The Future of Agriculture

Sarah Bearchell

Summary

Record rain fall and extreme climates have become a common occurrence around the world. The television news shows farmers standing in front of their flooded fields; the ground too wet to harvest one season's crop, or to plant the next. Our climate is changing, but agriculture is not just the victim of climate change - it is one of the major drivers too. Our food systems are responsible for around a third of all greenhouse gases.



In this book, Sarah Bearchell explores how agriculture is using targeted breeding, automation and precision inputs to produce more with less. She considers how we can reduce our impact by addressing problems in our food system, from packaging and transport to the incredible quantities of waste. As consumers, we can make small changes straight away and push for long term change in the wider system. Agriculture can become a force for good, but it needs our help.

Replacement - The AI Revolution...

Nicolas Chaillan

What happens when artificial intelligence doesn’t just change work but eliminates it? Not someday. Now. 
 
Nicolas Chaillan served as the first Chief Software Officer of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. He watched the shift happen inside the Pentagon—then built it himself, running thirteen AI agents for roughly $200 a day to replace work that once required a full team.  
 
Replacement is a firsthand account from someone who built the systems, saw the disruption coming, and is now sounding the alarm. This is not a warning about the future. It’s a dispatch from the present. And a survival plan for your family.

Lakes - Their Birth Life and Death

John Richard Saylor

Lakes might be the most misunderstood bodies of water on earth. And while they may seem commonplace, without lakes our world would never be the same. In this revealing look at these lifegiving treasures, John Richard Saylor shows us just how deep our connection to still waters run. 
 
  
  
Lakes is an illuminating tour through the most fascinating lakes around the world. Whether it's Lake Vostok, located more than two miles beneath the surface of Antarctica, whose water was last exposed to the atmosphere perhaps a million years ago; Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, the world's deepest and oldest lake formed by a rift in the earth's crust; or Lake Nyos, the so-called Killer Lake that exploded in 1986, resulting in hundreds of deaths, Saylor reveals to us the wonder that exists in lakes found throughout the world. Along the way we learn all the many forms that lakes take—how they come to be and how they feed and support ecosystems—and what happens when lakes vanish.
