  Ireland has little left of its original natural habitats. Many species, like the curlew, are under pressure due to intensive practices such as farming, forestry and fisheries and some are threatened with extinction. But given a little help from us, nature has the innate capacity to restore itself.
  
  
  Nature restoration is the positive management of the environment for the benefit of wildlife and people. It looks to the future, by steering natural habitats and wildlife in a better and more sustainable direction.
  
  
  In Future Wild: Nature Restoration in Ireland, Richard Nairn explores numerous active restoration projects around Ireland which show how natural habitats and native species can be restored sustainably for the benefit of everyone. From individual landowners and voluntary organisations to state bodies such as Bord na Móna, he meets the people who are dedicated to nature restoration.
  
  
  By turns shocking, hopeful and finally positive, Future Wild shows that the damage we have done to nature can also be undone by us, and that, with nature restoration, we can create a richer and more diverse environment for generations to come.

  The speed of technological development, from cell phones to artificial intelligence, opens up exciting new opportunities for promoting human flourishing. It also raises grave risks, threatening not only personal privacy and dignity but also our collective survival. Technologies of Human Rights Representation brings together three fields of research critical to securing our future: changing technologies, human rights, and representation. For each of these fields, this book asks key questions: How can we open the black box of technological advances so that we can more fully understand their effects upon our lives? What can we do to make sure that these effects align with the values of human rights? And how does the way we talk about technology and rights—from military reports and corporate marketing to human rights reports and poetry—amplify or diminish our capacity both to understand and to control what happens next? Contributors from anthropology, communications, criminology, global studies, law, literary and cultural studies, and women and gender studies bring diverse methodological approaches to these crucial questions.

  Parasitology - How These Tiny...

  Parasites are among the most successful and adaptable organisms on Earth, yet they often go unnoticed. From microscopic protozoa to large intestinal worms, these creatures have evolved remarkable strategies to exploit their hosts for survival. They infiltrate nearly every ecosystem, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains, shaping the health, behavior, and evolution of countless species, including humans. Despite their negative reputation, parasites play an integral role in maintaining ecological balance, influencing biodiversity, and even driving evolutionary changes. 
  One of the most astonishing aspects of parasites is their sheer ubiquity. They infect nearly every living organism, from plants and insects to birds and mammals. Some parasites, like malaria-causing Plasmodium, have coexisted with humans for thousands of years, evolving alongside us in an ongoing battle for survival. Others, such as the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii, subtly manipulate the behavior of their hosts to improve their chances of transmission. The ability of parasites to adapt to new environments and hosts makes them a fascinating subject of study, particularly as climate change and globalization increase their spread. 
  While parasites are often viewed as destructive, their influence extends far beyond causing disease. Many parasites regulate host populations, preventing overgrowth and maintaining ecological stability. Some even shape the behaviors of their hosts in ways that benefit entire ecosystems.
