Eastern Alpaka 29 MTB Hardtail Bike - Gray
This inspiring 29" Mountain bike incorporates a wealth of features to provide a high end experience at an entry level price.
The lightweight 6061 Hydroformed aluminum frame with custom geometry blends an off road capable Mountain Bike with an all day Trail and Pathway inspired hardtail providing a comfortable nimble ride on any terrain.
Up front the Eastern 130mm travel spring coil fork with mechanical lockout feature provides a confident riding position ascending any hill and soaks up the shocks on the way down.
Stopping power is handled by the Radius branded 160mm Front and Rear hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable reach levers.
The newly developed 1x9 X-Gear drivetrain using high end forged and machined parts gives smooth crisp shifts while still being compatible with Shimano and SRAM aftermarket parts. The wide ratio 11.34t rear cassette matched with the 32t ring up front gives a ratio similar to 21 and 27speed systems but without the added weight and complication of additional shifters and cables. Smooth internal cable routing keeps everything shielded from the elements.
Outfitted with a high quality wheel package, the fast rolling 29" wheels feature Quick Release hubs and Double Wall alloy rims. Matched with 2.2" all terrain tires as standard inspires confidence across a wide range of terrain, the frame is designed to accommodate up to 2.4" rubber so you can customise the grip to your riding style as your confidence improves.
Finished off with quality Eastern branded contact points along with a Velo Saddle and Grips, they bring a touch of comfort and class not normally seen at this price.
The Eastern Alpaka, is a go anywhere capable machine ready to ride.

disappointing
Format: Hardcover
I was excited to read "Under a White Sky". Unfortunately, it seems that the author just sort of stopped writing when COVID hit. See page 197, where author laments the arrival of COVID. FOur pages later, book ends. The author even says on page 197:
"Here I was, trying to finish a book about the world spinning out of control, only to find the world spinning so far out of control that I couldn't finish the book".
Couldn't finish the book, but COULD publish it and sell it to people like me.
The early chapters are interesting, each one covering a different topic related to man messing with nature. Good stuff. But I expect some analysis, some conclusion, something to sum it all up. It just isn't there.
Topic and early chapters showed great promise. But the ending is truly lacking. And as the author alludes, unfinished.

As A Dominant Species, We Dance On The Razor’s Edge
Format: Hardcover
Under A White Sky
Elizabeth Kolbert’s claim to fame is her book The Sixth Extinction. In comparison Kolbert’s under A White Sky is rather short and disorganized, yet her coverage of those working on solutions to Climate Change is pretty darn interesting. In her conclusion, she writes, “This has been a book about people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems.” Putting this sentence at the book’s beginning rather than buried at its end would have provided a reader a compass to help determine where Kolbert was going with her dialogue.
As she wades through the reversed direction of the Chicago river; Asian carp; Cane toads; forced and accelerated evolution in regard to coral, in particular in regard to the Great Barrier Reef (without discussing the importance of the worlds reefs; the continual flooding of New Orleans both despite and because of the actions of The Army Corps of engineers, one begins to ponder a general connection that might exist, while the book itself is headed toward a two star rating.
Then, Kolbert got to Global Warming and Climate science. The book’s last sixty pages are worth the complete price of admission. The chapter begins with carbon sequestration, the pros and cons of how it can be done, and does it also contribute to the growing problem. The stoppered bathtub” analogy is perhaps the best analogy I’ve heard in regard to the anthropocentric carbon dioxide problem on the Earth. The tub is full of water/ the sky’s CO2 level; the tubs stoppered, so the water isn’t going anywhere, and the atmosphere’s increased CO2 level won’t drop in the near future either; and even if the water flow to the tub is reduced, it will still accumulate until over flowing, as will reduced emissions continue to amass in the atmosphere. In a sense, we are already beyond the tipping point in terms of global temperature increase.
Harvard University Center for the Environment director Dan Schrag says, “I’m a scientist. My job is not to tell people the good news. My job is to describe the world as accurately as possible.” He predicts, due to the fact that the oceans must equilibriate. “If we were to stop CO2 emissions tomorrow, which of course isn’t possible, it’s still going to warm for centuries. That’s just basic physics.” Thus enters the topic of geoengineering, and the connection with people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems truly comes into focus. Kolbert , in a rather clandestine way connects the dots of her past “local problems”, but now the problem fix, if it doesn’t work could create problems beyond solving.
She hits the nail on the head with this. Humans have been around 35-50 thousand years, but only the last ten thousand or so have they thrived, largely due to agriculture and differentiation of what one can do because of agriculture. But ag has only been able to thrive because of the rather consistent global weather of the past ten thousand years, due to glacial retreat. This has been presented in great detail by Jared Diamond in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel. The CO2 we’ve put into the atmosphere isn’t going anywhere, as we continue to pour more into the mix. Her interviews with climate scientists do not bode well for our species, as everything they think of to combat the CO2 conundrum brings more as the bathtub continues to fill. One could say humans have become victims of their own success as a species.
Ultimately, one gets the feeling from Kolbert and her interviews, that the enormous fluctuations in the Earth’s climate over geological time, and those yet to come, render whatever we do as humans as a moot point. The Earth will shake is off as a dog rids itself of fleas. She also brings to the argument, when the blank really hits the fan, as it will despite, or because of any preventative efforts by man, the resulting population displacements will be staggering.
A sobering, informative book as we, as a species, dance on the razor’s edge.

fascinating and compellingly written
Format: Hardcover
Elizabeth Kolbert is one of my favorite nonfiction authors. She has such a knack for writing in a clear, compelling way that makes you think and marvel and ask questions you've never considered before. In her previous book, The Sixth Extinction, she catalogs all the ways in which humans have drastically changed the natural world, ushering the new age of the Anthropocene. Under a White Sky is an exploration of the ways scientists around the world are trying to undo those changes. There are people engineering unique solutions to combat a variety of environmental threats: invasive carp in the Chicago River and cane toads in Australia, Louisiana's rapidly disappearing Mississippi River delta, rare species that now depend entirely on human conservation for their continued survival, and, perhaps most pressingly, the problem of rising carbon emissions and global climate change.
That there are brilliant minds working innovatively to solve these problems inspires optimism. But these sobering portraits really highlight the extreme human measures it takes to keep at bay the problems caused by humans interfering with nature in the first place. We've already transformed the planet; how much more will it be transformed by these interventions, and in what ways?
