Sinopsis

"Non-Toxic Home Design" explores the impact of conventional building materials on your health, offering solutions for a safer living space. It reveals how seemingly harmless elements like paint, flooring, and furniture can release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and phthalates, contributing to allergies, asthma, and other health issues. Intriguingly, industrialization has led to the widespread use of synthetic materials without fully understanding their long-term effects. The book emphasizes that safer, sustainable alternatives exist, such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, and organic textiles, empowering readers to make informed decisions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of environmental toxins and their health impacts. Subsequent chapters focus on specific home areas like flooring, walls, and furniture, providing information on identifying toxic materials and selecting safer alternatives. It also provides practical guidance on implementing non-toxic design principles, including budgeting and planning renovations.

 
By tracing the history of building material development, the book provides necessary context, making it a valuable resource for homeowners, renters, and anyone interested in eco-friendly design and sustainable materials.

    From the man that the New York Times calls “the most important person you’ve never heard of,” renowned Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta, comes a paradigm shifting treatise, asking a simple yet profound question—what if we put a value on nature, just as we put a value on everything else? Narrated by Sid Sagar. 
    For just about everything of value in life, there is an economic model. If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite: nature. Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable. 
    In On Natural Capital, award-winning Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal new approach to economics that asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? Rooted in mankind’s struggle against climate change, Dasgupta’s approach examines the existential need to rethink our relationship to nature and see its preservation as an economic imperative. Challenging much of economic thought that has come before, Dasgupta presents an urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics with a profound new model—one so radical that only an economist of his stature could make the world take it seriously. On Natural Capital is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.

    From bestselling author, long-time former National Geographic Explorer, and anthropologist Wade Davis comes the story of America's Nile: how it once flowed freely and how human intervention has left it near exhaustion, altering the water temperature, volume, local species, and shoreline of the river Theodore Roosevelt once urged us to "leave it as it is." 
     
     
     
    Plugged by no fewer than twenty-five dams, the Colorado is the world's most regulated river drainage, providing most of the water supply of Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and much of the power and water of Los Angeles and Phoenix, cities that are home to more than 25 million people. For the entire American Southwest, the Colorado is indeed the river of life, which makes it all the more tragic and ironic that by the time it approaches its final destination, it has been reduced to a shadow upon the sand, its delta dry and deserted, its flow a toxic trickle seeping into the sea. 
     
     
     
    Yet despite more than a century of human interference, Davis writes, the splendor of the Colorado lives on in the river's remaining wild rapids, quiet pools, and sweeping canyons. The story of the Colorado River is the human quest for progress and its inevitable effects—and an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of America's most iconic waterway.

    Why Nature Matters is a practical guide for restoring the bond between children and the natural world. Grounded in evidence-based practice, it provides the listener with an understanding of why a connection to nature is so vital for children and how to make that connection happen. 
     
    The book presents a holistic model of nature engagement that nurtures the wellbeing and development of our children. It introduces the Nature Connection Pyramid, which moves through four levels of nature connection, giving listeners the science of 'why' they should make connections to nature a priority, alongside the 'how', with practical exercises and activities. This framework begins by exploring the foundations of attachment, safety, and sensory connection, before considering creative exploration, meaning-making, and, finally, higher nature connections. Each chapter includes rich and diverse stories about nature connections and their impact, as well as reflections and top tips on how to bring more nature into children's lives. 
     
    This resource shows and tells why nature matters and gives ideas on how to rewild ourselves and not just the planet. It will be an essential tool for early childhood educators and teachers, nature practitioners, and occupational therapists and other allied health professionals.
