Sinossi

"Skeleton Lake" unravels the mystery of Roopkund Lake, a high-altitude Himalayan lake famed for the hundreds of human skeletons surrounding its shores. Rejecting simple explanations, the book argues that these remains are not the result of a single catastrophic event, but rather multiple incidents occurring over centuries. This conclusion comes from synthesizing Earth Sciences, Geography, and History to examine archaeological findings, DNA analysis, radiocarbon dating, and climatological research. The book presents a detailed investigation, beginning with the lake's geography and the discovery of the skeletons. DNA analyses revealed that the skeletons belong to distinct groups, including individuals with Mediterranean ancestry and local South Asians, while radiocarbon dating spans centuries. The book uniquely integrates climatological research, exploring extreme weather events in the Himalayas that may have contributed to these deaths. By combining these diverse pieces of evidence, "Skeleton Lake" provides a comprehensive and accessible account of this intriguing unsolved mystery. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, starting with the initial discovery and archaeological context, progressing through DNA and radiocarbon analysis, and culminating in a climatological examination. This approach moves beyond speculation, offering a data-driven interpretation that appeals to those interested in archaeology, ancient history, and the challenges of reconstructing past events. The book emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in understanding human migration, climate change impacts, and the interpretation of archaeological evidence.

    Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
    The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
    As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

  • Food Health and Climate - Why It Is Absolutely Necessary to Reduce Our Consumption of Meat And Other Animal Products - cover

    Food Health and Climate - Why It...

    By favoring mostly plant-based foods, we can actually save the world – and live longer, healthier lives. 
    A shift to mostly plant-based diets and new food technologies could solve our most important and pressing global problems. Issues like climate change, hunger, freshwater shortages, the Sixth Extinction, antibiotic resistance, and the threat of new pandemics might just melt away with the new food revolution. 
    According to official estimates, meat and other animal-based products account for around 20% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real figure must be significantly higher. Emissions from soils of grazing lands and fields growing cattle feed have not been included in the official statistics. Methane emissions from polluted lakes, rivers, reservoirs and shallow seas are still classified as natural emissions. Besides, cattle raising and fields growing animal feed threaten to transform the whole Amazonian rainforest to semi-dry savannah. If this happens, animal agriculture will become, overwhelmingly, the main driver for global warming. 
    Food, Health and Climate explains why it is not possible to halt global warming without reducing meat consumption. On the other hand, if we manage to shift to more sustainable eating habits, billions of hectares of land will be freed from animal farming and could be used to grow new conservation and carbon-sink forests, or to produce raw materials for new wood- and biomass-based products that could replace metals, concrete, plastics, and chemicals.
