FWIW, my next book (due out in 2027, with McGill-Queens University Press) is called
"Mammoth-Rider at Flood's Edge: Geomorphology and Archaeofuturist Transportation."
It is about animals as means of transportation during floods, with a focus on elephants, horses and camels.
The discussion operates partly as an argument for thinking about climate change in cyclical rather than catastrophic terms. The discussion also launches the hypothesis that horse-, elephant-, and camel-riding were all originally invented (during the late Neolithic and Bronze ages) for moving across fords and across floodprone landscapes. As far as I know, nobody has argued this before.
Chapters are set in ancient SW Russia, ancient Iran, ancient Burma, the Amazon in the age of the conquistadors, the modern Frisian islands, modern Burma, ancient and modern India, the Pripet Marshes of Ukraine, and western China's mysterious wandering lake, Lop Nor.
At a philosophical level, the book discusses the following figures and their ideas (all relevant to the theme of animals as transport during floods): Heraclitus, Karl Marx, Guillaume Faye, Oswald Spengler, and Sven Hedin.

That's what's coming!
