Synopsis

Vertical Ocean Farming explores the innovative concept of underwater agriculture as a solution to global food security and environmental challenges. It highlights the potential of vertical ocean farms—multi-layered aquaculture systems—to revolutionize food production by maximizing yield and minimizing ecological impact. These farms can contribute to carbon sequestration and enhanced nutrient cycling, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional land-based agriculture, which often leads to resource depletion and habitat destruction.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental concepts in marine biology and oceanography, then progresses to the specifics of vertical ocean farm design, construction, and operation. Different structural designs, materials, and technologies used in building underwater farms are examined.

 
It addresses the ecological benefits of these farms, presenting a balanced assessment of the risks and benefits, while offering strategies for mitigating potential negative impacts on marine ecosystems.

 
Ultimately, Vertical Ocean Farming aims to inspire innovation and collaboration in the pursuit of a more sustainable and resilient food future. By exploring the potential of underwater agriculture, this book offers a compelling vision for how we can feed the world while protecting our oceans.

A superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League is a brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world.
Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions.

From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race, and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are trying to prevent doom.
The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world – and what we can do about it.
In this top-notch non-fiction, Tom Ough delves into the future of our species, exploring the latest scientific studies and the upcoming challenges we face. He introduces us to the visionaries who are working tirelessly to ensure our survival, making The Anti-Catastrophe League a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, nature, and social issues.

The Planet You Inherit - Letters...

Larry L. Rasmussen

For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
 
 
 
Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
 
 
 
From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.

Tenacious Beasts - Wildlife...

Christopher J. Preston

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.
