Sinopsis

"Juicy Fruit Facts" presents a fascinating exploration of how fruits have profoundly influenced human civilization, from ancient cultivation practices to modern agricultural science. This comprehensive work uniquely integrates biochemistry, agricultural innovation, and cultural anthropology to paint a complete picture of fruits' impact on human development.

 
Through a well-structured approach, the book examines fruits from three distinct perspectives: their biological composition, global cultivation methods, and historical significance. The book's first section delves into the molecular biology and nutritional science behind fruits, examining their health benefits and chemical properties. Moving through agricultural practices, it presents compelling case studies from major fruit-producing regions, highlighting sustainable farming techniques and adaptation strategies for climate change.

 
The final section expertly weaves together archaeological findings and historical evidence to trace how fruits have shaped trade routes and cultural exchanges throughout human history. What sets this work apart is its accessible yet authoritative presentation of complex scientific concepts, making it valuable for both academics and general readers interested in food science.

 
The integration of current research with practical applications provides readers with actionable insights into fruit selection, storage, and cultivation. By examining controversial topics like genetic modification and sustainable agriculture, the book offers a balanced perspective on modern challenges in fruit production while maintaining its foundation in peer-reviewed research and expert interviews.

From elder voices opposing the Dakota Pipeline to young people running for office to advocate for change, every day we see real-life stories about how women are making a collective difference on climate justice. Women are also disproportionately impacted by climate change and thus are critical to transforming society away from dependence on fossil fuels and toward renewable energy and environmental equity. 
 
 
 
As a mother and a professor of environmental education, Mallory McDuff wanted to give her two daughters and her students a roadmap to engage in climate justice in their communities, rather than be left feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the problem. She set out to find women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and vocations—one from each of the fifty US states—as inspiration for a new kind of leadership focused on the heart of the climate crisis. Love Your Mother lifts up the stories of these women working toward a viable future, from farmer and rancher Donna Kilpatrick in Arkansas to writer Latria Graham in South Carolina. 
 
 
 
From Alabama to Alaska, from Wisconsin to Wyoming, these women are poets, physicians, climate scientists, students, farmers, writers, documentary filmmakers, and more. Their work lights the way for conversation and collective action in our homes and in the world. It's time we follow their lead.

It is hard to imagine that the busy townscape of South London was once a great wood, stretching almost seven miles from Croydon to Deptford or that, scattered through the suburbs, from Dulwich to Norwood, a number of oak woodlands have survived since before the Norman Conquest. These woods were intensively managed for a thousand years, providing timber for construction, furniture and shipbuilding, and charcoal for London's blacksmiths, kilns and bakeries. Now they afford important green space, a vital habitat for small mammals, birds and insects. 
 
Drawing on a wealth of documents, historic maps and environmental evidence, The Wood That Built London charts the fortunes of the North Wood from its earliest times: its ecology, ownership, management, and the gradual encroachment of the metropolis.
