Sinopse

Drought Survival Champions explores the remarkable ability of certain organisms to endure extreme dryness, a phenomenon known as drought survival. It delves into how revival plants like the Rose of Jericho and animals such as tardigrades (water bears) employ unique strategies, including cryptobiosis, to withstand prolonged desiccation. These organisms effectively "pause" life, reducing their metabolic activity to almost zero, demonstrating nature's extraordinary capacity for resilience.

 
The book highlights the cellular preservation techniques used by these drought-resistant champions, such as the production of protective molecules like trehalose and LEA proteins, which prevent cellular damage during dehydration and rehydration. This ability to survive without water for extended periods offers valuable insights applicable to diverse fields like medicine and agriculture and provides ways to preserve biological materials.

 
By examining the physiological and biochemical adaptations of these organisms, the book reveals common themes and unique differences in their adaptive strategies, drawing from plant and animal physiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Organized to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book progresses from defining drought and its effects to detailed explorations of specific organisms. It presents complex scientific information in an accessible manner, appealing to students, researchers, and anyone interested in natural history and environmental science.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these mechanisms, especially in the context of climate change and the need for drought resilience, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand life's ability to overcome adversity.

Science for a Green New Deal -...

Eric A. Davidson

Since it was first proposed in the US House of Representatives, the Green New Deal has been hotly debated. The intent was not simply to fight climate change or address a specific environmental concern, but rather to tackle how climate change and other environmental challenges affect the economy, the vulnerable, and social justice—and vice versa. 
 
 
 
In Science for a Green New Deal, Eric Davidson dissects this legislative resolution. He also shows how green new deal thinking offers a framework for a convergence of the natural sciences, social science, economics, and community engagement to develop holistic policy solutions to the most pressing issues of our day. Davidson weaves the case for linkages among multiple global crises, including a pandemic that has reversed progress on fighting poverty and hunger, an acceleration of climate change, and a renewed awareness of profound social injustices highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement. 
 
 
 
Illustrating these points with his personal life experiences as a child growing up in Montana and as a famed researcher leading a large scientific society, Davidson relates these complex challenges to our everyday lives and decision-making. Science for a Green New Deal is a realistic and optimistic look at how we can attain a more sustainable, prosperous, and just future.

Hypnosis for Inner Peace -...

Empowered Living

The advantages of hypnosis therapy are widespread. A lot of individuals report positive changes with hypnosis and it's recognized as a valid type of holistic alternative medicine.
Hypnosis is a popular technique utilized for weight loss, overcoming addiction, healing, achieving goals, relaxation and stress relief. It's utilized to get rid of undesired behaviors and beliefs and to manifest new desires and achieve goals in life.
If you wish to influence your subconscious mind to accept new programming for positive alterations hypnosis is an effective technique for doing that.
Among the chief advantages of hypnosis is that when you in a hypnotic state brain wave frequencies decelerate. You center or focus your awareness and you're actually much more aware than usual. A state of centered awareness almost feels as though you're more of an observer of thought and images rather than a part of them. This allows you to bypass the "gatekeepers" at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious so you are able to access these levels of consciousness directly, and the brain is much more receptive to suggestion.
The unconscious, or subconscious may then be reprogrammed so it lets go of old patterns, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you. They may be replaced with suggestions that are favorable and affirming. The superconscious mind may open you into fresh insights and originative ideas.
Put this audio on each night before you go to bed and listen to it right before you fall asleep. If you have time also listen to it first thing upon waking. Do this for at least 21 days consistently so that positive change can take affect in your life.
