How Ice Forms

Yves Earhart

Translator A AI

Summary

How Ice Forms explores the fascinating science behind something we often take for granted: ice. It reveals how the molecular processes of ice formation are crucial for understanding global weather patterns, climate change, and the health of our planet's ecosystems. The book emphasizes that current climate models, which often oversimplify these processes, may lead to inaccurate predictions about sea-level rise and extreme weather events. 

 
The book uniquely presents a comprehensive view of how ice impacts our world. It begins with the basics of water's molecular structure and gradually builds to cover complex topics like the role of aerosols in atmospheric ice nucleation, the impact of ice on ocean circulation, and the stability of permafrost regions. For instance, the book highlights that ice influences global albedo, affecting how much sunlight Earth reflects and, consequently, its temperature. It connects earth sciences with atmospheric science and oceanography. 

 
How Ice Forms adopts an accessible approach, making complex scientific concepts understandable through real-world examples. It progresses logically through the material, using laboratory experiments, satellite observations, and climate model simulations to support its arguments. The book concludes with discussions on the practical implications of ice formation for climate modeling and geoengineering, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in environmental science.

Constructing Canine Consent -...

Erin Jones

The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviors, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviors and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behavior in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs.

The Fifth History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything.
The Fifth History of Man has a few parting shots at viruses but mostly continues with the world of parasites, from tick disease that tick us off, Old Lyme, Connecticut and Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, Crazy Cat Lady and her clowder of cats, then on into a discussion of the avatar of parasites: malaria. Our travels will venture down into the valley: Valley Girls, Valspeak, Valley Fever, fungus and fungal infections. We’ll jump into the biology of evolution, Darwin, Huxley and the great debates, the geology of earthquakes, volcanos, the Ring of Fire, and Johnny Cash, and then through the homos: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and once the dust cleared how the opposable thumbs, walking erect, and bigger brains left one man standing, one woman, too. No discussion of human history can leave out the G.O.A.T. of French history, heck, of European history; the man, the legend, Napoleon Bonaparte, loved and admired by everyone, even his enemies. Our path will take us into war & military, World War I versus the 1918 Swine Flu, some Russian history and how Stalin got Lenin wrong.
