Sinossi

"Everyday Myths Debunked" tackles the pervasive problem of misinformation by dismantling commonly held beliefs across health, technology, and daily habits. It emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and evidence-based information in navigating an era where discerning fact from fiction can be challenging. For example, the book challenges the idea that we only use 10% of our brains, revealing this concept as a complete myth.

 
The book approaches each myth by exploring its origins, examining the evidence (or lack thereof), and providing clear explanations rooted in science. It addresses myths related to health, such as the efficacy of detox diets, then moves into technology, examining smartphone security myths, and finally delves into daily habits, like sleep hygiene. This progression provides a comprehensive understanding of why these myths persist and how to effectively address them.

 
What makes this book valuable is its commitment to presenting complex information in an accessible manner, avoiding jargon and maintaining an engaging tone. It arms readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions and critically evaluate the information they encounter daily, promoting scientific literacy and cognitive biases awareness.

    Windswept: Life Nature and Deep...

    ‘Windswept is a wonderful work, prose painted in bold, bright strokes like a Scottish Colourist's canvas’ ROBERT MACFARLANE 
    ‘An instant classic of British nature-writing’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 
    A few years ago, Annie Worsley traded a busy life in academia to take on a small-holding or croft on the west coast of Scotland. It is a land ruled by great elemental forces – light, wind and water – that hold sway over how land forms, where the sea sits and what grows. Windswept explores what it means to live in this rugged, awe-inspiring place of unquenchable spirit and wild weather. 
    Walk with Annie as she lays quartz stones in the river to reflect the moonlight and attract salmon, as she watches otters play tag across the beach, as she is awoken by the feral bellowing of stags. Travel back in time to the epic story of how Scotland’s valleys were carved by glaciers, rivers scythed paths through mountains, how the earliest people found a way of life in the Highlands – and how she then found a home there millennia later. 
    With stunning imagery and lyrical prose, Windswept evokes a place where nature reigns supreme and humans must learn to adapt. It is her paean to a beloved place, one richer with colour, sound and life than perhaps anywhere else in the UK. 
    Annie Worsley's Windswept is a top-tier memoir that intertwines personal narratives with the history of Britain's ecosystems. Her commitment to environmental conservation and habitat protection is evident throughout, making this autobiography a must-read for those interested in European non-fiction. 
    For fans of Raynor Winn (Landlines), Sharon Blackie (The Enchanted Life), John Lewis-Stempel (England), Will Millard (The Way of the Hermit), and John D Burns (Wild Winter).

    What if God is very interested in your waste? What if you looked out your window and saw Jesus going through your trash can? Would that surprise you? The greatest illusion of our time comes in the form of waste. From landfills, to micro-trash, to invisible emissions, to imperceivable pollutants, to the factories and shores we never see... it's all hidden away from our sight. However, the harmful effects of this global wastefulness reach far and wide. It's touching the lives of everyone you love, every place you've been, and every single thing you can imagine. What if your faith requires a greater awareness about the things you eat, buy, and throw away? Could it be that your salvation is tied to all of God's creation and that you have the opportunity to join God's work of restoration? While addressing the environmental challenges of our time, Garbage Theology seeks to connect our Biblical call to serve and keep creation with how we live our lives today. Through personal stories extracted from years of working in the trash and recycling industry while pastoring a local church, author Caleb Cray Haynes introduces and examines a theology of consumption and waste through the lens of Scripture and our story as the people of God in the context of our current global environmental crises. Rev. Caleb Cray Haynes is the Director of Nazarenes for Creation Care, the host of The ecoChristian Podcast, and the Community and Creation Pastor at Kaleo Nashville Church. He also is a co-author of Keeping Creation, a 5-week small group study on the Biblical call to tend and serve the earth. He is a Partner with the Evangelical Environmental Network, an Ordained Elder in The Church of the Nazarene, and holds an MA in Theology: Ecology from Nazarene Theological College in Manchester, UK. He resides in Nashville, TN with his wife Emily, and two daughters Story and Daily. More at CalebCrayHaynes.com
