Sinopse

Limestone Formations in India explores the geological origins, ecological significance, and industrial applications of these formations across the Indian subcontinent. It highlights how ancient marine environments gave rise to vast limestone deposits, which through chemical weathering, created distinctive karst landscapes and cave systems. Understanding these formations is vital for sustainable resource management, environmental conservation, and responsible industrial development, particularly in cement production. The book details the unique ecosystems that thrive in limestone regions, often harboring endemic species adapted to these specialized habitats, making these areas biodiversity hotspots.

 
It also examines the economic importance of limestone as a primary raw material for cement and addresses the environmental impact of quarrying. The book progresses from an introduction to limestone geology and its global distribution to a focused examination of Indian formations, detailing their geological characteristics, cave systems, and biodiversity.

 
Finally, Limestone Formations in India analyzes the cement industry’s impact on these regions and explores sustainable extraction practices, culminating in a discussion of conservation strategies. This approach provides a comprehensive overview, making it valuable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersections of geology, ecology, and industrial development in India.

    As one of the world’s leading female professional rock and ice climbers, Majka Burhardt and her husband led globe-trotting, adventure-seeking lives. When she learns that she’s pregnant—with twins—Burhardt at first tries to justify her insistence on pursuing extreme risk in the face of responsibility. But she is ultimately forced to grieve the avalanche of emotions that accompanies any major life transitions along with the physical changes in her own body. 
    Based on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently kept over the course of those six years, More takes the reader on an around-the-world journey as Burhardt explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on career, identity, marriage, and self. 
    In the early weeks of her children's lives, Burhardt immerses herself in adoration for her twins and grappling with the tremendous guilt and struggle around having to return to risk-laden work and that ever elusive balance mothers everywhere seek amidst it all.  
    As the newness of her twins fades into a permanent reality, Burhardt turns her attention towards her marriage and the collateral damage as she and her husband, Peter, struggle to navigate their new normal. As anger and resentment threaten the foundation of her family, Burhardt courageously looks to her past—and her own mother's tumultuous and confusing history of success, violence, and ragged divorce—to better understand her own way forward. How will she break free from the legacy of her own childhood to start fresh with her own family?  
    Raw, candid, and galvanizing, More is a passionate and poignant testament to the enduring power of love and our lifelong journey to understand ourselves as we strive to always pursue more.
