Sinopsis

Giant Insects explores the captivating world of oversized arthropods that once roamed the Earth, delving into the science behind their remarkable sizes. It uncovers how specific environmental conditions, such as elevated atmospheric oxygen levels during the Carboniferous period, enabled these giants to thrive. Meganeura, a dragonfly with a 70-centimeter wingspan, exemplifies this era of insect gigantism. The book uniquely integrates paleontology, entomology, and climate science to understand what facilitated and constrained insect size, offering valuable insights into insect evolution and environmental influences.

 
The book progresses through different geological eras, analyzing fossil records and physiological studies. It examines the interplay between insect size and factors like predation from early reptiles and the evolution of plant life. Modern-day giants, such as the Goliath beetle, are also examined, providing a comparative analysis with their prehistoric counterparts.

 
By connecting fossil evidence with contemporary physiological and ecological findings, Giant Insects provides a comprehensive, data-driven perspective on insect gigantism and the environmental factors shaping life on Earth.

    The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.

    What you eat doesn’t just impact you – it shapes the world around you. 
    Wonderfully enlightening and engagingly written. Dr Idz 
    If you are looking at ways to combat the exploitation of the planet this book is for you. Rhiannon Lambert 
    Well Fed is a vital tool in the ongoing battle against nutrition misinformation. Robbie Lockie, Plant Based News 
    –– 
    In Well Fed, James Collier, former NHS dietitian and co-founder of Huel, is on a mission to debunk the myths about food and nutrition to reveal why what we eat is not only having a devastating impact on our health, but also on our planet. 
    The industrialisation of our food system has wreaked havoc on earth's natural biodiversity, diminished the nutritional value of the food that is produced and has been a major contributor to global warming. The result? A planet in crisis and a surge in diseases of excess. 
    By challenging conventional wisdom and embracing a more balanced and nuanced approach, Collier shows that we can:Improve our health by boosting physical and mental well-beingProtect the planet by reducing our environmental impactSupport our communities in fostering a more sustainable food system 
    Supercharge your health with Collier's five pillars of contemplative nutrition, which offer a simple, holistic solution to inspire a sustainable approach to food. 
    The future of food, our health and the planet is in our hands. Let's act now.  
    In Well Fed, James Collier takes us on a journey through the world of food policy and conservation, highlighting the urgent need for change. His scientific approach to the subject, combined with his passion for nature and ecology, makes this a must-read for anyone interested in the future of our planet.

    Everyday suffering—those conditions or feelings brought on by trying circumstances that arise in everyone’s lives—is something that humans have grappled with for millennia. But the last decades have seen a drastic change in the way we approach it. In the past, a person going through a time of difficulty might keep a journal or see a therapist, but now the psychological has been replaced by the biological: instead of treating the heart, soul, and mind, we take a pill to treat the brain. 
     
    Chemically Imbalanced is a field report on how ordinary people dealing with common problems explain their suffering, how they’re increasingly turning to the thin and mechanistic language of the “body/brain,” and what these encounters might tell us. Drawing on interviews with people dealing with struggles such as underperformance in school or work, grief after the end of a relationship, or disappointment with how their life is unfolding, Joseph E. Davis reveals the profound revolution in consciousness that is underway. We now see suffering as an imbalance in the brain that needs to be fixed, usually through chemical means. This has rippled into our social and cultural conversations, and it has affected how we, as a society, imagine ourselves and envision what constitutes a good life. Davis warns that what we envision as a neurological revolution, in which suffering is a mechanistic problem, has troubling and entrapping consequences. And he makes the case that by turning away from an interpretive, meaning-making view of ourselves, we thwart our chances to enrich our souls and learn important truths about ourselves and the social conditions under which we live.
