Summary

Tidal Wave Impact offers a comprehensive exploration of how tidal waves shape coastal regions, influence climates, and transform habitats. Diving into the geophysical dynamics, the book highlights the importance of understanding tidal wave mechanics, detailing how the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, ocean bathymetry, and coastal geomorphology impact these natural phenomena. It further investigates ecological ramifications, examining how tidal waters create unique, specialized intertidal habitats and influence water quality.

 
The book emphasizes the increasing pressures faced by coastal regions due to rising sea levels and climate change, which intensify the impact of tidal waves. It argues that understanding tidal wave dynamics and their ecological effects is essential for effective coastal management, informing infrastructure design, land-use planning, and adaptive strategies. Through case studies of salt marshes, mangrove forests, and sandy beaches, Tidal Wave Impact synthesizes findings and explores practical applications, such as coastal defenses and early warning systems.

 
Integrating ecological and engineering perspectives, the book begins with foundational concepts of tidal wave generation and propagation, progressing through detailed case studies and culminating in practical applications for coastal management. It distinguishes itself by providing insights into the ecological resilience of coastal habitats and engineering solutions for coastal protection, making it a valuable resource for scientists, policymakers, and coastal communities.

Steve Portigal, PhD Jamika D. Burge

In this new and updated edition of the acclaimed classic Interviewing Users, Steve Portigal quickly and effectively dispels the myth that interviewing is trivial. He shows how research studies and logistics can be used to determine concrete goals for a business and takes the reader on a detailed journey into the specifics of interviewing techniques, best practices, fieldwork, documentation, and how to make sense of uncovered data. Then Steve takes the process even further—showing the methods and details behind asking questions—from the words themselves to the interviewer's actions and how they influence an interview. There is even a chapter on making sure that information gleaned from the research study is used by the business in such a way to make it impactful and worthwhile. Oh, and for good measure he throws in information about Research Operations. 
 
 
 
But, hey, that's just the nuts and bolts of the book. The truly fun part is Steve's voice and how he portrays this information through amusing anecdotes about his career, fascinating examples from other practitioners, and tips and tricks that only the most experienced UX researchers, like Steve, could come up with. As a nod to the pandemic, he offers ideas for the best way to interview someone remotely, and he also discusses personal bias—how to identify and deal with it so that it doesn't affect interviews.

The Tech Coup - How to Save...

Marietje Schaake

Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
 
 
 
In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.

Called By The Wild - The Dogs...

Graham Spence, Conraad De...

The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers.
Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world.
Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge.
When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.
