Sinopse

Weather Facts explores the fascinating science behind Earth's weather, from daily changes to extreme events. This book delves into atmospheric science, starting with core principles of meteorology and climatology. Readers will discover how weather systems form and evolve, influencing our lives and the environment, particularly in the context of ongoing climate change.

 
Intriguingly, did you know that a single hurricane can release as much energy as several atomic bombs? Or that mirages, often seen in deserts, are caused by the bending of light through layers of air with different temperatures?

 
The book examines severe weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and droughts, revealing their causes, characteristics, and impacts. It also investigates the role of global climate patterns, such as El Niño and La Niña, on regional weather.

 
By connecting atmospheric science with geography and environmental science, Weather Facts offers a broad perspective on how weather affects agriculture, water resources, and society. The book's approach is fact-based and accessible, prioritizing clarity to help readers understand complex concepts and make informed decisions about preparedness and environmental choices.

    What you feed the soil, you 
    feed yourself! 
    In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
    urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
    microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
    transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
    During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
    truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
    been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
    While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
    a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
    but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
    that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
    diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
    plant and human microbiomes. 
    Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
    solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
    soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
    on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
    promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
    This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
    anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
    leave for generations to come.

  • Returning the Self to Nature - Undoing Our Collective Narcissism and Healing Our Planet - cover

    Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
     
     
     
    Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
     
     
       
    Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
     
      
     
    Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.
