Sinossi

'Hidden Rivers' offers a fascinating exploration of Earth's subterranean waterways, revealing how these concealed channels shape our planet's geology, ecology, and human development. From sprawling urban aquifers to ancient desert paleochannels, the book uncovers the crucial role these underground systems play in our global water cycle and modern civilization.

 
Through a blend of scientific research and engaging narrative, readers discover how these hidden waterways, some extending hundreds of kilometers, continue to influence everything from city infrastructure to regional climate patterns. The book skillfully progresses from fundamental concepts of groundwater movement and karst formation to in-depth case studies of major underground river systems worldwide.

 
Using advanced research methods like ground-penetrating radar and isotope tracking, it presents compelling evidence of how these hidden waters shape our world. Particularly intriguing are the revelations about ancient rivers beneath the Sahara Desert and the complex network of waterways flowing beneath major cities like Paris, London, and New York, where they constantly interact with modern infrastructure.

 
This comprehensive work bridges the gap between technical hydrogeology and practical application, making it invaluable for both professionals and curious readers. The author's approach balances academic rigor with accessibility, weaving historical discoveries with current scientific findings to demonstrate how understanding these hidden rivers is crucial for addressing contemporary challenges in water security, urban development, and environmental conservation.

 
Through carefully structured chapters, readers gain a thorough understanding of these vital but often overlooked natural systems and their significance for our planet's future.

    When people think about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), they tend to think of flying discs piloted by gray beings with large heads and enormous eyes. They tend to think that these sightings only started relatively recently and that belief in UFOs is some sort of modern religion brought on, perhaps, by the very justifiable fears of a nuclear age. But a study of the phenomenon quickly reveals that people have been seeing UFOs since the beginning of recorded history and perhaps a lot longer than that. 
    	Naturally, as technological advances and the creation of flying aircraft became realities, the sighting of UFOs increased, as did the interest in potential contact with aliens.  Some of the American investigations of UFOs from the 1940s and 1950s were documented, but nothing exemplifies the debate between those who believe that extraterrestrials visit the Earth and skeptics than the top secret papers that emerged in the 1980s and seemed to prove the existence of a shadowy secret organization known as MJ-12 or Majestic 12. To believers, these papers proved beyond a doubt not only that UFOs were real and of extraterrestrial origin, but also that the federal government had been aware of this since the 1940s and had even managed to recover one or more crashed alien spacecrafts. To skeptics, this notion simply proved how gullible UFO believers were. There was no middle ground - people either believed in the MJ-12 papers completely or laughed at them. 
    	Decades later, it’s finally possible to take a more balanced view of the history of the MJ-12 papers, including where these documents originated from and who created them. It now seems virtually certain that there never was an organization called Majestic 12 and that the papers describing it were faked, but what makes the story truly fascinating is that it now also appears likely that these papers were faked by people actually working within the Air Force or another government agency.

    From the author of the bestselling 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die.
    Island whiskies have long held a fascination and a powerful emotional draw on whisky drinkers the world over. Their special combination of heritage, mystique and remote location captures the imagination; their highly distinctive flavours are often imitated but seldom bettered.
    Join Ian Buxton on a personal journey across Scotland's islands, where he learns to fish with high explosives, ends up hurling his dinner into the sea and comes face to face with a basking shark. Combining an expert's knowledge of whisky with a travel writer's fondness for anecdote, and with a keen description of place, he provides a special treat for all who love the islands' magical drams.
    This new edition brings the acclaimed book up to date, capturing changes on the island whisky scene, including new and proposed distilleries such as Benbecula; Ardnahoe, Gartbreck Farm, Ili, Laggan Bay, Port Ellen and Portintruan (Islay); Orkney; Lerwick and Shetland Reel (Shetland); Isle of Tiree and others, along with Ian's typically acerbic comments on whisky investment, luxury marketing and private cask sales.
