Dune Formation

Sinopse

Dune Formation explores the fascinating world of how wind shapes sand dunes in both deserts and coastal regions. This book delves into the physics of aeolian transport, examining how wind moves sediment, and investigates the environmental factors influencing dune arrangement, or morphology. These factors are critical for geomorphologists and environmental scientists aiming to understand landscape evolution.

 
The book argues that dune morphology directly results from the interplay between wind patterns, sediment supply, and surface conditions. It begins with aeolian transport principles, explaining how wind speed and grain size affect sand movement. From there, it examines different dune types, such as crescentic barchans and linear seifs, detailing the conditions that dictate their appearance and development.

 
The book emphasizes the role of vegetation, moisture, and topography in modifying wind flow and sediment deposition. This unique approach makes Dune Formation a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in geography, geology, and environmental science. By integrating field observations, experiments, and computational models, the book provides a detailed understanding of the complex processes shaping our planet's surface, offering insights into past climates recorded in paleodunes and helping to address current environmental challenges like desertification and coastal erosion.

Why Trust Science?

Naomi Oreskes, Marc Lange,...

This provocative audiobook reveals why the social character of scientific knowledge makes it trustworthy

Featuring narration by Kelly Burke, John Chancer, Nancy Crane, Richard Lyddon, and Kerry Shale

Do doctors really know what they are talking about when they tell us vaccines are safe? Should we take climate experts at their word when they warn us about the perils of global warming? Why should we trust science when our own politicians don't? In this landmark book, Naomi Oreskes offers a bold and compelling defense of science, revealing why the social character of scientific knowledge is its greatest strength—and the greatest reason we can trust it.

Tracing the history and philosophy of science from the late nineteenth century to today, Oreskes explains that, contrary to popular belief, there is no single scientific method. Rather, the trustworthiness of scientific claims derives from the social process by which they are rigorously vetted. This process is not perfect—nothing ever is when humans are involved—but she draws vital lessons from cases where scientists got it wrong. Oreskes shows how consensus is a crucial indicator of when a scientific matter has been settled, and when the knowledge produced is likely to be trustworthy.

Based on the Tanner Lectures on Human Values at Princeton University, this timely and provocative book features critical responses by climate experts Ottmar Edenhofer and Martin Kowarsch, political scientist Jon Krosnick, philosopher of science Marc Lange, and science historian Susan Lindee, as well as a foreword by political theorist Stephen Macedo.

The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

Geoff Dembicki

Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
 
 
 
In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
 
 
 
With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
