Arctic Food Supply

Summary

Arctic Food Supply explores how remote Arctic communities secure and sustain their food supply in one of the most challenging environments on Earth. It examines traditional hunting and gathering practices, innovative food storage technologies, and the impact of climate change on food security. Historically, Arctic communities have developed sophisticated hunting techniques, passing down intricate knowledge of local ecosystems through generations. The book highlights how understanding the vulnerabilities of Arctic food systems can inform policies promoting sustainable development.

 
The book uniquely integrates traditional ecological knowledge with modern technological advancements, arguing that this approach is crucial for community resilience in the face of climate change. For example, traditional ice cellars contrast with modern community freezers, each playing a role in food preservation.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a geographic and environmental foundation, then exploring traditional practices, investigating food storage technologies, and finally, analyzing the impact of climate change on these food systems.

A World Without Soil - The Past...

Jo Handelsman, Kayla Cohen

A scientist's manifesto addressing a soil loss crisis accelerated by poor conservation practices and climate change 
 
 
 
This book by celebrated biologist Jo Handelsman lays bare the complex connections among climate change, soil erosion, food and water security, and drug discovery. 
 
 
  
Humans depend on soil for 95 percent of global food production, yet let it erode at unsustainable rates. In the United States, China, and India, vast tracts of farmland will be barren of topsoil within this century. The combination of intensifying erosion caused by climate change and the increasing food needs of a growing world population is creating a desperate need for solutions to this crisis. 
 
 
           
Writing for a nonspecialist audience, Jo Handelsman celebrates the capacities of soil and explores the soil-related challenges of the near future. She begins by telling soil's origin story, explains how it erodes and the subsequent repercussions worldwide, and offers solutions. She considers lessons learned from indigenous people who have sustainably farmed the same land for thousands of years, practices developed for large-scale agriculture, and proposals using technology and policy initiatives.

Introduction to Solid State...

Mark Hedges

Crystal structure and bonding are fundamental to understanding the physical properties of solid materials. A crystal is a solid material whose atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The smallest repeating unit of this structure is called the unit cell. The unit cell defines the crystal’s lattice parameters, including the edge lengths a,b,ca, b, c and the angles between them α,β,γ\alpha, \beta, \gamma. The crystal lattice is generated by translating the unit cell along its edges, forming the complete crystalline structure. 
Crystals are classified according to their symmetry into seven crystal systems: cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, hexagonal, and rhombohedral. Each system is characterized by specific symmetry elements such as mirror planes, rotation axes, and inversion centers. The Bravais lattices describe the 14 distinct lattice types that can fill three-dimensional space using translational symmetry. The atomic positions within a unit cell are described by fractional coordinates relative to the lattice vectors. In a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice, atoms are located at the corners and the centers of the faces of the cube, while in a body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, an additional atom is placed at the center of the cube.
