  From the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional environmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable change. The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet. Thomas shows how not only are Black, Indigenous and people of color unequally and unfairly impacted by environmental injustices, but she argues that the fight for the planet lies in tandem to the fight for civil rights; and in fact, that one cannot exist without the other. An essential read, this book addresses the most pressing issues that the people and our planet face, examines and dismantles privilege, and looks to the future as the voice of a movement that will define a generation.

  Biotechnology - The Future of...

  Biotechnology is a field that has revolutionized many aspects of science, health, agriculture, and industry. Defined broadly, it is the use of living organisms or their components to develop or create new products. Biotechnology combines elements from various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering, to harness biological systems and organisms in ways that can benefit society. The origins of biotechnology can be traced back thousands of years, though its modern applications are far more advanced, opening up new possibilities that were once beyond imagination. 
  The history of biotechnology begins with early humans’ use of fermentation in food production. Ancient civilizations used microbial fermentation to produce alcoholic beverages, bread, and other food products. While these early practices were largely based on trial and error, they laid the groundwork for what would later become a scientifically rigorous and highly specialized field. Over time, as our understanding of biology and genetics advanced, biotechnology expanded beyond simple fermentation. The discovery of DNA, the identification of genes, and the subsequent development of genetic engineering techniques paved the way for biotechnology to play a central role in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. 
  One of the key milestones in the development of biotechnology was the invention of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s. This groundbreaking innovation enabled scientists to manipulate genetic material in organisms and create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The ability to transfer genes between species brought new possibilities for improving crops, developing vaccines, and producing medicines. The first genetically engineered human insulin, for example, revolutionized the treatment of diabetes and marked a significant leap in biotechnological advancement.

  The Hidden Cosmos - Dark...

  Dark matter is one of the most intriguing and elusive subjects in modern astrophysics, captivating the minds of scientists and enthusiasts alike. It represents a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Despite its invisible nature, dark matter exerts gravitational influence on visible matter, affecting the behavior of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe. 
  The concept of dark matter originated from astronomical observations that could not be explained by visible matter alone. Early studies of the rotational speeds of galaxies revealed that stars at the edges of galaxies were moving much faster than expected based on the mass of visible stars and gas. This anomaly led to the hypothesis that an unseen mass was responsible for the additional gravitational pull. As a result, dark matter is thought to make up about 85 percent of the total matter in the universe, profoundly influencing the formation and evolution of galaxies. 
  Scientific research on dark matter has involved numerous observational and theoretical studies. Researchers have relied on indirect methods to study this mysterious substance, such as analyzing the gravitational lensing effect, where the gravity of dark matter bends the light from distant objects. This effect not only provides evidence of dark matter's presence but also offers insights into its distribution across the cosmos. The study of cosmic microwave background radiation, the afterglow of the Big Bang, further supports the existence of dark matter by revealing fluctuations that can be linked to its gravitational effects in the early universe.
