Synopsis

Fierce Winds Bend delves into the crucial topic of hurricane resilience for coastal populations facing the increasing threats of climate change. The book emphasizes comprehensive shelter strategies and adaptive planning as key components for minimizing loss of life and community disruption. It highlights the importance of understanding both the meteorological dynamics of hurricanes and the socio-economic factors influencing a community's ability to withstand these severe weather events. For instance, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale’s evolution reflects our growing ability to categorize and prepare for these storms. 

 
The book progresses from establishing a scientific and historical context of hurricanes to examining shelter design principles and the importance of evacuation planning and community education. A unique aspect is its focus on adaptive planning, acknowledging the constantly evolving behavior of hurricanes and the need for preparedness plans to remain flexible. Through case studies and data, the book offers a framework for communities to assess their vulnerability and develop comprehensive hurricane resilience plans applicable to emergency management and urban planning.

    Food Health and Climate - Why It...

    By favoring mostly plant-based foods, we can actually save the world – and live longer, healthier lives. 
    A shift to mostly plant-based diets and new food technologies could solve our most important and pressing global problems. Issues like climate change, hunger, freshwater shortages, the Sixth Extinction, antibiotic resistance, and the threat of new pandemics might just melt away with the new food revolution. 
    According to official estimates, meat and other animal-based products account for around 20% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real figure must be significantly higher. Emissions from soils of grazing lands and fields growing cattle feed have not been included in the official statistics. Methane emissions from polluted lakes, rivers, reservoirs and shallow seas are still classified as natural emissions. Besides, cattle raising and fields growing animal feed threaten to transform the whole Amazonian rainforest to semi-dry savannah. If this happens, animal agriculture will become, overwhelmingly, the main driver for global warming. 
    Food, Health and Climate explains why it is not possible to halt global warming without reducing meat consumption. On the other hand, if we manage to shift to more sustainable eating habits, billions of hectares of land will be freed from animal farming and could be used to grow new conservation and carbon-sink forests, or to produce raw materials for new wood- and biomass-based products that could replace metals, concrete, plastics, and chemicals.

    Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and affordable sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial. Renewable energy is recognized as providing the answer, with countries from around the world deciding at COP28 in 2023 to aim to triple the global renewable energy capacity by 2030, for the transition away from fossil fields to be on track for net-zero emissions by 2050.This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver. It also discusses the relatively small contributions expected from tidal, wave, geothermal, and nuclear power, and from carbon capture and storage. Electrification of buildings, industry, and transport for net-zero will roughly triple the supply of electricity, and this can be met predominantly by solar PV and wind power.The learning effect has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of wind and solar PV power in the last decade, making them the cheapest generators of electricity in most parts of the world. The Very Short Introduction ends by discussing the actions needed that include strong consistent policies, financial initiatives to take advantage of the long-term benefits of renewables, and good community involvement.
