Sinossi

Estuary Formation explores the complex processes that shape estuaries, vital ecosystems where rivers meet the sea. It highlights the interplay of geological, hydrological, and biological factors, offering a comprehensive understanding of these dynamic environments. The book emphasizes the crucial role of fluvial processes, tidal influences, and sediment dynamics in determining an estuary's physical structure and ecological characteristics.

 
Did you know that tectonic activity and sea-level changes play a significant role in creating the initial topography for estuary development? Or that the book draws on diverse data, including geological surveys and ecological studies, to illustrate the variability and commonalities in estuary formation processes?

 
The book uniquely integrates geological, hydrological, and ecological perspectives to provide a holistic view of estuary formation. It begins by introducing fundamental concepts and then progresses through geological processes, fluvial processes, and tidal dynamics, culminating in a discussion of human impacts and sustainable management. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of the critical processes shaping these environments, making it valuable for students, researchers, and coastal managers.

 
Understanding these formative processes is vital for effective coastal management and predicting how estuaries will respond to climate change and human impacts.

Ancient Magic Magnetism and...

L.H. Anderson

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Originally published in 1895, Ancient Magic, Magnetism and Psychic Forces: The Key to Power presents occult philosophy, mesmerism, hypnotism, personal magnetism, and mental influence as interconnected expressions of hidden human potential. L. H. Anderson explores the power of thought, will, suggestion, concentration, and directed mental force, encouraging readers to cultivate self-mastery, strengthen personal influence, awaken psychic abilities, and consciously shape their circumstances. Blending esoteric tradition with the era’s fascination with mental science and magnetic healing, the book portrays psychic and magnetic forces as practical capacities that can be developed through disciplined thought and purposeful action, making it both a guide to personal power and a revealing document of nineteenth-century occult culture.

Eight Bears - Mythic Past and...

Gloria Dickie

A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
 
 
 
Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
 
 
 
In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.

The Waste Between Our Ears - The...

Gerry Gillespie

The time for effective change is shrinking.
In this book, writer, researcher and advocate Gerry Gillespie outlines how we can create a global solution, and it starts between our ears. In order to restore our world ecosystems and our vital soils, he wants to change how we think about our trash. Readers will learn why we all need to change our mind about waste management systems, how to reconnect our organic waste to local soil and food growers, and why this leads to more local jobs.
With chapters about source separation, soil management and climate change, and practical approaches to zero waste, Gillespie presents a practical, logical argument for one way to save the world and grow a local economy. In economic and environmental terms, clearly explains how, if waste were collected as source-separated products, more than half of it could be returned to soils as quality compost and biological products. A very large percentage of the remainder can be put back through recycling, re-manufacturing and reusing. And it’s not just theoretical. Gillespie details how this reduction of waste is already being achieved in parts of the world and how we could do it globally … if we could only think differently.
Advocates, nonprofit directors, waste managers, landfill directors, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, eco-farmers and anyone searching for environmental solutions and opportunities with source separation should not only read this book … we must figure out how to change our thinking, and put Gillespie’s plan into action.

A Pocket Guide to Pigeon...

Rosemary Mosco

Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
 
 
 
Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
 
 
 
Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.
