Synopsis

"Radiation in Daily Life" explores the often-overlooked radiation we encounter daily from electronic devices and building materials. It highlights how our modern reliance on technology and specific construction choices can lead to constant exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation and ionizing radiation. The book emphasizes that while radiation is a natural phenomenon, understanding its sources and potential risks empowers us to make informed decisions for a healthier environment. 

 
For instance, did you know that some granite countertops can emit ionizing radiation, or that the intensity of EMF radiation decreases rapidly with distance, following the inverse square law? 

 
The book starts by laying a foundation of understanding with the basics of radiation and radioactivity. It then progresses into detailed discussions about EMF radiation from devices like smartphones and Wi-Fi routers, as well as ionizing radiation from materials like certain tiles. Finally, it addresses the potential biological effects of chronic low-level exposure. 

 
By connecting physics, biology, environmental science, and electronics, the book provides a balanced assessment, avoiding alarmism while providing practical strategies for reducing radiation exposure at home and in the workplace.

    Animals Without Backbones has been considered a classic among biology textbooks since it was first published to great acclaim in 1938. It was the first biology textbook ever reviewed by Time and was also featured with illustrations in Life. Harvard, Stanford, the University of Chicago, and more than eighty other colleges and universities adopted it for use in courses. Since then, its clear explanations and ample illustrations have continued to introduce hundreds of thousands of students and general readers around the world to jellyfishes, corals, flatworms, squids, starfishes, spiders, grasshoppers, and the other invertebrates that make up ninety-seven percent of the animal kingdom. This new edition has been completely rewritten and redesigned, but it retains the same clarity and careful scholarship that have earned this book its continuing readership for half a century. It is even more lavishly illustrated than earlier editions, incorporating many new drawings and photographs. Informative, concise legends that form an integral part of the text accompany the illustrations. The text has been updated to include findings from recent research. Eschewing pure morphology, the authors use each group of animals to introduce one or more biological principles. In recent decades, courses and texts on invertebrate zoology at many universities have been available only for advanced biology majors specializing in this area. The Third Edition of Animals Without Backbones remains an ideal introduction to invertebrates for lower-level biology majors, nonmajors, students in paleontology and other related fields, junior college and advanced high school students, and the general reader who pursues the rewarding study of the natural world.

    'If it can't be grown, it must be mined.' This fundamental truth underscores the global need for mining, and the reason why it has been carried out since prehistoric times. To supply the raw materials for buildings, industrial goods, vehicles, technology, and even art, minerals and rock must be removed from the Earth. 'Mining' describes this removal, but also covers the ore deposit exploration, developments of ore deposit models (geological, engineering and mineral economics-focused) and post-removal processing to extract the economically valuable materials, environmental protection, and social and corporate responsibility, in a construct known as the 'Mining Value Chain.' Mining continues to evolve due to the new emphasis on extracting a wider range of materials than ever before for green technologies, on using novel robotic and earth observation technology in exploration and mining, and on integrating environmental and social protection measures throughout the Mining Value Chain. Today's paradigms are 'sustainable' and 'responsible mining', mining that is profitable but protects the environment, human rights, and health. Mining: A Very Short Introduction covers this information and looks to the future to see where mining ideally will go.

    Urban Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the complex relationship between cities, their natural environments, and the sustainability of both. As the world becomes increasingly urbanized, understanding the environmental challenges and opportunities within urban settings is crucial for creating sustainable, livable cities. This chapter introduces the core principles of Urban Environmental Studies, outlining the essential role of urban ecosystems and their impact on the broader global environment. 
    Cities, as centers of human activity, consumption, and growth, have a significant effect on the planet's natural systems. The rapid expansion of urban areas, particularly in developing regions, has led to heightened concerns regarding air quality, water management, waste disposal, and biodiversity loss. These environmental issues are exacerbated by factors such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality, highlighting the need for integrated approaches to managing urban environments. 
    Urban Environmental Studies seeks to address these challenges by examining the ways in which cities interact with their surrounding ecosystems. It focuses on how urban areas can mitigate their environmental footprint while enhancing the quality of life for their inhabitants. Central to this field is the concept of sustainability—an approach that promotes the careful use of resources to meet the needs of present and future generations. This includes developing green infrastructure, managing natural resources efficiently, and creating green spaces that benefit both people and the environment.
