The definitive guide to the birds of Chile With its diverse range
of habitats, Chile is one of the top birding destinations in South
America and supports an interesting range of breeding and visiting
birds, including the Chilean Tinamou, Juan Fernandez Firecrown and
a number of other endemic species. This comprehensive field guide
covers all of the species recorded in Chile, including vagrants;
all are illustrated in superb detail, and feature every major
plumage variation. Concise species accounts describe key
identification features, status, range, habitat and voice, and
accurate distribution maps are also provided for every species.
Together, these elements make this the essential field guide to the
birds of this fascinating and beautiful region.
Mass deportation is at the forefront of political discourse in the
United States. The Shadow of the Wall shows in tangible ways the
migration experiences of hundreds of people, including their
encounters with U.S. Border Patrol, cartels, detention facilities,
and the deportation process. Deportees reveal in their
heartwrenching stories the power of family separation and
reunification and the cost of criminalization, and they call into
question assumptions about human rights and federal policies. The
authors analyze data from the Migrant Border Crossing Study (MBCS),
a mixed-methods, binational research project that offers socially
relevant, rigorous social science about migration, immigration
enforcement, and violence on the border. Using information gathered
from more than 1,600 post-deportation surveys, this volume examines
the different faces of violence and migration along the
Arizona-Sonora border and shows that deportees are highly connected
to the United States and will stop at nothing to return to their
families. The Shadow of the Wall underscores the unintended social
consequences of increased border enforcement, immigrant
criminalization, and deportation along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Heating and cooling losses from forced-air ducts can result in high
energy costs, lead to thermal comfort problems, and -- in some
extreme situations -- result in serious health and safety concerns.
Reducing air leakage and conductive losses from ducts can be a
straight-forward way to reduce energy use and improve comfort in
homes. This book discusses the basics of air distribution and duct
design; strategies to seal and insulate ducts in existing homes;
accurate heating and cooling load calculations and HVAC equipment
sizing.
