The book is an important historical document and provides insight into the challenges and achievements of early Australian exploration.Mr. Hume thought they intended an attack, and the horses had taken fright and galloped away. I determined, therefore, to fire at once upon them if they pressed up the bank on which we were posted. Mr. Hume went with me to the crest of it, and we rather angrily beckoned to the foremost of the natives to stop. They mistook our meaning, but laid all their spears in a heap as they came up. We then sat down on the bank and they immediately did the same; nor did they stir until we beckoned to them after the horses had been secured.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Forests are our most vital natural climate allies due to the tremendous "ecological values" they bring, including carbon sequestration, oxygen production, atmospheric moisture, shade, wildlife habitat, and more. The International Panel on Climate Change has indicated that land use, including deforestation, is climate change's second most pressing driver (IPCC, 2019). In addition, The Glasgow Declaration, signed by over 140 countries, calls for halting and reversing forest loss and land degradation by 2030 (UN Climate Change Conference, 2021). While trees and forest lands have been declining steadily for hundreds of years, they are being more rapidly decimated by climate change impacts, fires, and mismanagement. Forest thinning, a commonly used management practice, exacerbates climate change since logging emits more than five times what wildfires and tree mortality from insects combined emit. Commercial thinning in fire management releases around three times more carbon dioxide than wildfires. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as forests and trees are not only Not our enemy when it comes to climate change, they are humankind's greatest ally. This is because plants created our atmosphere, terraformed our planet, and continue to play a critical role in maintaining the ecological balance of our world. That balance is desperately needed now. This guide provides important scientific information often overlooked in management decisions in a different world from a hundred years ago and suggests best practices and alternatives to ineffective dominant and antiquated forest management methods and perspectives.

This book discusses the issue of riverbank erosion and its associated causes, risks and social challenges in the Bengal Delta. The book covers the physical processes and indicators of riverbank erosion such as sediment flux and channel morphology, the anthropogenic and natural causes of erosion, the social consequences that afflict vulnerable communities who depend on the delta for their livelihoods, and potential solutions to harmful erosion processes such as bioengineering methods and increased community governance through a socio-hydrological approach. Though the Bengal Delta is one of the most populated regions in the world, few publications exist that discuss riverbank erosion as a major threat to environmental and livelihood sustainability in a comprehensive manner. The book will fill this gap in research for students and researchers in geography and environmental sciences, and will engage regional planners, decision makers and policy makers to further their understanding of the complex social and environmental aspects of the Bengal Delta associated with persistent and worsening riverbank erosion.

Veteran traveler and textile expert Chris Aslan explores the Silk, Wool and Cotton Roads of Central Asia. Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster. At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.

Beneath our feet lies a hidden world, teeming with life adapted to survive in the most extreme conditions imaginable. In the crushing darkness of subsurface oceans and the frozen grip of permafrost, microscopic organisms thrive in a realm beyond our everyday experience. This is the story of these extremophiles, the microbial pioneers of the deep Earth. Subsurface Oceans: A Cradle of Life in the Darkness Imagine a vast ocean, not of salty water under an open sky, but trapped within the Earth's crust. These subsurface oases, found kilometres beneath the surface, are remnants of ancient seawater or even primordial soup trapped during the planet's formation. Here, in perpetual darkness and under immense pressure, extremophiles adapted to a chemosynthetic existence. They harness the energy from chemical reactions of elements like hydrogen sulfide and methane, thriving in a world devoid of sunlight. Permafrost: Frozen in Time, Alive with Possibility The vast permafrost regions of the Arctic and Antarctic hold another secret realm: frozen pockets of liquid water and brines trapped within the icy grip. These microscopic oases, often mere drops or thin films, are home to a unique community of microorganisms adapted to survive in sub-zero temperatures. From bacteria that produce antifreeze proteins to archaea that thrive in high salt concentrations, permafrost microbes defy the limits of what we thought possible for life. A Window into the Origins of Life and BeyondStudying these extremophiles is not just about understanding life in the most challenging environments on Earth. It offers a glimpse into the potential for life beyond our planet. The conditions found in subsurface oceans and permafrost are similar to those suspected to exist on Mars, Europa, and other moons in our solar system. By understanding how extremophiles survive and thrive in these harsh environments, we gain valuable insights into the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The Hidden Realm: A story of resilience, adaptation, and the endless potential of life. As we delve deeper into these microbial frontiers, we rewrite our understanding of what it means to be alive and unlock the secrets of life's perseverance in the most unexpected corners of our planet and beyond.

"Step by step processes for surviving of the Thick: Bits of knowledge into Jellyfish Environment" is a charming investigation into the puzzling universe of jellyfish, unwinding the complexities of their natural elements and versatile instruments. This enlightening book, containing eight shrewd sections, digs profound into the step by step processes for surviving that make these thick animals tough occupants of our seas. The basic part sets the stage by characterizing the interesting qualities of jellyfish and stressing the basic significance of grasping their environment. The ensuing sections unfurl a complete story, starting with an investigation of the different characterization and dissemination of jellyfish species, offering perusers a striking scene of the huge and shifted submerged domain they possess. The book further explores through the taking care of and savage strategies utilized by jellyfish, revealing insight into their shrewd instruments, like stinging cells and arms, that empower them to explore their maritime climate with ruthless artfulness. A point by point assessment of their regenerative procedures and life cycle gives perusers significant bits of knowledge into the intriguing excursion from polyp to medusa, delineating the unpredictable interaction of ecological elements impacting their multiplication. Natural transformations, a vital part of jellyfish endurance, become the overwhelming focus in another section, addressing their resilience to temperature varieties, saltiness inclinations, and reactions to ecological stressors. The hypnotizing universe of bioluminescence and correspondence sticks to this same pattern, disentangling the meaning of light creation in jellyfish and its job in correspondence, hunter evasion, and mating ceremonies. Connections with different species and the effect of jellyfish on biological systems are investigated, featuring cooperative associations with fish, protection components against hunters, and their impact on marine pecking orders. The book then directs its concentration toward the human aspect, examining stinging episodes, monetary and environmental effects of jellyfish blossoms, and proposing alleviation and the executives techniques.

Originally published in 1978, this book develops a conceptual synthesis of the field of physiological psychology, the science specifically concerned with the relationship between the brain and the mind. It was designed to elucidate the important questions under investigation, the basic intellectual and technical problems that were encountered, and the significance of the major empirical results of the time. Of equal or even greater importance is the author's derivation of the general principles relating brain and mind that had emerged after decades of modern research into this important question. Included in the volume are historical and philosophical perspectives on the mind-brain problem as well as extensive discussions of instruments, methodology, empirical findings and theory. Here is a powerful heuristic tool that informs the reader about the concepts and ideas implicit in this science rather than simply exhaustively listing experimental results. The author does not ignore findings; he organizes them into three broad categories - localization; representation, and learning - then emphasizes the relationships among experiments. This is a book that synthesizes, integrates, and stresses concepts, principles and problems. The careful organization of the book makes it especially useful for students of brain and mind at all levels.

Leaves drift from the trees, opening up vistas that have been hidden for a while. Flowers are sparse. The garden has stopped producing and is in the process of being tidied for the coming winter's sleep. A dozen ruby throated hummingbirds vie for a place at the feeders, gulping up nourishment before they begin their long journey.The three goose families that called our pond home for weeks have all gone. The goslings, tiny and yellow when they first swam here were images of their parents when they departed. Perhaps we'll see them again.The foxes are long gone from the back yard where we watched them as they cavorted right outside our windows. We rarely glimpse the triplet baby skunks anymore, though there are always some animal to swoop in and take their place for a few days.There's a slight chill to the air as winter prepares to enter the seasonal cycle. My blessings are many in this country place I've called home for more than forty years. Every day is different, delighting us with beauty and change at every turn as the seasons unfold outside our door.Seasons celebrates the passage of time and the joy that comes with each season as it unfolds.
