Summary

Loudest Waterfalls explores the profound impact of the Earth's most thunderous waterfalls, linking their acoustic properties to geological processes and ecological health. This exploration into earth sciences, geography, and nature reveals how the sheer sound intensity of these natural wonders acts as a key indicator of their geomorphological influence and ecological significance. For instance, the book highlights how sound levels can be directly related to rates of erosion and nutrient distribution, offering a unique, quantifiable approach to understanding waterfall dynamics. The book examines waterfall formation through various geological activities, like tectonic shifts and glacial movements, and assesses human interaction with these natural features. It uniquely integrates acoustic measurements with geological and ecological data to provide a comprehensive view of these complex systems.

 
Progressing from the basics of waterfall acoustics and formation, the book investigates specific waterfalls, detailing their ecological impact and geological context. Later chapters delve into the specifics of erosion, sediment transport, and habitat creation, concluding with a look at conservation and ecotourism possibilities.

    Henry Vizetelly, writing under the pseudonym J. Tyrwhitt Brooks, recalls an expedition to California he took between 1847-1848 . Originally, he planned to enlist as a surgeon for the US Army during the Mexican war, but conflicts had ended by the time he applied. In a quick change of plans, he joined a group of prospectors on their way to the newly found gold fields of California. While he might not find service in the military, his training as a physician made him a valuable addition to the ragtag team of explorers.His training as a physician gives us an exacting perspective of the events and people who struck out from more sedate routines to prospect gold in the Californian wilderness. However, he is unprepared to find a cure for the gold fever that has depopulated the surrounding towns. Only one member of the group, an experienced fur-trapper, is able to resist the lustrous lure of nuggets, flakes and gold richly deposited in the dusty desert.Like the others who have left jobs to prospect for gold, he learns how to live on the land and struggle through hardship away from the security of city life. His motley group of changing characters ride through sudden fortunes and disasters while meeting Mormons, Indians and not least of all a bountiful harvest of gold. Before he returns to his home in England, another quick change of fortune undoes his plans for a comfortable retirement and shows us the extent of greed that has sprung up in the mining camps.

    The moving story of the author’s adopted Rottweiler mix, Lou, a free-thinking heroic dog who changed his life forever.“Lou’s story is an emotional and deeply delt tribute to the powerful bond between dogs and humans. Last Dog on the Hill will make you long for that one special superdog that can truly change your life. We should all be so lucky to have a dog like Lou in our world.” —Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the RainBorn of guard dogs on a secret marijuana farm in Mendicino County, California, Lou truly was one dog in a million. On the winter day that the ailing, tick-infested feral pup was rescued by Steve Duno, neither dog nor man had a clue as to what they were getting into . . .Last Dog on the Hill tells the story of an indigent young Rottweiler mix who went on to change the lives of hundreds of dogs and people, including the author's, whose career as a pet behaviorist was made possible through Lou's extraordinary intelligence and heart. Lou won the respect of gang members, foiled an armed robbery, caught a rapist, fought coyotes and kidnappers, comforted elderly war veterans and Alzheimer patients in their final days, taught ASL to kids, learned scores of unique behaviors and tricks, amassed a vocabulary of nearly 200 words, and helped rehabilitate hundreds of aggressive dogs, saving them from euthanasia. Lou was also a clown, a consummate performer, and Steve’s best friend for sixteen years. His inspiring story will resonate with anyone who has ever loved a dog.“Last Dog on the Hill is a wonderful mixture of humor, heartbreak, and high jinks. I couldn’t put it down. Lou will steal your heart.” —Janet Evanovich, New York Times–bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series
