Sinopse

Cold Zone Tactics explores the science and strategies essential for surviving in extreme cold, drawing from scientific research and historical polar expeditions. The book emphasizes understanding the human body's metabolic response to cold, highlighting how factors like body composition and acclimatization affect thermoregulation. One intriguing insight is learning to calculate individual caloric needs in cold environments, crucial for preventing hypothermia.

 
The book also details energy conservation techniques, moving beyond basic warm clothing to explain layering principles and efficient movement. Constructing effective arctic shelters is another key focus, analyzing designs from snow caves to insulated tents.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core scientific principles, and then building upon these to demonstrate their practical application in real-world survival scenarios. Ultimately, Cold Zone Tactics empowers readers to develop effective survival strategies, mitigate risks, and increase their chances of success in any cold environment.

  • The Progress Illusion - Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics - cover

    The Progress Illusion -...

    In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
     
     
     
    While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

    An ambitious account of the evolution and biology of insects. 
     
    Insects are the most successful group of animals ever to have lived. They comprise a million species and perhaps 10 quintillion individuals: one in every four animals on the planet is a beetle; one in every ten is a butterfly or moth. Much of life on earth depends on the activities of these busy, teeming arthropods, from pollination to the breaking down of waste matter. 
     
    In Alien Worlds, Steve Nicholls draws on a lifetime of writing about, photographing and filming the natural world to create an ambitious account of insect evolution and biology. Each chapter of Alien Worlds centres on one or more of the traits of insect life that have allowed them to hold dominion over the earth's terrestrial and freshwater environments for so long, from their staggering reproductive ability to their complex partnership with flowering plants, and from their remarkable level of care for their young to their sophisticated social lives. 
     
    Alien Worlds explores what insects are, and why there are so many of them; the impact on insects (the only flying invertebrates) of the possession of wings; and the extraordinary sensory world of insects.
