Download or read book Mammals Mighty and Meek written by Katie Bagli and published by Shree Book Centre. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isn’t it wonderful to know that ours is the only one of the eight planets in the solar system to have the kind of life that it has? And of this life, mammals appear to be the most evolved. Unlike the other groups of animals, mammals express emotions, can reason and many of them can even analyse situations. Mammals have been around on the planet for a long time. Fossil records have established that they were even there alongside the dinosaurs. Moreover, mammals are found everywhere—in burrows underground, flapping their way through the skies, in the oceans, in grasslands, swamps, mangroves, extremely high altitudes, deserts, forests—even at the poles. The species of mammals vary from habitat to habitat, but they all play an important role in the intricate web of life. Many of the mammal species face a threat to their existence, what with infrastructure development being given priority and their homes—the forests—shrinking! It is the need of the hour to get ourselves sensitized to these beautiful creatures that we share the planet with. This book, Mammals Mighty and Meek, is a small effort to celebrate mammals and to learn more about them through its quirky stories, fun poems and amusing skits, all woven around true facts. So do turn the pages, read and enjoy.
Download or read book Chicxulub The Impact and Tsunami written by David Shonting and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the catastrophic impact of the giant 10 Km asteroid Chicxulub into the ancient Gulf of Mexico 65.5 million years ago. The book begins with a discussion of the nature of asteroids and the likelihood of future Earth-impacts. The story then turns to the discovery of a global sediment layer attributed to the fallout from the impact and a piecing together of the evidence that revealed a monster crater, buried under the Gulf. Reviewed is the myriad of geological and fossil evidence that suggested the disastrous sequence of events occurring when a "nuclear-like" explosion ripped through the sea, Earth, and atmosphere, thus forming the mega-crater and tsunami. The aftermath of the Chicxulub's event initiated decades and more of major global climate changes including a "Nuclear Winter" of freezing darkness and blistering greenhouse warming. A chapter is dedicated to the science of tsunamis and their model generation, including a portrayal of the globally rampaging Chicxulub waves. The asteroid's global devastation killed off some 70% of animal and plant life including the dinosaurs. The study of an ancient Cambrian fossil bed suggests how "roll of the dice" events can affect the future evolution of life on Earth. We see how Chicxulub's apparent destruction of the dinosaurs, followed by the their replacement with small mammals, altered forever the progress of human evolution. This book presents a fascinating glimpse through the lens of the natural sciences - the geology, climatology, and oceanography, of the effects of an enormous astronomical event.

Book excerpt: A beautiful story about oppression and the end of life. Subjugated under a globalist government, a disillusioned subject begins to question the state's totalitarian authority after stumbling across a charismatic separatist and receiving a mysterious directive. Following this encounter, the subject travels to the last separatist stronghold, an ancient Coptic medina, where he unearths a terrifying secret agenda: the state's ultimate technocratic project. He then embarks on a physical, mental, and spiritual journey, forcing him to confront an anguished past, a hopeless present, and a potentially horrifying future. When life faces its darkest hour, its extinction event, will it survive the ordeal and gain salvation? Or will it fail and forever suffer damnation?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been a while since I have had the privilege of coming in contact with a book that left me exhilarated and wanting for more. Gorfu, with his uncommon insight and originality delved deep into the recesses of Nietzsche's ailing soul and exposed the person of Nietzsche for what he is, at best a charlatan and anti-philosopher or at worst the ravings of an egotistic masked egomaniac. I believe Nietzsche and his world has been irreparably damaged and debunked by this essay, a

Download or read book Global Meltdown written by Joseph Wayne Smith and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1998-04-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern world is, in the authors' view, undergoing the process of meltdown—global meltdown. Having argued in an earlier book that humankind is headed for an environmental catastrophe that will either eliminate the human species or greatly reduce our numbers, the authors now focus on the breakdown of organized social order that will occur when the ecological crisis happens. Believing that civilization as we know it will not last, even without a definitive environmental cataclysm, they explore here the social, political, and philosophical ramifications of this vision. After outlining the interaction of the forces of environmental destruction, economic rationalism, and technological revolution, this book shows their impact on social problems such as immigration, racial and ethnic conflict, and the loss of personal, spiritual, and religious meaning. In the first chapter, the authors consider the effects of these social conflicts in both the non-Western and the Western world, concluding that the global meltdown theory is supported by the worldwide rise of terrorism. Chapter 2 discusses the technological and ecological forces they believe will led to a new world disorder. The work then goes on to use Australia as a case study illustrating the collision of population and environment. In the concluding chapter, the authors support their thesis further with a review of the literature on the subject.
