Beschreibung

Salt Flats of America explores the geological origins and ecological significance of these striking landscapes. These seemingly barren expanses are revealed as complex environments, offering insights into Earth's past and present climate. The book examines how specific geological and hydrological processes, combined with climate conditions, have shaped these unique formations over millennia, transforming what were once pluvial lakes into mineral-rich environments.

 
The book progresses from fundamental concepts of salt flat formation to detailed explorations of specific locations such as the Bonneville Salt Flats and Death Valley. By examining mineral compositions and hydrological data, the book reveals how plant and animal life have adapted to these harsh environments.

 
These salt flats are not just geological curiosities but also provide valuable data for environmental science, helping us understand broader environmental processes and responsible land management. The book uniquely combines scientific analysis with accessible explanations, making it valuable to researchers, students, and anyone curious about the natural world. It surveys geographically significant and ecologically interesting salt flats, presenting a comprehensive overview of these unique American landscapes and the environmental contexts that created them.

    Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book is a product of these combined gluttonies. 
     
     
     
    Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner's Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner. 
     
     
     
    Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and his father's famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family, and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.

    Another Lousy Day in Paradise

    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
     
     
     
    "Good fishing and good writing use the same skills," writes John Gierach, "whether you're after a trout or a story, you won’t get that far with brute force. You’re better off to watch, wait, and remain calm . . . letting it all happen, rather than trying to make it happen." As the wry and perceptive essays in Another Lousy Day in Paradise prove, Gierach knows his writing as well as his fishing. 
     
     
     
    Paradise, Gierach shows us, is relative; it can be found in the guilty luxury of fishing private waters or when one is soaked to the skin, in a small canoe on a big lake in a storm a hundred miles from anywhere, exhilarated after a day's fishing. There are also pleasures to be found in unexpected places: solitary fishing trips, fishing for less-appreciated fish like carp, or meeting a guide who at first seems like an inarticulate ax murderer but who proves to be a "Zen master among fishing guides." The point is to let things unfold as they will—because after all, says Gierach, "Basically, the world is a big, dumb trout, and you’re a fisherman with all the time in the world." As Gierach fans know, this is a description of paradise.
