California's Amazing Geology

California's Amazing Geology

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 it has many rocks and minerals found nowhere else. The Golden State includes both the highest and lowest point 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 2 billion years ago. The author provides up-to-date and authoritative review of the geology and geomorphology of each geologic province as well as recent revelations of 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. | California's Amazing Geology

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination explores how Jews and Muslims are stigmatized and endangered by the same conspiratorial template. Supremacists imagine that Jews and Muslims secretly strive to replace white European civilization with an unspeakable tyranny. The authors a Jew and a Muslim analyze the nature of the conspiracism that targets their communities. They historicize the supremacist conspiratorial imagination narrating the paranoia on a continuum from modernity to the postmodern. They begin with the texts of modernity following them through to the dark areas of the Internet and examining their violent denouement in synagogues and mosques. The book investigates the classic text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and neoclassic variations such as QAnon. It turns to Islamophobic responses to 9/11 such as paranoia regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and the doppelgänger of The Protocols namely The Project. The authors conclude by questioning how ordinary people prompted by paranoia and recognition hunger resort to violence and murder. Admittedly the authors are not certain—certainty is for conspiracists. But they may have a piece of the puzzle. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of conspiracy theories antisemitism Judeophobia Islamophobia political science history philosophy psychology sociology and criminology.

Submarine Groundwater

Submarine Groundwater

Sustainable management of water resources is quickly increasing in importance on a global scale. An important piece of the puzzle is the characterization of marine water and determining its importance to geochemical budgets. To do this submarine groundwater discharges must be carefully studied. Comprehensively exploring the subject Submarine Groundwater presents quantitative data relating groundwater contribution to the water/salt balance of regional and global bodies of water. The authors examine different data-supported methods for studying submarine groundwater flow and discharge through case studies contributed by leading international scientists. They discuss the maintenance of optimal water salt temperature and hydrobiological regimes of inland seas and large lakes. The book covers subsurface water exchange between the land and sea as well as groundwater discharge to the seas. It also provides a review of experimental methods and numerical modeling that can be used for the evaluation of specific discharge data and the effect of groundwater on the salt balance of seas and oceans. Defining the field of marine hydrogeology as a science that studies submarine groundwater its properties circulation and distribution Submarine Groundwater delineates the role of quantitative assessment of subsurface water exchange between land and sea in predicting its changes under the influence of natural factors and human activity. It provides a framework for assessing different methods and making the best choice for various situations.

Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle

Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle

For Cuba's supporters health is the most commonly cited evidence of the socialist system's success. Even critics often concede that this is the country's saving grace. Cuba's health statistics are indeed extraordinary. This small island outperforms virtually all of its neighboring countries and all countries of the same level of economic development. Some of its health statistics rival wealthy industrialized countries. Moreover these health outcomes have resulted against all odds. Setting out to unravel this puzzle the author finds that Cuba possesses an unusually high level of popular participation and cooperation in the implementation of health policy. This has been achieved with the help of a longstanding government that prioritizes public health and has enough political influence to compel the rest of the community to do the same. On the other hand popular participation in decision-making regarding health policy is minimal which contrasts with the image of popular participation often promoted. Political elites design and impose health policy allowing little room for other health sector groups to meaningfully contribute to or protest official decisions. This is a problem because aspects of health care that are important to those who use the system or work within it can be neglected if they do not fit within official priorities. The author remains overall supportive of health achievement in Cuba. The country's preventive arrangements its collective prioritization of key health areas the improvements in public access to health services through the expansion of health facilities and the provision of free universal care are among the accomplishments that set it apart. The sustainability and progress of these achievements however must involve open recognition and public discussion of weaker aspects of the health system. | Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle
