Sinopsis

Deadliest Roads explores the world's most dangerous routes, examining the intersection of Earth Sciences, Geography, and human ingenuity. It delves into how geological instability, such as landslides and extreme weather, combines with social and economic pressures to create perilous travel conditions. These roads, vital lifelines for isolated communities, highlight a complex interplay between environmental challenges and the need for connectivity.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from engineering, sociology, and economics to understand the risks and mitigation strategies. The book investigates specific dangerous roads across the globe, analyzing geological profiles, the challenges they present, and implemented engineering solutions. Using a narrative nonfiction style, Deadliest Roads presents information through real-world experiences.

 
It progresses from establishing a foundation in Earth Sciences to analyzing sociological and economic factors, showcasing dangerous roads, and discussing future challenges.

I Think Therefore I’m Wrong -...

Sophia Blackwell

I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back. 
René Descartes: French, wealthy, suspicious of everything, and armed with just enough Latin to convince the world that his personal identity crisis was actually a groundbreaking intellectual framework. From doubting the entire universe to claiming God exists because the idea of God felt right, Descartes pioneered a system so elegantly flawed it haunted philosophers for centuries—and now you get to enjoy the wreckage. 
In this book, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, Leibniz’s Monads) takes you on a laugh-out-loud demolition tour of: 
The Four-Step Method of Doubt, also known as gaslighting the cosmos 
The Cogito, or how to accidentally make thinking sound smug 
God as epistemological tech support 
Mind-body dualism, or “what if you’re just a haunted skeleton?” 
Descartes’ legacy in science, psychology, AI, and every freshman who says “I'm not my body, bro.” 
Whether you’re a philosophy student, a recovering Cartesian, or just here to watch the metaphysical world burn, this book explains Descartes’ ideas the way they were always meant to be understood: with sarcasm, side-eye, and a glass of wine. 
I think, therefore I spiral. Let’s go

Compost after Reading - A...

Cassandra Marketos

Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste. With wry and brilliant writing, Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how). This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And...it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.
