Beschreibung

Mountain Wonders explores Earth’s towering landscapes as dynamic systems shaping our planet’s ecology, geology, and human civilizations. The book reveals how mountains act as both ancient geological archives and vital regulators of global climate, water cycles, and biodiversity. Central themes include the tectonic forces that built ranges like the Himalayas, the delicate high-altitude ecosystems hosting species like Ethiopia’s gelada monkey, and the urgent conservation challenges posed by climate change and human activity. By framing mountains as “water towers” for billions and cultural keystones for communities, the text underscores their irreplaceable role in planetary health.

 
Blending earth science with ecology and cultural history, the book deciphers complex concepts through vivid examples—like tracing a raindrop from Patagonian glaciers to oceans or explaining how Inca terraces optimized mountain farming. Chapters progress from geological foundations, such as plate collisions and glaciation, to ecological narratives exploring microclimates and endemic species. Later sections tackle human impacts, highlighting sustainable models like Bhutan’s balance of tourism and ecological stewardship. Unique in its interdisciplinary approach, Mountain Wonders weaves satellite data, indigenous knowledge, and policy debates into a cohesive story, offering readers both scientific depth and actionable insights for preserving these fragile ecosystems.

 
Accessible yet rigorous, the book bridges storytelling and analysis, making it equally engaging for casual readers and experts. It positions mountains not as remote giants but as interconnected lifelines, urging us to rethink their protection as a cornerstone of humanity’s future.

    A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
     
     
     
    Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
     
     
     
    In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.

    A memoir of equine connection. 
    If you're not "boss mare" material, can you still work with horses? This was the question Maeve faced each time she interacted with a horse. If it wasn't in her nature to dominate this animal, could she be around them and still stay true to herself? The equestrian world shouted in unison, "Get after him! Tell him who's boss!" Yet Maeve couldn't. When she did, it grated against her soul. Could she successfully navigate a life with equines if her leadership looked different? 
    In this moving memoir, Maeve Birch explores the dynamics between traditional horse handling and her communications with horses, which often didn’t align with what she was taught. In the stories shared, human issues such as codependency, lack of boundaries, impatience, violence, and fear crop up again and again, shaping horse and human relationships. Standing in a Field With Horses provides a window into the mind, spirituality, and social undercurrents of a woman trapped between obedience and self-expression along with the horses. Will she be able to stand in the current or will she be pulled under? 
    As horse care and training evolve, so too do the humans who cherish their hooved companions. The two are inescapably linked together, both in the physical realm and in spirit. In the future, will we break horses to fit us and our human world, or will we allow them to guide us into new worlds, new ways of existing and experiencing? The horses have a lot to say if we are still enough to perceive their whispers through the demands of our human psyche. A new way of being with horses is on the horizon. The hoofbeats approach. Come, stand in a field, and listen closely… You may hear more than you expect.

    Dividing Lines - How...

    Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
     
     
     
    As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.
