This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This volume
focuses on microscopic plastic debris, also referred to as
microplastics, which have been detected in aquatic environments
around the globe and have accordingly raised serious concerns. The
book explores whether microplastics represent emerging contaminants
in freshwater systems, an area that remains underrepresented to
date. Given the complexity of the issue, the book covers the
current state-of-research on microplastics in rivers and lakes,
including analytical aspects, environmental concentrations and
sources, modelling approaches, interactions with biota, and
ecological implications. To provide a broader perspective, the book
also discusses lessons learned from nanomaterials and the
implications of plastic debris for regulation, politics, economy,
and society. In a research field that is rapidly evolving, it
offers a solid overview for environmental chemists, engineers, and
toxicologists, as well as water managers and policy-makers.

Charlie Jacobsen is a young man who seemingly has it all: athletic
talent, popularity, and boundless opportunity. But below this
surface level existence there is more- a lot more. The truth? He
feels lost and out of control. His existence is haunted by strange
extraordinary experiences, well hidden emotional scars, and
unrelenting questioning fueled by his emptiness. Soon after he
serendipitously meets the savior and love of his life, Ema, he is
confronted with a situation no teenager should have to face. In a
last ditch effort to escape from this cruel surface level life and
all of the pain it comes with, Charlie finds himself cast away in
the forests of the Rocky Mountains. His concepts of reality and the
course of his life forever change as he embarks on a fantastical
eye-opening journey. The novel is about facing your fears;
listening to your heart; and discovering the deeper truths behind
life, death, love, and the human potential. It's about finding
personal meaning and a deeper connection in a world that- at first
glance- would appear to be consumed by senseless chaos, duality,
and shallow thinking.
