Sinopse

Tsunami Facts explores the science behind these devastating natural disasters, explaining their geological origins and the environmental impact on coastal communities. Tsunamis, often triggered by earthquakes and seismic activity related to plate tectonics, can travel across vast oceans, demonstrating the immense power of oceanography. Understanding warning systems is critical, as early detection can save lives. This book details how underwater geological events create these massive waves and examines the physics of their propagation and inundation. For example, a tsunami might originate from a distant earthquake but only reveal its destructive force upon reaching shallow coastal waters. The book progresses systematically, starting with the basics of wave dynamics, moving through the causes like volcanic eruptions and landslides, and concluding with risk assessment and tsunami mitigation strategies.

 
Tsunami Facts is unique because it provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview, drawing from diverse fields like geology and engineering. It presents complex information in an engaging way, making it valuable for anyone interested in environmental science, natural disasters, or protecting coastal residents. The book emphasizes the importance of community preparedness and effective warning systems, offering practical insights for policymakers and coastal communities.

Dignity in Care - The Human Side...

Harvey Max Chochinov

No one goes into healthcare with the intention of hurting people, or wanting to come off as callous, cold, or unfeeling. Fortunately, most people working in healthcare understand that kindness and compassion are key, even foundational to success in the care they provide to patients and families. And yet, all too often, there are instances when contact with healthcare is tainted by experiences ranging from vaguely annoying or abrasive to outright emotionally assaultive. Patients may confront experiences that chip away at their sense of pride and personhood.Dignity in Care provides listeners with what they need to know about the humanity and tone of care, and how they can engage in these facets of care in a thoughtful and meaningful way that will satisfy their patients' needs to be seen and appreciated as "whole persons." The author explores how the humanity of care can get overlooked and how to avoid this happening. It teaches how to communicate better with patients, helping them to feel not just cared for, but cared about. Sir William Osler said, "The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." Dignity in Care applies this outlook to all of healthcare, because many people can gain technical competency, but success within healthcare requires more.

Exploring the Britannic - The...

Simon Mills

A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
 
 
 
Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
 
 
 
There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
 
 
 
Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.
