Synopsis

"Pesticide Use Impact" explores the complex relationship between pesticide use, environmental health, and human well-being. It navigates the debate on whether pesticides are essential for modern agriculture or a threat to our planet. The book highlights the unintended consequences of pesticides, such as their impact on biodiversity and non-target species, similar to how a pebble dropped in a pond creates ripples far beyond the initial point of impact. It also examines the potential risks to human health, particularly for vulnerable populations.

The book begins by laying the groundwork with the fundamentals of pesticide chemistry, toxicology, and ecology. It then progresses to in-depth case studies, illustrating the effects on ecosystems from farms to aquatic environments, and analyzes human health impacts. Notably, the book argues against the idea that pesticides are the only solution for food security, advocating for sustainable alternatives like biological control and crop rotation.

Understanding the history of pesticide use, including the Green Revolution's impact, is crucial for evaluating long-term effects. Ultimately, "Pesticide Use Impact" emphasizes that informed decisions about agriculture and environmental policy require a comprehensive understanding of pesticide benefits and risks. It culminates with policy recommendations aimed at promoting responsible pesticide use and supporting the transition to more sustainable farming practices, ensuring a healthier and more resilient food system.

Original Works by Dr Buteyko and...

Artour Rakhimov

This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB ( Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing ) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. His visionary and disciplined approach to healing was so successful that it threatened the medical establishment which unfortunately reacted by trying to suppress it but it managed to survive because of his independent mind, tenacity, and determined character.
The interviews complement each other well, adding interesting details of his life and work and also supporting the previously translated important 1969 Buteyko Lecture at the Moscow State University which sums up his achievement to that date and then adds information on the subsequent development of his thinking.
Here is a summary of the main chapters:
1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science.
2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail.
3. Large practical guide ( CEOB Breath Retraining Manual ) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting.
4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program
5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective.
6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia.

Infinite Life - The...

Jules Howard

Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves. 
 
 
 
In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explains—with great passion, authority, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—why it's time to give eggs their moment in the spotlight: it is the eggs that can teach us new and surprising lessons about Earth's history, the trials of life, and the exceptional ways in which natural selection operates to propagate the survival of individual species. 
 
 
 
Infinite Life: The Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution, and Life on Earth, offers a wholly new perspective on the animal kingdom, and, indeed, life on Earth. By examining eggs from their earliest histories to the very latest fossilized discoveries—encompassing the myriad changes and mutations of eggs from the evolution of yolk, to the hard eggshells of lost dinosaurs, to the animals that have evolved to simultaneously give birth to eggs and live young—Howard reveals untold stories of great diversity and majesty to shed light on the huge impact that egg science has on our lives.

Wild Peaks: A Journey on Foot...

Tom Chesshyre

A journey through Britain’s first National Park on its 75th anniversary
On a spring day in 1932, 400 disgruntled ramblers embarked on a 'mass trespass' of Kinder Scout, a plateau in the Peak District in northern England. Their aim? To establish a right to roam across the rugged landscape, against the wishes of wealthy landowners.
The hikers were seeking respite from the smoky industrial centres of Manchester and Sheffield – and eventually they got what they wanted. In 1951, the Peak District was established as Britain’s first national park. Home to striking dragon-back ridges of rock, vast expanses of peat, farms and villages, cloughs and caverns, the Peak is much more than the 'howling wilderness' described by Daniel Defoe three centuries ago.
With the 75th anniversary of the park’s creation looming, how has this dramatic landscape fared since? Celebrated travel writer Tom Chesshyre hit the trails on a 363-mile ramble to find out – and to celebrate this symbolic home of hiking.
Wild Peaks follows winding paths, pausing at old inns and mountain huts, and along the way meeting a rich cast of landowners, farmers, historians, mountaineers, publicans, rangers, right-to-roamers, homeless travellers, mountain rescue members, mystics, dreamers and fellow hikers.
Don your cagoule, grab a compass, and join Tom as he explores how the land has changed, and how we have too.
For fans of Monisha Rajesh (Around India in 80 Trains), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), Mark Gregory Probert (Journey through Wales), James Anthony (The Slow Road to Deadhorse), and Michael Williams (The Future of Quality News Journalism).
