Snowstruck: In the Grip of Avalanches
by Jill FredstonEvery year around the globe, people cross paths with avalanches-some massive, some no deeper than a pizza box-often with deadly results. Avalanche expert Jill Fredston stalks these so-called freaks of nature, forecasting where and when they will strike, deliberately triggering them with explosives, teaching potential victims how to stay alive, and leading rescue efforts when tragedy strikes. Having spent decades trying to keep avalanches and people apart, Fredston brings them together unforgettably in Snowstruck. From a rare store of personal experience, she conveys a panorama of perspectives: a skier making what may prove his final decision, a victim buried so tightly that he can't move a finger, rescuers racing both time and weather, forecasters treading the line between reasonable risk and danger. Seamlessly interweaving these accounts, Fredston brings to life the awesome forces of nature that can turn the mountains deadly-and the equally inexorable forces of human nature that lure us time and again into treacherous terrain.

So Shall You Reap: Farming And Crops In Human Affairs
by Otto Solbrig Dorothy J. SolbrigSo Shall You Reap is a broad-gauged exploration of the intersections of farming and history. Beginning with the prehistorical era, Otto and Dorothy Solbrig describe the evolution of farming. When and how did people learn to irrigate, to fertilize, to rotate their crops -- and why? Along with its fundamental importance to history, farming has radically altered the physical world. Natural landscapes have been completely transformed to provide room for growth on a large scale of a few species of plants and even fewer species of domesticated animals. Agriculture has altered the earth's biosphere and changed its geosphere: The soil has been modified, forests have been felled, swamps have been drained, rivers have been dammed and diverted. So Shall You Reap presents a fresh and informed perspective on how farming and the crops we grow have changed us and our environment. By understanding the nature of the origins and evolution of agriculture, we will be better prepared to anticipate what the future may hold in store, and what must be done to increase food production while minimizing environmental problems.
Sobre el tiempo y el agua
by Andri Snaer MagnasonUn libro para comprender el futuro del planeta si no actuamos de inmediato. Sobre el tiempo y el agua es un ensayo narrativo profundo y convincente sobre la crisis medioambiental global y, a la vez, una íntima y desesperada súplica al mundo. Nació de una conversación con un científico puntero convencido de que son los escritores, y no los científicos, los más capacitados para hablar de uno de los asuntos más apremiantes para la humanidad. Los argumentos que esgrime son, pues, indistintamente mitológicos o científicos, anecdóticos o estrictamente morales y filosóficos. El resultado es un rico entramado de relatos de viaje, historias familiares, momentos poéticos: un libro bellísimo, a la vez que urgente.
