Summary

"Salt Flat" explores the fascinating world of salt flats, diving into their geological origins, unique ecosystems, and the impact of human activities. These shimmering landscapes form when water evaporates from saline lakes, leaving behind mineral-rich plains. Often perceived as barren, salt flats teem with specially adapted life forms, including extremophiles that thrive in harsh, salty conditions. The book examines how salt flats serve as valuable archives of past climate conditions, providing insights into long-term environmental changes. It also addresses the complex relationship between humans and these environments, from resource extraction to conservation efforts.

 
"Salt Flat" progresses by first establishing the geological and hydrological processes involved in salt flat formation, then moves on to examine the biodiversity of these ecosystems, and concludes with a discussion of human impact. This book uniquely integrates geological, biological, and human perspectives, providing a complete picture of salt flats as dynamic and interconnected systems. By synthesizing geological surveys, hydrological data, and ecological studies, "Salt Flat" offers a comprehensive understanding of these environments and their role in the global environment.

    As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
 
 
 
Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
 
 
 
● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
 
 
 
● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
 
 
 
● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
 
 
 
● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
 
 
 
● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?
