Yves Earhart

Sinopse

"Rare Earth Wonders" offers a fascinating exploration of Earth's most extraordinary geological formations and mineral deposits, unveiling the complex processes that create these unique features. The book masterfully connects the dots between seemingly isolated geological phenomena, from phosphorescent caves in Mexico to rare earth element deposits in Greenland's ancient bedrock, revealing their interconnected nature through millions of years of geological evolution.

 
Through a carefully structured approach, the book begins with fundamental principles of mineral formation before diving into specific case studies across six continents. Readers discover how exceptional geological conditions combine with tectonic activity to concentrate valuable minerals in unexpected locations. The work draws from an impressive array of sources, including recent geological surveys, satellite imagery, and deep-core sampling, providing a comprehensive understanding of these remarkable formations.

 
The book stands out for its ability to balance technical accuracy with accessibility, making complex geological concepts understandable through clear illustrations and real-world examples. It particularly excels in demonstrating the practical implications of these geological wonders, connecting pure science with resource management and environmental considerations. Whether explaining the unique mineral beds of Norwegian fjords or Australia's distinctive geological structures, the book maintains a compelling narrative that serves both professional geologists and curious general readers interested in Earth's hidden treasures.

Anthropocene - A Very Short...

Erle C. Ellis

The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species—these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The Anthropocene, as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news. 
 
 
 
Even with such robust evidence, the proposal to formally recognize our current time as the Anthropocene remains controversial both inside and outside the scholarly world. Instead, the Anthropocene has emerged as a powerful new narrative, a concept through which age-old questions about the meaning of nature and even the nature of humanity are being revisited and radically revised. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction explains the science behind the Anthropocene and the many proposals about when to mark its beginning: the nuclear tests of the 1950s? The beginnings of agriculture? The origins of humans as a species? The Anthropocene remains a work in progress. Is 
this the story of an unprecedented planetary disaster? Or of newfound wisdom and redemption?

Hi Anxiety - Life With a Bad...

Kat Kinsman

Joining the ranks of such acclaimed accounts as Manic, Brain on Fire, and Monkey Mind, a deeply personal, funny, and sometimes painful look at anxiety and its impact from writer and commentator Kat Kinsman.
Feeling anxious? Can’t sleep because your brain won’t stop recycling thoughts? Unable to make a decision because you're too afraid you’ll make the wrong one? You’re not alone.
In Hi, Anxiety, beloved food writer, editor, and commentator Kat Kinsman expands on the high profile pieces she wrote for CNN.com about depression, and its wicked cousin, anxiety. Taking us back to her adolescence, when she was diagnosed with depression at fourteen, Kat speaks eloquently with pathos and humor about her skin picking, hand flapping, “nervousness” that made her the recipient of many a harsh taunt. With her mother also gripped by depression and health issues throughout her life, Kat came to live in a constant state of unease—that she would fail, that she would never find love . . . that she would end up just like her mother.
Now, as a successful media personality, Kat still battles anxiety every day. That anxiety manifests in strange, and deeply personal ways. But as she found when she started to write about her struggles, Kat is not alone in feeling like the simple act of leaving the house, or getting a haircut can be crippling. And though periodic medication, counseling, a successful career and a happy marriage have brought her relief, the illness, because that is what anxiety is, remains.
Exploring how millions are affected anxiety, Hi, Anxiety is a clarion call for everyone—but especially women—struggling with this condition. Though she is a strong advocate for seeking medical intervention, Kinsman implores those suffering to come out of the shadows—to talk about their battle openly and honestly. With humor, bravery, and writing that brings bestsellers like Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson to mind, Hi, Anxiety tackles a difficult subject with amazing grace.
