Beschreibung

"Cursed Crops" explores the history of agriculture through the lens of historical catastrophes, revealing how famines, plagues, and natural disasters have shaped global food systems. The book highlights the vulnerabilities inherent in our reliance on a few staple crops, demonstrating how this genetic uniformity can lead to widespread crises. For example, the Irish Potato Famine, caused by a single potato variety's susceptibility to disease, illustrates this precariousness. 

 
The book examines the biology of plant diseases, explaining how pathogens evolve and spread, often with devastating consequences for food supply and sustainability. It also addresses the role of climate change and other environmental factors in exacerbating agricultural crises. 

 
"Cursed Crops" uses an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from historical records, scientific studies, and epidemiological data. The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of agriculture, then detailing the genetic vulnerabilities of crops and the biology of plant diseases. It concludes by addressing the role of climate change and other environmental factors. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors that threaten our food systems and underscores the need for more sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.

    In Canopy of Titans, Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate examine the global importance of the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest that stretches from Northern California to Alaska. Their urgent and authoritative account sets out the threats facing a vital environmental resource, and celebrates the beauty and complexity of one of the world's great forests. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest's capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental justice perspective, Canopy of Titans shines a light on the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.

    All over the world, life is returning — often where we least expect it. Wolves are roaming once-empty forests. Rivers, freed from their dams, are carving new paths. Meadows are blooming on forgotten farmland. Nature, long subdued, is finding its way back. 
    In Regrow, Alex Southwick explores the quiet revolution of rewilding — the global movement to restore ecosystems, revive biodiversity, and rekindle our relationship with the living world. From the Scottish Highlands to the savannas of Kenya, from urban green corridors to community-led restoration projects, Southwick meets the people proving that healing the Earth is not a dream, but a process already underway. 
    Blending science, storytelling, and hope, Regrow reveals that recovery is not only possible but astonishingly swift when given the chance. It’s a reminder that the planet’s wounds can be mended — and that rewilding nature begins with rewilding ourselves.

    Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
     
     
     
    Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
     
     
       
    Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
     
      
     
    Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.
