Sinopsis

Water Before Plumbing explores how ancient civilizations thrived by mastering water management long before modern plumbing. Investigating early water systems, the book reveals ingenious techniques for accessing, storing, and transporting water. From rainwater harvesting to complex aqueducts, these methods were crucial for societal development, demonstrating that effective water management played a key role in the success and longevity of early societies.

 
The book highlights the intricate relationship between Earth Sciences, Geography, and History by examining how different environments influenced water strategies. The book progresses across chapters, starting with ancient water sources and early transport systems, then delving into case studies of Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, and the Inca civilization. These civilizations illustrate how water scarcity and abundance shaped their societies, revealing the social, political, and economic impact of water management.

 
This approach allows readers to appreciate the resourcefulness of ancient engineering and the importance of water sustainability. Drawing from archaeological records, historical texts, and geological surveys, Water Before Plumbing adopts a narrative non-fiction style to present complex information in an accessible manner. It offers a valuable perspective on pre-industrial water techniques and their relevance to contemporary water challenges, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Earth Sciences, Geography, History, and the enduring relationship between humanity and water.

    Red Leviathan - The Secret...

    The Soviet Union killed over six hundred thousand whales in the twentieth century, many of them illegally and secretly. That catch helped bring many whale species to near extinction by the 1970s, and the impacts of this loss of life still ripple through today’s oceans. In this new account, based on formerly secret Soviet archives and interviews with ex-whalers, environmental historian Ryan Tucker Jones offers a complete history of the role the Soviet Union played in the whales' destruction. 
     
     
     
    As other countries—especially the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Norway—expanded their pursuit of whales to all corners of the globe, Stalin determined that the Soviet Union needed to join the hunt. Cold War intrigue encouraged this destruction, but, as Jones shows, there is a more complex history behind this tragic Soviet experiment. Jones compellingly describes the ultimate scientific irony: today's cetacean studies benefited from Soviet whaling, as Russian scientists on whaling vessels made key breakthroughs in understanding whale natural history and behavior. 
     
     
     
    Red Leviathan reveals how the Soviet public began turning against their country's whaling industry, working in parallel with Western environmental organizations like Greenpeace to help end industrial whaling—not long before the world's whales might have disappeared altogether.

    Not a technical guide on snowboarding but, rather, a very personal approach to how to think about mountains, snow, and adventure, The Art of Shralpinism reflects the remarkable journey of snowboarding superstar Jeremy Jones. Drawing on the hundreds of journals he has kept over the years, Jones offers intriguing snapshots of time and place that include his own on-the-slope stories and white-out moments, as well as those of other prominent adventurers such as Jimmy Chin, Zahan Billimoria, and Christina Lusti. 
     
     
     
    Shralpinism is a compendium of lessons hard won: quick tips, sound advice, and impactful stories. Learn which aspects of avalanche training are most crucial to absorb, ways to anticipate slope behavior or recognize clean lines, how to cut a cornice or develop safety protocols, how to build a fitness routine, the art of the turn, and keys to developing terrain and skills progression. Jones discusses the importance of mentors, the necessity and intensity of practice, the nature of risk, and the shape of failure. 
     
     
     
    But at its heart, The Art of Shralpinism revels in the power of experience, the impact of stoke, and the beauty that underscores all outdoor adventure.
