Sinopse

Safer Food Packaging explores the health and environmental impacts of food packaging, particularly the risks associated with chemicals leaching from conventional plastics. It highlights the presence of substances like phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) in many plastics, which studies suggest can disrupt endocrine function and may have carcinogenic effects. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these risks for making informed consumer choices.

 
The book examines readily available, cost-effective alternatives to plastic, such as plant-based materials, biodegradable polymers, glass, and metal. It adopts a holistic approach, considering both the health and environmental implications of packaging choices, presenting scientific evidence in an accessible manner.

 
Beginning with an overview of current packaging materials, the book progresses to detail health risks linked to plastic additives and then explores alternative packaging solutions.

 
Ultimately, Safer Food Packaging advocates for transitioning to sustainable alternatives to protect public health and reduce environmental burdens, providing practical guidelines for consumers and businesses alike. It aims to empower readers to make informed purchasing decisions and advocate for safer packaging policies by understanding the full life cycle and potential impacts of different packaging materials.

The Software Engineer's...

Gergely Orosz

In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance.
By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions.
This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more.
This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers.
We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally.
Praise for the book
“From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path
"Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify

Nightingales Bluebirds and...

Elise Baker

The World Wars of the 20th century caused massive upheavals all over the world. Often overlooked by history are the extraordinary true-life stories of the brave women from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who enlisted in the Allied forces in their thousands to serve as nurses behind the front lines, at great danger to themselves. And while men shot to kill in the North African, European, and the Pacific theaters of war, nurses served right behind them, armed with tools of healing rather than warfare. 
These untold true stories of women heroes of WWII paint a vivid picture of life as a military nurse—from makeshift field hospitals in France to bombed-out station hospitals in Belgium to journeys fraught with danger on ambulance trains, air ambulances, and hospital ships. 
Inside Nightingales, Bluebirds & Angels of Mercy: True Stories of the Courage and Heroism of Nurses on the Front Line in WWII, you’ll learn the true stories of nurses in the Second World War, including 
●      what it was like for a woman to join the armed services as a nurse and travel across the world to do her duty, 
●      the challenges and dangers the Allied nurses faced on the front lines, as well as the camaraderie and wartime romances they experienced, 
●      how these women confronted changing social norms around gender and race, 
●      true stories of survival at the hands of enemy forces in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, and more. 
The stories of these brave women are an inspiring record of duty and selflessness. If you haven’t yet met heroes such as Vivian Bullwinkel and Margot Turner, you’ll definitely want to listen to this book.
