Sinopsis

Longest Glaciers explores the crucial role of the world's largest glaciers in our planet's climate system, focusing on their dynamics, impact, and the alarming rate at which they are melting. It emphasizes how these icy giants are not just frozen relics but active agents in shaping global sea levels and ecosystems. The book investigates the intricate relationship between glacial melt and anthropogenic climate change, providing a tangible understanding of the consequences. The book uniquely examines glaciers across continents, with notable attention to Greenland, Antarctica, and the Himalayas. It presents scientific methods, from satellite imagery to on-site measurements, used to study these glaciers. Did you know that glacial melt significantly contributes to sea-level rise, threatening coastal communities? Or that these glaciers serve as stark indicators of human-induced warming? Longest Glaciers progresses logically. It begins with the formation and types of glaciers, moving to the mechanics of glacial movement, and culminating in an analysis of accelerated melting, its environmental consequences, and potential mitigation strategies. The book aims to present complex scientific information in an accessible manner.

  • Ring of Downs - The North Downs' Eastern Ring - cover

    Ring of Downs - The North Downs'...

    ‘Ring of Downs’ is a feast of lyrically evocative writings and atmospheric images inspired by a landscape-loving woman’s walks with her beloved dog through an extraordinary part of Kent’s North Downs. 
    The places celebrated, from which these writings have drawn their inspiration, are on the North Downs Way path which forms an imperfect circle made up of two arcs. One meanders southeast through the Folkestone Downs along the coast to the White Cliffs of Dover. The other runs northeast through Canterbury. Yet this outer map corresponds to an inner one, a ‘mandala’, the perfect imaginative symbol of wholeness: as if tracks walked make patterns in our minds, words of wonder triggered by nature forging relationship between us and the land. 
    This black and white edition of ‘Ring of Downs’ is the author’s sequel to ‘A Dog on the Downs’, to be followed by ‘Flights of Nature’ and ‘Light of Land’.

    Time is up. The climate crisis is no longer a future to be feared, but a devastating reality. We see it in the wildfires in California and floods across Britain—the "once in a generation" extreme weather events that now happen every year. 
     
     
     
    In a world where those in charge are constantly letting us down, real change in our lifetime means taking power into our own hands. The task ahead of us is daunting, but the emergence of a new wave of movements focused on climate justice, equality, and solidarity also brings hope. 
     
     
     
    Asking how we have arrived at this moment, Chris Saltmarsh argues that the profoundly political nature of the environmental crisis has been relentlessly downplayed. After all, how can solar panels save us while capitalism places profit over the future of the planet? Analyzing the failures of NGOs, the limitations of Extinction Rebellion and Youth Strikes, the role of trade unions, and the possibilities of a Green New Deal, Burnt issues a powerful call for a radical collective movement: saving the world is not enough; we must build a better one in the process.
