Sinossi

Mining Towns Below explores the fascinating world of underground communities that have emerged near mining operations, focusing on places like Coober Pedy, Australia. It examines how these subterranean settlements represent a unique form of human-environment interaction, driven by both the need for resource extraction and the desire for sustainable living. The book highlights how these communities have adapted to harsh environmental conditions, offering insights into sustainable living and innovative architectural approaches. For example, underground dwellings provide natural temperature regulation, offering protection from extreme weather conditions. 

 
The book progresses from establishing the geological and historical context of these mining towns to examining the technical aspects of building and maintaining underground structures. It considers the environmental impact of mining and subterranean living, addressing issues like waste management and water usage. 

 
Drawing upon historical records, geological surveys, and interviews with residents, Mining Towns Below bridges connections between earth sciences, history, and urban planning. It also considers the long-term effects of mining activities on the surrounding environment, both above and below ground.

    The evolution of chiropractic practices reflects a broader trend towards integrating alternative and complementary therapies into mainstream healthcare, emphasizing a more holistic and patient-centered approach. 
    Evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare, including chiropractic care, involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to make informed decisions about patient care. This approach aims to ensure that treatments and interventions are effective, safe, and tailored to individual patient needs. 
      
    EBP relies on three main components: the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values. The best available research evidence refers to high-quality, peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials that provide reliable data on the effectiveness and safety of various treatments and interventions. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are particularly valuable as they synthesize findings from multiple studies, offering a comprehensive overview of the evidence. 
      
    Clinical expertise encompasses the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals in interpreting research evidence and applying it to individual patient cases. It involves understanding the nuances of different conditions, recognizing which treatments are most appropriate, and adapting interventions based on patient responses.

    Reduce energy costs and combat climate change with ISO 50001
    ISO 50001:2018, the international standard for energy management, provides a framework for organisations – both large and small – to manage and reduce their energy usage and associated costs. Implementing an effective EnMS (energy management system) that complies with ISO 50001 ensures that an organisation can:
    
    - Meet legal and contractual energy compliance requirements;
    - Save money by managing energy more efficiently;
    - Reduce its carbon footprint;
    - Increase energy security; and
    - Demonstrate a commitment to improved energy performance.With energy security concerns rising and climate change an existential threat, consumers are increasingly aware of sustainability issues.
    ISO 50001 – A strategic guide to establishing an energy management system provides a practical but strategic overview for leadership teams of what an EnMS is and how implementing one can bring added value to an organisation. It:
    
    - Explains how ISO 50001:2018 (which is based on ISO's Annex SL) differs from the previous version of the Standard;
    - Provides readers with a greater understanding of what energy management is and how taking a risk-based approach can save money and improve brand reputation; and
    - Covers how ISO 50001 can be implemented and how the EnMS can be integrated with other management systems, such as an ISO 14001 EMS (environmental management system).Your strategic guide to energy management and ISO 50001 – buy this book today!

    A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers’ sleep anxiety once and for all!  If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics  —  promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep  —  aka waking up in the middle of the night  —  is a killer. It’s a health and wellness permission book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:--The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime--How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms--That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor your health, and that variability is normal--That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it--The myth of 8 hours--The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep” daunting if not downright scary, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.
