Sinopsis

Frozen Trade examines the increasing economic activities in the Arctic and Antarctic and their impact on the environment and indigenous communities. The book highlights the critical balance between economic development, ecological preservation, and social justice in these fragile polar zones. It explores how industries like fishing, mining, and tourism are reshaping these regions, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and equitable benefits for local communities. A key insight reveals the tension between short-term economic gains and the long-term ecological consequences, including the impact on the global climate system.

 
The book takes a systematic approach, beginning with an introduction to the unique ecosystems and indigenous cultures of the Arctic and Antarctic. It then delves into detailed analyses of the fishing, mining, and tourism sectors, assessing their economic contributions alongside their environmental and social costs. By integrating scientific reports, economic analyses, and ethnographic studies, Frozen Trade provides a holistic understanding of the factors influencing these regions.

 
The book advocates for a shift towards responsible, community-led development that prioritizes environmental protection and social equity, offering valuable insights for policymakers and concerned citizens alike.

    “I often talk about the importance of trust when it comes to work: the trust of your employees and building trust with your customers. This book provides a blueprint for how to build and maintain that trust and connection in a digital environment.” —Eric S. Yuan, founder and CEO of Zoom 
    A Harvard Business School professor and leading expert in virtual and global work provides remote workers and leaders with the best practices necessary to perform at the highest levels in their organizations.    
     
    The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by Covid-19 have accelerated the transition to remote working, requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to virtual work in just weeks, leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust. This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint, using cloud, storage, cybersecurity, and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce. 
    Experiencing the benefits of remote working—including nonexistent commute times, lower operational costs, and a larger pool of global job applicants—many companies, including Twitter and Google, plan to permanently incorporate remote days or give employees the option to work from home full-time. But virtual work has it challenges. Employees feel lost, isolated, out of sync, and out of sight. They want to know how to build trust, maintain connections without in-person interactions, and a proper work/life balance. Managers want to know how to lead virtually, how to keep their teams motivated, what digital tools they’ll need, and how to keep employees productive. 
    Providing compelling, evidence-based answers to these and other pressing issues, Remote Work Revolution is essential for navigating the enduring challenges teams and managers face. Filled with specific actionable steps and interactive tools, this timely book will help team members deliver results previously out of reach. Following Neeley’s advice, employees will be able to break through routine norms to successfully use remote work to benefit themselves, their groups, and ultimately their organizations.

    A bold examination of how Paleolithic wisdom could solve our 21st century problems 
     
    Jessica Carew Kraft, an urban wife and mom of two, was firmly rooted in the modern world, complete with a high-powered career in tech and the sneaking suspicion that her lifestyle was preventing her and her family from truly thriving.  
     
    Determined to find a better way, Jessica quit her job and set out to learn about “rewilding” from people who reject the comforts and convenience of civilization by using ancient tools and skills to survive. Along the way, she learned how to turn sticks into fire, stones into axes, and  
    bones into tools for harvesting wild food—and found an entire community walking the path back from our technologyfocused, anxiety-ridden way of life to a simpler, more human experience. 
     
    Weaving deep research and reportage with her own personal journey, Jessica tells the remarkable story of the potential benefits rewilding has for us and our planet and questions what it truly means to be a human in today’s world. Why We Need to Be Wild is a thought-provoking,  
    unforgettable narrative that illuminates how we survived in the past, how we live now, and how each of us can choose to thrive in the years ahead.

    The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
    The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
    Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
    “Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
    Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
    “The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
    Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
    Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
    - Anxiety disorder 
    - Heart disease 
    - Tinnitus 
    - Obesity 
    - Alcohol addiction 
    - Migraines 
    - Alzheimer’s 
    - Leaky gut 
    - Bad blood circulation 
    - Mood disorder 
    - CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.

    This is a book about ocean racing – a personal view of the events and an account of one of the most successful individual records ever made by a designer and skipper. In 1965 Dick Carter was a good skipper, but an unknown designer. His first design was Rabbit, which Sandy Weld helped launch, tune and race. They won the Fastnet Race in its first season and Dick Carter grew an international reputation. The Leading Edge depicts the intense competition of crews dedicated to winning and the camaraderie and enthusiasm of those who participate in this demanding sport. It is an appreciation of Dick Carter's designs and his skill as a skipper. It is also the story of the extraordinary success of his first design, Rabbit, and the next three designs he skippered: Tina, Rabbit II and Red Rooster – the latter which also won the Fastnet Race and the Admiral's Cup. Weld's racing experience provides a fascinating account that will be of considerable use to the sailor and of absorbing interest to those who follow the sport.
