  In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

  In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. Slack also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution. 
   
   
   
  An ideal guide for anyone curious about what genes are and how genetics can be put to use, this Very Short Introduction demonstrates the ways in which the gene concept has been understood and used by molecular biologists, population biologists, and social scientists around the world.

  Original Works by Dr Buteyko and...

  This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB ( Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing ) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. His visionary and disciplined approach to healing was so successful that it threatened the medical establishment which unfortunately reacted by trying to suppress it but it managed to survive because of his independent mind, tenacity, and determined character. 
  The interviews complement each other well, adding interesting details of his life and work and also supporting the previously translated important 1969 Buteyko Lecture at the Moscow State University which sums up his achievement to that date and then adds information on the subsequent development of his thinking. 
  Here is a summary of the main chapters: 
  1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. 
  2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail. 
  3. Large practical guide ( CEOB Breath Retraining Manual ) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting. 
  4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program 
  5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective. 
  6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia.
