Summary

Deepest Lakes explores the geological forces shaping the world's deepest lakes and their crucial role in our planet's ecosystems. These lakes, formed by tectonic activity, glacial scouring, and volcanic events, harbor unique biodiversity and influence regional and global climate regulation. For example, some of the deepest lakes date back millions of years, showcasing the Earth's dynamic processes. The book investigates how these aquatic environments function, beginning with defining "depth" and classifying the world's deepest lakes. Case studies, including Lake Baikal and the Great Lakes, examine each lake's formation, biodiversity, and threats to its ecosystem. It highlights the interconnection between these deep-water systems and emphasizes the importance of conservation efforts. This insightful work presents an integrated approach to understanding these geological marvels. It connects Earth science, environmental studies, and geography, offering a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the natural world. The book progresses from geological formation to ecological significance and concludes with strategies for conservation and sustainable management.

    In vitro fertilization (IVF)—the conceiving of new human beings in a laboratory—has become a widespread and international industry affecting millions upon millions of people. By some estimates, over eight million children in the US have been born as a result of this technology since 1978. But is it ethical to create human beings by science and not by sex? Is IVF inherently good or inherently evil? Or, perhaps, is it something that is sometimes right and other times wrong, depending on the circumstances? In this timely volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Looking at the morality of IVF and the stories of people who have either embraced or refused it, On IVF will draw readers into the profound suffering of infertility and miscarriage, the difficulties and dangers of IVF, and the hope-filled alternatives that honor the dignity of human beings—both born and preborn.

    In an increasingly volatile world, exemplified by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, organisations are looking at business continuity with a fresh perspective. While most organisations believe they are prepared for disruption, COVID-19 has proved otherwise. The need for business continuity has never been clearer.
    If you were hit by a cyber attack and lost the use of your IT systems, would you be able to carry on? If your business premises were forced to close, what would you do? If you were affected by unexpected staff absence, how could you reassure your customers that you can still offer them the service they expect?
    Being unprepared can lead to financial and reputational damage, which could prove disastrous. You could fail to keep up with customer demand or lose important business, or your customers could go elsewhere. Without a proper risk assessment strategy, your company directors could even face prosecution if a major incident occurs and results in loss or injury.
    An introduction to ISO 22301
    To minimise the impact of a disaster on your business, and to continue to provide essential services to your customers, you need to put in place a BCMS (business continuity management system). This pocket guide will help you understand the basics of business continuity and ISO 22301:2019, the international standard that describes the specification for a BCMS.
    It covers:
    
    - What business continuity is;
    - Key terms and definitions;
    - A brief history of business continuity management;
    - The BCMS;
    - ISO 22301 BCMS requirements; and
    - Certification
    ISO 22301:2019 - An introduction to a business continuity management system (BCMS) provides an easy-to-read and straightforward introduction to a BCMS that business continuity managers, compliance managers, C-suites and disaster recovery planners – or any organisation implementing, or considering implementing, an ISO 22301 BCMS – will find valuable.
