Sinossi

Mercury in Seafood unravels the complexities of mercury contamination in our food supply, focusing on the health risks associated with fish consumption. It highlights how industrial pollution and natural processes lead to mercury accumulation in aquatic ecosystems, transforming into methylmercury, which concentrates in larger fish. Understanding this process is crucial, as mercury exposure can lead to neurological and developmental issues, emphasizing the need for informed dietary choices. The book uniquely balances the nutritional benefits of seafood, such as omega-3 fatty acids, against the potential dangers of mercury poisoning.

 
The book begins by explaining the fundamentals of mercury chemistry and its journey through the environment. It then moves into the science of bioaccumulation, illustrating how mercury levels increase up the food chain. Subsequent chapters explore the health effects of methylmercury exposure, supported by research, and provide a guide to safer seafood selections. By presenting scientific data in an accessible way, Mercury in Seafood empowers readers to make informed decisions, understand government advisories, and appreciate the role of sustainable fishing.

    Made in the USA - The Rise and...

    In Made in the USA, Vaclav Smil powerfully rebuts the notion that manufacturing is a relic of predigital history and that the loss of American manufacturing is a desirable evolutionary step toward a pure service economy. Smil argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates. 
     
     
      
    Smil explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance. He describes American manufacturing's rapid rise at the end of the nineteenth century, its consolidation and modernization between the two world wars, its role as an enabler of mass consumption after 1945, and its recent decline. Some economists argue that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little because the high-value work remains in the United States. But, asks Smil, do we want a society that consists of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed? 
     
     
      
    Smil assesses various suggestions for solving America’s manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education. Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? It is crucial to our social and economic well-being; but, Smil warns, the odds are no better than even.

    Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon's tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet?
    In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people's hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!).
    Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee's own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain.
    PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!
