Sinopse

Plastic: Modern Material explores the complex history and pervasive impact of plastics, from their initial promise as a revolutionary technology to their current status as a major environmental concern. This book traces the evolution of plastic polymers, highlighting how inventions like celluloid and Bakelite led to the mass production of these materials. It examines the ecological consequences of plastic pollution, including the proliferation of microplastics and the challenges of effective recycling, while also detailing how global supply chains and consumer culture contribute to our dependency on this modern material.

 
The book critically assesses the environmental impacts of plastic waste, revealing alarming data on its effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and even human health. Did you know that plastics accumulate in ocean gyres, forming massive floating garbage patches? Or that microplastics are now found in everything from seafood to drinking water?

 
Plastic: Modern Material adopts a holistic approach, blending historical analysis with scientific rigor and policy recommendations. Structured in three parts, the book first covers the history of plastics, then delves into environmental impacts, and finally examines socio-economic aspects of plastic dependency, offering solutions for a more sustainable future.

To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? 
 
 
 
In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

Lyme Disease - Diagnosis...

Lilly Richardsen

Lyme disease is an infectious illness primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, commonly known as the deer tick. The disease is named after Lyme, Connecticut, where the first recognized outbreak occurred in the 1970s. Since then, Lyme disease has become the most common vector-borne disease in the United States and many parts of the world, with cases steadily increasing due to expanding tick populations and climate changes.
The bacteria responsible for Lyme disease are typically introduced into the human bloodstream when an infected tick attaches itself to the skin and begins feeding. The early signs of Lyme disease can range from mild to severe and are often mistaken for other common illnesses. The most notable symptom is a circular, red rash, often described as a "bull's-eye," which can appear at the site of the tick bite. This rash, called erythema migrans, occurs in approximately 70-80% of patients and is considered a hallmark of early Lyme disease. However, not everyone with Lyme disease develops this rash, and other flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and headache may also appear.
If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress to more severe stages, where it may affect the joints, nervous system, and heart. In some cases, patients may experience chronic symptoms such as joint pain, neurological problems, and persistent fatigue, even after the initial infection has been treated. This stage is known as "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS), where symptoms can linger for months or even years.
