Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize Finalist, this powerful elegy for our disappearing coast “captures nature with precise words that almost amount to poetry” (The New York Times). Hailed as “the book on climate change and sea levels that was missing” (Chicago Tribune), Rising is both a highly original work of lyric reportage and a haunting meditation on how to let go of the places we love. With every record-breaking hurricane, it grows clearer that climate change is neither imagined nor distant—and that rising seas are transforming the coastline of the United States in irrevocable ways. In Rising, Elizabeth Rush guides readers through these dramatic changes, from the Gulf Coast to Miami, and from New York City to the Bay Area. For many of the plants, animals, and humans in these places, the options are stark: retreat or perish. Rush sheds light on the unfolding crises through firsthand testimonials—a Staten Islander who lost her father during Sandy, the remaining holdouts of a Native American community on a drowning Isle de Jean Charles, a neighborhood in Pensacola settled by escaped slaves hundreds of years ago—woven together with profiles of wildlife biologists, activists, and other members of these vulnerable communities.

Download or read book You Are Here written by Katharine A. Harmon and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mapmaking fulfills one of our most ancient and deepseated desires: understanding the world around us and our place in it. But maps need not just show continents and oceans: there are maps to heaven and hell; to happiness and despair; maps of moods, matrimony, and mythological places. There are maps to popular culture, from Gulliver's Island to Gilligan's Island. There are speculative maps of the world before it was known, and maps to secret places known only to the mapmaker. Artists' maps show another kind of uncharted realm: the imagination. What all these maps have in common is their creators' willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of geography or convention. You Are Here is a wide-ranging collection of such superbly inventive maps. These are charts of places you're not expected to find, but a voyage you take in your mind: an exploration of the ideal country estate from a dog's perspective; a guide to buried treasure on Skeleton Island; a trip down the road to success; or the world as imagined by an inmate of a mental institution. With over 100 maps from artists, cartographers, and explorers, You are Here gives the reader a breath-taking view of worlds, both real and imaginary.

Download or read book Who Owns the World written by Kevin Cahill and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't have to be a student of geography or cartography to have an interest in the world around you, especially with globalization making our planet seem smaller than ever. Now you can IM someone in Alaska, purchase coffee beans from Timor-Leste, and visit Dubai. But what do we really know about these lands? Who Owns the World presents the results of the first-ever landownership survey of all 197 states and 66 territories of the world, and reveals facts both startling and eye-opening. You'll learn that: Only 15% of the world's population lays claim to landownership, and that landownership in too few hands is probably the single greatest cause of poverty. Queen Elizabeth II owns 1/6 of the entire land surface on earth (nearly 3 times the size of the U.S.). The Lichtenstein royal family is wealthier than the Grimaldis of Monaco. 80% of the American population is crammed in urban areas. The least crowded state is Alaska, with 670 acres per person. The most crowded is New Jersey, with .7 acres per person. 60% of America's population are property owners. That's behind the UK (69% homeownership). And much, much more! With its relevance to contemporary issues and culture, Who Owns the World makes for fascinating reading. Both entertaining and educational, it provides cocktail party conversation for years to come and is guaranteed to change the way you view the U.S. and the world.

This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-Winner of the Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize A New York Times Notable Book of the Year A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice A Wall Street Journal Favorite Book of the Year A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year A Publishers Weekly Favorite Book of the Year In the United States today, one in every thirty-one adults is under some form of penal control, including one in eleven African American men. How did the “land of the free” become the home of the world’s largest prison system? Challenging the belief that America’s prison problem originated with the Reagan administration’s War on Drugs, Elizabeth Hinton traces the rise of mass incarceration to an ironic source: the social welfare programs of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society at the height of the civil rights era. “An extraordinary and important new book.” —Jill Lepore, New Yorker “Hinton’s book is more than an argument; it is a revelation...There are moments that will make your skin crawl...This is history, but the implications for today are striking. Readers will learn how the militarization of the police that we’ve witnessed in Ferguson and elsewhere had roots in the 1960s.” —Imani Perry, New York Times Book Review

Download or read book Earth s Landscape 2 volumes written by Joyce A. Quinn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 1211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual encyclopedia brings together in-depth information on more than 450 natural geographic features from around the world and offers an array of creative tools to promote critical thinking and classroom discussion. With Earth undergoing rapid environmental change, students and the general public alike should be knowledgeable about the world's geographic features. This authoritative, two-volume reference enables readers do just that. It describes continents and oceans; individual mountains, islands, caves, and rivers; and ecological entities such as wildlife refuges and national parks. Each entry provides a geographic overview of the feature's significance, location, description, geologic history, biota, protected areas, and environmental issues. But the coverage goes even deeper so that entries also discuss the cultural importance of each natural place, covering everything from indigenous beliefs to traditional folklore to contemporary legends. The encyclopedia stands apart from other works not only in the depth of its coverage but also in its range. It discusses lesser known as well as prominent geographical features and offers critical thinking aids that will help students see how the natural world relates to their daily lives. Teaching and learning tools include an appendix called "Opposing Viewpoints" that allows students to understand landforms involved in current conflicts and disputes as well as an "Activities/Discussion Questions" appendix.

Download or read book THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS 96 English England written by Official World Record Team and published by OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD TEAM. This book was released on 2023-04-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of literature is excited about the arrival of the first book of world records to set five records at the same time, but there is another amazing achievement to note. This book has managed to enter the Top 10 of the most translated texts of humanity in its first edition as can be seen in the same WIKIPEDIA which will soon have to integrate this new achievement, something extremely rare in the industry of edition and more in the books of world records that so far most translations were in a maximum of 36 languages, so that many languages have for the first time a book of world records worldwide or on the continents. The last book to enter this ranking took 80 years to complete, which shows how difficult it is to secure a place in this select group. However, the first book of world records managed to enter the Top 10 in its first edition, which is an impressive feat that has left many literary experts speechless. Moreover, this book also managed to be the third in the list of most translated books in the world and the most translated e-book in the world. These achievements testify to the global reach of this work, which was translated into 328 different languages in its first edition, covering 100% of the countries of the world. The OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD association, responsible for this impressive achievement, demonstrates its ingenuity and ability to internalize itself in the publishing industry. This organization is one of only two international record keeping associations capable of registering records globally, while the other is a fully private company. Obtaining its recognition means obtaining a unique and very special prestige and global category that only the few and the best can achieve or aspire to have in the world. In short, the first book of world records to set five records at the same time in a single book has managed to enter the Top 10 of the most translated texts of mankind in its first edition, an impressive achievement which underlines its importance. And its global reach. in the world of literature and for everyone to have the opportunity to buy it in their native language, sales will be made through a global book site such as AMAZON. This book is a real gem for anyone interested in world records and literature, and a testament to human ingenuity and creativity in achieving extraordinary achievements across the globe. The OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD association is a recognized organization committed to its mission of recording and recognizing world records. The approval of a notarial deed by the College of Notaries of the European Union and its recognition as an NGO in the United States and Spain are proof of the organization's seriousness and commitment. The association has a notarial act approval from the College of Notaries of the European Union, which makes it an official and recognized body in Europe. This act has been approved by the rest of the associations of notaries in the world through a process called apostille carried out in The Hague, which makes it the only organization of global registers that is not motivated by partisan or economic interests like any private company would do. In addition, the priorities of the organization are to improve the social inclusion of people with a certain type of disability, the environment, and the defense of human rights, as well as just causes and action. As spokesperson for their defense by holding records around the world.
