Sinopsis

"Riverside Views" offers a comprehensive exploration of the world's major river systems, weaving together their ecological significance and cultural importance throughout human history. The book expertly navigates through the complex relationships between rivers and civilization, examining how these waterways serve as both vital ecosystems and crucial resources for human development. Through detailed analysis of iconic rivers like the Amazon, Nile, Yangtze, and Mississippi, readers gain insight into how these dynamic systems shape landscapes and support biodiversity.

 
The book's three-part structure provides a logical progression from physical geography to ecosystem dynamics and human interactions. Starting with the fundamental aspects of river mechanics, including flow patterns and sediment transport, it builds toward an understanding of complex riverside ecosystems and their inhabitants. The final section bridges the gap between natural sciences and human development, exploring how civilizations have historically interacted with rivers and how modern challenges like climate change and urban development impact these vital waterways.

 
What sets this work apart is its multidisciplinary approach, combining hydrological data, ecological surveys, and anthropological studies to create a complete picture of river systems. The inclusion of case studies, detailed maps, and data visualizations makes complex concepts accessible to both scientists and general readers. By addressing current challenges such as pollution and water rights disputes while offering practical solutions for conservation, the book serves as an essential resource for environmental scientists, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of our planet's river systems.

    Slippery, wet, and strange: Fish can be easier to think of as food than as fellow animals. But what do we know about these creatures we meet on our dinner table and how they got there? But with warming oceans, diminishing fish stocks, and questions about fish farming practices, where will the fish come from? 
     
    In Every Last Fish, Rose George dives into these questions by exploring the vast industries that support our appetite for fish sticks and salmon burgers, and the colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous. Journeying to the bottom of the ocean and back, she examines the machinations of this $200 billion food system―one that's growing rapidly even as fish populations disappear. 
     
    Along the way, George introduces us to the people on the front lines of fishes and fishing: fishermen, divers, marine biologists, fish fryers, and fishwives. Her journey ends at the fish counter, with guidance for listeners looking to make better choices, both for the ocean's health and their own. 
     
    Ranging from Alaska to the United Kingdom to Senegal and beyond, Every Last Fish is an unforgettable trip through the ocean's inhabitants and workers.

    AI isn't just changing how we work; it's changing who holds power. 
    I didn't see that at first. When I fell in love with AI, I thought I'd simply found the perfect writing partner. Like millions of others, I jumped in without really understanding what I was getting into, using it daily, depending on it, unable to explain what it actually was. 
    Maybe your story is similar. Maybe you're still deciding whether to jump in at all. Either way, I have a feeling we all share the same mix of possibility and... something else. 
    That uneasy feeling led to a startling realisation: AI has agency. It acts, decides, shapes outcomes. Which made me ask, did I still have any? Or had I handed mine over without even noticing? 
    As a community engagement specialist, I'd spent my career helping people reclaim power in systems designed without them. The irony wasn't lost on me. Meanwhile, headlines were getting harder to ignore, everyone saying "get on board or get left behind," but no one explaining what we were actually boarding or what we might be giving up. 
    So, I set out on a journey to understand what I was seeing. That journey took me from microplastics to algorithms, from falling in love with AI to recognising familiar patterns of burden-shifting and power imbalances. If you're trying to make sense of what's happening without the tech jargon, this book is for you. 
    Our AI: My Journey, Your Invitation, Our Future is a wake-up call disguised as a love story, a guide for spotting the patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations that are shaping our future, with or without us. 
    AI is here whether we like it or not. The question is: on whose terms?

    Humans are the most intelligent beings this planet has ever produced. But how is it that we find ourselves faced with an existential crisis that threatens to overwhelm us? 
     
     
     
    Leading archaeogeneticist Johannes Krause and journalist Thomas Trappe investigate what DNA can tell us about how we got where we are and what our future might be. They show how the first humans were defeated again and again and suffered fatal setbacks, and how Homo sapiens succeeded in conquering continents, overcoming natural borders, and bringing other species under its control. But the genetic blueprint that enabled us to get to the place where we are today had one flaw: it didn't factor in planetary boundaries. Now that we are approaching those boundaries for the first time after millions of years of evolution, an urgent question arises: can we learn to live within the planetary limits, or are we doomed by our DNA to continue to expand, consume, and absorb the resources around us to the point of exhaustion, consigning ourselves and other species to extinction? 
     
     
     
    While the looming climate crisis does not augur well for humanity's capacity to adapt to the new situation in which it finds itself, we are not at the mercy of our DNA—or at least we don't have to be. But can we harness the lessons of the past to survive the present?

    The world is increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of disasters, both natural and man-made, that threaten our lives, economies, and ecosystems. These crises, which range from catastrophic earthquakes to the far-reaching impacts of climate change, have become more frequent, intense, and interconnected. While the planet has always been subject to the forces of nature, human activity has amplified many of these events, while also introducing new, unprecedented risks. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, have become an inevitable part of the global landscape, but they are now exacerbated by the ongoing environmental degradation we’ve caused. Likewise, man-made calamities, from industrial accidents to nuclear disasters, have demonstrated how human innovation can have disastrous consequences when not properly managed. 
      
    The interwoven nature of these crises has led to a compounded sense of urgency. Events like pandemics, which have a devastating impact on public health, can be worsened by the social and economic disarray that follows a natural or political disaster. The global interconnectivity in the age of globalization means that no disaster remains confined to one region; effects ripple across borders, affecting distant countries and societies. With climate change creating new uncertainties, the boundaries between natural and man-made disasters are becoming increasingly blurred. Rising temperatures contribute to more severe weather events, droughts, and wildfires, while deforestation, industrial pollution, and resource depletion are accelerating these destructive trends.
