    Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

    For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
 
Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.

    The Regulated Woman - Safety...

    She held it together for everyone else. She was the steady one. The prepared one. The one who kept it all running. And somewhere along the way, she stopped being sure who she was outside of that role. 
The Regulated Woman is not a guide. It is not a program. It is not asking you to change anything. 
It is a book of recognition, written for women who have adapted quietly, carried more than they were given language for, and lived in a state of readiness so long that it became their identity. 
Across 45 chapters, this book names the patterns that form when a woman's nervous system learns to prioritise others before herself, and what it looks like when that begins, quietly and without force, to change. 
This is not about fixing. It is about being seen. 
Written by Jyee Byrne, founder of Wolfpack Support Services and creator of The Wolfpack Way framework. Part of The Wolfpack Way series.
