DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1974, Arctic and Alpine Environments examines, the relatively simple ecosystems of arctic and alpine lands that still occupy extensive areas little disturbed by modern technology. The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully controlled development of the resources of these regions and suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial environments and systematically deals with the present and past physical environment – climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota – treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical biogeography; abiotic processes – geomorphological and pedological and the role of man – bioclimatology, archaeology and technological impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics and students of environmental and biological science, as well as providing a significant source for conservationists’, government agencies and industrial organizations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeta Readers Remarked: * Absurd social commentary with a spiritual twist * Satirical tale of joy and mindful living * Humorous parody of self-help and spirituality * Witty critique of modern life and inner peace * Lighthearted wisdom for personal growth * Tongue-in-cheek guide to happiness and gratitude * Hilarious journey to emotional well-being Buyer Be-Aware Categorised in the genre, Children's Books for Strange Adults, this book is ideal for children ages 40 to ancient- and-strange. This masterpiece of sub-par writing is intended for individuals who want to hear what plants and animals have to say about us even though they deeply lack our sense of social filters and fearlessly challenge popular narratives, not hesitating to call humans dumb as f&%k. It is a nuanced period piece set in an emotionally bloody time in history shortly before the 2024/5 elections, which changed the western-thinking world. From the Author As a writer of philosophy, the opportunity to write the biography of the world’s most colorful philosophy for children author, High Mountain Story Uncle, was a very welcome change from my mind. I knew the assignment would be challenging. Our whimsical Uncle is, after all, the most enigmatic figure known to the literary world, but I did not account for the fact that the village of Nihnuta itself is disturbingly otherworldly. While I expected Uncle to be eccentric, I was not psychologically prepared to spend time in a community of individuals who deliberately teeter on the very edge of sanity and reality, and whimsically plays hopscotch over that harrowing edge. The village exists as a haven of wisdom where different views of reality are cherished, and a joyful and authentic worldview is embraced. It changed me like a circumcision, permanently, everything that truly matters in life now looks different. Put on your helmet and have fun! Like how the post-op drugs make a colonoscopy a lovely experience, I absolutely enjoyed writing this necessary book.
