Sinossi

Dew and Mist explores the overlooked significance of atmospheric moisture, specifically dew and mist, in shaping ecosystems and influencing the global water cycle. It delves into how these phenomena, often regarded as minor meteorological events, play a crucial role in sustaining life, especially in water-scarce environments. Interestingly, dew and mist can contribute significantly to the water balance of certain ecosystems, sometimes providing more moisture than rainfall during dry periods, highlighting their importance for plant survival and overall biodiversity.

 
The book uniquely combines meteorological analysis with ecological studies, providing a comprehensive understanding of dew and mist formation, exploring the conditions conducive to their development, such as radiative cooling and condensation nuclei. It progresses from defining these phenomena and detailing their formation mechanisms to examining their ecological implications in diverse environments and their role in water resource management.

 
By presenting extensive data and analysis, the book emphasizes their importance, which is often underestimated in broader climate models, and connects these processes to fields such as ecology, agricultural science, and climatology.

Meroitic Kingdom - Forgotten...

Rolf Hedger

The Land of Kush, an ancient and powerful civilization, thrived along the banks of the Nile in what is now Sudan. Situated south of Egypt, Kush was a land of vast deserts, fertile floodplains, and rich natural resources. This region played a crucial role in shaping the history of northeastern Africa, serving as a bridge between central Africa and the Mediterranean world. The rise of the Kingdom of Kush was deeply influenced by its geography, trade networks, and interactions with neighboring civilizations.
The Nile River was the lifeline of Kush, providing water for agriculture, transportation, and trade. The river's annual flooding deposited nutrient-rich silt, allowing the Kushites to cultivate crops such as barley, wheat, and sorghum. This agricultural abundance supported growing populations and enabled the kingdom to expand its influence. The vast deserts surrounding Kush acted as natural barriers, protecting the civilization from invasions while also encouraging the development of trade routes that connected Kush to Egypt, the Red Sea, and beyond.
Kush's wealth was largely derived from its abundant natural resources, particularly gold, iron, and precious stones. Gold mines in Nubia were among the richest in the ancient world, making Kush a major supplier of gold to Egypt and other civilizations. Ironworking became another defining feature of Kushite industry, allowing the kingdom to produce advanced tools and weapons that strengthened its economy and military. The Kushites also controlled trade routes that transported luxury goods such as ivory, ebony, and incense, further enriching their civilization.

The Twisted History of the GOP

Mike Luckovich

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.

The Two-Headed Whale - Life Loss...

Sandy Winterbottom

An elegant blend of "polemic, industrial history, nautical writing, elegy, and ecology" (The Scotsman), The Two-Headed Whale charts the tragic history of the post-war whaling industry alongside the author's thrilling memoir of sailing the Antarctic. 
 
 
 
In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on an epic six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica. At the mid-way stop in South Georgia, her pristine image of the Antarctic was shattered when she discovered the dark legacy of twentieth century industrial-scale whaling. Enraged by what she found, she was quick to blame the men who undertook this whole scale slaughter, but then she stumbled upon the grave of an eighteen-year-old whaler from Edinburgh who she could not allow to bear the brunt of blame. There are two sides to every story. 
 
 
 
The Two-Headed Whale vividly brings to life the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the vast Southern Oceans, set alongside the true-life story of Anthony Ford, the boy in the grave, as he sailed the same seas and toiled in an industry where profits outranked human life. Drawing together threads of nature and travel writing with an unflinching narrative of life aboard a whaling factory ship and the legacy it left behind, The Two-Headed Whale leaves us questioning our troubled relationship with the extraordinary abundance of this planet.
