Sinossi

Ocean Acidification and Shellfish explores the escalating threat of increasingly acidic ocean waters on shellfish populations and marine ecosystems. With rising carbon emissions, the book examines how altered ocean pH levels directly impact shell formation, growth rates, and overall survival of various shellfish species. This decline has far-reaching consequences, affecting marine food webs, coastal communities, and aquaculture industries that rely on these creatures.

 
Focusing on the chemical processes and the biological impacts on shellfish at different life stages, the book uniquely investigates depth-related variations in acidification effects, often overlooked in other studies. It progresses from introducing the fundamentals of ocean acidification and historical trends to analyzing physiological mechanisms affecting shellfish, dedicating chapters to specific species like oysters and clams. Mitigation strategies, including reducing carbon emissions and developing resilient shellfish strains, are also discussed.

 
Drawing from diverse scientific literature and incorporating case studies, the book emphasizes the urgent need to address ocean acidification to protect marine biodiversity and ensure the sustainability of shellfish harvesting. This comprehensive analysis makes it a valuable resource for marine biologists, policymakers, and anyone concerned with environmental science and the future of our oceans.

Resetting the Alarm - PTSD The...

Dr Murli Krishna

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not a sign of weakness. It is a real condition rooted in how the nervous system responds to threat, trauma, and prolonged stress.
This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate, and evidence-informed explanation of PTSD through the lens of nervous system physiology. Designed for individuals with PTSD, their loved ones, clinicians, veterans, first responders, and anyone seeking understanding, it explains why symptoms such as hyperarousal, intrusive memories, emotional numbing, sleep disturbance, and physical tension can persist long after the original trauma has passed.
Drawing on clinical experience and current scientific understanding, the audiobook explores how trauma can lead to persistent activation of the body’s stress response system. These symptoms are described as real, involuntary, and biologically driven — protective in origin, not signs of personal failure or psychological weakness.
Current management approaches are discussed, including trauma-focused psychological therapies, medication, lifestyle strategies, and emerging biological interventions aimed at calming the nervous system. One such intervention explored is the stellate ganglion block (SGB), a targeted procedure acting on the sympathetic nervous system that has shown promising results in some individuals with PTSD, particularly in reducing hyperarousal, sleep disruption, and anxiety symptoms.
SGB is presented cautiously and responsibly — as a potential adjunct, not a cure. Responses vary between individuals, long-term data are still evolving, and recovery from PTSD is often gradual, non-linear, and multi-faceted. The aim of this audiobook is to reduce shame, provide clarity, set realistic expectations, and support informed conversations with healthcare providers.
This audiobook is for educational purposes only and does not replace personalised medical or psychological assessment or treatment.

Physics - A Very Short Introduction

Sidney Perkowitz

Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of how this pervasive science came to be and how it works: who funds it, how physicists are trained and how they think, and how physics supports the technology we all use. Sidney Perkowitz presents the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics from ideas of the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, cosmology, digital electronics, and energy production. Considering its most consequential experiments, including recent results in elementary particles, gravitational waves and materials science, he also discusses outside the lab, the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe.

Creation Care Discipleship - Why...

Steven Bouma-Prediger

Although our planet faces numerous ecological crises, including climate change, many Christians continue to view their faith as primarily a "spiritual" matter that has little relationship to the world in which we live. But Steven Bouma-Prediger contends that protecting and restoring our planet is part and parcel of what it means to be a Christian. 
 
Making his case from Scripture, theology, and ethics and including insights from the global church, Bouma-Prediger explains why Christians must acknowledge their identity as earthkeepers and therefore embrace their calling to serve and protect their home planet and fellow creatures. To help readers put an "earthkeeping faith" into practice, he also suggests numerous practical steps that concerned believers can take to care for the planet. 
 
Bouma-Prediger unfolds a biblical vision of earthkeeping and challenges Christians to view care for the earth as an integral part of Christian discipleship.
