Summary

Amazon Destruction explores the complex history of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, revealing its far-reaching consequences. The book examines how the pursuit of economic gains through agriculture, logging, and mining has driven environmental destruction and threatened indigenous rights. Readers will discover how the Amazon's role as a vital carbon sink is jeopardized by biodiversity loss and ineffective environmental policies.

 
The book progresses chronologically, first establishing the Amazon's ecological importance and the historical roots of deforestation. Later chapters analyze the impact on indigenous communities, the decline in biodiversity, and the successes and failures of environmental policies. By integrating historical documents, scientific research, and first-hand accounts, this comprehensive overview highlights the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and political factors at play in the Amazon.

 
This book offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the historical context of Amazonian deforestation. It illustrates how deforestation is not simply an environmental issue but a multifaceted problem rooted in economic exploitation and a disregard for indigenous communities, making it essential reading for students, researchers, and policymakers alike.

The Exquisite Machine - The New...

Ian Harding

Your heart is a miracle in motion, a marvel of construction unsurpassed by any human-made creation. It beats 100,000 times every day—if you were to live to 100, that would be more than 3 billion beats across your lifespan. Despite decades
of effort in labs all over the world, we have not yet been able to replicate the heart’s perfect engineering. But, as Sian Harding shows us in The Exquisite Machine, new scientific developments are opening up the mysteries of the heart.
And this explosion of new science—ultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced microscopy—has crucial, real-world consequences for health and well-being.

Harding—a world leader in cardiac research—explores the relation between the emotions and heart function, reporting that the heart not only responds to our emotions but creates them as well. The condition known as broken heart
syndrome, for example, is a real disorder that can follow bereavement or stress.

The Exquisite Machine describes the evolutionary forces that have shaped the heart’s response to damage, the astonishing rejuvenating power of stem cells, how we can avoid heart disease, and why it can be so hard to repair a damaged
heart. It tells the stories of patients who have had the devastating experiences of a heart attack, chaotic heart rhythms, or stress-induced acute heart failure. And it describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical
trials that will lead us to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.

Internet Marketing - Secrets Of...

Owen Jones

The information in this ebook on various aspects of using the Internet to your advantage is organised into 20 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line. In fact, the number of people trying to make (some extra) money online has skyrocketed over the last ten or twelve years, but especially since the Covid-19 lockdowns. 
Not everything can be blamed on Covid-19 though. Britain, for example, has suffered twelve years of ‘austerity’ brought in by a government that seems no longer to care about the electorate. First they blamed the banking crisis; then the influx of foreign labour; then Covid; and now Brexit and the war in the Ukraine. No doubt you have heard similar excuses where you live. Anyway, the result has been exorbitant inflation and a reduction in wages, and that has led to enterprising people trying improve their situation by working online. This book is for you. I hope that it helps.
