Sinopse

Sustainable Fish Farming explores aquaculture's pivotal role in global food security, dissecting its capacity to ease pressure on wild fish populations amidst rising protein demands. It emphasizes that aquaculture, when rooted in ecological principles and managed responsibly, can be a crucial element of sustainable food systems. The book delves into key aspects such as species selection, responsible feed sourcing, and waste management, highlighting how mismanagement can lead to habitat destruction and pollution.

The book systematically guides readers through the complexities of sustainable aquaculture, beginning with fundamental concepts and farming methods. For example, integrated multi-trophic systems, where waste from one species becomes food for another, mimic natural ecosystems and reduce environmental impact. It also analyzes the policy and economic frameworks essential for promoting sustainable aquaculture practices, connecting to fields like ecology and economics.

Throughout its chapters, the book uses case studies and scientific literature to challenge the notion that aquaculture is inherently harmful. It offers strategies for minimizing negative environmental impacts while maximizing productivity, providing a holistic perspective that considers the ecological, economic, and social dimensions of aquaculture. This approach makes the book valuable for students, researchers, and policymakers seeking a comprehensive understanding of responsible aquaculture development.

Nest City - How Citizens Serve...

Beth Sanders

Our linear ways of thinking about, organizing and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face: many citizens don't feel they belong; we don't agree on how to best move around; many don't have jobs or homes they can afford; we make running businesses hard work; we are facing challenges with the climate crisis and a pandemic. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. 
Drawing on her expertise as a city planner and a relationship-broker in the conflicts that surface in city life, Sanders offer strategies to explore how cities, public institutions, community organizations and the business community can work together to improve our cities. She explores the evolutionary nature of our relationship with cities, and how the tension we experience in city life compels each of us to work to improve and regenerate our cities. 
Nest City articulates the importance of having a sense of direction, being willing as citizens and cities to learn along the way, and accepting the uncertainty and messiness of cities as opportunities to make cities that serve cities well. Nest City will forever alter the way to look at your city, your local public institutions, community organizations or businesses--and how you think about and contribute to your city.

Radiology - Diagnostic Imaging...

Mike Crawford

Radiology has revolutionized the medical field, transforming the way diseases and injuries are diagnosed and treated. What began as an accidental discovery of X-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen has now evolved into a sophisticated and indispensable branch of medicine. Through the continuous advancement of imaging technologies, radiology has become an essential tool for early detection, precise diagnosis, and targeted treatments, improving patient outcomes and shaping modern healthcare.  
  
The role of radiology extends far beyond simple imaging. It serves as the foundation for nearly every medical specialty, providing crucial insights into internal structures that were once inaccessible. From detecting fractures and infections to identifying tumors and guiding complex surgeries, radiology has significantly reduced the need for exploratory procedures, minimizing risks for patients. As imaging techniques have improved, so has the ability to diagnose conditions at earlier stages, allowing for more effective interventions and better prognoses.  
  
Technological advancements in radiology have propelled the field into a new era of precision and efficiency. The introduction of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine has expanded diagnostic capabilities, enabling physicians to view the human body in unprecedented detail. Digital imaging, artificial intelligence, and automation have further enhanced the accuracy and speed of diagnosis, reducing human error and streamlining workflows. These innovations have also made radiology more accessible, allowing for remote diagnostics and teleradiology, which are especially beneficial in underserved areas.

Fulcrum and Torsion of the...

Jorge C. Trainini, Mario...

In this new book, Trainini and his team attempt a step forward and make a series of proposals that come to complete cardiac anatomy, physiology and mechanics. Reading this new investigation is a pleasure that demands continuous attention, so that our "neuronal boxes" do not rebel against the effort it means to sometimes destroy what we have firmly installed in them. The text should be read slowly, as it was never easy to tread in swamp-limited grounds and, as in the ascent to the summit of a difficult mountain, stop now and then to take a breath and enjoy the view as we get near the peak, where we will see the final landscape of the new vision. Then we will be conscious that the effort was worthwhile.
