Summary

River Deltas of China explores the intricate relationship between China's river deltas, particularly the Yangtze Delta, and the nation's historical, economic, and social development. The book reveals how these geomorphological regions have been central to agricultural productivity, industrial advancement, and urbanization. It highlights the strategic importance of these areas, noting that innovations in irrigation and water management have sustained large populations and fostered sophisticated societies. This historical analysis provides context for understanding contemporary challenges and future sustainable management strategies.

 
The book adopts a multifaceted approach, beginning with the geological formation of the deltas and transitioning into a historical analysis of agricultural practices and water management. It then investigates modern industrialization and urbanization, addressing economic advantages and environmental consequences like pollution and land subsidence. Using diverse sources, including geological surveys, historical records, and GIS analysis, River Deltas of China offers data-driven insights into land resource management and environmental conservation.

 
The book connects diverse disciplines, including Earth Sciences, Geography, World History, and Environmental Science to provide a complete picture. The book's unique value lies in its long-term historical perspective on human-environment interaction within these deltas. It progresses by first establishing the geological context, then moving into a historical analysis, and finally examining modern industrialization and urbanization. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex issues and informing future policy decisions related to China's river deltas.

    The question of where ultimacy lies should be central to the Christian. It is easy to see the social implications of allowing priority to fall to either the one or the many. This volume examines in-depth the Christian solution to the problem of the one and the many - the Trinitarian God. Only in the godhead is this dilemma resolved. Only in the Trinity does there reside an equal ultimacy of unity and plurality. Rushdoony examines the history of Western thought from the standpoint of the one and the many and demonstrates clearly that the most astute thinkers were unable to resolve this philosophical conflict. What is needed now is a complete return to the Trinitarian view of God and its implications for a Christian social order.

    For decades, the medical profession has advocated for nutritional management as a treatment strategy for various illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and excessive cholesterol. There are currently no such recommendations for brain aging and dementia.Nutrition was only recently accorded scientific-field status. Eating is a valid technique for defending oneself against brain aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's. Scientists have gradually realized the vital link between the foods we eat and our mental health. This insight has spawned a rapidly rising body of studies indicating that we may be eating our way to dementia.What has gone unreported until now is that, of all the organs in our bodies, the brain is the one most easily harmed by a poor diet. Everything in the brain, from its architecture to its ability to perform, begs for optimal nutrition. Many of us are ignorant that the only way to fuel the brain is through our food. The meals we eat are broken down into nutrients, absorbed into the bloodstream, and transported to the brain to replenish depleted stores, stimulate cellular responses, and, most critically, be incorporated into brain tissue.We are what we eat!

    In their search for truth and happiness, the classical philosophers overlooked one of the most important facets of our lives—sexuality. The author rectifies this error by questioning this field of knowledge and practice: What is "good" coitus? What is a "nice" ass? What is a "legal" sexual act? What is universally "true" in sexuality? Who is "perverse?" Does sex represent a momentary pleasure, or could it embody a foundation for happiness? Using concrete examples, Sylvain Bosselet deconstructs the preconceptions that hinder our freedom and hinder sexual happiness. He seeks to lay the foundations for a philosophy of sex.
