Sinopse

Vertical Farming Future explores how technology can transform food production through indoor and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). It examines the principles and advancements of vertical farming, a key component of sustainable agriculture, and its potential to revolutionize how we grow food. One intriguing aspect is the optimization of plant growth via precise environmental control, which impacts crop yields and quality. The book also highlights the diverse technologies, such as LED lighting and hydroponics, that are making vertical farms efficient and sustainable.

 
The book traces CEA's evolution from early greenhouses to modern vertical farms, addressing the urgent need for sustainable food systems. It presents a balanced view, arguing that vertical farming is not a singular solution but a vital tool alongside traditional methods to enhance food security. Beginning with plant physiology, the book progresses through vertical farming technologies, economic viability, environmental impacts, and future trends. It analyzes hydroponic, aeroponic, and aquaponic systems; energy consumption; labor costs; and the reduction of water usage and pesticide application.

 
Vertical Farming Future adopts a holistic approach, considering the technological, economic, social, and environmental dimensions of vertical farming. It’s designed for anyone interested in the future of food, including students, researchers, and policymakers, offering practical knowledge about the design, operation, and sustainability of vertical farms. The book addresses ongoing debates, presenting different perspectives to encourage informed opinions on agricultural technology and the future of food.

    In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an "invisible cage." 
     
     
      
    Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. 
     
     
      
    Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

    MD Ann-Christine Duhaime

    If we believe the climate crisis is real, why is it so difficult to change our behavior and our consumer tendencies? 
     
     
     
    Minding the Climate investigates this problem in the neuroscience of decision-making. Ann-Christine Duhaime, MD, points to the evolution of the human brain during eons of resource scarcity. The brain adapted to prioritize short-term survival over more uncertain long-term outcomes. But the resulting behavioral architecture is poorly suited to the present, when scarcity is a lesser concern and slow-moving challenges like environmental issues present the greatest danger. Duhaime details how even our acknowledged best interests are thwarted by the brain's reward system: if a behavior isn't perceived as immediately beneficial, we probably won't do it—never mind that we "know" we should. 
     
     
     
    Luckily, we can sway our brains, and those of others, to alter our behaviors. Duhaime describes concrete, achievable interventions that have been shown to encourage our neurological circuits to embrace new rewards. Such small, incremental steps that individuals take, whether in their roles as consumers, in the workplace, or in leadership positions, are necessary to mitigate climate change. The more we understand how our tendencies can be overridden by our brain's capacity to adapt, Duhaime argues, the more likely we are to have a future.

    A myth-busting guide on testosterone from leading male health expert Dr Jeff Foster to help men feel stronger, healthier, and get back to their best selves. 
    Testosterone: it’s a powerhouse hormone that fuels men’s energy, focus, mood, and vitality at every age. Yet despite its importance, testosterone is surrounded by confusion, stigma, and half-truths. 
    In this accessible, myth-busting guide, leading expert in male health Dr Jeff Foster sets the record straight. Drawing on years of clinical experience as an NHS GP Partner and a Private GP with a specialist interest in men's health, he explains how testosterone really works; why deficiency is far more common than most people think, and how it can impact everything from sleep to mental health, strength to sex, and overall wellbeing. 
    Learn how to spot the signs of low testosterone; what modern treatments can (and can’t) do, and why looking after your hormone health is one of the best investments you can make for your future. 
    Testosterone is not simply about muscles and libido. It’s about health, confidence, and living life to the fullest. 
    This is the men's health book all men need to read: 
    ‘Essential reading for every man’ – James Haskell

    Millions of people around the world have been diagnosed with incurable autoimmune diseases like Multiple Sclerosis. Debilitating conditions that make us tired, ill, and miserable. The only solution the medical industry offers are side-effect riddled maintenance drugs such as steroids and painkillers.Getting a formal diagnosis of MS is often a lengthy and challenging process. Many never get a medical confirmation of what is happening to their mind and body at all! Countless individuals live in constant pain and discomfort because they incorrectly assume all their health problems are the natural result of aging.Unfortunately, Craig Beck joined this ill-health demographic at the age of 48. After suffering months of severe symptoms, eventually, he too got handed the autoimmunity life sentence. However, rather than accept the hand as it was dealt. He remembered that the best medicine for a long and healthy life is found at the end of your fork, not the doctor's prescription pad. Craig decided to fall back on his research into natural medicine. He designed a diet and lifestyle that made inflammation the enemy and target. A process that would show amazing success at pushing Multiple Sclerosis firmly into near-permanent remission. In this special MS addition of the Autoimmune Antidote, you will gain valuable insight into the new, natural approach that can help you prevent and maybe even reverse the life-limiting symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis and other inflammatory health problems.
