Sinopsis

A Crisis Like No Other: Understanding and Defeating Global Warming couples engaging and creative storytelling with accurate details to explain global warming. It covers both the technical and human issues of global warming by addressing what's causing global warming, and why people don’t believe it exists. The book tells readers how to convince others that global warming is not only real, but life-threatening, and offers a clearly laid out path to solve it. The book is accurate and carefully researched, drawing on the author's thirty years studying the science of global warming, and the human psyche that surrounds it.  
  
The author breaks down the subject into four parts, which can be thought of as four mini-books in one. The first part covers the psychology of global warming denial, how to defend ourselves against its lies and fake news, and how to convince others of global warming’s grave harm. The second part describes exactly what global warming is. The third answers the question what makes us so sure? Finally, the last part provides a road map showing us how to defeat global warming.  
  
This book is comprehensive, fast paced, and easily accessible to readers from all walks of life. It provides an overview of everything one needs to know about global warming and, as such, is an excellent survey of global warming topics. In addition to being an easy and enjoyable read for the general public, A Crisis Like No Other: Understanding and Defeating Global Warming serves as a handy primer on climate change for environmental science classes.

    In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.

    We know that eating animals is bad for the planet and bad for our health, and yet we do it anyway. Ask anyone in the plant-based movement and the solution seems obvious: stop eating meat. But, for many people, that stark solution is neither appealing nor practical. In Meat Me Halfway, author and founder of the reducetarian movement Brian Kateman puts forth a realistic and balanced goal: mindfully reduce your meat consumption. It might seem strange for a leader of the plant-based movement to say, but meat is here to stay. The question is not how to ween society off meat but how to make meat more healthy, more humane, and more sustainable. In this book, Kateman answers the question that has plagued vegans for years: why are we so resistant to changing the way we eat, and what can we do about it? Exploring our historical relationship with meat, from the domestication of animals to the early industrialization of meatpacking, to the advent of the one-stop grocery store, the science of taste, and the laws that impact our access to food, Meat Me Halfway reveals how humans have evolved as meat-eaters. Featuring interviews with pioneers in the science of meat alternatives, investigations into new types of farming designed to lessen environmental impact, and innovations in ethical and sustainable agriculture, this down-to-earth book shows that we all can change the way we create and consume food.

    The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) marks one of the most groundbreaking and transformative developments in human history. From the early musings of philosophers to the creation of machines that can learn and adapt, AI has emerged as a force with the potential to reshape every aspect of society. The origins of AI can be traced back to the mid-20th century when scientists began to explore the idea of creating machines that could simulate human intelligence. However, it wasn’t until the invention of electronic computers in the 1940s that the possibility of artificial intelligence became a tangible pursuit. 
    The term "artificial intelligence" was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, a computer scientist who is often regarded as one of the fathers of AI. This period marked the beginning of the AI revolution, fueled by a combination of new computing technology and an increasing interest in mimicking human cognitive functions. Early AI research focused on developing algorithms that could perform tasks like solving mathematical problems, playing chess, or even translating languages. These early experiments laid the groundwork for the sophisticated AI systems that followed. 
    In the 1960s and 1970s, AI research gained momentum as researchers developed expert systems that could make decisions in specialized fields like medicine and engineering. These systems relied on a set of rules and logical reasoning to emulate the decision-making abilities of human experts. However, progress was slow, and AI experienced what is often referred to as the "AI winter," a period of reduced funding and interest in the field, which occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells. This buildup leads to scaling on the skin's surface, which can appear as red patches covered with thick, silvery scales. The condition is often itchy and can be painful. Psoriasis can occur on various parts of the body, including the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. 
      
    The exact cause of psoriasis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. While there is no cure for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage symptoms, including topical treatments, phototherapy, and systemic medications.
