left behind, building up an essential toolkit to help us all to stop, step back from and sidestep false information and fake news wherever we find it.
