The Story of a Season

Winter

A thoughtful exploration of how the Sahara Desert can be returned to its former glory as a green paradise while actively combating climate change. A green Sahara is something the world has not seen since 10,000 BC when the Sahara was a wet, lush region. Grasslands, woodlands, tropical forests, and wetlands, the natural plant bounty of the ancient Sahara, provided residents with enormous flocks of birds, fish in abundance, indigenous grains and herds of wild game. By 3,000 BC though the climate changed, the rains stopped, and the ancient green Sahara dried into today's desert. It had been the victim of a phenomenon that reminds us today of global climate warming, a tragedy that we have unwittingly brought upon ourselves. But what if we could reverse the desertification of the Sahara, and bring back the green paradise of days passed? In The Green Sahara: Reclaiming Paradise in the Face of Climate Change, John Gaudet explores the process by which climate change in ancient times converted a green paradise into an arid desert land, highlighting parallels to what is happening in our time. But he also illuminates how an intense effort to create green energy is being made by several Saharan countries to build and operate enormous solar and wind farms. As a result, a wave of green energy generated in the Sahara, the largest desert on earth, is about to swamp the world, and could lead to a regreening of the Sahara Desert. If a new green Sahara happens, how will the world benefit? Covering just 20% of the Sahara Desert with wind turbines and solar panels would generate almost five times more energy than is currently needed worldwide. Gaudet highlights further benefits of regreening the Sahara by deploying climate technology to the desert such as sequestering large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and eliminating negative health and ecosystem effects felt worldwide from desert dust. Gaudet's manifesto demonstrates how, in this fascinating case, climate change induced by man actually has the power to save the world and restore a beautiful piece of ancient history.

The ultimate illustrated guide to elephants and their prehistoric relativesToday, only three species of elephants survive-the African savanna elephant, the African forest elephant, and Asian elephants. Yet the true scale of the proboscidean order, which includes living elephants and their extinct relatives, is far more expansive, spanning 60 million years of evolution and five continents. This book provides a comprehensive look at proboscidean biology and evolutionary history, describing the characteristics of every known species and revealing an incredible array of adaptations, from variations in tusks and trunks to specialized teeth. With stunning illustrations by Shu-yu Hsu, Elephants and Their Fossil Relatives is the essential reference guide to the most remarkable animals ever to walk the earth. Brings together all known elephant species and their fossil relatives in a single volumeCovers more than 230 extinct species ranging in size from creatures no larger than a chihuahua to colossal giants weighing up to three times the mass of modern elephantsFeatures hundreds of stunning full-color illustrations and cutting-edge 3D reconstructions-many restored for the first timeDelves into the biology and behavior of modern elephants, answering key questions about their anatomy, behavior, and profound impact on human cultureDraws on groundbreaking studies of ancient proteins, isotopes, and DNAA must-have for elephant lovers everywhere

The Drunken Forest

An inspiring memoir that explores nature’s crucial role in our emotional and mental health, and a "poignant meditation on surviving the darkest recesses of human nature" (The Marginalian). Bats can hear shapes, plants can eat light, and bees can dance maps.&nbsp;When his life took him to a painfully dark place, the poet behind The CryptoNaturalist, Jarod K. Anderson, found comfort and redemption in these facts and the shift in perspective that comes from paying a new kind of attention to nature.&nbsp; &nbsp; Something in the Woods Loves You&nbsp;tells the story of the darkest stretch of a young person’s life, and how deliberate and meditative encounters with plants and animals helped him see the light at every turn. Ranging from optimistic contemplations of mortality to appreciations of a single mushroom, Anderson has written a lyrical love letter to the natural world and given us the tools to see it all anew. &nbsp; &nbsp;

How earthquakes can reveal the subsurface secrets of our planet and other worlds When Worlds Quake is a fascinating account of how scientists around the globe seek to use quakes to answer tantalizing questions about the structure and inner dynamics of our planet and to discover the deepest secrets of our nearest neighbors in the solar system. Briefly traversing the history of seismology, Hrvoje Tkal¿i¿ describes the women and men who sought to understand major seismic events—from the catastrophic 1556 Shaanxi earthquake and the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906 to more recent events such as the 2020 earthquakes in Tkal¿i¿’s native Croatia—and thus shaped the field. Modern global seismologists now not only study the behavior of earthquakes but also use seismic waves as tools to image Earth’s deep interior. To do this work, they need seismographs positioned around the globe, including in remote, challenging regions. Tkal¿i¿ takes the reader along on his own daring expeditions to install seismographs and collect seismic wave data from the wilds of the Australian Outback to the rough depths of the Southern Ocean, and even farther afield—to the Moon and Mars, where quakes can be used to image the interiors of these worlds. A riveting and often personal narrative about the cutting-edge science of global and planetary seismology, When Worlds Quake reveals how quakes can help scientists to understand the mysterious inner architecture and ongoing evolution of our planet, as well as worlds beyond our own.
