How the Planet Lost Its Tail
How the Planet Lost Its Tail is a piece of allegorical fiction touching on the connections between humanity's most casual consumption habits (the wipe of a paper napkin, for instance) and extreme planetary situations such as modern warfare and global environmental destruction. The author, Jeff D. McMorine, takes these essential; however dark and tedious; subjects and frames them in a colorful, hopeful world rife with love, humor, and adventure.
Milutin Milankovitch and Wenceslas Jardetzky Scientific Collaboration
This book describes the scientific collaboration of Milutin Milankovitch, academician and professor at University of Belgrade, and Wenceslas Jardetzky, professor at Columbia University in New York, presenting the chronological course of their work.

Eco-Sensitive Areas
There are many eco-sensitive areas around the world, covering a sizeable portion of the world's terrestrial surface. Examples include mountain regions and transitional zones. However, due to excessive human land use activities and climate change, these regions are currently facing numerous challenges that affect the structure, quality, and ability of these ecosystems to provide services and products. In response to these challenges, many policies have been implemented, including designating protected land areas and providing ecological compensation, to balance the relationship between ecological protection and socio-economic development. These interventions must be supported by the government at different levels to ensure that these ecosystems are able to sustainably provide their services. As a result, studies related to ecosystem services should play an essential role in managing and conserving eco-sensitive areas and protected lands. However, it is still unclear how studies on ecosystem services can support the conservation of biodiversity under the present conditions and in future scenarios.
Insar and Deep Learning in Landslides Research: Intelligent Identification, Risk Assessment and Susceptibility Mapping
Climate Change, Social Inequality, and Doom
A critical examination of how inequality and cultural inertia hinder meaningful climate action.The challenges of climate change, like so many issues today, are not evenly distributed across social and economic lines. In this sobering exploration of the interconnected crises of climate change and social inequality, William M. Epstein examines how entrenched cultural values and systemic inequities thwart meaningful climate action, driving humanity closer to catastrophic consequences. Epstein outlines three potential climate futures--ranging from manageable to devastating--and scrutinizes society's inability to confront these realities with meaningful action. He argues that solutions exist, but they demand sacrifices and transformations that clash with deeply rooted societal norms. Epstein highlights the global indifference to equality and environmental stewardship and exposes the tragic inertia that imperils democracy, the environment, and humanity itself. By examining the broader implications of inequality--ranging from resource distribution to policy inertia--he reveals how societal values shape environmental outcomes and the growing divide between those who bear the brunt of climate change and those who remain insulated. Offering a sharp critique of romanticized individualism and its role in undermining collective action, this provocative book challenges readers to rethink society's capacity and willingness to confront existential and environmental threats. A profound and timely work, Climate Change, Social Inequality, and Doom confronts the moral and political failures that define the climate crisis and reveals the stark choice between an equitable, sustainable future and irreversible decline.
