Sinopse

Plateau Creation explores the captivating processes behind the formation of plateaus, elevated flatlands that significantly impact Earth's ecosystems and geographic boundaries. It delves into how these formations, unlike mountains, reveal the planet's dynamic tectonic and climatic history. The book highlights tectonic uplift, volcanic activity, and erosion as key mechanisms, illustrating how colliding continental plates, basalt flows, and differential weathering sculpt these tablelands. One intriguing insight is how the Tibetan Plateau influences Asian climate, demonstrating plateaus' global impact. The book argues that plateaus are dynamic features, shaping ecosystems while recording Earth's history. It begins by introducing geological principles, examines various plateau types globally, and analyzes their effect on climate patterns. Employing geological surveys, satellite imagery, and geochemical analyses, the book avoids excessive jargon while presenting established theories and recent findings in earth sciences and geography. This approach provides a holistic view of plateau formation, connecting geological forces with ecological and climatic consequences.

    Somewhere between myths and hard facts you find Nome, poised also between yesterday and tomorrow. Drawing on his background in anthropology and an equal passion for history, Michael Engelhard surveys the seam that links two neighboring continents through the lens of one pivotal city. The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections—from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage, to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them.

    Wales has a rich and varied flora of about 1200 native and anciently-introduced flowering plants, conifers and ferns. 
     
    Amongst these are many special plants ranging from arctic-alpine relics of the last Ice Age to recently evolved species and medicinal herbs. They range from short-lived annual grasses to long-lived trees and vary ecologically from those growing on the sea shores to those on the tops of mountains. 
     
    Some are widespread around the world and some are endemics only found in Wales. The aim of this book is to celebrate 101 of our rarer Welsh plants, to summarise what is currently known about them and to raise their profile in the national consciousness.

    Medical imaging is a critical component of modern healthcare, providing a non-invasive means to visualize the internal structures of the body. From early radiographs (X-rays) to cutting-edge technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), medical imaging has transformed the way doctors diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases. It allows clinicians to detect conditions that may otherwise remain hidden, aiding in early diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes.  
    The use of medical imaging dates back over a century, with Wilhelm Röntgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895 being one of the most groundbreaking advancements in medical science. This discovery laid the foundation for a range of diagnostic techniques that have become indispensable in healthcare. Over the years, the field has evolved dramatically with the introduction of diverse imaging technologies, each offering unique advantages in specific clinical contexts. 
    Today, medical imaging includes a variety of techniques, such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT (Computed Tomography), MRI, PET, and more recently, advanced methods like 3D imaging and functional imaging. Each of these modalities provides detailed images of the body’s internal structures and functions, enabling physicians to identify and assess diseases ranging from fractures and infections to cancer and neurological disorders. For instance, X-ray is often used for skeletal imaging, while MRI is considered the gold standard for soft tissue imaging, especially in the brain and spinal cord.

    Using the power of the sun, moon, stars, and planets, this unique guide is filled with engaging exercises that deepen your knowledge of the solar system, help you take necessary pauses every day, and foster a renewed sense of presence in the universe. 
    Thousands of years ago, when we humans lived together in communal caves, we told stories about the stars. When we later took to the seas, we used stellar positions to navigate and pinpoint our place in the world. When we eventually stopped migrating and settled on land, we relied on the constellations and the Sun to plant and sustain crops. Yet today, we modern humans have lost this deep connection to the cosmos that was once central to our daily lives. 
    Astronomical Mindfulness helps us reconnect to the solar system once more, guiding us through the fundamental ways in which our planet moves through the solar system and how these motions determine our perception of time and place. Offering a concise yet in-depth look at the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars, it teaches us to observe and understand the elements comprising the celestial sphere—deepening our lives and helping us become more informed, engaged, and mindful every day. 
    The best part: you don’t need to climb a mountain, visit an observatory, or even own a telescope. From an apartment rooftop to a city park, from your backyard to the window by your desk, the skies are accessible to everyone. Astronomical Mindfulness is a unique tool for personal growth essential to coping in our modern world, enabling us to be more present, more connected, and more relaxed simply by looking up toward the stars. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    There are many types of cars, or automobiles, as some people like to call them. There are the ‘family’ types that facilitate our daily lives, and get us to work and the shops; then there are the work-horses, the vans, lorries and trucks, named after the animals that they replaced; and the dream cars... the Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Rolls-Royces and the like. However, a new class has arrived too – the hybrid  
    The conception of modern hybrid vehicles with their twin engines received a rather dubious first hearing by the automotive industry and the public. The cost was incredible, and the weight of two engines in one vehicle sounded unfeasible. We all know how that has turned out, but do you know how long mankind has actually been using hybrids? 
    It will probably surprise you to learn that hybrid vehicles were among the very first cars produced in the Nineteenth Century. However, they were not powerful, and mighty oil was looking for a niche. Oil, in the forms of petrol and diesel eventually shoved hybrids aside, and set the path for the automotive industry for 150 years. 
    As for auto accessories, it is in mankind’s nature to customise anywhere he spends a lot of time, such as the home, the workplace and, yes, even the car. We hang things from the rear view mirror, put items on the rear windscreen shelf, and add our favourite accessories to the dashboard. It has ever been thus. 
    I hope that you will find the information in this booklet helpful, useful and even profitable. It is relevant to the topics just mentioned, and organised into eighteen chapters of about five to six hundred words each. 
    I am certain that it will interest people who love cars and technology, and auto accessories. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although you should rewrite them in your own words first.
