Biodiversity In Agriculture

Summary

Biodiversity In Agriculture highlights the crucial role of crop diversity in securing our food supply amidst climate change and resource depletion. It argues that embracing agricultural biodiversity is not just beneficial but essential for a resilient food future, especially given the risks of monoculture farming. For instance, the book explores how simplified agricultural systems become increasingly vulnerable to pests and environmental stresses, impacting long-term food security.

 
The book delves into the value of crop diversity, the dangers of agricultural uniformity, and biodiversity-based solutions for food security and ecological stability. It systematically builds its case, starting with the historical context of crop domestication and genetic diversity loss, then examining the ecological and economic risks of monoculture.

 
Subsequent sections explore strategies for conserving agricultural biodiversity, such as on-farm conservation and seed banking. The book emphasizes the need for context-specific solutions and collaborative partnerships, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers alike.

Standing in a Field with Horses

Maeve Birch

A memoir of equine connection.
If you're not "boss mare" material, can you still work with horses? This was the question Maeve faced each time she interacted with a horse. If it wasn't in her nature to dominate this animal, could she be around them and still stay true to herself? The equestrian world shouted in unison, "Get after him! Tell him who's boss!" Yet Maeve couldn't. When she did, it grated against her soul. Could she successfully navigate a life with equines if her leadership looked different?
In this moving memoir, Maeve Birch explores the dynamics between traditional horse handling and her communications with horses, which often didn’t align with what she was taught. In the stories shared, human issues such as codependency, lack of boundaries, impatience, violence, and fear crop up again and again, shaping horse and human relationships. Standing in a Field With Horses provides a window into the mind, spirituality, and social undercurrents of a woman trapped between obedience and self-expression along with the horses. Will she be able to stand in the current or will she be pulled under?
As horse care and training evolve, so too do the humans who cherish their hooved companions. The two are inescapably linked together, both in the physical realm and in spirit. In the future, will we break horses to fit us and our human world, or will we allow them to guide us into new worlds, new ways of existing and experiencing? The horses have a lot to say if we are still enough to perceive their whispers through the demands of our human psyche. A new way of being with horses is on the horizon. The hoofbeats approach. Come, stand in a field, and listen closely… You may hear more than you expect.

The Universe Within

Raphael Terra

This is a divided and chaotic world. A world torn apart by greed and hatred. By desires that spread around the world like a disease. The stress of modern life pushes us further and further apart from each other and nature. 
 
The simple fact is that we are destroying the planet upon which we rely for sustenance. Our chaotic minds form chaotic societies. Power and wealth are in the hands of the people who should not have them. We subconsciously know that we have screwed things up and yet we proceed to screw things up a little more with each passing generation. 
 
We have forgotten the prime directive of the universe. We ignore its teachings. We fail to listen to its pleas. 
 
The truth that will save you and all of mankind is very simple. It is the Universal Law of Attraction and it is time to listen and learn from it.

Understanding the Artificial...

Shalom Lappin

After many years during which it languished in relative obscurity, in remote classrooms of computer science departments and in small prototype projects for tech companies, artificial intelligence (AI) is now a searingly hot topic across the media. Yet much of the public discussion is so feverish that an understanding of the basic scientific and engineering elements of the field is easily lost, often resulting in exaggerated claims, as well as dangerously neglected threats. 
 
This concise and sober book presents a brief history of AI, explaining in clear language the central engineering innovations that have produced the current revolution. It distinguishes between imagined dangers and the very real problems that AI is creating. Spread across seven short and accessible chapters, this book explains the developments behind deep learning and the applications of deep neural networks (DNNs). It addresses both the imagined and actual risks posed by the AI revolution, before outlining the elements of a rational public policy on AI, covering topics like tech monopolies, disinformation, bias, hate speech, intellectual property rights, and inequality. 
 
Understanding the Artificial Intelligence Revolution: Between Catastrophe and Utopia is the ideal book for anyone seeking a clear and informed introduction to AI.
