Summary

Mining Power Usage tackles the growing concerns surrounding the significant power consumption of cryptocurrency mining and its environmental impact. As digital currencies become more prevalent, understanding the energy demands, carbon footprint, and long-term sustainability of blockchain technologies is crucial. The book reveals how mining has evolved from individual enthusiasts to large-scale industrial operations and emphasizes the need for transparency regarding energy practices within the cryptocurrency industry. For example, the "proof-of-work" consensus mechanism, vital for maintaining decentralized networks, demands immense computational power and electricity.

 
The book progresses by first introducing cryptocurrency mining fundamentals, then analyzing its environmental impact, including carbon emissions and e-waste. The book delves into how different cryptocurrencies and mining hardware vary in energy efficiency.

 
Ultimately, it proposes solutions, such as renewable energy adoption and regulatory frameworks, for a sustainable crypto ecosystem. This book uniquely combines technical analysis with practical solutions, offering a balanced view suitable for environmental scientists, tech enthusiasts, and policymakers alike.

    The starting point for In Deep Water: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. 
 
 
 
But, observes Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability. They see the world through crisis-colored glasses. Climate change is creating a spiritual emergency that is hitting their generation harder than any other. 
 
 
 
Today's climate crisis calls people of faith to a communal spiritual practice of care, especially for those who are more vulnerable because of their youth—the children, youth, and young adults of Generation Z. We must learn how to offer spiritual care that is informed by the spiritual-ecological crisis of their generation. 
 
 
 
This book will help you keep young people at the center of your community and listen to the troubles they have to share. Whether you are a Gen Z peer or a caring adult of any other generation, In Deep Water will show you how to offer ecologically informed spiritual care. 
 
 
 
We all need to do it today; we cannot wait until one of today's youngest generations grows up.

    Medications such as Vioxx and procedures such as vertebroplasty for back pain are among the medical "advances" that turned out to be dangerous or useless. What Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad and Dr. Adam S. Cifu call medical reversal happens when doctors start using a medication, procedure, or diagnostic tool without a robust evidence base—and then stop using it when it is found not to help, or even to harm, patients.In Ending Medical Reversal, Drs. Prasad and Cifu narrate fascinating stories from every corner of medicine to explore why medical reversals occur, how they are harmful, and what can be done to avoid them. They explore the difference between medical innovations that improve care and those that only appear to be promising. They also outline a comprehensive plan to reform medical education, research funding and protocols, and the process for approving new drugs that will ensure that more of what gets done in doctors' offices and hospitals is truly effective.
