Consider these stark realities:
* A mere 3 percent of Earth's water is fresh — 2 percent is locked up in
snow and ice, while just 1 percent is liquid surface water and ground water,
available for consumption.
* Nearly a billion people have no access to clean water, and 3.3 million
people die from water-related health problems each year.
* Freshwater animal species are disappearing in general four to six times
faster than land or sea animals — in the United States, nearly half the 573
animals on the threatened and endangered list are freshwater species.
National Geographic's April issue not only celebrates the role of water in our
lives and landscapes but also identifies the key challenges affecting global
supplies and examines novel solutions to address water scarcity.
Providing insight into the key freshwater issues facing us today is a team of
renowned National Geographic contributors who offer unique perspectives to such
topics as the spiritual meaning of water; the effect of melting glaciers on
Asia's greatest rivers; how access to a faucet could transform the lives of
millions of African women; the California water crisis; the tense face-off over
water in the Middle East; and a rescue plan for freshwater fish. The roster
includes authors Barbara Kingsolver, Tina Rosenberg, Brook Larmer, Elizabeth
Royte, Don Belt, Joel K. Bourne Jr., Douglas H. Chadwick and Cathy Newman, and
photographers Edward Burtynsky, Joel Sartore, John Stanmeyer, Lynn Johnson,
Jonas Bendiksen and Paolo Pellegrin.
Complementing six feature stories and two essays are shorter pieces that cover
such topics as water and ice in outer space; using the sun's rays to disinfect
water; collecting water from fog in Peru and rainfall off rooftops in Colorado;
new desalination techniques; the rapidly evaporating Aral Sea; pharmaceuticals
in drinking water; a turfgrass that thrives on brackish water; and the world's
largest swimming pool. National Geographic's trademark maps and award-winning
graphics are featured throughout the issue. Also included in the issue is a two
-sided supplement, with a map showing all the river systems in the world plus a
look at how much water it takes to produce common items that we eat and wear.

Title: How to Win Every Argument - "The Use and Abuse of Logic"
Writer: Madsen Pirie
Language: English
Type: PDF
Sound reasoning is the basis of winning at argument. Logical fallacies undermine arguments. They are a source of enduring fascination, and have been studied for at least two-and-a-half millennia. Knowledge of them is useful, both to avoid those used inadvertently by others and even to use a few with intent to deceive. The fascination and the usefulness which they impart, however, should not be allowed to conceal the pleasure which identifying them can give. I take a very broad view of fallacies. Any trick of logic or language which allows a statement or a claim to be passed off as
something it is not has an admission card to the enclosure reserved for fallacies. Very often it is the case that what appears to be a supporting argument for a particular contention does not support it at all. Sometimes it might be a deduction drawn from evidence which does not sustain it. Many of the fallacies are committed by people genuinely ignorant of logical reasoning, the nature of evidence, or what counts as relevant material. Others, however, might be committed by persons bent on deception. If there is insufficient force behind the argument and the evidence, fallacies can add enough weight to carry them through.
This book is intended as a practical guide for those who wish to win arguments. It also teaches how to perpetrate fallacies withmischief at heart and malice aforethought. I have described each X How to Win Every Argument fallacy, given examples of it, and shown why it is fallacious. After any points of general interest concerning the history or occurrence of the fallacy, I have given the reader recommendations on how and where the fallacy may be used to deceive with maximum effect.
