Synopsis

Desert Formation offers a deep dive into the natural processes behind the Earth's arid landscapes. It explores how climate, geology, and biology interact to create desert ecosystems, making it crucial for understanding these unique environments. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as how atmospheric circulation patterns like Hadley cells contribute to aridity and how tectonic activity shapes desert landforms. This study emphasizes that desert formation is not a simple phenomenon but rather a complex interplay of factors.

 
The book begins by classifying different types of deserts (hot, cold, coastal, and rain shadow) and then delves into the physical processes involved, such as atmospheric circulation and geological structures. It further explores the remarkable adaptations of desert flora and fauna, like water conservation strategies. By integrating climate science with ecological and geological analyses, Desert Formation presents a holistic view of these environments.

 
The book's approach is fact-based and informative, using clear language suitable for a broad audience interested in Earth Sciences Geography and Environment. It progresses systematically, starting with fundamental concepts and moving towards detailed analyses of specific regions and adaptations. This comprehensive exploration makes it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone keen to understand the forces driving desertification and climate change.

Blight - Fungi and the Coming...

Emily Monosson

Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. In Blight, Emily Monosson documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Populations of bats, frogs, and salamanders face extinction. In the Northwest, America's beloved national parks are covered with the spindly corpses of whitebark pines. Food crops are under siege, threatening our coffee, bananas, and wheat—and, more broadly, our global food security. Candida auris, drug-resistant and resilient, infects hospital patients and those with weakened immune systems. Coccidioides, which lives in drier dusty regions, may cause infection in apparently healthy people. 
 
 
 
Yet prevention is not impossible. Tracing the history of fungal spread and the most recent discoveries in the field, Monosson meets scientists who are working tirelessly to protect species under threat, and whose innovative approaches to fungal invasion have the potential to save human lives. Blight serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe.

Identity Theft: Rediscovering...

PhD Debra E. Meyerson, Steve...

Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.
