Synopsis

Hot Springs of America explores the natural wonders of geothermal hot springs scattered across the United States, blending travel, earth sciences, and geography to uncover the geological origins and ecological importance of these thermal areas. The book delves into the science behind their formation, explaining how geological processes such as plate tectonics and volcanism contribute to the creation of these unique environments. Readers discover how groundwater descends deep into the earth, is heated by geothermal energy, and resurfaces enriched with minerals, sometimes exhibiting purported healing properties.

 
The book also examines the diverse chemical compositions of the thermal waters, including mineral springs, and the potential health effects associated with them. It highlights how these springs have been used historically by indigenous populations and early settlers for medicinal and spiritual purposes.

 
Ultimately, Hot Springs of America emphasizes the need for sustainable tourism and conservation efforts to protect these fragile ecosystems, advocating for responsible stewardship that balances human access with environmental preservation. The book progresses from geological processes to chemical properties and finally, ecological and recreational considerations.

Lucky: A True Story

David A. Green, Judy D'Mello

Slumdog Millionaire meets Forrest Gump 
In 2018, under a full moon in the remote Mantiqueira mountain range in Brazil, a sickly stray dog chose to follow a runner during the Brazil 135 ultramarathon. He stayed by his side for 140 miles. 
Fast forward to 2021, when Lucky the stray, now living the life in Florida, set off with his ultrarunner soulmate, David Green, on the journey of their lives — a four-month run covering 3,400 miles from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to Muir Beach, California. Their route took them through a nation ravaged by Covid-19 and still reeling from the most toxic presidential election in history. An RV became their nightly retreat-on-wheels, captained by Chris, an affable chef from Brooklyn, who would provide so much more than food. 
This is David’s honest account, his love letter to Lucky, after three short years together, during which time they inspired each other to break barriers of what is thought possible for dogs and humans -- physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Topophilia Effect The - How...

Roberta Rio

What effect do the places where we live or work have on us? Historian Roberta Rio, who researches the history of buildings, apartments and properties for her clients, regularly comes across astonishing and recurrent patterns.

In this book she reveals what the Etruscans, the Romans and Cathedral architects all knew about the effects of places, what we ourselves should know and how we can find it out.

Rio offers us a refreshingly down-to-earth summary of the findings of her research, and makes it practicable for our own personal use.

How do we know if a place is good or bad for us? Which place is good to rest and which to work in? Why are there places where relationships flourish and others where they are more likely to break up?
