Sinossi

Largest Deserts explores the fascinating world of arid landscapes, revealing that these environments, often misunderstood as barren, cover a significant portion of our planet and support unique life forms and human cultures. The book delves into the science behind desert formation, highlighting how geological forces and atmospheric patterns like Hadley cells create these arid regions. It also examines the incredible biodiversity of desert ecosystems, showcasing the adaptations of flora and fauna to conserve water and survive extreme temperatures. The book progresses from the science of desert formation to detailed studies of major deserts, like the Sahara and Atacama, across different continents. It investigates their geological history, climate, and biodiversity, before discussing human impact, desertification, and cultural heritage. Did you know that deserts are not static entities, but dynamic environments that play a vital role in the Earth's system? Also, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding these ecosystems for addressing climate change and preserving biodiversity. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the world's largest deserts, offering valuable insights for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Earth Sciences Geography and Nature. By integrating perspectives from climatology, geology, and environmental science, it presents a holistic understanding of these ecosystems and their place in the broader context of global environmental issues, including sustainable practices and environmental conservation.

    Discover 51 of the most common and not-so-common cat gods, goddesses, deities, and demons from around the world and how to incorporate their Divine Feline Energy into your daily life. Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. Archeologists have found cat remains buried with humans as far back as the tenth millennium BCE in Cyprus, and the Greek goddess Hecate is said to have regularly assumed the form of a cat. Hieroglyphics tell us that ancient Egyptians worshipped cat gods, and their queen Cleopatra had a kitty companion in her palace whom she called Tivali. A Chinese cat goddess called Li Shou is said to have protected farmers from mice, and Ai Apaec was a pre-Inca god with fangs and whiskers said to have descended from an even more ancient cat god. This book is more than a guide to ancient cat gods. It’s an exploration of the way humans have observed, interacted with, learned from, and revered another species who share the Earth with us. Ancient folklore is rife with examples of animal cunning and compassion, and many humans invoked other species as spiritual guides or flat out worshipped them as gods. Arguably, cats are the most intriguing of animals because of how we can relate to them. Much like us, they are free spirits and adaptable survivors. We admire them for their dignity, independence, and ferocity. In this guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so. Learn all about these sacred godlike creatures, including what they look like, what they symbolize, and how you can use their spirit and ancient wisdom to tap into your own Divine Feline Energy.

    Can you combine wanderlust and motherhood? 
    Margo Weinstein did. 
    For decades, Margo Weinstein escaped her demanding legal practice by kayaking, whitewater rafting, trekking, and climbing in remote regions. Then she had a son and found herself in the kiddie pool on a Disney cruise. Searching for a new path, a jalan-jalan, that could accommodate motherhood and satisfy her wanderlust, she dragged her young son to the other side of the world, moving first to Shanghai and then to Bali. 
    Adventure seekers and armchair travelers will relish listening to Weinstein’s exploits as she battles baboons in Zimbabwe and surfaces under a capsized raft in Pakistan. Parents will appreciate her efforts to explore the world with a kid in tow and her expat life in a villa where a python on the stairs, a scorpion in the outdoor shower, and Hindu offerings ceremonially placed next to the infinity pool and Wi-Fi router are daily realities.  
    Told with intelligence, humor, spirit, and Weinstein’s version of practicality, Jalan-Jalan will inspire you to find your path and take the trip of a lifetime.
