Sinopse

"Rewilding Home Spaces" explores how homeowners can actively contribute to ecological restoration and boost biodiversity right in their own yards. It argues that even small actions, like planting native species, can collectively make a big difference in fragmented urban and suburban environments. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding ecological succession, the natural process of change in plant and animal communities, as a key to guiding rewilding efforts. It highlights the stark contrast between ecologically sterile ornamental plants and native species vital for supporting local wildlife, providing a practical guide to transforming residential areas into thriving ecosystems.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with core ecological principles and defining rewilding in a residential context. It then explores the ecological benefits of native plants for pollinators and birds, offers strategies for creating wildlife habitats like pollinator gardens, and focuses on minimizing harmful landscaping practices such as pesticide use. By presenting scientific data, case studies, and actionable recommendations, "Rewilding Home Spaces" empowers readers to enhance ecosystem health, promoting a holistic approach to creating vibrant and resilient communities.

The Bitcoin Standard - The...

Saifedean Ammous

When a pseudonymous programmer introduced "a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party" to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few people paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. 
While Bitcoin is an invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Author Saifedean Ammous takes the listener on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the listener with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art.
