  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. 
   
   
    
  Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. 
   
   
    
  This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.

  Agriculture stands at the heart of human civilization, sustaining populations, economies, and ecosystems around the globe. As the primary source of food and materials for countless industries, agriculture is fundamental to our daily lives. Yet, as demand for food and resources grows, traditional farming practices have come under scrutiny for their impact on land, water, and ecosystems. This situation has sparked a profound exploration into how agriculture can evolve to meet future needs without compromising environmental health or resource availability. 
  In response to these challenges, sustainable agriculture has emerged as a guiding framework. Rather than depleting resources, sustainable agriculture seeks to work in harmony with nature, fostering productive systems that can endure and even improve over time. Key principles include conserving soil health, managing water resources responsibly, reducing reliance on chemical inputs, and promoting biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture not only aims to enhance the resilience of farming systems but also to address some of the long-standing issues in conventional agriculture, from soil degradation to pest resistance. 
  Advancements in technology and innovative farming practices play an essential role in this shift. Techniques such as precision farming, vertical agriculture, and renewable energy integration are now helping farmers produce more with less environmental impact. By adopting these methods, we can begin to build a resilient food system capable of withstanding fluctuations in demand and environmental pressures.

  Phycology, also known as algology, is the scientific study of algae, a diverse and essential group of photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments. Algae range from microscopic single-celled phytoplankton to large, multicellular seaweeds like kelp. These organisms play a critical role in global ecosystems, serving as primary producers in both freshwater and marine habitats. They contribute significantly to oxygen production and are a fundamental part of the food web, supporting a vast array of aquatic life. 
  The study of algae is crucial due to their ecological, economic, and environmental importance. Algae are responsible for nearly half of the world’s oxygen production through photosynthesis, making them vital to maintaining atmospheric balance. Additionally, they act as a key food source for marine organisms, from zooplankton to large fish and mammals. Their ability to rapidly absorb carbon dioxide makes them important players in global carbon cycling, influencing climate regulation.
