Summary

Filtering Microplastic Risks examines the growing concern of microplastic pollution, focusing on how these tiny plastic particles contaminate our water, air, and food. The book highlights that microplastics, originating from the breakdown of larger plastics and industrial processes, are now ubiquitous in our environment. Surprisingly, the long-term health effects of ingesting these particles are still being researched, making proactive filtration measures essential. 

 
The book progresses by first explaining the science behind microplastics, including their sources and potential health impacts. It then evaluates various filtration techniques, such as reverse osmosis and activated carbon filtration, assessing their effectiveness in reducing microplastic levels. Finally, it guides readers on implementing these techniques in homes and industries. 

 
This approach equips readers to make informed decisions about water purification, air filtration, and food preparation, providing actionable solutions to minimize their microplastic footprint and promote sustainability.

    In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.

    An award-winning natural-history writer opens the door to the nature that thrives in our yards, gardens, and parks    We all live on nature’s doorstep, but we often overlook it. From backyards to local parks, the natural places we see the most may well be the ones we know the least.     In Close to Home, biologist Thor Hanson shows how retraining our eyes reveals hidden wonders just waiting to be discovered. In Kansas City, migrating monarch butterflies flock to the local zoo. In the Pacific Northwest, fierce yellowjackets placidly sip honeydew, unseen in the treetops. In New England, a lawn gone slightly wild hosts a naturalist's life's work. And in the soil beneath our feet, remedies for everything from breast cancer to the stench of skunks lie waiting for someone’s searching shovel.     Close to Home is a hands-on natural history for any local patch of Earth. It shows that we each can contribute to science and improve the health of our planet. And even more, it proves that the wonders of nature don’t lie in some far-off land: they await us, close to home.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
Confront the death of privacy in the digital age and understand how your personal information has become a commodity traded without your meaningful consent or awareness. This alarming audiobook reveals the extent of surveillance capitalism, government monitoring, and data harvesting that makes genuine privacy effectively impossible for ordinary people today. Learn how smartphones, smart devices, social media platforms, and digital services collect intimate details about your behavior, relationships, health, and psychology around the clock. The narrator exposes the data broker industry that compiles comprehensive profiles on every individual, selling information to anyone willing to pay without notification or permission. Discover how surveillance infrastructure originally built for security became commercial exploitation apparatus with minimal regulatory constraint. Understand why privacy policies you never read actually authorize almost unlimited data collection and sharing while creating illusion of protection. This audiobook examines the psychological effects of surveillance on behavior, thought, and self-expression even when people believe they have nothing to hide. Learn what privacy researchers, former tech employees, and digital rights advocates understand about the true cost of convenience that trades personal information for services. Perfect for anyone using digital technology who wants to understand what they are actually exchanging and what limited options remain for those seeking to preserve any privacy in the surveillance age.

    As more farmers move to a regenerative approach to their farming practices, many turn to Ewan who has been farming this way for decades, providing practical answers for practical farmers through growing the greatest soil on earth. 
Ewan, faced with a failing farm and 'empty pockets', realised that doing things the way they had always been done was what had gotten him to the point of 'farming off the cliff slowly'. Asking the question 'What is soil?' he embarked on a journey of research and trials resulting in a deep understanding of the delicate interaction of the soil, biology, nutrient, plant and ultimately health of the animal and ourselves. 
Through observation of phenomena, study of concepts and testing Ewan finds solutions to problems that are facing farmers today - always a beneficial outcome. 'Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books' (Albrecht). 
This book chronicles the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in farming - everything is connected to the soil. If the soil is failing then so is the produce and profitability. In this world of clean and green, Ewan is able to bring back the natural nitrogen cycle in the plant (nitrogen doesn't need to be from a bag) whilst growing and measuring deep carbon levels, beneficial to the water cycle as well. Nature will repair itself and this book will explain how. 
With the patent for 'Probitas' - a product that amplifies the natural electrical potential of the earth and with his extensive knowledge of soil silicas and free aluminium, Ewan is a force that Big Ag tried to eliminate. 
Farmers are increasingly looking to heal their land, maintain healthy and productive animals and revitalise and regenerate their farming life and enthusiasm. 
Ewan puts complex concepts through the 'simplifier' to allow anyone to understand, linking soil-plant-animal-human health. He is often told that nobody else has their feet in the farm like he does.

    Modern statistics is very different from the dry and dusty discipline of the popular imagination. In its place is an exciting subject which uses deep theory and powerful software tools to shed light and enable understanding. And it sheds this light on all aspects of our lives, enabling astronomers to explore the origins of the universe, archaeologists to investigate ancient civilizations, governments to understand how to benefit and improve society, and businesses to learn how best to provide goods and services.Aimed at listeners with no prior mathematical knowledge, this Very Short Introduction explores and explains how statistics work, and how we can decipher them.
