Sinossi

Widest Canyons explores the geological and human stories behind Earth's most expansive chasms, offering a unique perspective often overshadowed by studies of deeper or longer canyons. It delves into the intricate processes of fluvial erosion and tectonic activity that carve these landscapes over millions of years, while also examining their vital role as archives of Earth's climate history. One intriguing insight is how the study of canyon formation helps predict future geological events, emphasizing the importance of understanding these natural formations.

 
The book progresses across three major sections, beginning with the essential earth sciences and geomorphology needed to understand canyons. It then meticulously examines several of the world's widest canyons, detailing their geological origins, unique ecosystems, and the historical and contemporary impact of humans. Finally, it synthesizes the information presented, highlighting what canyon formation teaches about broader geological processes and emphasizing the importance of canyon conservation in the face of increasing environmental pressures.

 
This book uniquely emphasizes the geological and environmental factors contributing to lateral erosion and canyon expansion.

    Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?
    
    Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.
    
    Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.

    Following on from the hugely popular Treasury of Folklore: Seasand Rivers and Woodlands and Forests comes Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies, an exploration of the mysteries of the stars, skies and heavens above.
    People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia, trading stories about them; conjuring gods and goddesses; mapping the constellations; and navigating the complex human world below. The tales, traditions and myths included here traverse countries and continents and have been chosen to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown.
    Under 'Stars and Heavens' Willow delves into rosy fingered dawn and the hubris of Icarus, the Greek myths surrounding the constellations and the omen of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina and the legend of the rabbit in the moon. In the section on 'Skies' we are introduced to winged Pegasus and the Firebird, the Witch of Westray and stories of storms, the mysteries of the Northern Lights and unexplained UFOs. 
    Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies is a fascinating portal into a rich history of myths surrounding the sky, an aspect of the natural world that continues to fascinate and confound.

    This book contains the following titles: 
    Botany - Botany, the scientific study of plants, forms the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world and is crucial to numerous fields such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental science. Plants are integral to life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and raw materials. They play a fundamental role in the planet's ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. By examining plants in-depth, botany reveals their structures, functions, and the intricate relationships they have with other living organisms. At its core, botany seeks to answer key questions about how plants grow, develop, reproduce, and adapt to their environments. This branch of biology explores a wide range of plant life, from the microscopic algae and fungi to towering trees and flowering plants. The study of plants extends beyond their mere anatomy and physiology; it also includes their evolutionary history, classification, and their interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. 
    Sustainability - Sustainability refers to the practice of maintaining processes and systems that support the well-being of both current and future generations. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, from ecology and economics to social equity, focusing on long-term balance and responsible use of resources. At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources.
