Synopsis

Valleys of China explores the geological processes and ecosystems that define China's valley landscapes, focusing on their formation and ecological importance. The book presents a comprehensive examination of how tectonic activity, fluvial erosion, and climatic conditions have shaped these regions over millennia. One intriguing aspect is the delicate balance between endogenic forces like the uplift of the Himalayas and exogenic forces such as river systems like the Yangtze and Yellow River, which together sculpt the valleys. Understanding these dynamics is crucial not only for earth science but also for sustainable land management. 

 
The book's unique value lies in its interdisciplinary approach, combining geological analysis with ecological assessments and an examination of human impact. It begins by laying the groundwork with core geological principles and geographical contexts, then progressing into specific valley regions, exploring their features and ecological communities. 

 
The book is divided into three major sections: the Formation of Valleys, focusing on tectonic activity and river erosion; Valley Ecosystems, focusing on flora, fauna, and human interactions; and Valley Conservation, focusing on sustainable development and conservation efforts. 

 
The book concludes by addressing the implications of climate change and human activities, advocating for sustainable management practices in these vulnerable landscapes.

Cull of the Wild - Killing in...

Hugh Warwick

Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming, or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. 
 
 
 
Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humor in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals and protect native species—including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, cane toads in Australia, and the smooth-billed ani on the Galapagos—and describes cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade. 
 
 
 
Taking a balanced and open approach to this emotive subject, Hugh speaks to experts on all sides of the debate. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritize? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation?
