Sinossi

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.

No Country for Old Age -...

Mischa Honeck

Since the birth of their nation, Americans have acted on the belief that theirs was a land of youth, a place destined to offer a fresh start to an aging world. No Country for Old Age tells this story from the founding period to our present moment, but not without exposing its darker side: rejuvenation has often bred grand expectations that end in division and despair. 
 
 
 
Mischa Honeck reveals how Americans of diverse backgrounds have sought not only to feel and look younger but also to breathe new life into their communities. Whether marching under the banners of science, public health, sexual liberation, physical fitness, nation-building, or world peace, these youth seekers have tended to paint their ventures in utopian colors. However, from the founders to today's Silicon Valley elites, anti-aging ventures have repeatedly magnified social inequalities, often projecting visions of society that have been unmistakably classist, racist, misogynist, and ageist. Today we are experiencing rejuvenation's Janus-faced legacy: As transhumanists rhapsodize about cyber-enhancing human bodies, ghastly pandemics, old-age poverty, and shrinking life expectancies are poised to become the new normal for many twenty-first-century Americans.

Love Sex & Mushrooms -...

Cardy Raper

When a young girl, Cardy Raper told her mother, "When I grow up I want to be a scientist and make grand discoveries!" Her mother responded, "You could become a nurse." Science was a man's world then. Cardy refused to take "no" for an answer.   Her dream seemed attainable when she met her mentor, Professor John "Red" Raper at the University of Chicago who said "Yes, you can be a scientist!" They became soul mates, fell in love, married, parented children, moved to Harvard, and did research together on the versatile sex life of fungi.  Red's untimely death left Cardy alone in the competitive world of cuttingedge science. She carried on, obtained a doctoral degree, learned the techniques of molecular genetics, and established her own laboratory where she conducted pioneering research on the genetic and molecular determinants of sexual reproduction in a mushroombearing fungus with 20,000 different sexes. This fungus has served as a model organism for exploring the way in which sensing molecules, such as pheromones, function to communicate in more complex organisms.

A Woman Among Wolves - My...

Diane K. Boyd, Douglas H. Chadwick

Called the Jane Goodall of wolves, world-renowned wildlife biologist Diane Boyd has spent four decades studying and advocating for wolves in the wilds of Montana near Glacier National Park. When she started in the 1970s, she was the only female biologist in the United States researching and radio-collaring wild wolves. With her two dogs for company, she faced the rigors of the Montana winter in an isolated cabin. 
 
 
 
Boyd fearlessly forded icy rivers, strapped on skis to navigate thick stands of lodgepole pine, and monitored packs from the air in a tiny bush plane so she could count wolves and see what they were feeding on. She faced down grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolverines—and the occasional trapper—as she stalked her quarry: a handful of wolves that were making their way south from Canada into Montana. She devised her own trapping methods and negotiated with locals as wolf populations grew from the first natural colonizer to more than 3,000 wolves in the West today. 
 
 
 
Boyd takes the listener on a wild ride from the early days of wolf research to the present-day challenges of wolf management across the globe, highlighting her interactions with an apex predator that captured her heart and her undying admiration. Her writing resonates with her indomitable spirit as she explores the intricate balance of human and wolf coexistence.
