Bad Air - What are we Breathing?

Kevin B DiBacco

Sinopse

In an age where we obsess over the food we eat and the water we drink, we rarely think about our most immediate environmental interaction: breathing. "Bad Air" pulls back the curtain on the complex cocktail of pollutants we inhale every day, from the subtle chemicals off-gassing from our furniture to the industrial emissions reshaping our atmosphere.
Author Kevin B. DiBacco takes readers on a compelling journey through the science of air quality, breaking down complex concepts into digestible insights that will forever change how you think about the air around you. The book combines cutting-edge research with practical solutions, offering readers both understanding and actionable steps for protection.
From the shocking truth about indoor air (often more polluted than outdoors) to the hidden dangers in "clean" scents, each chapter reveals another layer of our air quality crisis. But rather than just sound alarms, "Bad Air" empowers readers with specific strategies for creating cleaner air spaces in their homes, offices, and communities.
Whether you're a parent concerned about your children's health, a professional looking to optimize your work environment, or simply someone who breathes, this book provides essential knowledge for navigating our increasingly polluted world. With detailed guides for choosing air purifiers, understanding air quality indexes, and recognizing early warning signs of poor air quality, "Bad Air" serves as both a wake-up call and a practical manual for better breathing.

Under the Henfluence - Inside...

Tove Danovich

Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
 
 
 
From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

Standing for Nature - Legal...

Mohammad Golam Sarwar, Dana...

Rights of Nature laws are becoming a vital tool for addressing environmental injustice. From New Zealand and India to Ecuador and Bolivia, advocates have successfully secured legal rights for rivers, forests, and mountains. Granting rights to nature has the potential to expand environmental protections, strengthen indigenous rights, promote sustainable development, and alter how humans relate to nature. Despite these promises, rights of Nature laws have met with greater resistance in some countries than in others. 
 
 
 
Standing for Nature offers advocates a blueprint for creating, implementing, and safeguarding rights of Nature laws. This book looks closely at four examples—New Zealand, Colombia, Bangladesh, and the United States—to explain why these laws have been successful in some places but not others. Through this comparative exploration, the authors highlight key strategies for advancing rights of Nature laws in the United States and around the world. These lessons include an examination of different legal traditions to better understand which is the best form of law—judicial, legislative, or regulatory—for advocates to target; how to ensure effective implementation once a law is passed; and how to shift communal perspectives on the human-Nature relationship for better implementation and enforcement.
