Sinossi

Desert Lifestyle presents a compelling exploration of human adaptation and survival in Earth's arid regions, which comprise nearly one-third of the planet's land surface. Drawing from extensive research across the Sahara, Atacama, and Australian deserts, this comprehensive guide bridges ancient wisdom with modern innovation to demonstrate how humans can not only survive but thrive in desert environments.

 
The book masterfully weaves together three essential themes: understanding desert ecosystems, developing effective human adaptation strategies, and implementing sustainable resource management. Through firsthand insights gained from Bedouin communities and desert research stations, readers discover practical applications of both traditional knowledge and contemporary technology. Fascinating examples include the ancient qanat water systems and modern atmospheric water harvesting techniques, illustrating how historical practices inform present-day solutions.

 
Progressing from fundamental water management to advanced desert agriculture, the text offers a methodical approach to desert living that combines environmental science with anthropological wisdom. What sets this book apart is its balanced integration of indigenous knowledge with scientific research, making it valuable for both practical application and academic study.

 
Whether exploring heat adaptation through architectural solutions or examining food security through desert agriculture, each chapter provides actionable insights while maintaining scholarly rigor, making complex concepts accessible to general readers while serving as a comprehensive resource for environmental scientists and sustainability practitioners.

    In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In Patrons of Paleontology, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed. These early decades of government support shaped the way the discipline grew, creating practices and enabling discoveries that continue to affect paleontology today.

    The Bleep Test - How New Doctors...

    What does it mean to help save someone's life? How does it feel to nearly kill a patient? Can we keep our patients safe at night? In the face of overwhelming pressures, can we thrive or only survive? And is a happy life as a doctor still possible? 
     
     
     
    In the early months and years of work, it is these kinds of questions, rather than any technical or knowledge-based queries, which preoccupy many new doctors. This elusive, hidden curriculum is pervasive within departments, around hospitals, and across health systems, but is rarely, if ever, explicitly examined and discussed. At its core is the issue that should matter above all others—how we can keep our patients as safe as possible. 
     
     
     
    The Bleep Test combines gripping and startlingly vulnerable recollections of early experiences on the wards with an array of research findings, from psychology and human biology to anthropology, business, and behavioral economics. Acknowledging that the truly complex challenges facing new doctors lie far beyond the realms of the traditional medical sciences in which they were trained, the book explains that the shift to being a doctor depends on first understanding how we think, reason, and behave as someone we have been all our lives—a human amongst humans.
