Synopsis

Lakes Dried explores the compelling stories of lakes that have vanished due to environmental change, examining the causes and impacts on civilizations. The book blends Earth Sciences, Geography, and History to understand these transformations.

 
Intriguing facts include how climate variability, like prolonged droughts, and human activities, such as unsustainable irrigation, have contributed to lake desiccation.

 
The book uniquely combines environmental analysis with historical research, shedding light on the human element in large-scale environmental shifts.

 
The book's approach involves detailed case studies of lakes such as the Aral Sea and Lake Chad, analyzing environmental changes, human impact, and societal consequences.

 
It builds upon research in paleoclimatology, hydrology, and environmental history, integrating data from sediment cores, historical accounts, and modern measurements.

 
The book progresses from introducing fundamental concepts of lake hydrology and climate dynamics to presenting the case studies and synthesizing the findings for contemporary water management strategies.

 
Ultimately, the book offers lessons for policymakers and water resource managers working to address water scarcity, emphasizing sustainable water management.

    From bestselling author, long-time former National Geographic Explorer, and anthropologist Wade Davis comes the story of America's Nile: how it once flowed freely and how human intervention has left it near exhaustion, altering the water temperature, volume, local species, and shoreline of the river Theodore Roosevelt once urged us to "leave it as it is." 
     
     
     
    Plugged by no fewer than twenty-five dams, the Colorado is the world's most regulated river drainage, providing most of the water supply of Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and much of the power and water of Los Angeles and Phoenix, cities that are home to more than 25 million people. For the entire American Southwest, the Colorado is indeed the river of life, which makes it all the more tragic and ironic that by the time it approaches its final destination, it has been reduced to a shadow upon the sand, its delta dry and deserted, its flow a toxic trickle seeping into the sea. 
     
     
     
    Yet despite more than a century of human interference, Davis writes, the splendor of the Colorado lives on in the river's remaining wild rapids, quiet pools, and sweeping canyons. The story of the Colorado River is the human quest for progress and its inevitable effects—and an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of America's most iconic waterway.

    You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In his important new audiobook, Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms behind before it’s too late. 
    Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the “benefits” of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? 
    Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us towards richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world.
