So far, humanity hasn’t done very well in addressing the ongoing climate catastrophe. Veteran science educator L. S. Gardiner believes we can learn to do better by understanding how we’ve dealt with other types of environmental risks in the past and why we are dragging our feet in addressing this most urgent emergency. Weaving scientific facts and research together with humor and emotion, Gardiner explores human responses to erosion, earthquakes, fires, invasive species, marine degradation, volcanic eruptions, and floods in order to illuminate why we find it so challenging to deal with climate change. Insight emerges from unexpected places—a mermaid exhibit, a Magic 8 Ball, and midcent...

Every reader will find something of interest in this book — from superdiffusion of the ocean surface to fetal heartbeats, from solar wind to the wearing-out of tools, from radioactive contamination to texture analysis, from image rendering to neural developments. The all-pervading link connecting these disparate disciplines is the realization that a linear approach to the majority of natural processes is at best only an approximation that can frequently be downright misleading. Consequently, the rise of what is broadly called the theory of complexity has gained tremendous momentum in the last decade or two. This modern approach aims at, and frequently succeeds in, correctly explaining many natural processes.The papers in this volume are based on presentations of the sixth international conference exploring the above-mentioned issues. These conferences are now regular and well established among the nonlinear series of conferences. This conference series is organized in different geographical regions, to encourage international collaboration. Among the distinguishing features of the series is its multidisciplinary nature, which has been growing steadily.
In the nation's brief history, three presidents have faced impeachment. Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and William Jefferson Clinton. Now there is a fourth. President John Simeon Andrews. He is in deep trouble with a hostile Congress. He used his high office for personal gain, and there is no way out. The House is certain to impeach President Andrews and the Senate is just as certain to convict. He will be the first president kicked out of office. Plagued by deep-seated paranoia, Andrews steadily slips toward insanity. He refuses to resign. He blames reporter Sam Matthews for pushing him to the edge of a political abyss. He plots the murder of Matthews and orders his own assassination to avoid leaving a muddy footprint in history. But he doesn't stop there.
One night with him awakened my senses. One more night with him threw everything into question. Everything I thought I knew about myself. My name is Abby Evans. I was raised by a God-fearing mother determined to turn me into the good girl she always wanted me to be. For twenty-five years, she succeeded. Until the one night she didn't. That night, I had a one-night stand with a stranger. And already I can sense something within me that wants to break free.
