Sinopse

The "Global Fishing Industry" explores the critical balance between utilizing our oceans for food and protecting marine ecosystems. It examines how global fishing practices, from small local operations to large-scale industrial ventures, impact food security while also contributing to overfishing. Understanding these impacts is crucial, especially given that unchecked fishing practices could lead to irreversible ecological damage and long-term food shortages.

 
The book traces the evolution of fishing technologies, highlighting the rise of industrial fishing and the growing demand for seafood. It delves into how practices like bottom trawling, bycatch, and habitat destruction affect marine biodiversity, even leading to fisheries collapses.

 
A key focus is on sustainable solutions like marine protected areas and catch quotas, analyzing their social, economic, and political effects.

 
This book progresses systematically, beginning with an overview of the industry's scale and economic significance, then moves into ecological consequences, and concludes with conservation strategies. It emphasizes the need for a transition to sustainable fishing practices guided by scientific data and international cooperation, offering a balanced perspective suitable for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and anyone interested in marine conservation.

Archaeopteryx The: The History...

Editors Charles River

The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable.
The movie also popularized pterodactyls, and the concept of flying dinosaurs fascinates people. There is no doubt that Archaeopteryx, which lived over 150 million years ago, was one of the earliest birds or avialans (bird-like creatures), and when the first fossil of it was discovered, it was hailed as a potential missing link between dinosaurs and birds. The name Archaeopteryx comes from Greek, the word for “ancient” and the term for “wing” or “feather.” The creature is occasionally referenced by the German, “Urvogel,” which literally means “primeval bird.” From the known species of Archaeopteryx, the creature grew no longer than half a meter (20 inches), including its long, bony tail. Despite its bird-like appearance, scientists point out that the genus has far more in common with the dinosaurs of its day than with the thousands of bird species of our modern age.
Over time, however, others would argue it was actually the missing link between birds and other reptiles. Meanwhile, the debate over whether it was the first avialan came and went, as it was discovered to not be the first.

Death by Dogma - The biological...

Jeremy Griffith

Death by Dogma is a companion to THE Interview, the transcript of biologist Jeremy Griffith's ground-breaking interview that solves the human condition and saves the world - an interview described by Professor Harry Prosen, a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, as 'the most important interview of all time'! 
In Death by Dogma, Griffith explains that the Left's dogmatic insistence that everyone behave in a cooperative and loving way makes its advocates feel good but it oppresses and stifles the freedom of expression needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of the human condition that actually brings about a cooperative and loving world. Dogma is not the cure, it's the poison because it blocks the search for the rehabilitating understanding of ourselves that's needed to actually save the world. George Orwell's famous prediction that 'If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face [the human mind] for ever' was about to come true - but mercifully, science has finally made it possible to explain the human condition and save us from this makes-you-feel-good-but-is-actually-horrifically-selfish-and-deluded left-wing threat of the Death by Dogma extinction of our species!

Androids - The Team that Built...

Chet Haase

The fascinating inside story of how the Android operating system came to be. 
 
 
 
In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. 
 
 
 
Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System is a first-hand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications, and everything in between. It describes the tenuous beginnings of this ambitious project as a tiny startup, then as a small acquisition by Google that took on an industry with strong, entrenched competition. Author Chet Haase joined the Android team at Google in May 2010 and later recorded conversations with team members to preserve the early days of Android's history leading to the launch of 1.0. This engaging and accessible book captures the developers' stories in their own voices to answer the question: How did Android succeed?
