David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical and theoretical approaches, and provides a critical assessment of the many schools of thought which have emerged for dealing with adjustment in the fluvial system. It is fully illustrated throughout by a superb range of figures, photographs and tables. Starting with the network scale, the book examines the interaction of hillslopes, drainage networks and channels, and goes on to considerations of catchment hydrology and catchment denudation. Fluvial processes are analysed in detail, from the mechanics of flow to sediment transport and deposition. Detailing the major components of river channels, the book examines the nature of river adjustment, particularly with respect to equilibrium concepts, and concludes with a look at channel changes through time, affected by flood discharges, climatic change and human activities.

The Wisdom of the Healing Wound: A New View on Why We Hurt & How We Can Cure Even the Deepest Physical and Emotional Wounds

Wounds are universal. We all experience them―to our bodies, our psyches, and our spirits. According to David Knighton, M.D., wounding is nothing to fear. In fact, wounding is as essential to life as healing―the two working together in an intricate biological dance that permeates all of nature. The Wisdom of the Healing Wound offers a new view on why we hurt, how we heal, and how we wound ourselves for our own benefit. Paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. Armed with this new, positive outlook on wounding, readers can enjoy profound healing―even in wounds that have been diagnosed as chronic or incurable. Whether those wounds are physical, psychological, or spiritual, readers of The Wisdom of the Healing Wound will find many new and effective healing strategies―and renewed hope.

Wounds are universal. We all experience them―to our bodies, our psyches, and our spirits. According to David Knighton, M.D., a visionary medical researcher who has worked with C. Everett Koop, Judah Folkman, Thomas Hunt, and other giants in the field of wound healing, wounding is nothing to fear. In fact, wounding is as essential to life as healing―the two working together in an intricate biological dance that permeates all of nature. 
In The Wisdom of the Healing Wound, Dr. Knighton empowers and comforts those who are suffering from serious, chronic, mysterious, and non-healing wounds―whether physical, psychological, or spiritual. The Wisdom of the Healing Wound offers a new view on why we hurt, how we heal, and how we wound ourselves for our own benefit, such as when we exercise and tear down our muscles to build more. Wounds are also a form of memory; they enable our bodies to store information about where danger lies and when to be careful. Wounds are our greatest teachers, our most important survival tools, and our best instruments of growth and change. Paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. Armed with this new, positive outlook on wounding, readers can enjoy profound healing―even in wounds that have been diagnosed as chronic or incurable. Whether those wounds are physical, psychological, or spiritual, readers of The Wisdom of the Healing Wound will find many new and effective healing strategies―and renewed hope.
