Sinopse

Desertification, the escalating crisis of land degradation in drylands, threatens global food security and the livelihoods of billions. This book examines the environmental and human factors driving this process, emphasizing that it's not solely a natural phenomenon but is exacerbated by unsustainable practices. Understanding the interplay between climate variability, soil erosion, and human activities like overgrazing and deforestation is crucial. Case studies from the Sahel, the American Southwest, and Central Asia illustrate the diverse impacts and potential interventions.

 
The book "Desertification" progresses systematically, beginning with key definitions and indicators before delving into natural and human factors. It explores socioeconomic drivers like population growth and policy failures, culminating in an examination of mitigation and adaptation strategies. Evidence from satellite imagery, field studies, and climate models supports the analysis, offering a comprehensive perspective on this socio-ecological challenge.

    This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
     
     
     
    Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
     
     
     
    Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.

    Mind Control - An Owner's Manual...

    A.I. or - Thinking outside the box!  Mind Control is the first Owner's Manual that will help usher in a new species of human being, a species who will respect their home planet and put it first above all other priorities. I call him 'Homo Planetae' or Man of the Planet. Homo Sapiens or the Wise Man is no longer viable since it is this species that has brought us to the edge of extinction and the total destruction of this planet's habitat - something no other creature in history has been so careless and greedy to do. We did that. An evolutionary branching off of an obsolete species and onto a new more advanced creature is now taking place right before our eyes, but 'None are so blind as those who will not see.' 
    Through your increased abilities of using your mind or 'Mind Control' as this author defines it - we still have a chance to redeem ourselves and save this planet. But time is of the essence and is rapidly running fading.  It's only by casting off the mind control by evil forces for the last few billion years that we have a chance to advance our civilization past the next few decades and on into the far distant future.  Failing this adventure, we will surely go extinct in a few years. 
    The ways in which we are mind controlled by our government and our corporations, our religions are profound yet so subtle we don't even think about it until it's too late.  In this book you will find the new rules of our future evolution, some mind control exercises that will make you more in charge of your life and ways to turn us away from our current path towards the precipice, oblivion, the cliff. It's not out of the question, but every day we put off joining the growing list of people who know about Mind Control and the Owner's Manual, the greater are the chances that we may be able to save ourselves. All future generations will thank us - but only if YOU show you are part of us.

  • Manifesto for the Revitalisation of Cities - A Solution to Portugal's Housing Crisis - cover

    Manifesto for the Revitalisation...

    The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
    The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
    The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
    It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.
