Summary

Wave Cut explores the captivating world of wave-cut platforms, those intriguing coastal landforms that act as records of Earth's history. The book delves into the geological processes shaping these platforms, emphasizing the interplay between coastal erosion, sea-level changes, and the underlying geology. By studying these features, scientists gain insights into past sea levels and rates of coastal erosion, critical for understanding shoreline evolution. One intriguing aspect covered is how different rock types respond to wave action, influencing the platform's development.

 
The book begins by establishing a foundation in coastal geomorphology and wave dynamics, explaining how waves, armed with sediment, relentlessly erode coastlines. It then progresses through the key factors involved in platform formation, including wave action, sea-level fluctuations, and geological context.

 
Wave Cut differentiates itself by integrating field observations, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling to provide a comprehensive understanding. The book's focus on wave-cut platforms offers valuable insights for coastal management and hazard assessment, providing a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers alike.

Birds Aren't Real - The True...

Peter McIndoe, Connor Gaydos

This program is read by the authors. The true story of the greatest conspiracy in US history—and how to fight back.Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? You haven’t, have you? No one has, not in many, many years. They used to be everywhere. You couldn’t walk out of your front door in New York City in the 1930s without seeing dozens of those little guys scurrying around. Today, there are millions of grown up pigeons in New York, but not a baby pigeon to be seen. That’s because they come out of the factory as adults.This is one of the many smoking guns of the bird drone surveillance crisis. Since 1959, the Deep State has mercilessly slaughtered over 12 billion birds and replaced them with identical drones that are designed to spy on private citizens and report their every action directly to the government. From pet canaries to Sesame Street, the shadowy figures that pull the strings have infiltrated every aspect of our society, making a mockery of civil liberties while the American people live in blissful ignorance. Until now.In Birds Aren’t Real, whistleblowers Peter McIndoe and Connor Gaydos trace the roots of a political conspiracy so vast and well-hidden that it almost seems like an elaborate hoax. These hero Bird Truthers have risked life and limb to compile and disseminate a treasure trove of information about the origins of the surveillance crisis, its spread, and the patriots who are on the front lines today, raising awareness and working to reclaim America as the land of the free. This urgent manifesto features a host of useful illustrations, activities, and leaked classified documents that will convince even the most outspoken skeptic that birds aren’t real. The truth is out there: will you stand and fight before it’s too late?A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Endangered Eating - America's...

Sarah Lohman

Apples, a common New England crop, have been called the United States' most endangered food. The iconic Texas Longhorn cattle is categorized at critical risk for extinction. Unique date palms, found nowhere else on the planet, grow in California’s Coachella Valley, but the family farms that caretake them are shutting down. Apples, cattle, dates?these are foods that carry significant cultural weight. But they’re disappearing. In Endangered Eating, culinary historian Sarah Lohman draws inspiration from the Ark of Taste, a list compiled by Slow Food International that catalogues important regional foods. She travels the country learning about the distinct ingredients at risk of being lost: in Hawaii, she learns the stories behind heirloom sugarcane; in the Navajo Nation, she assists in the traditional butchering of a Navajo Churro ram; in the Upper Midwest, she harvests wild rice; in the Pacific Northwest, she spends a day reefnet fishing; on the Gulf Coast, she devours gumbo made with filé powder; in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, she tastes America’s oldest peanut. She learns from those who love these rare ingredients: shepherds, fishers, farmers, scientists, historians, and activists. And she tries her hand at raising these crops and preparing these dishes. Animated by stories yet grounded in research, Endangered Eating gives listeners the tools to support community organizations and producers that work to preserve local culinary traditions and rare, cherished foods.
