Human-induced climate change is an important environmental issue worldwide, as scientific studies increasingly demonstrate that human activities are changing the Earthâ€™s climate. Even if dramatic reductions in emissions were made today, some human-induced changes are likely to persist beyond the 21st century. The Kyoto Protocol calls for emissions reporting that separates out management-induced changes in greenhouse gases from those changes caused by indirect human effects (e.g., carbon dioxide fertilization, nitrogen deposition, or precipitation changes), natural effects, and past practices on forested agricultural lands. This book summarizes a September 2003 workshop where leaders from academia, government and industry came together to discuss the current state of scientific understanding on quantifying direct human-induced change in terrestrial carbon stocks and related changes in greenhouse gas emissions and distinguishing these changes from those caused by indirect and natural effects.

In 1899, while clearing bush on his poor New Zealand farm, William McQuiggan experiences an epiphany. Shortly thereafter, he leaves his young Australian wife Myra and newborn twins and travels to America in search of God. Belief is the story of William's journey and his marriage to Myra, who follows him from Auckland to Salt Lake City, Utah, and Zion City, Illinois. With each leg of the journey, the family grows until William is the reluctant father of six. During their travels, Myra comes up against her husband's religious zealotry and his slow but inevitable mental disintegration. Spanning 17 years, three countries, and three religions, Belief heralds the US debut of a remarkable writer with a vivid evocation of a bygone way of life.

One of Humans of New York's most followed stories, the tale of Stephanie Johnson, better known as Tanqueray. 1970s New York City: Go-go dancers, hustlers, dirty cops, gangsters, and Stephanie Johnson... In 2019, Humans of New York featured a photo of a woman in an outrageous fur coat and hat she made herself. She instantly captured the attention of millions. Her name is Stephanie Johnson, but she's better known to HONY followers as "Tanqueray," the indefatigable woman who was once one of the best-known burlesque dancers in New York City. Brandon Stanton chronicled her life in the longest series he had yet posted on HONY, but, now, Stephanie Johnson--a woman as fabulous, unbowed, and irresistible as the city she lives in--tells all in Tanqueray, a book filled with never-before-told stories, personal photos from her own collection, and glimpses of New York City back in the day when the name "Tanqueray" was on everyone's lips.

Robin Sessoms spends her weeks working forty-plus hours as the head reservation clerk at the Gray Pearl, in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Her boss is Todd Kendricks, an undercover drug addict who is still sleeping with his drug-addicted ex-wife, the mother of his first son. He's also involved with Chanel, a friend of Robin's who is the mother of Todd's second son. Todd's life might be scandalous, but Robin has some shadows of her own to deal with. She seeks the help of a therapist, Dr. Christopher, who she visits twice per week when she decides something inside of her just isn't quite right. What she doesn't know is that she's been living with a dual personality since childhood, when her father severly abused her and her mother. Rockin' Robin, her alternate personality, is lurking just below the surface, waiting to emerge. When Nelson Bray, a powerful retired lawyer, checks into the Gray Pearl, Robin's world is turned upside down. He is definitely not the type of man she would be attracted
