Finally, the book analyzes the lantern's decline with the advent of electric lighting, its adaptation into specialized roles, and its surprising legacy in contemporary design.

    Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most pivotal forces shaping the global economy today—demographic change. This insightful and timely book delves into the concept of the demographic dividend, a period of accelerated economic growth driven by shifts in population structure, particularly when the working-age population outnumbers dependents. Through a blend of theory, real-world case studies, and policy analysis, the book reveals how nations can harness their demographic potential to spur sustainable economic development. 
    Drawing on historical examples and contemporary trends, the book uncovers how demographic transitions—such as the shift from youthful to aging populations—can either be a boon or a burden for economies. It explores key drivers of economic success, such as human capital investment, healthcare improvements, and job creation, while also addressing the challenges posed by aging populations, dependency ratios, and unemployment. 
    This book also explores the regional perspectives of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, highlighting diverse strategies for leveraging demographic changes in different contexts. It emphasizes the role of education, healthcare, and economic policies in unlocking the full potential of a growing or transitioning population. With a forward-thinking approach, it concludes with actionable insights and a call to action for policymakers, economists, and citizens to turn demographic challenges into lasting economic opportunities. 
    Whether you are a policymaker, economist, academic, or simply an engaged citizen, Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold provides the essential tools and knowledge to understand and navigate the complexities of demographic transitions and their transformative impact on economic development.

  • This Is Your Body on Trauma - How to Nourish Safety Resilience and Connection with Polyvagal-Informed Nutrition - cover

    This Is Your Body on Trauma -...

    This Is Your Body on Trauma is the first book to teach readers how to use nutrition to heal underlying trauma that presents in physical symptoms. It features a unique do-it-yourself approach, allowing people to completely customize their care plan. 
      
    Trauma is pervasive, and recovery usually involves extensive talk therapy. What is often overlooked is using nutrition as a way to restore a sense of safety and self-trust. Research shows between 75 and 90 percent of physician visits are due to the wear and tear on the body from stress hormones. The gut is often our first indicator that something is awry; it is the watchtower raising the alarm, and the existence of trauma can create a negative feedback loop with the brain that leads to several quite common gut-brain axis complaints, such as anxiety, depression, IBS, and pain. 
      
    More than “just” a nutrition book, This Is Your Body on Trauma helps people make connections between what is going on in their mind and body with a unique 360-degree integrative approach to mental health. Using a unique, customizable approach, readers are given a series of experiments based on recommendations, formulating their needs and providing actionable solutions to lessen the perception of stress with nutrition. This book will help people who have experienced traumatic events as both a child and an adult, those who experience chronic stress, as well as people who have experienced food trauma heal and manage the physiological impacts of that trauma throughout their lives. 
      
    • The experiments provided in the book can be done in collaboration with a therapy or nutrition provider. 
    • This book is the only one that discusses not only nutrition for trauma (what to eat), but also applies it in a trauma-informed way (how to eat to avoid triggers).

    Hard Aground brings together three intertwined stories documenting the US Navy's strategic and matériel evolution from the end of Civil War through the First World War. 
     
     
     
    The first story focuses on the reconstruction of the US Navy following the swift and near-total dismantling of the Union Navy infrastructure after the Civil War. Jampoler argues that the federal government discovered that the fleet requested by the navy, and paid for by Congress, was the wrong fleet. 
     
     
     
    The second story relates the short, tragic life of the USS Tennessee. The USS Tennessee was ordered on two unusual missions in the early months of the First World War, long before the United States formally entered the war. These little-known missions and the ship's shocking destruction in a storm surge in the Caribbean serve as the centerpiece of the story. 
     
     
     
    Jampoler rounds out this fascinating account with the story of how the USS Tennessee's destruction prompted fierce deliberations about the US Navy's operations and chains of command for the remainder of the First World War and the high-level political wrangling inside the Department of the Navy immediately after the war.
