Sinopse

Resurrection Plant Revival explores the fascinating biology of resurrection plants, organisms capable of surviving near-total desiccation and springing back to life with water. These plants offer insights into plant physiology, particularly how they endure extreme drought. Interestingly, they accumulate protective sugars like trehalose and produce unique proteins to safeguard their cells. The book examines the physiological adaptations, molecular processes, and ecological implications of desiccation tolerance.

 
It begins by introducing the concept and showcasing various resurrection plant species in their natural habitats. Subsequent sections delve into the mechanisms protecting cells during water loss, the molecular events during dehydration, and the recovery processes upon rehydration. Understanding these processes could potentially aid in enhancing crop resilience in arid regions.

 
This comprehensive exploration, suitable for plant scientists and biology enthusiasts, emphasizes the potential for applying resurrection plant research to improve drought resistance in agriculture. By synthesizing knowledge from plant biochemistry to ecological considerations, the book provides a holistic view of how these vascular plants achieve their remarkable survival feat.

    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.

    “From eccentric kit men to ghosts. From tea ladies to cats and dogs. From UFOs to moments in football that I will never forget – or in some cases live down…”

    He has been dubbed as ‘inspirational’ by those who played for him, a ‘genius’ by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. 
     
    Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game – and occasional feistiness – into a reflection of football that only he could provide. 
     
    With over 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League – from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German 
     
    youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. 
     
    Add in the odd curveball of fishing, dad dancing, karaoke and his genuine love of women’s football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan.
