Sinopse

Palm Oil Debate offers a nuanced exploration of the complex environmental and economic impacts of palm oil, a globally ubiquitous commodity. It moves beyond simplistic narratives to examine the environmental consequences, economic benefits, and sustainability efforts associated with its production. While palm oil is a significant economic driver for many nations, its cultivation also contributes to deforestation, habitat loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. The book uniquely argues that a complete boycott isn't the most effective solution; instead, it champions sustainable practices and supply chain transparency. 

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the history and basic concepts of palm oil, then delving into the core issues such as environmental impact and socio-economic factors. It also explores potential solutions like certification schemes and government policies. Readers will gain insights into the globalized economics of palm production and consumption, following supply chains from their sources to markets, while also investigating the social contexts of areas that cultivate Palm Oil and how the palm oil industry affects the people who live there.

The Eye and I

Dr. Johan Zwaan

This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.
