Pages : 209
Book Description
Cystic fibrosis is a rare genetic disease that consumes a person's life before slowly killing them young. I was born with this horrible condition, but have endeavoured to lead a normal life despite it. Or at least as normal a life as anyone with three toddlers, a three-stone puppy intent on escape, a recently self-employed husband and a daily habit of 45 pills, 4 nebulisers and 2 physiotherapy sessions can lead. One Tiny Fault is the story of my life from diagnosis to now, explaining what cystic fibrosis is, and how it shapes the lives of those who have it.

Cascadia's Fault
Author: Jerry Thompson
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 158243879X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
There is a crack in the earth's crust that runs roughly 31 miles offshore, approximately 683 miles from Northern California up through Vancouver Island off the coast of British Columbia. The Cascadia Subduction Zone has generated massive earthquakes over and over again throughout geologic time—at least thirty–six major events in the last 10,000 years. This fault generates a monster earthquake about every 500 years. And the monster is due to return at any time. It could happen 200 years from now, or it could be tonight. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is virtually identical to the offshore fault that wrecked Sumatra in 2004. It will generate the same earthquake we saw in Sumatra, at magnitude nine or higher, sending crippling shockwaves across a far wider area than any California quake. Slamming into Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Victoria, and Vancouver, it will send tidal waves to the shores of Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, damaging the economies of the Pacific Rim countries and their trading partners for years to come. In light of recent massive quakes in Haiti, Chile, and Mexico, Cascadia's Fault not only tells the story of this potentially devastating earthquake and the tsunamis it will spawn, it also warns us about an impending crisis almost unprecedented in modern history.

Tiny Problem
Author: Karen Renee
Publisher: Karen Renee
ISBN: 1957194154
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 802
Book Description
As a single mom of a teenage boy, I work hard to keep life routine and regular. From the moment I meet Tiny, a member of the Riot MC, my whole life is turned upside down. When this hulking, sexy biker whisks me away from a farewell party to protect me from my abusive ex-boyfriend, the last place I expect to be is inside Tiny’s studio apartment. It’s the best option to keep me safe, but there’s only one bed. He refuses my offer to sleep on the floor. Having just met me, he makes it clear we’ll just sleep. We make it through the night, but I’m fighting my attraction to him. He insists on following me home in the morning, except a police officer is waiting at my car to question us. A bizarre instinct kicks in and I kiss him to make the police think we’re an item. It’s a ruse. A ploy. It’s also perfect. And delicious. The officer retreats, but Tiny swoops in - my kiss ignited something in him. What should have been just one night at his apartment turns into a whirlwind affair. He’s protective and determined to claim me. Insta-love some call it. It feels insta-crazy. But life is crazy and I’m getting crazier about this man by the day. Only one problem… when my obsessive ex-boyfriend threatens Tiny, we’re put to the test. I won’t let him get hurt, even if it means I have to sacrifice my happiness. Tiny and his Riot MC brothers have other ideas though. Nobody threatens their family and gets away with it.

Climate Justice and Collective Action
Author: Angela Kallhoff
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000383288
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This book develops a theory of climate cooperation designed for concerted action, which emphasises the role and function of collectives in achieving shared climate goals. In debates on climate change action, research focuses on three major goals: on mitigation, on adaptation and on transformation. Even though these goals are accepted, concerted action is still difficult to realize. Climate Justice and Collective Action provides an analysis of why this is the case and develops a theory of climate cooperation designed to overcome the existing roadblocks. Angela Kallhoff starts with a thorough analysis of failures of collective action in the context of climate change action. Taking inspiration from theories of water cooperation, she then establishes a theory of joint action that reframes climate goals as shared goals and highlights the importance of adhering to principles of fairness. This also includes an exploration of the normative claims working in the background of climate cooperation. Finally, Kallhoff puts forward proposals for a fair allocation of duties to cooperate with respect to climate goals. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate action, climate justice, environmental sociology and environmental philosophy and ethics more broadly.
