  The world's oceans are changing at a drastic pace. In response, the people who know the ocean most intimately are taking action for the sake of our shared future. Community scientists track species in California tidepools. Researchers dive into the waters around Sydney to replant kelp forests. Scientists and First Nations communities collaborate to restore clam gardens in the Pacific Northwest. 
   
   
   
  In At Every Depth, the oceanographer Tessa Hill and the science journalist Eric Simons profile these and other efforts to understand and protect marine environments, taking listeners to habitats from shallow tidepools to the deep sea. They delve into the many human connections to the ocean—how people live with and make their living from the waters—journeying to places as far-flung as coral reefs, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and the Arctic and Antarctic poles. At Every Depth shares the stories of people from all walks of life, including scientists, coastal community members, Indigenous people, shellfish farmers, and fisheries workers. It brings together varied viewpoints, showing how scientists' research and local and Indigenous knowledge can complement each other to inform a more sustainable future. This book offers a narrative perspective on the changing oceans, letting us see how our relationships to the oceans are changing too.

  Food Health and Climate - Why It...

  By favoring mostly plant-based foods, we can actually save the world – and live longer, healthier lives. 
  A shift to mostly plant-based diets and new food technologies could solve our most important and pressing global problems. Issues like climate change, hunger, freshwater shortages, the Sixth Extinction, antibiotic resistance, and the threat of new pandemics might just melt away with the new food revolution. 
  According to official estimates, meat and other animal-based products account for around 20% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real figure must be significantly higher. Emissions from soils of grazing lands and fields growing cattle feed have not been included in the official statistics. Methane emissions from polluted lakes, rivers, reservoirs and shallow seas are still classified as natural emissions. Besides, cattle raising and fields growing animal feed threaten to transform the whole Amazonian rainforest to semi-dry savannah. If this happens, animal agriculture will become, overwhelmingly, the main driver for global warming. 
  Food, Health and Climate explains why it is not possible to halt global warming without reducing meat consumption. On the other hand, if we manage to shift to more sustainable eating habits, billions of hectares of land will be freed from animal farming and could be used to grow new conservation and carbon-sink forests, or to produce raw materials for new wood- and biomass-based products that could replace metals, concrete, plastics, and chemicals. 
  Risto Isomäki is a Finnish science fiction and science writer and a leading expert on environmental issues.  His books have been published in more than twenty Asian and European languages. 
  “The fiction and non-fiction books written by Risto Isomäki are searching for an equal in the world in their scope and visionarity.” – Professor Heikki Hiilamo, University of Helsinki

  Paging God - Religion in the...

  While the modern science of medicine often seems nothing short of miraculous, religion still plays an important role in the past and present of many hospitals. When three-quarters of Americans believe that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of survival by their doctors, how do today’s technologically sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and faith? 
    
  Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors, and chaplains across the United States and close observation of their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major academic medical institutions to explore how today’s doctors and hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue, hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways. In Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, Cadge shifts attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and spirituality should play a role in health care and back to the many ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare today.

  Beat the Bots - A Writer's Guide...

  Beat the Bots offers science-based creativity techniques that guide you through the writing process to unlock your imagination and create compelling stories that resonate with emotional truth in ways AI can’t match. 
    
  Even though artificial intelligence is based on a technology called “machine learning,” computers can’t learn to be creative—but you can. This book will show you the way. AI is, by definition, derivative, not creative. It can’t bring rational judgment to determine the quality or value of its work. When you bring those capabilities to your writing, your stories will touch readers’ hearts and minds. 
    
  Just as real food is better for us than processed food, and actual social interactions are more meaningful than social media, when it comes to writing your story, artificial intelligence can’t replicate your individual human intelligence, imagination, and sensibility. Technical wizardry can’t tell your story. Only you can do that. Your uniqueness is what separates you from a chatbot, and explains why you can’t be replaced by an algorithm. You’ll succeed because you’re human, not in spite of it. 
    
  Through engaging FAQs, invaluable “Pro Tips,” and “AI Weighs In” revelations, you’ll be able to apply the writing lessons and creativity tactics to all aspects of storytelling, bringing your distinctive vision and voice to your projects in ways AI simply can’t. Thought-provoking, science-based guided exercises challenge you to apply each chapter’s lessons to your own writing. Whether you’re writing a novel, literary nonfiction, or a memoir, you’ll be able to write stories that are fresh and compelling—your stories—and those are the books that publishers want and readers crave. That’s how you’ll beat the bots.
