Book Description
Door County in Wisconsin is at the southern edge of an enormous forest that wraps around the top of the globe and helps protect the world. Rising temperatures and changing climate are threatening the peninsula's trees and wetlands, a haunting sign that this oxygen-producing boreal forest is retreating. What we see in Door County is as significant as the dwindling of glaciers-but much closer to home.Shoreline at the Edge examines Paul M. Lurie's aerial photographs of the county's vulnerable but resilient land along the Lake Michigan coast. His images should serve as an inspiring call to everyone that shares a bond to the land and water of Door County.

Book Description
Why discovering the limits to science may be the most powerful discovery of allHow much can we know about the world? In this book, physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for answers to the most fundamental questions of existence, the origin of the universe, the nature of reality, and the limits of knowledge. In so doing, he reaches a provocative conclusion: science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world. As science and its philosophical interpretations advance, we face the unsettling recognition of how much we don't know. Gleiser shows that by aband.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
In Bangladesh, the chars within the river channels are an important part of its landscape. However, these land masses continue to remain isolated, deprived of services, and pockets of poverty in the country. The char dwellers are vulnerable to natural hazards like flood and erosion. In addition to these hazards, the coastal chars are faced with the imminent problem of widespread inundation due to sea level rise resulting from climate change. Within this context, the book Living on the Edge: Char Dwellers in Bangladesh has brought together valuable scholarship on the diverse issues relating to the chars and the communities living in there. This comprehensive collection, with contribution of experts on the subject from across the globe, provides an understanding of the problems faced by the char dwellers and also comes up with policy prescriptions for ensuring overall welfare of char communities in the country.
