Summary

"Edible Packaging" explores the groundbreaking concept of using consumable materials to revolutionize food packaging, addressing the urgent need to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable practices. The book delves into the science and technology behind edible and biodegradable packaging, highlighting the use of biopolymers like polysaccharides and proteins to create films and coatings. These materials can be engineered for barrier properties and even flavor enhancement, offering a unique approach to reducing the environmental impact of food consumption. The book investigates the potential for composting and biodegradation, which offers significant environmental benefits. It critically examines the evolution of packaging from natural materials to plastics, emphasizing the current environmental crisis caused by overflowing landfills and ocean contamination. It progresses by first introducing the packaging landscape then delving into the science of edible films, manufacturing processes, and finally assessing the environmental impact and economic aspects. The book adopts a fact-based approach, presenting information in a clear and concise manner, making it valuable for researchers, students, policymakers, and environmentally conscious consumers alike. It also considers the challenges of scaling up production and maintaining food safety, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and future prospects of edible packaging.

    Dispersals - On Plants Borders...

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

    About Face - How Airway...

    Face size matters! 
    90% of the population reaches adulthood with underdeveloped midfaces and lower jaws. This causes lots of crowding—the teeth, tongue, tonsils, and adenoids are crowded. The nasal septum deviates to one side or the other, ears get congested. The airway is restricted, and the body responds by shifting into the Sympathetic Nervous System. Living in low-level sympathetic mode erodes health. This can contribute to anxiety, headaches, low thyroid, ADHD/ADD symptoms, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and many other common mental or physical health conditions. 
    Dr. Pomerance was part of that 90%. In About Face, she shares her Airway Dentistry expertise regarding face size and health outcomes stemming from years of continuing education, her personal health struggles, and decades of clinical experience, explaining:How facial underdevelopment happensWhat to do to avoid itHow to identify itHow to resolve the underdevelopment to restore health and wellbeing 
    Whether you're a dental professional or simply want to learn more about the subject to improve your quality of life, About Face provides a wealth of information and resources in an accessible, comprehensive format.

    A defense of agroecological, small-scale farming and a robust critique of an industrialized future.  
    As a breakdown of the climate, state power and globalized markets pushes us toward an epochal transition, Chris Smaje offers us a hopeful vision of a relocalized, self-sufficient world.—David Bollier  
    One of the few voices to challenge The Guardian's George Monbiot on the future of food and farming (and the restoration of nature) is academic, farmer and author of A Small Farm Future Chris Smaje. In Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future, Smaje presents his defense of small-scale farming and a robust critique of Monbiot’s vision for an urban and industrialized future.  
    Responding to Monbiot’s portrayal of an urban, high-energy, industrially manufactured food future as the answer to our current crises, and its unchallenged acceptance within the environmental discourse, Smaje was compelled to challenge Monbiot’s evidence and conclusions. At the same time, Smaje presents his powerful counterargument – a low-carbon agrarian localism that puts power in the hands of local communities, not high-tech corporates.  
    In the ongoing fight for our food future, this book will help you to understand the difference between a congenial, ecological living and a dystopian, factory-centered existence. A must-read!
