Would you be surprised if you came face to face with a Drumming Katydid, Red-eared Slider or Brown Bullhead? Would you know what to do if Dalmatian Toadflax or Giant Hogweed landed in your neighbourhood? Alex Van Tol can help. In Aliens Among Us, she identifies more than 50 species of animals and plants that have invaded British Columbia. With the help of colour photographs and illustrations, she exposes the invaders, explains how they got here and what they're doing to the environment.
In this first-ever children's book published by the Royal BC Museum, Van Tol has harvested the knowledge of museum biologists to alert the next generation of responsible environmentalists. Her list of serious invaders includes the colourfully named Purple Loosestrife, Violet Tunicate, Eastern Grey Squirrel and Yellow Perch, species that tend to take over an area and crowd out or destroy native species. She names the creatures that can eat their way through an ecosystem, like Smallmouth Bass, Gypsy Moths and American Bullfrogs, as well as vandals like Norway Rats and European Starlings that cause damage to property. And she points out the species that might do serious harm to humans and other animals, such Rockpool Mosquitoes, Giant Hogweed and Poison Hemlock. Some aliens, like European Wall Lizards and Giant Garden Slugs, haven't yet posed problems in BC, at least not that we're aware of – but they still need to be watched. And finally, Van Tol raises the alert on species that haven't yet arrived but may be coming soon, like Northern Snakeheads, Fence Lizards and Zebra Mussels. This readable and alarmingly informative book will help young people prepare for the invasion, and arm them with the tools to stop the spread of unwanted aliens in British Columbia.
"Chapters include examples within every class of animal and a selection of herbaceous and woody plants found in BC. One chapter discusses three animals (e.g. zebra mussel) not yet in the province, but likely to appear soon. Another chapter looks at native species (e.g. northern raccoon) that can dominate enough to upset ecology. Finally, the author offers a few examples of aliens that have become so familiar (e.g. cattle) that we forget they are not native here. An important feature is the section "You Can Help" which outlines ways to stop the spread of aliens and urges the reporting of sightings. There's a Glossary of terms, several pages of scientific names and a useful list of sources, both print and web. The book is packed with concise, intriguing details gathered by the BC author, a former teacher who loves to research. It is published by the Royal BC Museum which attests to its relevancy and accuracy." - CM Magazine, 2016

How a single tree, and the logger who saved it, have changed the way we see British Columbia's old-growth forests
On a cool morning in the winter of 2011, a logger named Dennis Cronin was walking through a stand of old-growth forest near Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island. His job was to survey the land and flag the boundaries for clear-cutting. As he made his way through the forest, Cronin came across a massive Douglas fir the height of a twenty-storey building. It was one of the largest trees in Canada that if felled and milled could easily fetch more than fifty thousand dollars. Instead of moving on, he reached into his vest pocket for a flagging he rarely used, tore off a strip, and wrapped it around the base of the trunk. Along the length of the ribbon were the words "Leave Tree."
When the fallers arrived, every wiry cedar, every droopy-topped hemlock, every great fir was cut down and hauled away — all except one. The solitary tree stood quietly in the clear cut until activist and photographer T. J. Watt stumbled upon the Douglas fir while searching for big trees for the Ancient Forest Alliance, an environmental organization fighting to protect British Columbia's dwindling old-growth forests. The single Douglas fir exemplified their cause: the grandeur of these trees juxtaposed with their plight. They gave it a name: Big Lonely Doug. The tree would also eventually, and controversially, be turned into the poster child of the Tall Tree Capital of Canada, attracting thousands of tourists every year and garnering the attention of artists, businesses, and organizations who saw new values encased within its bark.
Originally featured as a long-form article in The Walrus that garnered a National Magazine Award (Silver), Big Lonely Doug weaves the ecology of old-growth forests, the legend of the West Coast's big trees, the turbulence of the logging industry, the fight for preservation, the contention surrounding ecotourism, First Nations land and resource rights, and the fraught future of these ancient forests around the story of a logger who saved one of Canada's last great trees.
"Having spent time, personally, with Big Lonely Doug, and wandering through the last of our ancient forests in British Columbia, it's never been more clear to me how imperative it is for us as humans to recognize the magnificence of these ancient trees and forests and do everything that we can to preserve them. With less than 1 percent of the original old-growth Douglas-fir stands left on B.C.'s coast, it's time for Canadians to embrace Big Lonely Doug and his fellow survivors, and keep them standing tall. Harley Rustad's story brings both the majesty and adversity of Big Lonely Doug a little closer to home." — Edward Burtynsky
"You can see the forest for the trees, at least when the trees in question are singular giants like Big Lonely Doug, and the writer deftly directing your gaze is Harley Rustad. This sweeping yet meticulous narrative reveals the complex human longings tangled up in B.C.'s vanishing old-growth forests — cathedrals or commodities, depending on who you ask, and the future hinges on our answer." — Kate Harris, author of Lands of Lost Borders
"An affecting story of one magnificent survivor tree set against a much larger narrative — the old conflict between logging and the environmental movement, global economics, and the fight to preserve the planet's most endangered ecosystems. If you love trees and forests, this book is for you." — Charlotte Gill, author of Eating Dirt

Imagine a world without bees. Not only would it be less colorful - with fewer wildflowers and flowering plants - it would be less fruitful as well. A world without bees would mean a world where the food supply would be significantly diminished. Global bee researcher Laurence Packer estimates that bees are responsible for 1/3 of our food supply.
Buzz About Bees offers an in-depth look at an endangered and vital part of the natural world. Accompanying information about the history, social structure and science behind the world of bees and honey are conservation activities to make the world a place where hives of bees can thrive.
"Buzz About Bees is a great overview of all things apiarian. Pick up this book and it engages you with a true/false quiz about what you and your students may or may not know about bees. […] If you can navigate the BEE-wildering array of apiarian puns, this is a great introduction to all things bees." — NSTA
"With punny titles such as 'UnBEE-lievable Body Parts' and 'Let Me BEE: I'm BUZZ-y Working', Buzz About Bees takes an upbeat, yet serious, approach to its topic... Absorbing, cheerful, and easy to read." Recommended. — CM Magazine

Change the story and change the future – merging science and Indigenous knowledge to steer us towards a more benign Anthropocene
As humanity marches on, causing mass extinctions and destabilizing the climate, the future of Earth will very much reflect the stories that Homo sapiens decides to jettison or accept today into our collective identity. At this pivotal moment in history, the most important story we can be telling ourselves is that humans are not inherently destructive.
In Changing Tides, Alejandro Frid tackles the big questions: who, or what, represents our essential selves, and what stories might allow us to shift the collective psyche of industrial civilization in time to avert the worst of the climate and biodiversity crises?
In seeking the answers, Frid draws from a deep well of personal experience and that of Indigenous colleagues, finding a glimmer of hope in Indigenous cultures that, despite the ravishes of colonialism, have for thousands of years developed intentional and socially complex practices for resource management that epitomize sustainability. Ultimately, Frid argues, merging scientific perspectives with Indigenous knowledge might just help us change the story we tell ourselves about who we are and where we could go.
Changing Tides is for everyone concerned with the irrevocable changes we have unleashed upon our planet and how we might steer towards a more benign Anthropocene.

What can we do, right now, in our own landscapes, to help solve climate change?
Predictions about future effects of climate change range from mild to dire - but we're already seeing warmer winters, hotter summers, and more extreme storms. Proposed solutions often seem expensive and complex, and can leave us as individuals at a loss, wondering what, if anything, can be done.
Sue Reed and Ginny Stibolt offer a rallying cry in response - instead of wringing our hands, let's roll up our sleeves. Based on decades of experience, this book is packed with simple, practical steps anyone can take to beautify any landscape or garden, while helping protect the planet and the species that call it home. Topics include:
- Working actively to shrink our carbon footprint through mindful landscaping and gardening
- Creating cleaner air and water
- Increasing physical comfort during hotter seasons
- Supporting birds, butterflies, pollinators, and other wildlife.
This book is the ideal tool for homeowners, gardeners, and landscape professionals who want to be part of the solution to climate change.
"Sue Reed and Ginny Stibolt bring complementary backgrounds to bear on the subject of how we can adapt our landscapes to a changing climate. Starting from the premise that the impacts of climate change will only become more severe in the future, the authors have created a comprehensive book that outlines dozens of actions that people can take to adjust to evolving climate regimes. In the process, they articulate a new gardening aesthetic for people who work with small garden plots, farms and woodlots. The result is a positive and hopeful story of how people can use their imagination and ingenuity to help craft more resilient landscapes." -Dr. Peter Robinson, former CEO, David Suzuki Foundation
"Climate-Wise Landscaping is a comprehensive, yet easy to read, source of information on climate-change adaptation and mitigation actions for the homeowner, gardener, and landscape professional. Beautiful photos and pleasing graphics illustrate key ideas and actions while informative sidebars and inspiring quotes from climate and landscape experts provide clarity of complex systems and motivation to adapt to a changing future. The text provides an engaging blend of broad ideas along with specific actions we can take to adapt to climate-change at the level of our home landscapes, whether a small garden plot within an urban area or twenty acres in the countryside." -Julie Richburg, Ph.D., Ecologist
"Given the lateness of the hour, a book on climate-wise landscaping could not be more timely or more necessary. We are moving into a new and critical era, and this book takes landscape professionals and home gardeners where they need to go. The facts, well-presented and practical, will be an eye-opener for many people, and empower us as horticulturists of all stripes to do what is both helpful and imperative. Landscaping has always been more than just exterior decorating, and now we have one more tool in our kit to make the landscape ecosystem a part of the solution. Thank you, Sue and Ginny, for hitting a home run." -Owen Dell RLA, ASLA, landscape architect, educator, author, Owen Dell & Associates
"Gardening is not always as green and good for the planet as we might think. Sue Reed and Ginny Stibolt open our eyes to surprisingly common, unsustainable landscaping practices and inspire us to rethink how we create and care for land. This fantastic resource is filled with climate-wise solutions for anyone who owns or manages a piece of ground – even if it's just a few containers on a tiny rooftop garden. You will quickly learn about exiting ways to offset some of the effects we people have on the planet. The book is easy to navigate and it passionately links better gardening practices with better life quality and a brighter future for our planet." -Claudia West ASLA, Principal, PHYTO STUDIO LLC

Since the 1970s, the Site C Dam in northeastern British Columbia's Peace River Valley has been touted by B.C. Hydro and successive governments as necessary to meet the province's increasing energy needs. With its enormous $10 billion price tag, the dam would be the largest public works project in BC history. It would be the third dam on the Peace River, and destroy traditional unceded territory belonging to Treaty 8 First Nations.
Following the last provincial election, the newly appointed NDP government called for a review of the project, but work on the dam continues. This comes after protests by aboriginal groups and landowners, several lawsuits against the government, and federal government intervention to let the dam go ahead. More recently, there has been a call from a United Nations panel to review how the dam will affect Indigenous land.
This book presents the independent voices of citizen experts describing every important impact of the dam, including:
- Sustainable energy expert Guy Dauncey on future energy demand, and whether there is likely to be a need for the dam's electricity
- An interview with aboriginal activist Helen Knott on the dam's assault on traditional lands and culture, in particular Indigenous women
- Agrologist Wendy Holm on the farm land impact — prime horticulture land important to food security and nutrition
- Family physician Warren Bell on the effect that loss of traditional way of life and connection to the land has had on the health of aboriginal people
- Wildlife biologist Brian Churchill with forty years' experience of studying its land and wildlife
- Former environmental minister Joan Sawicki on government cover-ups and smoking guns
- Energy industry watchdog Andrew Nikiforuk on the links between dams, fracking and earthquakes
- Award-winning broadcaster Rafe Mair on how party politics corrupts political leadership, and the role of activism and civil disobedience in shaping government decision-making
- David Schindler, one of the world's foremost water ecologists, explains the role dams like Site C will play in Canada's climate change strategy
- Joyce Nelson connects the dots between the Site C dam and continental water sharing plans
"Wendy Holm brings another perspective to the case against Site C, that of the production of crops." — Nelson Star, January 2018
"A massive, $10 billion hydroelectric dam project on British Columbia's Peace River could threaten the First Nations peoples who live nearby. This volume dives deep into the potential impacts and decades of governmental cover-ups related to this long-planned project."— John R. Platt, The Revelator, April 2018
"This book provides an organized and rigorous "how to" guide on the intellectual and fact-based opposition to Site C, and in doing this becomes a great model for a book on any long-term protest. Its ambition is to inform on the subject from every possible angle, keeping the Peace River, the region and its people in mind, rather than the expediency of the business and government angle, which is usually given at least equal weight by the mainstream media." — Cathryn Atkinson, Rabble, June 2018
"There is an "elephant in the room" — not the huge white elephant that you see at No-Site C rallies. This elephant is dark and invisible. The government does not talk about it ... No. This elephant is rather more sinister. Wendy Holm confronts it and exposes it. It's about exporting water."— John Gellard, The Ormsby Review, August 2018
"Damming the Peace is an accessible, thoughtful and informative collection of essays that reveal the grave environmental, human and economic costs if the Site C dam is built."— Tim Pelzer, People's Voice, October 2018

downstream: reimagining water brings together artists, writers, scientists, scholars, environmentalists, and activists who understand that our shared human need for clean water is crucial to building peace and good relationships with one another and the planet. This book explores the key roles that culture, arts, and the humanities play in supporting healthy water-based ecology and provides local, global, and Indigenous perspectives on water that help to guide our societies in a time of global warming. The contributions range from practical to visionary, and each of the four sections closes with a poem to encourage personal freedom along with collective care.
This book contributes to the formation of an intergenerational, culturally inclusive, participatory water ethic. Such an ethic arises from intellectual courage, spiritual responsibilities, practical knowledge, and deep appreciation for human dependence on water for a meaningful quality of life. downstream illuminates how water teaches us interdependence with other humans and living creatures, both near and far.
"Downstream stakes out a bold and creative claim to collaborative and cross-cultural eco-spiritual-neo-traditional knowing and, with it, new approaches to policy and action. A timely read that lends depth and resonance to some of the material and voices [in other books on the subject]." — Heather Menzies, Literary Review of Canada, June 2017
"This rich collection brings together the work of artists, writers, scientists, scholars, environmentalists, and activists, all focusing on the looming global water crisis. ... Writing styles vary from piece to piece throughout the book—poetic, personal, journalistic, and academic—but the shifts between each are well worth navigating for any reader interested in human futures on Earth."— Publishers Weekly, August 2017
"This collection of works successfully expands our knowledge of and experience with water by merging natural science, social science, arts, and humanities approaches to water. It offers new, innovative, and engaging ways to think about and experience water, especially as it relates to life and vitality."— Sara Beth Keough, American Review of Canadian Studies, November -0001

Environmental Activism on the Ground draws upon a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarship to examine small scale, local environmental activism, paying particular attention to Indigenous experiences. It illuminates the questions that are central to the ongoing evolution of the environmental movement while reappraising the history and character of late twentieth and early twenty-first environmentalism in Canada, the United States, and beyond.
This collection considers the different ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists have worked to achieve significant change. It examines attempts to resist exploitative and damaging resource developments, and the establishment of parks, heritage sites, and protected areas that recognize the indivisibility of cultural and natural resources. It pays special attention to the thriving environmentalism of the 1960s through the 1980s, an era which saw the rise of major organizations such as Greenpeace along with the flourishing of local and community-based environmental activism.
Environmental Activism on the Ground emphasizes the effects of local and Indigenous activism, offering lessons and directions from the ground up. It demonstrates that the modern environmental movement has been as much a small-scale, ordinary activity as a large-scale, elite one.
"Environmental Activism on the Ground succeeds splendidly in complicating and enriching our understanding of modern environmentalism. Focusing on Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists in an impressive range of settings, Jonathan Clapperton and Liza Piper draw together and interpret diverse methodological and conceptual insights in a way that gives new, deserved prominence to those who have strived—and continue to strive—for environmental justice at the local level. These accounts left me both enlightened and heartened. Scholars from across the humanities and social sciences will welcome this volume." - Richard A. Rajala, Department of History, University of Victoria.

What happens when a peregrine falcon chooses to lay its eggs high atop a Chicago condominium balcony? Here is the story of a family of wild birds that moves into a cramped urban home and decides to settle in among towers filled with people and noise. The birds' new human neighbours are quick to try and evict, but it turns out that the falcons have rights too and the law is on their side.
This amusing true-life story looks at the issues related to urban wildlife and how urban dwellers co-exist with an ever-increasing wildlife population that finds ingenious -- and sometimes devious -- ways to move into our homes and cities, often without notice.
Illustrated with photographs documenting the early life of a peregrine falcon family that grows from eggs to full-fledged birds in the flower box of a curious apartment-dweller, this book also explores the natural history of this majestic bird species.
"This is the story of a peregrine falcon family that moves into a cramped urban home amongst towers teeming with people.

Groundswell is a collection of stirring and passionate essays from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers that, together, present a compelling message about how traditional Indigenous knowledge and practices can and must be used to address climate change. The chapters eloquently interconnect, taking us from radical thinking to the gentleness of breath, demonstrating that we are all in this together, that we must understand what needs to be accomplished and participate in the care of Mother Earth.
Authors tap into religious and spiritual perspectives, explore the wisdom of youth, and share the insights of a nature-based philosophy. These collective writings give you a chance to contemplate and formulate your own direction. A moral revolution that can produce a groundswell of momentum toward a diverse society based on human rights, Indigenous rights, and the rights of Mother Earth.
Beautifully illustrated with photographs, Groundswell is augmented with video recordings from the authors and a short documentary film, available on the project's website. Profits from the book will help support the videos, documentary, and future projects of The Call to Action for Climate Change. Visit www.envisionthebigpicture.com.
"A beautifully illustrated and highly engaging read is Groundswell: Indigenous Knowledge and a Call to Action for Climate Change, edited by Joe Neidhardt and Nicole Neidhardt. Essays from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors present a strong vision for how traditional knowledge can be used to fight climate change, as well as how we can work together toward a more balanced and harmonious relationship with nature." - Joan Elliott, Librarian/Manager, Stewart Resources Centre
"The most important environmental development of the last decade is the full emergence and full recognition of the Native leadership at the very front of every fight. One of the things that makes that leadership so powerful is its deep roots in tradition and thought; this book gives the reader some sense of that tradition, though of course it is so vast that it would take a thousand such books to capture it all!"— Bill McKibben; Author Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
"This book shares Indigenous knowledge that can teach us to listen to and be in relationship to the Earth in a way that honors the sacredness and interdependence of all life forms. A paradigm shift, informed by Indigenous ways of knowing and acting, is crucial in this time of climate change."— Laura Stivers; Author of Disrupting Homelessness: Alternative Christian Approaches
"Groundswell: Indigenous Knowledge and a Call to Action for Climate Change... is a powerful text that introduces a much-needed perspective on the issue of climate change. Much has been said and written on the topic of climate change from a purely logical perspective, which is essential, but Groundswell introduces an equally important perspective, that of the spiritual implications of climate change. From the perspective of Native people, we start to unravel the complex emotions when learning of the negative effects of climate change through an entirely different lens than the lens supplied to us through westernized education. There is an aspect of spiritual connection that Native people have when approaching the topic of climate change and the destructive and corrosive actions taken against our Earth. I hate to use the phrase "spiritual connection," because spirituality has been wrongly stripped down to a non-science, when in reality, it is something that just cannot be defined by science. One's spirit is only one way of saying, one's being, essence, one's present energy, or one's connection to all that is, beyond thought and logic. It is the core of us all, and it is a feeling that connects us all, and in my opinion, uniquely respected and understood by Native people. This is one reason I believe Native people feel an obligation to protect this Earth, because we hold this truth close culturally. We and everything are one, and the destruction of our planet is also the destruction of ourselves. When reading the chapter "Rooted: Staying Grounded Amidst a Changing Landscape" by Nicole Neidhardt, Teka Everstz, and Gina Mowatt, I was moved by the presence of youth voices. As a young, Indigenous person myself I felt a great power, understanding, and nuance to the voices emerging in the chapter. The writers spoke of the complexities and the duality of living as an Indigenous person in western society that I have myself experienced. They also addressed the modern paradox of social media, in that in as many ways as it is bringing people together, in many ways it is tearing us apart and allowing for non-accountability in our society. It is rare to find a text that so genuinely sums up the issues of living as an Indigenous youth in western culture and our struggle of being heard when voicing our truths. I believe that this text, in the hands of other young people like the writers will be moved by it like I was. Nicole Neidhardt, Teka Everstz, and Gina Mowatt asked for more than a challenge of the reader's ideology, they screamed out for a call to action." — Forrest Goodluck; Award-winning youth filmmaker, appears opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant
"Reading the reflections of three young Indigenous activists (Rooted: Staying Grounded Amidst a Changing Landscape) is special and something I've admittedly never experienced before. What I thought about while reading this was my own decades' long growing pains, not just in body, but rather identity. My own insecurities has led me down dark walkways toward depression and anxiety. For years—and still to this day—I am petrified of the inescapable uncertainty the universe's laws present me. I had zero doubts about three Cosmic proclamations: death, taxes and thermodynamics. Their stories are a sharp, buoyant reminder of elation and advocacy in a world of overwhelming and seemingly unlimited power: colonialism, imperialism and industrial capitalism. These narratives bring me moral conviction and faith as we all walk hand-in-hand into our carbon wrought future." — Kalen Goodluck; A freelance documentary photographer, photojournalist, and journalist
"Groundswell is about helping one another through the threat of death we experience on this increasingly traumatized planet—in the air, on the land and in the water—and nurturing it back to life. Neidhardt and his kindred spirits offer us new, yet familiar, resources for a creative participation in that gracious process. "New" for us who are not yet listening attentively to Indigenous instructions voiced in their "Older Testament." "Familiar" insofar as we are given to see, truly see, our relatedness and belonging to all things, great and small, in this created world, our "common home" (Pope Francis). One message powerfully conveyed throughout this book is that planetary health is primary, whereas human well-being is derivative (Thomas Berry). This message turns the infamous "Doctrine of Discovery" upside down, inviting us, all of us together, into fresh discoveries of healing wisdom in ancient treasures still alive and well for us. Again, "together": "A little trickle of water that goes alone goes crookedly" (Gbaya proverb). Together we may pray for vibrant faith and spiritual rootedness to yield justice: equilibrium throughout creation and among all people. Such faith is indeed a "renewable energy" (Larry Rasmussen)!" — Thomas G. Christensen; Author of An African Tree of Life

A stunning new voice in nature writing makes an epic journey along the Yukon River to give us the stories of its people and its protagonist--the king salmon, or the Chinook--and the deepening threat to a singular way of life, in a lyrical, evocative and captivating narrative.
The Yukon River is 3,190 kilometres long, flowing northwest from British Columbia through the Yukon Territory and Alaska to the Bering Sea. Every summer, millions of salmon migrate the distance of this river to their spawning ground, where they go to breed and then die. The Chinook is the most highly prized among the five species of Pacific salmon for its large size and rich, healthy oils. It has long since formed the lifeblood of the economy and culture along the Yukon--there are few communities that have been so reliant on a single source. Now, as the region contends with the effects of a globalized economy, climate change, fishing quotas and the general drift towards urban life, the health and numbers of the Chinook are in question, as is the fate of the communities that depend on them.
Travelling in a canoe along the Yukon River with the migrating salmon, a three-month journey through untrammeled wilderness, Adam Weymouth traces the profound interconnectedness of the people and the Chinook through searing portraits of the individuals he encounters. He offers a powerful, nuanced glimpse into the erosion of indigenous culture, and into our ever-complicated relationship with the natural world. Weaving in the history of the salmon run and their mysterious life cycle, Kings of the Yukon is extraordinary adventure and nature writing and social history at its most compelling.

"Travel writing? Climate change? Here's a book that does it all . . . He writes like Annie Dillard, Bruce Chatwin and Jack London combined: suspenseful and sensitive storytelling and sumptuous descriptions." —National Observer
"Shift over, Pierre Berton and Farley Mowat. You, too, Robert Service. Set another place at the table for Adam Weymouth, who writes as powerfully and poetically about the Far North as any of the greats who went before him." —Roy MacGregor, author of Original Highways: Travelling the Great Rivers of Canada
"A moving, masterful portrait of a river, the people who live on its banks, and the salmon that connect their lives to the land. It is at once travelogue, natural history, and a meditation on the sort of wildness of which we are intrinsically a part. Adam Weymouth deftly illuminates the symbiosis between humans and the natural world—a relationship so ancient, complex, and mysterious that it just might save us." —Kate Harris, author of Lands of Lost Borders: Out of Bounds on the Silk Road
"I thoroughly enjoyed traveling the length of the Yukon River with Adam Weymouth, discovering the essential connection between the salmon and the people who rely upon them. What a joy it is to be immersed in such a remote and wondrous landscape, and what a pleasure to be in the hands of such a gifted narrator." —Nate Blakeslee, author of The Wolf: A True Story of Survival and Obsession in the West
"Beautiful, restrained, uncompromising. The narrative pulls you eagerly downstream roaring, chuckling and shimmering just like the mighty Yukon itself." —Ben Rawlence, author of City of Thorns
"An enthralling account of a literary and scientific quest. Adam Weymouth vividly conveys the raw grandeur and deep silences of the Yukon landscape, and endows his subject, the river's King Salmon, with a melancholy nobility." —Luke Jennings, author of Atlantic and Codename Villanelle
"Adam Weymouth's account of his canoe trip down the Yukon River is both stirring and heartbreaking. He ably describes a world that seems alternately untouched by human beings and teetering at the brink of ruin." —David Owen, author of Where the Water Goes

About this Research Topic
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines stroke as "the rapid development of clinical signs and symptoms of a focal neurological disturbance lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than vascular origin". Worldwide, 15 million people suffer a stroke every year, and stroke is the second leading cause of disability after dementia (http://www.who.int/topics/cerebrovascular_accident/en/). Neuroplasticity is involved in post-stroke functional disturbances, but also in rehabilitation. Therefore, in addition to facilitating beneficial neuroplasticity, it is necessary to reduce maladaptive plasticity, which compromises re-gain of function via implementation of sub-optimal compensatory strategies. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) - an intervention at the central nervous system level - might be a promising tool in facilitating motor learning in the context of rehabilitation. It has been shown that beneficial neuroplastic changes may be facilitated with NIBS such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) which results in improved motor functions. The key principles underlying the effects of tDCS on motor learning and control are, (1) neuronal firing rates are increased by anodal polarization and decreased by cathodal polarization, (2) anodal polarization strengthens newly formed associations, and (3) polarization modulates the memory of new/preferred firing patterns.
Therefore, it is important that functionally beneficial associations are formed during neurorehabilitation based on residual motor function such that they can be strengthened and consolidated using NIBS. If we can identify intact and/or viable alternative motor pathways based on neuroimaging then it may be possible using computational modeling to appropriately focus NIBS. Here, it was recently proposed that over-reliance on the interhemispheric competition and vicariation models of recovery for designing NIBS protocols led to failures since they do not apply to all patients with stroke.
Therefore, in this Frontiers Research Topic, we wish to highlight neuroimaging and computational modeling approaches to develop post-stroke patient-specific NIBS protocols that are in various stages of bench-to-beside translation. Specifically, the neuroimaging and computational modeling approaches can link interhemispheric balancing and functional recovery to the structural reserve spared by the lesion. We aim to produce a series of important and high caliber publications useful to both researchers and clinicians alike. In doing so, this compilation will hopefully lead to further research on novel and innovative approaches to tailor NIBS to the needs of individual patients based on neuroimaging and computational modeling.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.

In the first three months of 2011, Rhode Island had one of the highest rates of new foreclosure starts in the country.
In the first three months of 2011, Rhode Island had one of the
highest rates of new foreclosure starts in the country.
But during the same period, its percentage of troubled loans
fell, according to new statistics from the Mortgage Bankers
The association released the first-quarter results of its
National Delinquency Survey Thursday.
Rhode Island had 1.43 percent of its mortgage loans go into
foreclosure in the first quarter, which placed the state in the top
five for new foreclosure starts. An expert said Rhode Island's high
unemployment is to blame. Rhode Island has had a double-digit
unemployment rate for 25 straight months; the rate dropped to 11
percent for March.
"There is a correlation between unemployment and foreclosure,"
said Nicolas P. Retsinas, director emeritus of Harvard University's
Joint Center for Housing Studies and a member of the real-estate
faculty at Harvard Business School.
"The people who lost their jobs yesterday are losing their
houses today," he said.
"The real-estate market depends almost entirely on how many
paychecks have been created," said Jay Brinkmann, chief economist
for the bankers' association.
In Rhode Island, 8.26 percent of mortgages were past due in the
first quarter of 2011, compared with 10.48 percent a year ago, and
9.48 percent in the last quarter of 2010.
Richard Godfrey, executive director of Rhode Island Housing,
said the latest numbers show that "the situation is not getting
Foreclosures in Rhode Island were primarily caused by predatory
lending and unemployment, Godfrey said. And while there has been
"no dramatic improvement" in the jobs situation, he said, there are
signs that "things are leveling off."
But "it's much too early to bring out the balloons" to declare
that the foreclosure crisis is over, said Retsinas. "We're still
mired in the foreclosure-mess fiasco."
The percentage of Rhode Island mortgage loans that were at least
90 days past due or in the foreclosure process was 8.45 percent,
above the national average of 8.10 percent and New England's rate
of 7.06 percent.
But that rate of 8.45 percent for the first quarter of 2011 is
down slightly from the fourth quarter of 2010, 8.52 percent, and
down from the 9.23-percent rate reported in the first quarter of
Nationally, statistics show that foreclosure starts are the
lowest level since the end of 2008, and the percentage of loans
somewhere in the foreclosure process is down from last year's
record high.
These are "signs of a mortgage market that is on the mend,"
Brinkmann said.
But in Rhode Island, the number of foreclosures has increased,
not decreased.
In the first quarter of 2011, 4.53 percent of Rhode Island's
mortgage loans were in foreclosure, compared with 4.2 percent last
quarter, and 3.6 percent a year ago.

This rice-stuffed roasted baby chicken is hearty, earthy, and highly satisfying.
If you want it to be festive, it can certainly be that too!
There are quite a few spices utilized for the basting and for the rice stuffing, but the star is the paprika.
There is enough rice in the cavity of the chicken as is, but a little extra rice for the bed nestling the chicken is always welcome :)
I used some chickpea rice pilaf for the chicken bed.
For the chicken:
2x900g chicken
8 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp paprika
1/2 lemon, juice
For the rice stuffing:
1 cup rice
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp chili
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
Mix the 2 tsp paprika with the crushed garlic and the lemon juice.
Rub this mixture all over and in the raw chicken in a rimmed baking dish; set aside.
To make the rice, rinse the rice and drain; set aside.
Saute the onion a 2 tablespoons of oil until wilted.
Add all the remaining spices and seasonings.
Saute until fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed rice, add a cup of boiled water, cover and leave over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat, uncover, and let cool.
The rice at this point is not fully cooked, but will continue to cook in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Stuff the chicken's cavities with the cooked rice mixture.
I even stuffed some rice under the chicken breast skin, but this is optional.
Cover the baking dish with parchment-lined foil and bake for 1 hour.
Uncover and bake for 20 to 30 minutes more until the skin is a golden brown.
Let rest 10 minutes out of the oven before carving.
صحة و عافية

Nobile Snowkite: Ragnarok 2017 – Battle to remember!
Out of seven editions of Red Bull Ragnarok, 2017 really turned out to be a battle to remember. Contestants had to complete five laps in five hours, meaning the total distance was 130 kilometers - the longest course in the history of the event. Luckily the weather gods kept that in mind for the day, providing what the veterans describes as the best wind conditions ever, reaching almost 44 knots. Congratulations to all Nobile Team riders: 6th - Fly Fisch (AUT), 8th - Martins Sprogis (LAT), 11th - Artem Garashchenko (RUS) and unlucky Christian Labbe who broke bar and walk 6km for another one to finish the race. Christian Labbe you are our hero! BIG KISSES to Aija Ambrasa who wins in WMN/Snowboard on Nobile board!

Specialists can help guide you through this difficult time.
Drug Rehab Center Albany
Fear and apprehension are often the biggest obstacles to addiction recovery, which typically is a long and difficult endeavor that will more than likely require supervised professional assistance. Obtaining the proper support and guidance, you can conquer your addiction.
At Drug Rehabilitation Center Albany we have a full spectrum of addiction treatment programs to clients that arrive at our rehab center struggling with addiction problems. Most people that become addicted to substances like vicodin, percocet, lortab, meth and other drugs that bring about addiction usually don't know how to stop on their own. We have helped countless individuals to conquer their addiction with our comprehensive rehabilitation protocols.
The first step of our program is our detox process. After an individual has abused drugs regularly for a period of time a physical dependence occurs and takes over. Once dependence or addiction has developed it is often unsafe to abruptly quit without professional assistance from a medical detox process. Habit-forming drugs such as alcohol, valium, heroin, meth, crack, demerol, vicodin and many others produce a wide range of withdrawal effects such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, nausea and more.
At Drug Rehab Program Albany we offer the often necessary medical services and support to help out clients be as comfortable as possible in the withdrawal process. We offer 24 hour care throughout this critical first phase in the recovery process. Our clients often state that they feel a renewed sense of hope when they have completed our detoxification phase of the program.
An essential aspect of beating addiction is to recognize that you have a problem. An individual who refuses to accept they are addicted cannot take strides to fix the problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes to confronting their addiction situation, along with that requires also to look at why and how they got addicted in the first place. Addiction typically occurs when a person starts taking the drug or alcohol to self-medicate in order to handle negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If a person doesn't recognize the source issues connected to their addiction and does not accept help, it will typically be harder for them to overcome their addiction.
Acknowledging that you have a problem is an extremely critical first step of recovery from alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you must also have the desire to put forth the effort to change it. Taking inventory of the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to rehabilitation. Many say it helps to make a list the reasons why they want to put an end to their addiction. Reasons could include wanting to be a better parent, experience more joy in life, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair relationships with family and friends, to improve your health, or to simply repair the damage caused by your addiction.
Do not just concentrate and be absorbed on the problems as a result of your addiction, as focusing in on the negative consequences of the past can make one feel hopeless. Rather, embrace your future and recovery. Focus on the positive things that will surely happen when you have conquered your addiction. At Drug Rehab Program Albany we will guide you to embrace your new opportunities for a happy, productive, addiction-free life. A future accomplishing long lost dreams and goals in your newly created drug-free life. You will be healthier, have more energy, have greater success financially, have stable relationships, be more productive at work, and have time to have fun and explore new hobbies and recreation. Taking the time to list out these goals can keep you excited and motivated during the rehab process.
Long Term Treatment goals
At Drug Rehab Program Albany we know that the most important factor in determining success is whether the client has completely overcome their addiction to drugs. Success can only be measured by the patient's confidence in their ability to remain sober. Short term rehab protocols generally fall short of this goal.
We know that it is extremely important not to be under time restraints when in rehab. The time that you stay in treatment can create a lifetime of sobriety, it is definitely worth the investment of whatever time that it requires. We find the real reasons that will be at the root of the addiction. We will help you to repair the problems that you have created in your life so that you are not filled with shame and regret. You will learn life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention techniques so that you are not just sober when you leave, but know how to stay sober for a lifetime. We know that you want a drug free life and we are here to help you find a way to achieve it.
Relapse Prevention
Although the only person who can change you is you. At Drug Rehab Center Albany it is extremely helpful to be immersed in a strong support network to help you succeed. That said, hold onto the people in your life that are supportive and positive. Conversely, be cautious about retaining the unhealthy people in your life, like past associates that continue to use drugs, or relationships with people that make you feel inadequate.
Detoxification is only the initial step in a long process of recovery at Drug Rehab Center Albany; But will also help you to recognize the the things that trigger your addiction urges. Stress, anxiety, fear, lacking confidence etc. are all triggers for addiction. Practicing healthy relapse prevention skills will help you to combat and overcome the cravings and urges to use drugs. Our facility activities include exercise, nutrition, drug education, cognitive education therapy, life skills, coping skills, craving and relapse prevention training.

If you are going to be moving from one country to another in the near future, you might feel a little daunted at how much you have to. From finding a company that will ship your belongings to sorting out your migration details, the tasks may seem hefty and endless. For this reason, below is a list of useful tips and advice that will help make your moving process successful.
Book a company to transport your personal belongingsIf you are migrating, you will need reliable international movers in Philippines to help you take your belongings. There are many companies that can be found online that offer this service; it would be wise to get quotations from a number of businesses, so you can pick which best suits your budget. After you choose your company, plan the transportation process as soon as possible. Give your chosen company one months' notice and plan to have this organization send an employee to your home to evaluate your belongings and plan the transportation. Additionally, stay in contact with this employee, so you can get information about the customs regulations of the country you are migrating to.
Do not hoardIt is absolutely vital that you have a de-cluttering system. You need to consider which household items and personal belongings you really need to take with you. Many people tend to hoard and keep a multitude of items they don't really need. Take a few days and de-clutter your home. The main reason for this is that global moving is very expensive. The fewer items you have, the less costly the process will be.
Visa and documentationThis is one of the most important tips. Place an appointment with an immigration officer of the country you are going to, and familiarize yourself with the migration system. Ensure that you understand the immigration requirements and laws, so you don't fall in to a tough spot at any time. Be sure that you have all the necessary documentation and that it is all up to date and valid. Have them readily available, especially on the day you leave.
Be informedThe last tip is to research. While this tip applies to all the above topics as well, it is essential that you research on the country you are going to. This means gathering information on their healthcare, insurance, financial policies, and what the area you are going to live in is like.
If you follow these crucial tips, you will be well prepared for your migration process. Do not stress about any important steps; keep calm and go about all your tasks in an orderly manner. If you are well informed and prepared, the process will be a breeze.

We've had it happen often. A student offers a little speech at the beginning of the class requesting that you register to vote or sign a petition to keep their club funded. More recently, students have used class time to urge their classmates to attend Board of Education meetings to protest tuition increases.
When you're approached in hallways, it's a lot easier to pass by on the pretext that you're in a hurry for class, or to mumble that you're not interested. However, in a classroom you are a captive audience, in the most literal sense of the phrase.
Last week, members of our student government stopped by some classrooms and requested that students show up to the May 14 Board of Education meeting to protest proposed tuition increases.
They didn't, however, mention that without a raise in tuition there will be cuts elsewhere on campus. Cuts that will affect students in a drastic way.
Did you know our Cottage Grove campus is in jeopardy? Did you know our Child and Family Center is in jeopardy? Did you know that without an increase in tuition, we could lose several programs vital to our school?
Regardless of what happens with tuition, there will be changes throughout programs on campus, but students shouldn't protest a raise in tuition without knowing what else is at stake.

Victor has come up with an way where you can use his debugging Web Part, which you can place on any Web Part page, and view all the trace output, all with zero-server touch! You could do this by maching a change to the web.config, but this way, you can upload Victor's Web Part which contains a class that inherits TraceListener. The trick is to inject the listener object into the System.Diagnostics.Trace.Listeners collection in the OnInit event handler.

Once you've found any two black keys you can now look to the key that is to the left of these two and you will find C.
Looking at the diagram above you will notice that there are two C's in the picture. This is because every time you find a set of two back keys together you will always find a C to the left. This is because there are multiple C's on the piano. So if you can remember to find the two black keys you will always be able to find a C.
Now that you are able to easily locate C you will be able to locate all of the white piano notes. In order to label the rest of the piano you now have to simply count up the musical alphabet until you reach C again.
Musical Alphabet
The musical alphabet is similar to the traditional alphabet with one small difference. The musical alphabet only ranges from A to G. So the musical alphabet will look like this. A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Once you get to G it starts all over again back on A. So look at the keyboard below and find C again. Now go through the musical alphabet on all the white keys to find the names of these keys. Remember, that once you get to G you must start over back on A.
Now that you can label the keys from one C to the next you can name all of the white notes on the piano. Find any C and simply count up or down the musical alphabet until you find the note you are looking for.
Being able to quickly recognize the notes and their names on the piano is crucial to becoming an accomplished piano player. Now that you know how to find the notes, take time to practice naming them. Remember, if you get confused just find the set of two black notes, find the one next to them, and you have found C. Count up the musical alphabet to name the note you are looking for. It will take time, but with practice you will be able to find and recognize notes and their location on the piano.

MK Zevulun Kalfa (Bayit Yehudi/Jewish Home) addressed the Knesset today in a special meeting called by the Opposition about the housing crisis. Kalfa is a resident of Kibbutz Shomria in southern Israel, which today is home to refugees from Gush Katif - the former Jewish communities of Gaza.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was also present - and Kalfa addressed his words primarily to him.
Referring to the bureaucracy which often prevents young couples from buying apartments, Kalfa stated, "I have a practical suggestion: many lands held by the Housing Administration are also owned by the Jewish National Fund (JNF). If we can somehow separate the two, it will create a competitive atmosphere," thus giving more people the opportunity to build much more quickly.
Kalfa lamented that the problem was a matter of missing deadlines. "The ministries are asked to push forward certain plans, but they often do not complete things on time," he said. "Sometimes they can take up to two years before confirming the next stage of a building project." He suggested that offices hold the responsibility for completing projects, and that if an office misses a deadline, "the project goes on without them."
Kalfa also called on the public to move outside of Israel's center and to inhabit other, less-populated areas: Judea and Samaria, the Negev, the Jordan Valley, the Galilee, and the Golan Heights. "The State of Israel is small," he said. "I travel here [Jerusalem] every day from the South; it doesn't take that much time. Transportation from the periphery to the center only gets better with each passing day."
"I call on everyone from every faction: there is more than enough space in the South, in the Jordan Valley, in Judea and Samaria, in the Galilee, and in the Golan Heights for you - and you will be amazed at how short the commute will be," he continued.
Addressing the PM, Kalfa said "the housing crisis isn't general; it's specific. It would be morally correct, Mr. Prime Minister, to begin solving the crisis by building homes for the refugees from Gush Katif. Even after 8 years, there are still some families who lack proper housing. I am willing to be their spokesman, to represent them. I appeal also to Housing Minister Uri Ariel, but a system-wide solution is needed here. I hope that we can also utilize the help of the Finance Minister [Yair Lapid] so that this problem can finally be solved."
Kalfa's remarks follow both announcements that the Prime Minister has canceled plans to build tens of thousands of buildings across Israel and reports of an unofficial building freeze already in effect.

Cake Baking Tips For The Household Pastry Chef
Baking delicious cakes is not as hard as you might think. All you need is a little push in the right direction, some excellent cake baking tips, and of course, the desire to have fun while making a mess of your kitchen at the same time. Baking cake should be a fun and rewarding experience.
Why? Well, the rewards come from a perfectly baked, delicious cake right from the very first bite. The fun comes from the mess you make, sure cleaning up afterwards is not so much fun, but it is sure fun making the mess,ask any kid.
In this article, we will discuss some cake baking tips that you can use to wind up with a great cake every time.
Tip #1 – Really Want a Great Cake, Stay Away From the Boxes
While cake mixes that come in a box make your job easier, it is no where near as good as one that you have made from scratch.
Instead, a really delicious cake starts with a really delicious recipe. You can find great
recipes in cookbooks,
on the internet,or even by asking a
friend or family member.
The recipe you find will more than likely result in a moister, more delicious cake than you would ever find out of the box, plus it allows you to get a little creative in terms of
flavor and design.
Tip #2 – Prepare Ahead of Time
There is absolutely nothing worse than starting to bake a cake and finding out that you do not have everything you need.
Therefore, before you even being check and double check your recipe for items that you will need. Then gather these items and have them readily available as you start to mix.
This does two things for you, first it saves you time, we all know how busy life can get and second, it helps you ensure that your cake will be complete. Please consider this as one of the most important cake baking tips because of a forgotten or left out ingredient can make your intended masterpiece turn into a mystery pie.
Tip #3 – The Ingredients Matter
When baking a cake, should you really use that flour that has been sitting in the cupboard for a year,are your
spices fresh
,is the baking soda that has been there for three years still going to be good?
Some of these things never expire; however, to really get the most out of the flavor in your cake, you want to make sure that you are using only the freshess that you possibly can.
Therefore,if you have ingridients that you rarely use and have been sitting around for a long while, it is a good idea to replace these items.

Tip #4 – Size Does Matter
Size really does matter when it comes to making a cake, the pan size that is. When a recipe calls for a certain size, you want to make sure that you use that size. The cake recipe has been designed for that specific size.
If you use a pan that is too small, you will either have batter left over or find that the cake does not bake well on the insides because of thickness. On the other hand, if you use a pan that is too large, the cake will be thinner, might burn, and you might compromise the quality.
Another little note on pans, you want to make sure that you prepare them as noted in the recipe. In other words, grease, flour, spray, or preheat the pan as asked for in the recipe. This will help in quality, keep the cake from sticking, and possibly keep it from burning.
Tip #5 – The Recipe is There For a Reason, Stick To It
Too often bakers are careless when it comes to mixing, measuring, and cooking. This alone can ruin your cake. To really get a delicious cake, if you have a great recipe to begin with, follow the directions to a "T". This means that you need measure your ingredients perfectly, with the right tools. You also need to preheat your oven and when mixing, be sure that you avoid over mixing or under mixing. A kitchen timer can help when the recipe calls for mixing for a certain period of time.
Tip #6 – The Measuring Cup You Use Makes All The Difference
Did you know that certain measuring cups are used for certain ingredients? If not, neither did I when I first started baking. But, the clear measuring cups are for liquids, while the non-clear cups are for dry ingredients.
With the above Cake Baking tips, you can be sure that your cake will come out of the oven moist, delicious, and ready to impress Betty Crocker or Sara Lee. If you have a family member or friend who could use some Cake Baking tips please feel free to send them this link

The Greenway Plaza food court will soon be home to a highly anticipated new barbecue spot, Feges BBQ. Chef/pitmaster Patrick Feges and chef/sommelier Erin Smith will open their counter-service operation in early 2018.
"Between the two of us, we've had the opportunity to work in some of the best restaurants in the country, and we definitely will bring that experience to what we do," Feges announced in a press release on Wednesday morning. "This is going to be a new way of thinking about barbecue."
The couple will join an already booming Greenway Plaza lineup including Greenway Coffee, which spawned offshoots, including Blacksmith and Morningstar, the original Rice Box, which now has a location in the Heights, and cult-following burger and shake spot burger chan. The food court has a great advantage over nearby competition because of its built-in clientele — some 13,000 people who work in the office complex — so launching the barbecue eatery here is "an opportunity too good to pass up," according to Smith.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The couple originally met while working at Underbelly in 2012. Feges also went on to work at Killen's Barbecue and as sous chef at Southern Goods, while also gaining a following for his barbecue pop-up. Smith came up through lauded New York-based restaurants Per Se and Babbo. In Houston she's worked at Plonk, Blacksmith and Main Kitchen as executive chef, and recently jumped into the sommelier game at Camerata.
Feges BBQ will serve breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, and will also launch nighttime and weekend catering once the operation gets smokin'. Expect barbecue staples such as ribs, brisket and house-made sausage, along with specialties including entrée salads, Indian-inspired yogurt-based slaw and seasonal vegetables as sides, "pig wings," beef belly burnt ends, and occasional whole hog roasts.
Breakfast options will include biscuits and gravy with brisket and barbecue breakfast tacos.
Best of all, the couple plans to keep the average meal around $12 or less.

Wireless Power Transmission Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Global Wireless Power Transmission Market: Overview
The concept of wireless power transmission or transfer dates back to the mid-18th century when Nikola Tesla, a prominent contributor to the design of alternating current (AC) power supply systems, first worked on wireless power transmission projects. Wireless power transfer allows to lose the limitation of a power cord while keeping electrical devices constantly charged. Solar cells, resonance, and microwaves are the three principal systems employed for wireless power transmission. This concept is expected to resolve the complicated energy crisis concerning the entire world to this day.
Global Wireless Power Transmission Market: Key Trends
The global wireless power transmission market is expected to rise at a sturdy CAGR between 2017 and 2025 on account of certain factors propelling the growth. The requirement of effectual charging systems and surging consumer preference for wireless connectivity and the convenience offered are prognosticated to raise the hopes of vendors operating in the global wireless power transmission market. In the years to come, the global wireless power transmission market could witness the rise of the magnetic resonance technology making way into the introductory phase and inductive technology into the growth phase.
Smartphone giant Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. headquartered in South Korea possesses a powerful line of smartphones that flaunt the capabilities of a wireless charging receiver. Some of the popular smartphone series other than Samsung Galaxy that carry wireless charging capabilities are Google Nexus and Motorola Droid. The adoption in a range of smartphones in the inductive wireless power transmission market is predicted to hoist smartphones as a larger receiver application.
Lack of common standards raising compatibility issues and trade-offs between safety, efficiency, and range of wireless power transmission is prophesied to injure the growth of the global wireless power transmission market to some extent. However, opportunities in various segmentation markets such as integrated implementation and induction technology are predicted to compensate for the effect of deterrents in the global wireless power transmission market.
Global Wireless Power Transmission Market: Market Potential
A demonstration test of a motor-assisted bicycle was initiated in Kyoto Prefecture by a team functioning in the Kyoto University. The bicycle is capable of wirelessly receiving charge by merely parking it facing a charger stand. The front wheel of the bicycle is docked in a rack where power is drawn in the form of microwaves with the help of a battery pack and a receiver. The testing began early in March 2017. A differentiating aspect noticed is that the charging is only done late night to avoid potentially harmful contact of humans with microwaves equaling a 100 watts. The charging is designed in such a way that it stops as soon as anybody comes within a particular range.
Global Wireless Power Transmission Market: Regional Outlook
The international wireless power transmission market is anticipated to see Asia Pacific receive a telling traction in terms of market size due to the snowballing presence of a significant number of consumer electronics industries. Countries such as South Korea, India, Japan, and China could lead the Asia Pacific wireless power transmission market from the front. Swift urbanization and aggressively increasing population are the other growth aspects of Asia Pacific in the wireless power transmission market. Researchers also point out Asia Pacific being a mammoth manufacturing hub of consumer electronics as another factor augmenting the progress of the regional wireless power transmission market.
Global Wireless Power Transmission Market: Competitive Landscape
TDK Corp., Integrated Device Technology, Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Witricity Corp., Qualcomm Inc., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. could be the leading companies in the worldwide wireless power transmission market.
The study presents reliable qualitative and quantitative insights into:
