California's Amazing Geology

California's Amazing Geology

Donald R. Prothero

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
California has some of the most distinctive and unique geology in the United States. It is the only state with all three types of plate boundaries, an extraordinary history of earthquakes and volcanoes, and many rocks and minerals found nowhere else. The Golden State includes both the highest and lowest points in the continental US and practically every conceivable geological feature known. This book discusses not only the important geologic features of each region in California but also the complex geologic four-dimensional puzzle of how California was assembled, beginning over two billion years ago. The author provides an up-to-date and authoritative review of the geology and geomorphology of each geologic province, as well as recent revelations of the tectonic history of California’s past. There are separate chapters on some of California’s distinctive geologic resources, including gold, oil, water, coastlines, and fossils. An introductory section describes basic rock and mineral types and fundamental aspects of plate tectonics, so that students and other readers can make sense of the bizarre, wild, and crazy jigsaw puzzle that is California's geological history.In this second edition, the book has an entirely new final section, “California’s Environmental Hazards and Challenges,” with new chapters on California’s landslides, air and water pollution, renewable energy, and the future of climate change in California.Key FeaturesThoroughly updates the market-leading textbook on California's geologyIs written by an author with 30 years of teaching geology and leading field trips in CaliforniaIntroduces California's unique geological historyCovers fundamentals of geologyCharacterizes specific geographical regions of CaliforniaDescribes major geological resources of CaliforniaSummarizes the paleontology of CaliforniaReviews the likely impact of climate change on California's environmentRelated TitlesHollocher, K.

Ethical Sense and Literary Significance

Ethical Sense and Literary Significance

Donald R. Wehrs

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
nidottu
This study blends together ethical philosophy, neurocognitive-evolutionary studies, and literary theory to explore how imaginative discourse addresses a distinctively human deep sociality, and by doing so helps shape cultural and literary history. Deep sociality, arising from an improbable evolutionary history, both entwines and leaves non-reconciled what is felt to be significant for us and what ethical sense seems to call us to acknowledge as significant, independent of ourselves.Ethical Sense and Literary Significance connects literary and cultural history without reducing the literary to a mere expression of something else. It argues that affective differences between non-egocentric and egocentric registers of significance are integral to the bioculturally evolved deep sociality that verbal art addresses—often in unsettling and socially critical ways. Much imaginative discourse, in early societies as well as recent ones, brings ethical sense and literary significance together in ways that reveal their intricate but non-harmonized internal entwinement. Drawing on contemporary scholarship in the humanities and sciences, Donald R. Wehrs explores the implications of interdisciplinary approaches to topics central to a wide range of fields beyond literary studies, including neuroscience, anthropology, phenomenological philosophy, comparative history, and social psychology.

Ethics and Literary Worldmaking

Ethics and Literary Worldmaking

Donald R. Wehrs

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
Considering poetry, narrative, and performances from diverse oral societies and the earliest scribal cultures, Ethics and Literary Worldmaking traces ways that both oral and written genres participate in communal shaping and reshaping of affectivity, sociality, deliberation, and evaluation. The study views delineation and revision of shared imagined “worlds” as itself an evolutionary adaptive activity, one through which humans, like other species, adjust behavior and modify their environments to enhance their flourishing. Donald R. Wehrs argues that discursive heritages of oral societies from Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Americas not only delineate diverse ontologies but also seek to negotiate tensions between individual desires and communal interests, and disjunctions between what seems socially or prudentially optimal and what is felt to be right or just. The earliest scribal traditions, Sumerian and Akkadian poetry, draw on patterns of ethically charged worldmaking resembling those featured prominently in heterogeneous surviving oral traditions. Imaginative discourse, whether oral or written, returns incessantly to questioning egocentric and ethnocentric norms and self-privileging assumptions in ways that hierarchical, authoritarian societies cannot completely contain or co-opt. ?Ethics and Literary Worldmaking establishes unexpected contexts for addressing literary theory and history relevant to humanities scholarship generally, particularly for those working on ethics and/or science and literature, literary theory, literary history, cognitive literary studies, or comparative studies, but also for teachers of world literature.

Tales from the Deck

Tales from the Deck

Donald R. Elliott

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
This is a collection of stories written by US Navy personnel who served in Carrier Antisubmarine Air Group Fifty-Seven or CVSG-57, mainly aboard the USS Hornet CVS-12 during the 1950's and 1960's. The US Navy's anti-submarine efforts date back to World War II. In the 1950s, with the advent of the Grumman S2F Tracker airplane, the HSS-1 Seabat helicopter and nine dedicated Essex Class aircraft carriers, Anti-Submarine Warfare provided a powerful force to throw against the submarine threats that were developing. Carrier Air Groups became the norm, as the fixed-wing and helicopters were increasingly kept together for the training cycles and cruises to foreign waters. The airmen of CVSG-57 lived in a much different time, when defending the United States of America couldn't be done by a computer in the cockpit. Every seaman on the ship was needed to keep the ship sailing and the aircraft flying. Pilots used all their training and experience, sometimes making it to safety only because they were unwilling to give in, knowing the slightest miscalculation or poor judgment could mean disaster. Many of the stories collected around the last CVSG-57 reunion relate to the "peace keeping" deployments on the USS Hornet, CVS-12, for the personnel of fixed-wing squadrons VS-35 and VS-37; helicopter squadron HS-2; detachments from VAW-11 and VAW-13 (early warning squadrons) and H&MS-15 (Marine detachment intercept/attack squadron). Please visit the USS Hornet ship museum in Alameda, California, USA. All proceeds from this book will be donated to Naval charities.
