Synopsis

"Rice and Survival" examines rice’s central role in global food security, particularly in crisis regions. The book highlights the biological, historical, and socio-economic factors impacting rice production and distribution. It emphasizes that sustainable rice cultivation is critical for stability and survival, especially where food scarcity exacerbates political and humanitarian crises.

 
Did you know that rice cultivation significantly shaped agrarian societies across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, influencing trade, conflict, and cultural development?

 
The book integrates perspectives from world history, biology, and economics to provide a comprehensive understanding. It explores rice's genetic adaptability, historical significance in agrarian societies, and contemporary challenges like climate change and market volatility.

 
Beginning with an introduction to rice's nutritional value, it progresses through biological aspects, historical impacts, and current challenges, concluding with strategies for improving food security. The approach offers a holistic view, distinguishing it from works focused solely on agricultural techniques or aid.

    "An ingenious argument" (Kirkus) for a "novel thesis" (Publishers Weekly) that cells, not DNA, hold the key to understanding life's past and present 
     
     
     
    What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells. While genes are important, nothing in our DNA explains why the heart is on the left side of the body, how many fingers we have, or even how our cells manage to reproduce. Drawing on new research from his own lab and others, Martinez Arias reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly intricate, constantly moving symphony of cells. Both their long lineage—stretching back to the very first cell—and their intricate interactions within our bodies today make us who we are. 
     
     
     
    Engaging and ambitious, The Master Builder will transform your understanding of our past, present, and future—as individuals and as a species.

    Birds, Beasts and Bedlam recounts the adventures of farmer-turned-rewilder Derek Gow, who is saving Britain’s much-loved but dangerously threatened species, from the water vole to beaver, wildcat to white stork, and tree frog to glow worm. Derek tells us all about the realities of rewilding: how he reared delicate roe deer and a sofa-loving wild boar piglet, moved a raging bison bull across the country, got bitten by a Scottish wildcat, returned honking skeins of graylag geese to the land and water that was once theirs, and restored the white stork to the Knepp Estate with Charlie Burrell and Isabella Tree. Derek’s first book, Bringing Back the Beaver, was a riotously funny and subversive account of his single-handed reintroduction of the beaver in Britain. Birds, Beasts and Bedlam, a natural successor to Gerald Durrell’s A Zoo in My Luggage, tells the story of Derek’s rewilding journey and his work to save many more species by transforming his Devon farm into a wildlife breeding center. He now houses beavers, white storks, water voles, lynx, wildcats, and harvest mice, with the aim of releasing them into the wild one day. Tearing down fences literally and metaphorically, Derek Gow is the one person with the character and strength of will to defy authority, bend the rules, and save our wildlife.
