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.

    The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are also glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable in a century. How has this happened? What shifts in thinking did it demand? In crisp, transporting prose, Christopher Preston reveals the mysteries and challenges at the heart of these resurgences. 
 
 
 
Drawing on compelling personal stories from the researchers, Indigenous people, and activists who know the creatures best, Preston weaves together a gripping narrative of how some species are taking back vital, ecological roles. Each section of the book offers a philosophical shift in how humans ought to think about animals, passionately advocating for the changes in attitude necessary for wildlife recovery. 
 
 
 
Tenacious Beasts is quintessential nature writing for the Anthropocene, touching on different facets of ecological restoration from Indigenous knowledge to rewilding practices. More important, perhaps, the book offers a road map—and a measure of hope—for a future in which humans and animals can once again coexist.

She was never meant to be seen. 
 
Born in the abyss—where light has never touched and pressure shapes every living thing—she was destined to remain hidden. A creature of the deep, unseen by the world above, drifting through the blackness, waiting. 
 
Until one day… she rose. 
 
For reasons unknown, a lone anglerfish ascended from the depths, leaving behind the only world she had ever known. She swam toward something distant, something beautiful—a light that was not her own. 
 
And when she reached it… she was gone. 
 
But not before she was seen. 
 
A passing diver captured her final moments. The video spread like wildfire. The world mourned a creature it had never known—but somehow instantly loved.
 
The Fish Who Touched the Light is a poetic, emotional, and symbolic retelling of a real-life moment that mesmerized millions. Through science, storytelling, and deep emotional reflection, it brings new meaning to the strange and beautiful journey of one deep-sea anglerfish. 
 
Inside, you’ll discover: 

The alien, pressure-crushed world of the deep ocean—and the life that thrives there 
What happens when deep-sea creatures rise to the surface 
The meaning people found in her journey—and why it struck such a powerful chord 
The symbolic connection between her story and our own human search for purpose 

 
This is not just a book about a fish. 
 
It’s about longing. About exploration. About rising beyond what you were built for—toward something greater. 
 
For those who felt something when they saw her… 
 
For those who can’t stop thinking about her rise… 
 
For those who know what it means to chase the light… 
 
This story is for you.

    Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness. Much attention has rightly been focused on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information. 
 
 
 
Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.
