Synopsis

At sea, on land or from the air – spectacular and oftentimes dangerous actions make Greenpeace world-famous and successful. Non-violent and uncompromising: For five decades the environmental activists take a stand for the wonders of our planet, fight for climate protection and develop solutions for the most imminent environmental problems of our time.

This illustrated book documents the greatest and most important Greenpeace actions of all times: from the first protests against nucelar tests in Alaska to today's campaigns against  deforestation of the rainforest and over-fishing of the oceans. Short, concise texts and numerous large-sized photos focus on the visual effect and enormous power of the environmental movement. Thrilling, rousing, outstanding!

• Exceptional illustrated book on 50 years of Greenpeace: fascinating photos of the history of the biggest environmental organisation
• Numerous large-sized, moving photos of the greatest and most important Greenpeace campaigns and demonstrations worldwide
• Short text with background information on selected Greenpeace actions

Their story reminds one of David and Goliath: Greenpeace activists demand and foster the protection of nature and mankind and do not shy away from conflicts with politicians, major corporations and destroyers of the environment. With thrilling photos, this book shows how groundbreaking their actions really are. Pictures of environmetal pollution and destruction contrast photos that show the outstanding campaigns against it. Large-format photos put you close to the action and give you a first-hand experience of the greatest actions for environment protection all around the world. Unique insights into 50 years of Greenpeace history!

    Have you been plagued with boils, cysts, ingrown hairs, and acne-like bumps that take months to resolve, leave embarrassing scars, and cause considerable pain? Have you been to the doctor, only to leave with a prescription for antibiotics, few answers, and little to no hope? Hidradenitis supprativa (HS) is a poorly understood skin condition that is believed to affect nearly 12 million people in the US alone. Only a small fraction of those affected have been properly diagnosed, leaving many others to suffer in silence or pursue ill-advised conventional treatment methods that fail to address the cause of this painful condition. Tara Grant, a twenty-year sufferer of HS, has become an underground legend to her Internet community of HS victims by presenting a methodical, self-tested action plan to heal naturally. The centerpiece of her holistic approach rests on the understanding that HS is an autoimmune disorder caused by leaky gut syndrome. With a few simple dietary changes that eliminate certain trigger' foods, you can heal your gut, restore your skin, reclaim your health, and rid yourself of HS symptoms forever. That means no antibiotics, no experimental surgeries, and no more pain, suffering, or confusion. 
    You will learn to adopt a big picture perspective about disease and dysfunction, and understand how autoimmunity (the body attacking itself in an adverse manner) represents the root cause of many frustrating chronic health conditions. By modifying your diet and other lifestyle habits, you can break free from the suffering, frustration and uncertainty that seems to go hand in hand with autoimmune conditions and skin conditions like HS in particular. The Hidden Plague is a fabulous and comprehensive resource for not just HS specifically, but many other related inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

    All of us have things we want to change about ourselves. 
    All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money. 
    And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavour to do something about it. That normally involves beginning a new training program, or it means investing money, or changing bank account. 
    We make a huge effort to make these changes, but we seldom end up getting the results we want. In fact, many people have completely given up on the hope that they can EVER change. 
    Why is that? 
    Normally, it’s because we approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results. 
    But that’s not how improvement really works.

    This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focusses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe. But upon turning to the "pure" unitary quantum physics explaining the nature of matter one is dealing with the strictly a-causal time expressed through the thermal quantum field theory machinery. When this a-causal microscopic and causal macroscopic world meet, one encounters the wavefunction collapse, that itself may be rooted in the quantum-gravity conflict. Modern ideas are discussed resting on eigenstate thermalization showing how this may lie eventually at the origin of irreversible thermodynamics. The case is anchored in the sophisticated modern mathematical machinery of both general relativity and quantum physics which is normally barely disseminated beyond the theoretical physics floors. 
     
     
     
    The book is unique in the regard that the consequences of this machinery are explained in an original, descriptive language conveying the conceptual consequences while avoiding mathematical technicalities.

    Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. 
     
     
     
    Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. 
     
     
     
    Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?
