Sinossi

The Deepwater Disaster meticulously recounts the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a pivotal environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It dissects the confluence of technological failures, lax regulatory oversight, and flawed corporate responsibility that culminated in the catastrophe. The book highlights the accident wasn't a mere isolated incident but a foreseeable consequence of systemic shortcomings, emphasizing the urgent need for reformed risk management and stringent environmental protection measures. It reminds us how deeply intertwined human actions are with the natural world.

 
The book unfolds by introducing key players, analyzing decisions leading up to the explosion, and detailing the spill's devastating aftermath on marine ecosystems and coastal communities. It draws from government reports, scientific studies, and firsthand accounts to provide a comprehensive view. The narrative approach makes complex issues accessible, illustrating how the disaster exposed vulnerabilities in our energy infrastructure and the far-reaching impacts of such environmental disasters.

 
The book progresses from the initial explosion to the legal battles and policy changes that followed, offering critical insights into the ongoing challenges of environmental restoration and energy policy.

    Forest celebrates the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been. 
    Journeying across the continents, Matt Collins and Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. 
    Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been. 
    Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them. 
    The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus – Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island). 
    Captured on medium-format film, Roo’s stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt’s engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees. 
    Matt Collins Forest is a non-fiction exploration of conservation, botany, and the protection of our ecosystems. Pre-order this up-coming book to learn about the latest themes and subjects in earth sciences and geography. 
    For fans of Fiona Danks (Run Wild!), Jo Schofield (Go Wild!), Richard Irvine (Forest School For Grown-Ups), and Bear Grylls (Never Give Up).

  • Unraveling - What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep Dyeing Wool and Making the World’s Ugliest Sweater - cover

    Unraveling - What I Learned...

    “Orenstein is such a breezy, funny writer, it’s easy to forget she’s an important thinker too.”—People 
    In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch—shearing, spinning, dyeing wool—and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone.   
    The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large and small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged and cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater. 
    Orenstein hoped the project would help her process not just wool but her grief over the recent death of her mother and the decline of her dad, the impending departure of her college-bound daughter, and other thorny issues of aging as a woman in a culture that by turns ignores and disdains them. What she didn’t expect was a journey into some of the major issues of our time: climate anxiety, racial justice, women’s rights, the impact of technology, sustainability, and, ultimately, the meaning of home. 
    With her wry voice, sharp intelligence, and exuberant honesty, Orenstein shares her year-long journey as daughter, wife, mother, writer, and maker—and teaches us all something about creativity and connection.  
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
    Unraveling is a memoir that explores Peggy Orenstein's journey into the world of knitting as a way to cope with the pandemic and other personal struggles. Through her exploration of the cultural history of wool dying, carding, and spinning, she provides readers with a deeper understanding of the true meaning of creativity and the importance of pursuing hobbies. This book is a perfect gift for anyone looking for inspiration and insight into the power of DIY projects.

    Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.
