Jade Formation

Summary

"Jade Formation" explores the captivating story of jade, a gemstone revered across cultures for its beauty and profound cultural significance. The book uniquely bridges Earth science and art history, revealing how specific metamorphic geology, particularly high-pressure conditions in subduction zones, gives rise to both jadeite and nephrite, the two minerals we recognize as jade. Intriguingly, the book highlights how jade’s toughness, a product of its mineral structure, made it ideal for carving, contributing to its use in tools and ceremonial objects.

 
The book progresses across three distinct sections, each focusing on geological origins, cultural importance, and modern markets. It examines jade's use in ancient Mesoamerica and China, where it symbolized power and status, and delves into modern mining practices, authentication challenges, and artistic interpretations. The interdisciplinary approach incorporates geological surveys, archaeological findings, and art historical analyses to provide a comprehensive understanding of jade's enduring appeal.

Multisolving - Creating Systems...

Elizabeth Sawin

For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.That experience, along with the guidance of leaders in systems thinking and racial justice, convinced her that the world's thorniest problems may be easier to tackle together than one by one. That's multisolving: using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems at the same time. Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them.This unique resource is for local school boards that need revenue for their students but don't want to overtax low-income seniors. It is for nonprofits working to reduce food waste and combat the root causes of hunger while increasing racial justice. It is for seaside communities that can protect themselves from flooding while also improving biodiversity with a living coastline. It may also be for you: doing the work you know is imperative but that is sometimes overwhelming, a tiny drop in a swirling ocean.
