Summary

Beneath the waves, a world of fire thrives, and "Ocean Hosts Fire" explores the dynamic realm of submarine volcanism and hydrothermal vents. This book unveils how these underwater volcanoes influence ocean chemistry, contribute to the Earth's heat budget, and support unique ecosystems. Discover how plate tectonics and mantle plumes create these fiery formations on the ocean floor, shaping our planet in profound ways.

 
The book journeys from the earliest deep-sea explorations to modern oceanographic research, detailing methods used to map underwater heat sources and analyze vent fluids. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of geology, chemistry, and marine biology, revealing how tectonic activity and hydrothermal circulation foster chemosynthetic life.

 
Learn about the surprising biodiversity around hydrothermal vents, where life thrives in extreme conditions, fueled by earth sciences.

 
Structured in four parts, "Ocean Hosts Fire" first lays the geological groundwork, then explores oceanographic research techniques, before detailing the biological communities around vents, and finally discussing the broader implications of deep-sea volcanism. This approach provides an integrated perspective, making complex scientific concepts accessible to students, scientists, policymakers, and anyone curious about the hidden forces shaping our oceans and planet.

    Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
     
     
     
    Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
     
     
     
    To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

    ‘I’ve a body out the back for you...’  
     
    Imagine having that sentence said to you. And then imagine it actually being pertinent. Welcome to Evie King’s world. 
     
    What happens if you die without family or money? The answer to this very three-in-the-morning question is that Evie, or someone like her, will step in and arrange your funeral. 
     
    Evie is a local council worker charged with carrying out Section 46 funerals under the Public Health Act. Or to put it in less cold, legislative language; funerals for those with nobody around, willing or able to bury or cremate them. 
     
    Ashes to Admin lifts the coffin lid on some moving and unexpected personal life stories. Sometimes tragic, as with the case of an unidentified woman found on a beach buried without even a name, but often uplifting and occasionally hilarious. 
     
    Ultimately, Evie discovers that her job is more about life than it is about death, funerals being for the living and death being merely a trigger to rediscover a life and celebrate it against the odds. 
     
    This audiobook also includes the special bonus content: ‘A Blustery Conversation with Evie King & Stewart Lee.’
