Sinopse

"Corn and Hunger" explores the far-reaching implications of corn's central role in global food security, especially for vulnerable populations in Africa and Latin America. The book examines how fluctuations in corn supply chains—affected by factors like climate change and agricultural economics—can trigger humanitarian crises. Corn's significance extends beyond direct consumption; it's vital for animal feed and biofuel, contributing to price volatility. The book uniquely connects global corn markets to the lived experiences of those facing food insecurity, emphasizing the social and political ramifications of corn shortages.

 
The book offers a historical overview of corn cultivation since the Green Revolution, looking at the trade-offs between increased production and environmental consequences. Using data from organizations like the FAO and the World Bank, the analysis combines economic insights with perspectives from field research. Organized into three parts, the book first introduces corn as a global commodity, then focuses on the specific impacts of shortages in Africa and Latin America, and finally proposes policy recommendations for building resilient food systems.

    If you live in the Pacific Northwest, get ready to run for your life . . . 
    In the face of a massive earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest, a respected geologist must make two gut-wrenching decisions. One could cost him his reputation, the other, his life. 
    Is the Northwest overdue for a huge quake and tsunami, or will the region remain safe for hundreds of years yet to come? No one knows… or does someone? 
    Dr. Rob Elwood, a geologist whose specialty is earthquakes and tsunamis, is having nightmares of "the big one" that are way too real to disregard. His friend, a counselor and retired reverend, does not think Rob is going nuts. To the contrary, he believes the dreams are premonitions to be taken seriously. No one else does, however, even after a press conference. 
    Some live to regret it, most don't. 
    Rob's drama becomes intertwined with others--a retired fighter pilot trying to make amends to a woman he jilted decades ago and a quixotic retiree searching for legendary buried treasure in the rugged coastal mountains of Oregon. 
    All are about to live Rob's nightmare. 
    "Riveting, scary, and entirely believable . . . a compelling, page-turning thriller with the ring of truth." Jerry Thompson, author of Cascadia's Fault
