Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reefs are on track to become the first ecosystem actually eliminated from the planet. So says leading ecologist Peter F. Sale in this crash course on the state of the planet. Sale draws from his own extensive work on coral reefs, and from recent research by other ecologists, to explore the many ways we are changing the earth and to explain why it matters. Weaving into the narrative his own firsthand field experiences around the world, Sale brings ecology alive while giving a solid understanding of the science at work behind today’s pressing environmental issues. He delves into topics including overfishing, deforestation, biodiversity loss, use of fossil fuels, population growth, and climate change while discussing the real consequences of our growing ecological footprint. Most important, this passionately written book emphasizes that a gloom-and-doom scenario is not inevitable, and as Sale explores alternative paths, he considers the ways in which science can help us realize a better future.

Book excerpt: An eye-opening introduction to the complexity, wonder, and vital roles of coral reefs When mass coral bleaching and die-offs were first identified in the 1980s, and eventually linked to warming events, the scientific community was sure that such a dramatic and unambiguous signal would serve as a warning sign about the devastating effects of global warming. Instead, most people ignored that warning. Subsequent decades have witnessed yet more degradation. Reefs around the world have lost more than 50 percent of their living coral since the 1970s. In this book, distinguished marine ecologist Peter F. Sale imparts his passion for the unexpected beauty, complexity, and necessity of coral reefs. By placing reefs in the wider context of global climate change, Sale demonstrates how their decline is more than simply a one-off environmental tragedy, but rather an existential warning to humanity. He offers a reframing of the enormous challenge humanity faces as a noble venture to steer the planet into safe waters that might even retain some coral reefs.

Book excerpt: This work goes beyond the description of the nutritional chemistry of minerals as electrolytes. This book presents evidence of how factors in our lifestyle and polluted environment are insidiously contributing to a cumulative depletion of minerals that is the cause of our escalating level of morbidity statistics - most illness, degenerative disease, premature deaths and aging. The author claims breakthrough research experience with over a thousand patients explaining how depleting levels of electrolytes alter alkaline pH causing acid damage to cells and toxic overload responsible for illness and disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Woven Histories, Dancing Lives is a collection of essays that communicates the unique histories and cultures of Torres Strait Islanders to a broad audience. Not only have Islanders long absorbed the cultural influences from two surrounding landmasses and, more recently, negotiated the development of two nations in the region, their lives have been transformed by 150 years of immigration and new economic and political conditions. In this collection, readers will discover the remarkable cultural diversity that has emerged from this history." "The contributors offer new reflections on inter-ethic relationships, identity concerns, gender relations and the political struggles of Islanders."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive hydrogeological investigations of Kenya as country have been carried out within various geological settings that range from volcanic terrains and associated quaternary sediments, through sedimentary terrains of northern and coastal Kenya to areas underlain by metamorphic rocks. The objective of the study was to establish groundwater occurrence and distribution in country including characterization of the aquifer properties. The aspects considered in this study of groundwater include: underlying geology, aquifer geometry, groundwater levels in the aquifer, groundwater flow and recharge, specific capacity and transmissivity of the aquifer. The study commences with a systematic analysis of over 13,000 borehole data in relation to geomorphological and geological setting from a regional conceptualization to more specific areas with distinct hydrogeological features. The results reveal that the aquifer within the sedimentary terrains (northern Kenya-Kenya coast) stretches over a distance of 740km in NW-SE direction as a continuum all the way from the Marsabit through Garissa and terminates at Lamu within the Kenyan Coast. Merti aquifer is part of this large aquifer system. The estimated average transmissivity indicate that a net flux of some 75,000m3. The main aquifer within the sedimentary setting of southern Kenya include Sabaki aquifer (at Baricho area), Tiwi Aquifer and Msambweni. The aquifer zone is marked by saturated sandy layers within the Kilindini Formation. The total storage in the northern and central parts of the sandy facies of the Kilindini Formation, assuming an effective porosity of 30%, is in the order of 112 million m3. Within the Rift Valley ground water is confined within lacustrine sediments, weathered and/or fractured zones in the volcanic rocks, and sediments interbedded between volcanic rocks. The aquifers within rift valley include: Turkana aquifer, Baringo-Bogoria aquifer, Nakuru aquifer, and Magadi aquifer. In the areas covered by the basement rocks there is no single identified aquifer with significant amount of groundwater. According to the peizometric map, the aquifer within the basement rocks are localized; examples of these aquifers occur around Isiolo, Meru, Embu, Wote and Kitui areas. Under the geological conditions of the Basement terrains, the groundwater occurs in weathered zones above the crystalline Basement rocks, fractured zones within the crystalline bedrock, and alluvial deposits along the main drainage channels.
