Sinossi

Highest Dams explores the complex relationship between technological advancement and environmental stewardship through the lens of the world's tallest dams. These immense structures serve multiple purposes, including hydroelectric power generation, crucial for energy production, and water resource management. The book argues that understanding the delicate balance between these benefits and the potential environmental impacts, such as altering ecosystems, is vital for future infrastructure projects. It highlights how dams can reshape landscapes and power nations, examining both the engineering marvels and the societal implications.

 
The book meticulously traces the evolution of dam construction, from early 20th-century techniques to modern design and materials. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book utilizes engineering reports, environmental impact assessments, and social surveys to provide a holistic view. The book analyzes how dams regulate river flows, provide water for irrigation, and mitigate floods while also acknowledging the displacement of communities and potential habitat loss.

 
The book begins with foundational principles of dam engineering and hydrology before progressing to major themes like energy production and water resource management. Highest Dams takes a balanced approach, acknowledging both the benefits and costs associated with these projects, encouraging critical evaluation of evidence surrounding the construction of large dams.

Navigating Life with Dementia

MD James M. Noble

Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is hard but with this book, you and your family will successfully face the challenges that these diseases present. 
 
Dementia is a very common neurological disease of aging affecting millions of people in complex ways. There are multiple forms of the dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and vascular dementia, among others, and many share features of slowly progressive and profound changes affecting memory, thinking, behavior, and personality. The disease often introduces personal and even financial strains, which can be at times hard to understand. Unfortunately, most forms of dementia have no definitive treatments to prevent, slow, or stop the progression, but there is a concerted effort in the scientific community to change this. There is a consistent hope that there will soon be a new era of scientific breakthroughs impacting dementia. Now, and in the future, patients with dementia, their friends, and their families need resources to successfully face the challenges introduced by the disease.Navigating Life with Dementia thoroughly covers the complexities of the dementias, the establishment of a diagnosis, what to expect throughout the stages of disease, and how to best anticipate and manage common problems.

Slippery Beast - A True Crime...

Ellen Ruppel Shell

What is it about eels? Depending on who you ask, they are a pest, a fascination, a threat, a pot of gold. Eels emerged some 200 million years ago, weathered mass extinctions and continental shifts, and were once among the world's most abundant freshwater fish. But since the 1970s, their numbers have plummeted. Because eels—as unagi—are another thing: delicious. 
 
 
 
In Slippery Beast, journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell travels in the world of "eel people," pursuing a fascination with this mysterious creature. Despite centuries of study by thinkers from Aristotle to Leeuwenhoek to Sigmund Freud, much about eels remains unknown. Eels cannot be bred reliably in captivity and infant eels are unbelievably valuable. A pound of the tiny, translucent, bug-eyed "elvers" caught in the fresh waters of Maine can command $3,000 or more on the black market. Illegal trade in eels is an international scandal measured in billions of dollars every year. In Maine, federal investigators have risked their lives to bust poaching rings. 
 
 
 
Ruppel Shell follows the elusive eel from Maine to the Sargasso Sea, stalking riversides, fishing holes, laboratories, restaurants, courtrooms, and America's first commercial eel "family farm." This is an enthralling, globe-spanning look at an animal that you may never come to love, but which will never fail to astonish you.
