Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Grand's Mount Terminus is a dark, majestic novel about art, family, overwhelming love, and the birth of Los Angeles After his mother's death, young Bloom boards a train with his bereaved father, Jacob, to travel west across mountains and deserts to California: Mount Terminus, their new home at the desolate end of the world. There, in a villa built atop a rare desert spring, they live apart from society, supported by the income from Jacob's invention, the Rosenbloom Loop, a piece of technology that has revolutionized the nascent art of filmmaking. There, Bloom grows up in the shadow of his father's grief, with only a pair of servants, the house's ghosts, and his own artistic muse for company. But Jacob can't forever protect his family from his past—the dramatic series of events that has taken him from the Hebrew Orphan Asylum on New York City's Lower East Side and into the graces of beautiful twin girls, and finally to this fragile refuge in pre-Hollywood Los Angeles. And Bloom, now an eccentric dark genius, can't live alone at the top of the mountain forever. Prodded by his newly discovered half brother, in every way his opposite, Bloom will have to come down to meet the world. Otherwise the orange farmers and the vaqueros, the speculators and the developers, the artists and the barons of the silver screen, will surely come up the mountain to meet him. Triumphant and enthralling, Mount Terminus marks a magnificent return for David Grand; it's the novel he was born to write.

Book Synopsis Recent Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Glaciers by : Mauri Pelto
Download or read book Recent Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Glaciers written by Mauri Pelto and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glaciers are considered a key and an iconic indicator of climate change. The World Glacier Monitoring Service has noted that global alpine balance has been negative for 35 consecutive years. This highlights the dire future that alpine glaciers face. The goal of this volume is to tell the story, glacier by glacier, of response to climate change from 1984-2015. Of the 165 glaciers examined in 10 different alpine regions, 162 have retreated significantly. It is evident that the changes are significant, not happening at a "glacial" pace, and are profoundly affecting alpine regions. There is a consistent result that reverberates from mountain range to mountain range, which emphasizes that although regional glacier and climate feedbacks differ, global changes are driving the response. This book considers ten different glaciated regions around the individual glaciers, and offers a different tune to the same chorus of glacier volume loss in the face of climate change.

Book excerpt: Mount Terminus : un promontoire rocheux à la frange du désert Mojave en Californie. A son sommet, une villa bâtie aux temps des conquêtes espagnoles, dont les dédales regorgent de secrets. Délimitant la vaste propriété, d'extraordinaires jardins à la végétation luxuriante. Au-delà : rien. Un désert balayé par les vents qui se jette dans l'Océan Pacifique, dont nulle tempête ne trouble l'horizon infini. C'est là, au tout début du 20ème siècle, que viennent s'installer Jacob Rosenbloom et son fils de neuf ans, Joseph. Jacob, inventeur de génie, a conçu pour Thomas Edison le mécanisme du premier projecteur d'images en mouvement - et le cinéma est né. Mais la fortune ne suffit pas à effacer le passé trouble de Jacob. Forcés de tout quitter, père et fils traversent le pays pour se réfugier à Mount Terminus. Joseph, qu'on appelle Bloom, y grandira dans le retranchement et la contemplation, jusqu'à ce que la modernité balbutiante fasse irruption dans ce paradis isolé, et que se révèlent de lourds secrets de famille. Mount Terminus est une extraordinaire épopée qui mêle le gothique au merveilleux et nous livre une fresque digne des plus grands chefs-d'oeuvres d'Hollywood. Il y est question des liens du sang, de duplicité, de la valeur de l'art, de la folie conquérante et de la grande Histoire, car c'est bien Los Angeles qu'avec Bloom, depuis le sommet de Mount Terminus, nous voyons apparaître au fil des pages - une ville créée de toutes pièces, née d'un désert et de l'ambition démesurée d'un seul homme.

Book Synopsis Hiking Trails of the Great Smoky Mountains by : Ken Wise
Download or read book Hiking Trails of the Great Smoky Mountains written by Ken Wise and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiking Trails of the Great Smoky Mountains is an essential guide to one of America’s most breathtaking and rugged national parks. The second edition of this compellingly readable and useful book is completely updated, giving outdoor enthusiasts the most current information they need to explore this world-renowned wilderness. Included here are facts on more than 125 official trails recognized by the Park Service. Each one has its own setting, purpose, style, and theme, and author Kenneth Wise describes them in rich and vivid detail. For every route, he includes a set of driving directions to the trailhead, major points of interest, a schedule of distances to each one, a comprehensive outline of the trail’s course, specifics about where it begins and ends, references to the U.S. Geological Survey’s quadrangle maps, and, when available, historical anecdotes relating to the trail. His colorful descriptions of the area’s awe-inspiring beauty are sure to captivate even armchair travelers. Organized by sections that roughly correspond to the seventeen major watersheds in the Smokies, Wise starts in Tennessee and moves south into North Carolina, with two major trails—the Lakeshore and the Appalachian—that traverse several watersheds treated independently. Further enhancing the utility of this volume is the inclusion of the Great Smoky Mountains’ official trail map as well as an informative introduction filled with details about the geology, climate, vegetation, wildlife, human history, and environmental concerns of the region. A seasoned outdoorsman with more than thirty years of experience in the area and codirector of the Great Smoky Mountains Regional Project at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Wise brings an exceptional depth of knowledge to this guide. Both experienced hikers and novices will find this newly revised edition an invaluable resource for trekking in the splendor of the Smokies.
