Sinopse

"Turquoise Formation" explores the geological origins of this prized gemstone, revealing the fascinating interplay of Earth sciences that create its unique blue-green hue. This book examines how specific arid environments, rich in copper deposits and influenced by distinct geological processes, are essential for turquoise to form. Readers will discover how the convergence of copper, aluminum, and phosphorus, combined with weathering and groundwater activity, leads to the crystallization of turquoise. The cultural significance of turquoise, particularly its use in jewelry and by indigenous cultures, adds another layer of intrigue.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the geochemical processes and the role of host rocks. It then explores geological settings such as porphyry copper deposits and volcanic terrains, highlighting examples from the southwestern United States, Iran, and China. Finally, it delves into mineral identification, mineralogy, and the cultural importance of turquoise across different societies. This comprehensive approach provides valuable insights for gem and mineral collectors, jewelers, and anyone interested in the Earth's dynamic processes.

    The Philadelphia region is home to an almost mystifying number of excellent gardens, both public and private. With a history of ornamental gardening going back more than 300 years, Philadelphians take pride in the tradition of horticulture readily visible today in the sizable number of public gardens, esteemed horticulture schools, and the largest flower show in the country. In Philadelphia and its surrounding counties, the reader will visit 21 private gardens behind tall hedges, down quiet lanes, or tucked into bustling neighborhoods. Here, gardening knowledge and plants themselves have been passed down through generations, culminating in a wonderful depth of expression from the artists, designers, writers, conservators, and other experts whose gardens are included. This book will inspire anyone who loves beauty to create more of it in their lives.

    Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
     
     
     
    In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
     
     
     
    Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.
