By the author of Pond Puckster! Making diving headers on the soccer field or climbing the toughest walls of rock, Mardi Slote lives life to the fullest. Like her father, she fearlessly "pushes the envelope" in all she does. But when her father announces that he is going to climb the world's tallest mountain, a mountain that has already claimed more than a hundred lives, Mardi is afraid. The Call of Sagarmatha follows David Slote's battle for survival against the elements on Mount Everest, or Sagarmatha, as the native people of Nepal refer to it. Meanwhile, Mardi must come to grips with her anger over that climb, an anger which threatens to destroy her zest for life, and tear her family apart. In a novel which captures the drama of climbing, from the rocky cliffs of New Hampshire to the slopes of Mount Everest, the greatest struggle is in the soul of a twelve year-old girl.

Conservation written by Monique Borgerhoff Mulder and has been published by Princeton University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-06-05 with Nature categories.
Nearly 90 percent of the earth's land surface is directly affected by human infrastructure and activities, yet less than 5 percent is legally "protected" for biodiversity conservation--and even most large protected areas have people living inside their boundaries. In all but a small fraction of the earth's land area, then, conservation and people must coexist. Conservation is a resource for all those who aim to reconcile biodiversity with human livelihoods. It traces the historical roots of modern conservation thought and practice, and explores current perspectives from evolutionary and community ecology, conservation biology, anthropology, political ecology, economics, and policy. The authors examine a suite of conservation strategies and perspectives from around the world, highlighting the most innovative and promising avenues for future efforts. Exploring, highlighting, and bridging gaps between the social and natural sciences as applied in the practice of conservation, this book provides a broad, practically oriented view. It is essential reading for anyone involved in the conservation process--from academic conservation biology to the management of protected areas, rural livelihood development to poverty alleviation, and from community-based natural resource management to national and global policymaking.

In early 2020, at the age of 21, leaving all modes of support behind, Mohul Bhowmick set out on a solo trip to Nepal. Out of this came Seeking Kathmandu, which is an acclaimed piece of travel literature. Resplendent with tales of delight and hardship as well as the magnanimity and generosity of his hosts, this book speaks in agonising detail about the pleasures and pains of solo travel. Painting pictures with his flawless lyrical language and deep metaphysical examinations, Bhowmick takes the reader on an extremely pleasing visual journey of the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, from the finesse of Kathmandu to the squalor of Bhaktapur and the grace of Pokhara. This is a travelogue like no other, albeit it being the author's first venture into non-fiction after three successful books of poetry.

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Fascinating wonders Chapter 2 Let's learn more: mountains are amazing Chapter 3 Fun mountain facts Conclusion Learning is an adventure Author Bio Introduction “Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.” ~Barry Finlay *** Mountains make the world more beautiful and a very interesting place to live. Some mountains are big and others are small. Did you know planet earth is full of mountains? Many animals live on mountains and many people love to hike them just for fun or adventure. How about you? How do you feel about mountains? If someone asked you what is a mountain… what would you say? The dictionary defines a mountain as “a large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level; a large steep hill.” Does that sound too complicated? Let’s try another way. Let say…a mountain comes up from the ground and is higher than everything else around it. They are not hills because they are bigger than hills. And mountains don’t like to be alone. They like to be with other mountains! How can we tell a mountain and hill apart? The difference is the height. A mountain has to rise more than 1,000 feet above the things around it to be called a mountain. Mountains come from different places and one of them is tectonic plates. In our book Beautiful Volcanoes, we talked about these plates. “If you dig all the way inside the earth, you will find something that looks like a giant puzzle with lots of different parts. The parts we want to discover are called: “tectonic plates.” There are eight important plates on the planet and there are some smaller ones too. These big plates move around all the time and soon pressure starts to build. Geography4kids.com says to think of the plates like the skin of planet earth.” But how does it work? Easy science for kids says to think of it like this: When two cars run into each other head on, what happens? Did you think of how much the car crumples up in the front? This what scientist says happens to the mountain and that’s why they looked so crumpled up! Scientists also say some mountains are born because of volcanic eruptions. When rocks melt inside the earth, it pushes up to the surface and turns into lava. Then the lava and the hot dust from the volcano cooled down and soon mountains start to grow. This takes a very long time. How long? Millions of years long! What else can we learn? Mountains are everywhere on planet earth and even in the ocean. Did you know some of the highest mountains are at the bottom of the sea? Some islands are even at the tops of mountains! Do you think it might be hard to climb a mountain in the ocean? I think it might be very hard! Mountains come in different types like: -Volcanic -Fold -Fault-block -Dome -Plateau Do you know what these words mean? Not to worry! We will talk about them in Chapter 1 of this book. Remember: Mountains are very special places and we learn lots of amazing things about them. They are also beautiful to watch and fun to explore. Please join me to on this quest to discover more on the wonderful world of … Beautiful Mountains!

One of the central areas of concern in late twentieth-century philosophy is the debate between Realism and anti-Realism. But the precise nature of the issues that form the focus of the debate remains controversial. In Realism and Explanatory Priority a new way of viewing the debate is developed. The primary focus is not on the notions of existence, truth or reference, but rather on independence. A notion of independence is developed using concepts derived from the theory of explanation. It is argued that this approach enables us to clarify the exact nature of the empirical evidence that would be required to establish Realism in any area. The author defends a restricted form of Realism, which he calls Nomic Structuralism. The book will be suitable for professional philosophers of language, science and metaphysics, and their graduate students.
