Sinopse

Water and Hunger explores the critical link between increasing water scarcity and global food security, a pressing issue exacerbated by climate change and unsustainable agricultural practices. The book highlights how historical approaches to water management, including the Green Revolution's focus on boosting crop yields, have inadvertently intensified water demand, creating long-term vulnerabilities. It also examines the socioeconomic disparities that disproportionately impact vulnerable populations facing water shortages. 

 
The book adopts a comprehensive approach, starting with core concepts and progressing to case studies of drought-prone regions like the Sahel and parts of India and China. By integrating insights from environmental science, economics, and political science, it demonstrates that water scarcity is a multifaceted crisis rooted in unsustainable practices and inadequate governance. Intriguingly, it presents data revealing that some modern solutions, while increasing crop yields, have amplified water demand, which is one of the reasons that sustainable water use is more important than ever. 

 
Ultimately, Water and Hunger advocates for an integrated approach, emphasizing technological innovation, policy reform, and community-based solutions for sustainable water use. It draws on diverse data sources, including hydrological data and socioeconomic surveys, and offers practical strategies for mitigating the risks of water scarcity and enhancing food security, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in environmental sustainability.

Mysteries of the Social Brain -...

Bruce L. Miller, Virginia Sturm

Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well‑being―and the well‑being of our societies―and show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity. 
 
By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values. This book showcases the discovery that creativity can emerge when there is decline in the brain’s language systems, a finding that highlights the robust, yet underappreciated connections between science and art. Listeners will learn about the biological basis of social behavior as well as simple steps that they can take to improve the functioning of their own social brains. 
 
This book will captivate general listeners as well as clinicians and scientists who are interested in human social behavior, cognition, and emotion.

Empty Cages - Facing the...

Tom Regan

Described by Jeffrey Masson as "the single best introduction to animal rights ever written, Tom Regan's EMPTY CAGES stands as an essential guide to the ongoing animal rights debate. In a style at once simple and elegant, Regan dispels the negative image of animal rights advocates as portrayed by the mass media, unmasks the fraudulent rhetoric of "humane treatment" favored by animal exploiters in both familiar and less well-documented contexts, and explains why existing laws function to legitimize institutional cruelty. In so doing, Regan invites readers to join the struggle for animal rights—one person at a time, one step at a time. Written by the leading philosophical spokesperson for animal rights, Tom Regan's shocking exposé of animal abuse makes an essential and lasting contribution to how animal rights is viewed in the United States and around the world.
"Tom Regan delivers a searing indictment of the way we treat animals in the world we have made for ourselves, and presents a trenchant case that animals have or should have rights in the same way that human beings have."—J. M. Coetzee, winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize for Literature
"Every so often a book is written that is destined to change the way people think. Tom Regan has written just such a book. EMPTY CAGES is compelling because it is logical, rational, and written in an elegantly simple style. Please buy this book, read it, and tell your friends about it. Everyone needs a copy on their bookshelf."—Jane Goodall
"Tom Regan's EMPTY CAGES is a powerful call for justice on one of the most urgent issues human society faces. Calmly, lucidly, he asks readers to confront the miserable conditions we have inflicted on animals, leaving us with three choices: find a flaw in the argument, work for change, or throw the book away and try to forget it. The indelible force of Regan's argument makes the third course very difficult."—Martha C. Nussbaum, University of Chicago
