Synopsis

Fast Fashion Costs uncovers the hidden environmental and social price tags attached to trendy, inexpensive clothing. It explores how the rapid production cycle fuels environmental degradation through intensive resource use, pollution from textile dyeing, and massive textile waste. Did you know that cotton farming's heavy reliance on water and pesticides contributes significantly to environmental damage? Or that synthetic fabrics add to the problem, as they are non-biodegradable and increase carbon footprint? 

 
The book also sheds light on labor exploitation in garment factories globally, where workers face low wages and unsafe conditions. The pursuit of low prices often destabilizes local economies, perpetuating poverty and economic imbalances.

 
This book highlights that the fast fashion model is unsustainable and socially unjust, presenting a critical analysis of the industry's impacts and a call for ethical consumerism and responsible practices. The book progresses across chapters that thoroughly investigate environmental degradation, ethical labor concerns, and economic imbalances, presenting facts and analysis to support its central argument.

Emergency Management

07

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Emergency situations during a flight can vary in type and characteristics, including in-flight emergencies, ground emergencies, immediate emergencies, non-immediate emergencies or urgencies, among several other categories. The truth is that each aircraft may present a unique type of emergency, making it impossible to learn how to manage all possible emergencies in the aviation field. 
	However, it is possible to learn how to manage cockpit resources to control the emergency and minimize its effects. Cockpit resource management in an emergency not only refers to the various systems of the aircraft, but also to human resources (the pilots) and external resources (air traffic control, company operations, etc.). 
	In this work, you will learn the main theoretical concepts of emergencies in general, and how to manage the main emergencies of a small aircraft (Cessna 172), a mid-sized aircraft (Cessna 218 Grand Caravan), and a large aircraft such as the fabulous Airbus A320.

The Social Genome - The New...

Dalton Conley

A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
 
 
 
Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
 
 
 
The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

Deepwater Alchemy - Extractive...

Lisa Yin Han

How underwater mediation has transformed deep-sea spaces into resource-rich frontiers 
 
 
 
Green energy technologies such as windmills, solar panels, and electric vehicles may soon depend on material found at the seabed. How did a space once imagined to be empty and unfathomable come to be thought of as a treasure trove of resources? Lisa Yin Han traces how contemporary developments in underwater sensing and imaging materially and imaginatively transmogrify the ocean bottom into a resource frontier capable of sustaining a digitally connected global future. 
 
 
 
Set against the backdrop of climate change, energy transition, and the expansion of industrial offshore extractions, Deepwater Alchemy looks at oceanic media and its representation of the seabed in terms of valuable resources. From high-tech simulations to laboratories and archives that collect and analyze sediments, Han explores the media technologies that survey, visualize, and condition the possibility for industrial resource extraction, introducing the concept of extractive mediation to describe the conflations between resource prospecting and undersea knowledge production. Moving away from anthropocentric frameworks, she argues that we must equalize access to deep ocean mediation and include the submerged perspectives of multispecies communities.
