  A scientist's manifesto addressing a soil loss crisis accelerated by poor conservation practices and climate change 
   
   
   
  This book by celebrated biologist Jo Handelsman lays bare the complex connections among climate change, soil erosion, food and water security, and drug discovery. 
   
   
    
  Humans depend on soil for 95 percent of global food production, yet let it erode at unsustainable rates. In the United States, China, and India, vast tracts of farmland will be barren of topsoil within this century. The combination of intensifying erosion caused by climate change and the increasing food needs of a growing world population is creating a desperate need for solutions to this crisis. 
   
   
             
  Writing for a nonspecialist audience, Jo Handelsman celebrates the capacities of soil and explores the soil-related challenges of the near future. She begins by telling soil's origin story, explains how it erodes and the subsequent repercussions worldwide, and offers solutions. She considers lessons learned from indigenous people who have sustainably farmed the same land for thousands of years, practices developed for large-scale agriculture, and proposals using technology and policy initiatives.

Strength refers to your muscles’ ability to exert force. Cardiovascular health focuses on the efficiency of your heart and lungs.

Lastly, body composition relates to the ratio of lean mass to fat in your body, which affects your overall health and performance.sistency.

As the world becomes more fast-paced and demanding, people are increasingly experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. While therapy and medication are common approaches to managing mental health, an often overlooked yet highly effective method is exercise. Physical activity has been proven to be a powerful tool in improving mental health, relieving stress, and enhancing overall well-being. 
  - The Science of Muscle Growth: At its core, muscle growth occurs when muscle fibers undergo stress or damage, usually as a result of resistance training. This process, known as muscle fiber microtearing, stimulates the body to repair the damaged fibers by fusing them together, making the muscle thicker and stronger over time. This adaptation process is key to building muscle mass and strength.
