Book Synopsis Geological Currents : Decoding the Bhagavad Gita's Wisdom in Indian Rivers by : Yamini Malhotra
Download or read book Geological Currents : Decoding the Bhagavad Gita's Wisdom in Indian Rivers written by Yamini Malhotra and published by kitab writing publication. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the timeless verses of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred scripture dating back thousands of years, one can find more than just spiritual guidance and philosophical insights. Nestled within the poetic expressions of wisdom, there are subtle clues and profound observations that beckon us to explore the intricate tapestry of the Earth itself. This preface serves as an invitation to embark on a journey into the geological mysteries of Indian rivers, as elucidated by the ancient verses of the Bhagavad Gita. The Gita, a philosophical dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, transcends the boundaries of time, offering a holistic perspective on life, existence, and the natural world. As we delve into its verses, we discover glimpses of geological understanding that echo across millennia. It is a testament to the nuanced observations and the keen sense of interconnectedness that the ancient seers possessed, showcasing an awareness of the Earth's processes that is as relevant today as it was in ancient times. This exploration seeks to unveil the geological clues embedded in the verses of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically focusing on the rivers that crisscross the vast and diverse landscape of India. These rivers, revered and celebrated in cultural and spiritual contexts, are not merely channels of water but bear witness to the geological tales inscribed in their ancient, rocky beds. As we traverse through the chapters of the Gita, we will draw attention to verses that hint at the dynamics of rivers, the cycles of erosion and sedimentation, and the profound connections between nature and human existence. The Gita's verses, often poetic and metaphorical, provide a unique lens through which we can perceive the geological processes that shape the land and sculpt its rivers. This journey into the geology of Indian rivers, guided by the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, is an endeavour to bridge the realms of spirituality and science, revealing a deeper understanding of the Earth's mysteries. It is an exploration of the ancient's comprehension of the natural world, a testament to the enduring relevance of their insights, and an ode to the rivers that have been witness to the ebb and flow of civilizations over the ages. So, let us embark on this expedition, guided by the verses of the Bhagavad Gita, to unravel the geological secrets woven into the fabric of India's rivers and to discover the profound interconnectedness between the spiritual and the scientific, the ancient and the modern.

Book Synopsis Every Rock Tells a Story by : Richard Kehmeier
Download or read book Every Rock Tells a Story written by Richard Kehmeier and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Every Rock Tells a Story is a series of books for young adults conceived by geologist Richard Kehmeier. The series’ “raison d’etre” is to emphasize the types of knowledge geologists must have to understand the evolution of our physical planet. Rather than explaining science with confusing terms and unfathomable concepts, these books provide simple, understandable explanations of terms and concepts in a story form. Geology is often misunderstood because of the difficulty understanding subjects like geological time, rock names, mineral identification, and even faulting and volcanoes. Many people are exposed to geology in their own backyards every day and many more are introduced to it when they travel. It is the author’s hope that this series of books will help answer many questions young people may have about geology, ignite their curiosity about our planet, and help them understand how they can have careers in this fascinating and dynamic field of science. About the Author Richard has worked in geology for more than fifty years and has practiced his branch of exploration geology in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Greenland. He has spent much of his career exploring remote places across the globe for sources of metals to support our economy. Richard has two college degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Geological Engineering and a Master of Science in Geology, both from Colorado School of Mines. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Andrea, and two naughty dogs. In addition to writing, he enjoys photography and cooking. Don Long, artist/illustrator for this book, brings fifty years of ongoing commercial art experience. He has taught and created multiple university-level classes for the subject areas of illustration, character design, anatomy, storyboard layout, and movie animation concepts. He has notable industry awards and has been the lead contributing illustrator on award-winning projects such as the National Autism Society teaching manual. He won first place at the International Expo, large animatronics character division. He has contributed as lead for character design, children’s books, and graphic novel illustration. His documentary film art has won three Tele Awards. He holds a Master’s of Illustration from Syracuse University. Don lives in Colorado with his wife, Ellen, and two cats. His passion is flyfishing, and he has traveled the world pursuing his flyfishing and his love of the outdoors.
Download or read book LabOratory written by Sandra Kaji-O'Grady and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated examination of laboratory architecture and the work that it does to engage the public, recruit scientists, and attract funding. The laboratory building is as significant to the twenty-first century as the cathedral was to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The contemporary science laboratory is built at the grand scales of cathedrals and constitutes as significant an architectural statement. The laboratory is a serious investment in architectural expression in an attempt to persuade us of the value of the science that goes on inside. In this lavishly illustrated book, Sandra Kaji-O'Grady and Chris L. Smith explore the architecture of modern life science laboratories, and the work that it does to engage the public, recruit scientists, and attract funding. Looking at the varied designs of eleven important laboratories in North America, Europe, and Australia, all built between 2005 and 2019, Kaji-O'Grady and Smith examine the relationship between the design of contemporary laboratory buildings and the ideas and ideologies of science. Observing that every laboratory architect and client declares the same three aspirations—to eliminate boundaries, to communicate the benefits of its research programs, and to foster collaboration—Kaji-O'Grady and Smith organize their account according to the themes of boundaries, expression, and socialization. For instance, they point to the South Australian Health and Medical Institute's translucent envelope as the material equivalent of institutional accountability; the insistent animal imagery of the NavarraBioMed laboratory in Spain; and the Hillside Research Campus's mimicry of the picturesque fishing village that once occupied its site. Through these and their other examples, Kaji-O'Grady and Smith show how the architecture of the laboratory shapes the science that takes place within it.
Book Synopsis Regional Geology and Tectonics by : Domenico Chiarella
Download or read book Regional Geology and Tectonics written by Domenico Chiarella and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-04-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional Geology and Tectonics: Volume 2: Phanerozoic Rift Systems and Sedimentary Basins, Second Edition, is the second volume in a three-volume series covering Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. Experience in analyzing and assessing rifts - locations where the Earth’s outer shell and crust have been stretched over time by seismic activity - is critical for exploration geologists in identifying Earth’s most lucrative hydrocarbon locations in which extraction is both efficient and safe. Vast compilations of related industry data present regional seismic lines and cross sections, and summaries of analogue and theoretical models are provided as an essential backdrop to the structure and stratigraphy of various geological settings. The new edition of Regional Geology and Tectonics: Volume 2: Phanerozoic Rift Systems and Sedimentary Basins features updated summaries of analogue and theoretical models. New to this edition are chapters on deepwater foldbelts and lithospheric extension as well as new case studies on volcanic and passive margin basins. Provides a practical reference for petroleum geologists that discusses the importance of rift systems and the structural evolution of the Earth Includes analyses of active rifts in East Africa, China, Siberia, the Gulf of Suez, and the Russian Arctic that provide immediately implementable petroleum exploration applications in regions heavily targeted by oil & gas companies Presents overviews of sequence stratigraphy in rifts and structural controls on clastic and carbonate sedimentation that are critical to the exact mapping of the most lucrative hydrocarbon locations by exploration geologists
Book Synopsis Why Geology Matters by : Doug Macdougall
Download or read book Why Geology Matters written by Doug Macdougall and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-05-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volcanic dust, climate change, tsunamis, earthquakes—geoscience explores phenomena that profoundly affect our lives. But more than that, as Doug Macdougall makes clear, the science also provides important clues to the future of the planet. In an entertaining and accessibly written narrative, Macdougall gives an overview of Earth’s astonishing history based on information extracted from rocks, ice cores, and other natural archives. He explores such questions as: What is the risk of an asteroid striking Earth? Why does the temperature of the ocean millions of years ago matter today? How are efforts to predict earthquakes progressing? Macdougall also explains the legacy of greenhouse gases from Earth’s past and shows how that legacy shapes our understanding of today’s human-caused climate change. We find that geoscience in fact illuminates many of today’s most pressing issues—the availability of energy, access to fresh water, sustainable agriculture, maintaining biodiversity—and we discover how, by applying new technologies and ideas, we can use it to prepare for the future.

Book Synopsis Whispers from the Depths by : Mike Wickins
Download or read book Whispers from the Depths written by Mike Wickins and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liz and Mike Wickins' book Whispers from the Depths ... The Kariba Story is more than just the story of the building of the Kariba Dam in the mid-1950s. Built in just five years against overwhelming odds, the dam is a monument to engineering excellence. Shrouded in political undertones, the construction of the dam was vital for the hydroelectric power it would provide for Zambia's burgeoning copper industry. Little thought, however, appears to have been given to the future of the human and animal populations who lived in the valley that would be inundated when the dam was completed. The question has to be asked: Was this awe-inspiring man-made creation achieved at too high a cost in terms of the human suffering and environmental devastation it caused? Central to the story of Kariba was the fate of the Tonga people who had for centuries lived in the Gwembe Valley, due to be flooded when the sluice gates were finally closed to halt the flow of the mighty Zambezi River. Approximately 57 000 people were forced to move from their ancestral homes, abandoning family graves and spiritual sites to the depths of Kariba's water. They became a dispersed people who have never been able to reunite as a cohesive society, never again been able to live peacefully on the banks of the river which gave them life. Animals, too, perished in their thousands despite the gallant efforts of wildlife personnel who mounted a hastily planned rescue mission known as Operation Noah. Whispers from the Depths gives a voice to the all but forgotten BaTonga. It celebrates their unique culture but deplores the price they paid for progress ... a price from which they themselves derived no benefit whatsoever.
Book Synopsis Rocks in Our Heads by : Andrew Drummond
Download or read book Rocks in Our Heads written by Andrew Drummond and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of 32 short stories by 26 geologists and a mining engineer who have given some, and often much, of their professional careers in the endeavour to find and help develop economic mineral deposits in lands remote from Australia. The stories are not technically oriented, and the standard of the prose is variable. The general theme is the adventures, frustrations, inevitable dangers, and different cultural challenges which have been experienced. Sometimes we overcame these challenges, and sometimes vice versa. It may lead the general reader to an appreciation of what is required at the personal level to find the minerals which are the basis of the consumer goods on which we all rely these days to a huge extent. Collectively, they may answer the questions I asked myself in Siberia in 1993, as described by my story in the book: "What the hell am I doing here, and why?" The collection has been grouped by geographic region, then by time sequence. Readers will be exposed to wild animals and wild people; shady, generous, and lucky individuals; dodgy jurisdictions, revolutions, and war; dangerous, frustrating, and challenging situations; harsh to idyllic work surroundings; and more. We hope you will enjoy doing so and, through it, gain an appreciation of what we do, where, how and why as we go about earning a living and trying to find the mineral deposits the world needs.
Book Synopsis Life Traces of the Georgia Coast by : Anthony J. Martin
Download or read book Life Traces of the Georgia Coast written by Anthony J. Martin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.
