Sinossi

Sinkhole Formation explores the science behind these geological hazards, examining the confluence of geological conditions, hydrological processes, and human activities that contribute to their development. The book emphasizes that sinkholes arise from a complex interplay of natural processes often exacerbated by human actions, making understanding this interaction vital for effective hazard assessment and risk management.

 
Did you know that sinkholes can form rapidly, sometimes swallowing entire buildings or roads in a matter of hours? Also, karst topography, characterized by soluble bedrock like limestone, is particularly prone to sinkhole development due to subsurface erosion.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the geological and hydrological principles governing sinkhole formation. It then delves into the types of bedrock susceptible to dissolution, the mechanics of subsurface erosion, and the factors that trigger collapse. Dedicated sections cover mapping and predicting sinkhole susceptibility, along with remediation and stabilization methods.

 
The book uniquely integrates geological and hydrological data with human activity impacts, offering a holistic view of sinkhole formation. The authors draw upon geological surveys, hydrological data, geophysical investigations, and case studies from sinkhole-prone regions worldwide to support their analysis.

Ultimate Dog Care - Master...

Phoenix Reyes

Choosing the right puppy is an exciting yet significant decision that can shape your life for many years. It’s not just about finding the cutest face or fluffiest coat—it's about finding a dog whose personality, energy level, and needs align with your lifestyle. This chapter walks you through the essential steps in selecting the pup that’s just right for you. 
Start by considering your daily routine and environment. Are you an active person who enjoys outdoor adventures, or do you prefer quiet evenings at home? High-energy breeds like Border Collies, Huskies, and Labrador Retrievers thrive with lots of activity and space to run. On the other hand, lower-energy breeds like Bulldogs or Basset Hounds are generally content with shorter walks and more relaxed indoor time. Apartment dwellers might benefit from smaller breeds, such as French Bulldogs or Dachshunds, while those with a backyard can consider larger breeds. 
Next, think about your experience with dogs. First-time dog owners may find it easier to care for breeds known for their friendly, adaptable nature—like Golden Retrievers or Cavaliers. More independent or strong-willed breeds might require an experienced handler who can confidently train and set boundaries.

Writing Wrongly - The ongoing...

Thomas Corfield

"When the whole world's against you, at least it's something to lean on." 
When the worst writer in history self-publishes his books, the world of literature is decimated overnight. Illiteracy becomes something to aspire to and book burnings become rife. The publishing industry is left hemorrhaging credibility and teeters on the brink of collapse. Its recovery is not a matter of removing said books, or even destroying them: the same must be done to the mind responsible. 
Thomas may be the worst writer to have ever lived, but if he’s not careful, he won’t be doing much of that, either. 
This Sortabiography is the story of one writer against the entire publishing industry. There’s lots of swearing and temper tantrums, as well as a brand new psychiatric illness. There’s also an excellent café scene, which, although short, is worth mentioning. 
 “Dreadful. The title says it all. Except about it being dreadful. ” - Carmen Schneider. Acquisitions Editor, PBA. 
“The publishing industry is in upheaval, it’s true. But this just rubs balsamic vinegar into its wounds and garnishes it with slices of turd.” – Robert Tasher. MD, Banquet Press. 
“It’s ebooks like this that should have the internet banned.” - Malcolm Shrot-Faith, Literary Agent.

The Passenger: Ireland

Passenger The

The best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from and about Ireland—in the series that’s “like a literary vacation” (Publishers Weekly). 
 
Ireland is a land full of charm and conflict, a country that in just a few decades has gone from being a poor, semi-theocratic society to a thriving economy free from the influence of the Catholic Church. With the 1998 peace agreements, the conflict between nationalists and unionists seemed, if not resolved, at least dormant. But Brexit—with the ambiguous position it leaves Northern Ireland in—caused old tensions to resurface, with ramifications in politics, society, culture, and sport. 
 
Meanwhile, south of the border, epochal transformation has seen a deeply patriarchal, conservative society give space to diversity, the only country in the world to enshrine gay marriage in law through a referendum. And there’s a whole other Ireland abroad, an Irish diaspora that looks to the old country with newfound pride but doesn’t forget the ugliness it fled from. 
 
Memory and identity intertwine with the transformations—from globalization to climate change—that are remodeling the Irish landscape, from the coastal communities under threat of disappearing along with the Irish language fishermen use to talk about the sea, inland the peat bogs, until recently important sources of energy and jobs, are being abandoned. Pieces in this collection include: 
 
The mass is ended by Catherine Dunne and Caelainn Hogan · The Way Back by Colum McCann · A Trip to Westeros by Mark O’Connell · Plus: life on the margins of two unions and right in the middle of Brexit, making war on each other for thirty years while playing on the same national rugby team, emigrating to the great enemy or transforming the country one referendum at a time, digging peat bogs and building cottages, talking of the sea in Gaelic, and much more . . .  
 
“These books are so rich and engrossing that it is rewarding to read them even when one is stuck at home.” —The Times Literary Supplement
