Sinossi

Ice Sheet Collapse addresses the critical issue of ice sheet stability and its profound impact on global sea levels, focusing particularly on the vulnerability of Antarctic ice to climate change. The book highlights how current climate models may underestimate the speed at which ice sheets are disintegrating, leading to potentially catastrophic sea-level rise. One intriguing fact is that ice sheet melt is not a gradual process. Instead, there can be abrupt shifts, with wide-ranging effects on coastal communities and global economies. The book emphasizes the complex interplay of factors, such as ocean warming and ice shelf thinning, contributing to this underestimation.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the fundamental principles of glaciology and climate science, before diving into the mechanics of ice sheet stability, the drivers of collapse, and potential consequences. Using data from satellite observations, field measurements, and climate model simulations, the book provides a holistic view of the ice sheet system. It also considers the significant role of ocean warming as a primary driver of ice shelf thinning and subsequent ice sheet instability. This comprehensive approach makes the book a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone seeking a better understanding of ice sheet dynamics, climate change, and environmental policy.

    From midwifing new lambs to harvesting basil, Jessica Gigot invites the reader into her life on a small farm and the uncommon road that led her there. Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land.   
    In A Little Bit of Land, Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.
