Synopsis

"Glaciers of China" addresses the critical issue of glacial decline in China, particularly on the Tibetan Plateau, and its impact on Asia's major river systems. This decline threatens water security, ecological stability, and socioeconomic well-being for millions who depend on glacial meltwater. One intriguing fact highlighted is the dependence of major rivers like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers on glacial melt, which faces unprecedented risk. The book emphasizes the urgent need to understand these changes and their potential consequences, particularly the increased risk of glacial lake outburst floods and shifts in biodiversity.

 
The book provides a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of glacial dynamics in China, drawing from scientific literature, original research, and international monitoring programs. It examines historical trends, utilizes satellite imagery, and employs climate modeling to project future scenarios. By presenting a clear and objective assessment, the book facilitates informed decision-making for policymakers and researchers alike.

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts in glaciology and hydrology to detailed analyses of glacial meltwater contributions to major rivers, offering a holistic view of this complex environmental challenge.

    From an artist and TikTok creator, a critical look at the controversial app and its effect on cultural heritage, artificial intelligence, community organizing, and digital censorship. In Revolutionary Algorithms, Torey Akers approaches TikTok with a deep understanding of the app, as both a prolific creator and consumer of its content. In these essays, she interrogates how the TikTok ban and the multiple genocides happening around the world are deeply intertwined; how the app can empower creators, amplify social movements, and document abuses of power. She addresses the good, bad, and sometimes uncanny parts of maneuvering and communicating in a digital space.  As a new era of social media looms, Akers makes the case for techno-progressivism, looking toward a future where TikTok continues to connect, inspire, and create space for more intersectionality, equity, and joy.

    The human brain is an impossibly complex and delicate instrument—capable of extraordinary calculations, abundant creativity, and linguistic dexterity. But the brain is not just the most brilliant of evolutionary wonders. It's also one of the most bizarre. 
     
     
     
    This book shows a whole other side of how brains work—from the patient who is afraid to take a shower because she fears her body will slip down the drain to a man who is convinced he is a cat and a woman who compulsively snacks on cigarette ashes. 
     
     
     
    As fascinating as they are, the cases discussed in this book are more than just oddities. In attempting to understand them, neuroscientists have uncovered important details about how the brain works. You'll be intrigued and amazed by some of the weird things your brain does on a daily basis, seemingly without your awareness or consent, and maybe you'll even gain an increased appreciation for the stability of the reality you experience. This book is ideal both for listeners seeking a better appreciation of the inner workings of the brain and those who simply want some extraordinary topics for dinner-party conversation.
