Through photographs and accompanying poems this unique collaboration by two field biologists celebrates the beauty and mystery of nature exemplified by the enigmatic sand hills of Nebraska. The book explores the natural beauty of the sand hills of Nebraska, how that beauty has been shaped by history, both natural and human. These two naturalists, with almost a century of experience between them, capture the humor, irony and breathtaking beauty of a little-known place. And they pay homage to the ranchers who live there, living examples that humans can maintain natural ecosystems while also making a life and living for their families. There is also a strong mythical element, through spiritual connections that are made to features of the landscape. The book will appeal to anyone who has a love of nature or history or an appreciation of fine photography.

Stockholm Paradigm - Climate Change and Emerging Disease (1918)
ISBN: 9780226632582 bzw. 022663258X, vermutlich in Englisch, University Of Chicago Press, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
Stockholm Paradigm: The contemporary crisis of emerging disease has been a century and a half in the making. Human, veterinary, and crop health practitioners convinced themselves that disease could be controlled by medicating the sick, vaccinating those at risk, and eradicating the parts of the biosphere responsible for disease transmission. Evolutionary biologists assured themselves that coevolution between pathogens and hosts provided a firewall against disease emergence in new hosts. Most climate scientists made no connection between climate changes and disease. None of these traditional perspectives anticipated the onslaught of emerging infectious diseases confronting humanity today.As this book reveals, a new understanding of the evolution of pathogen-host systems, called the Stockholm Paradigm, explains what is happening. The planet is a minefield of pathogens with preexisting capacities to infect susceptible but unexposed hosts, needing only the opportunity for contact. Climate change has always been the major catalyst for such new opportunities, because it disrupts local ecosystem structure and allows pathogens and hosts to move. Once pathogens expand to new hosts, novel variants may emerge, each with new infection capacities. Mathematical models and real-world examples uniformly support these ideas. Emerging disease is thus one of the greatest climate change-related threats confronting humanity.Even without deadly global catastrophes on the scale of the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, emerging diseases cost humanity more than a trillion dollars per year in treatment and lost productivity. But while time is short, the danger is great, and we are largely unprepared, the Stockholm Paradigm offers hope for managing the crisis. By using the DAMA (document, assess, monitor, act) protocol, we can "e anticipate to mitigate"e emerging disease, buying time and saving money while we search for more effective ways to cope with this challenge.
