Synopsis

Autumn Nutrient Cycles reveals the hidden importance of falling leaves, illustrating how this seemingly simple process fuels the health and resilience of our ecosystems. This book dives deep into the world of nutrient cycling, explaining how leaf litter decomposition directly impacts soil fertility and the availability of essential elements for plant life.

 
Did you know that the amount and quality of leaf litter, combined with the activity of decomposers, determines how quickly nutrients are released back into the environment? Or that the biochemical changes within leaves, as they senesce, involve the plant reabsorbing vital nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus?

 
The book takes a holistic approach, integrating biochemical, ecological, and soil science perspectives to understand the intricate interactions within ecosystems. Beginning with an introduction to nutrient cycling, the book explores leaf senescence, the decomposition process, the role of organisms like fungi and bacteria, and the impact of litter on soil chemistry. It builds upon decades of soil science research and incorporates insights from various fields, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the natural world.

 
The book culminates by discussing the practical implications for forest management, agriculture, and conservation.

    This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB ( Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing ) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. His visionary and disciplined approach to healing was so successful that it threatened the medical establishment which unfortunately reacted by trying to suppress it but it managed to survive because of his independent mind, tenacity, and determined character. 
    The interviews complement each other well, adding interesting details of his life and work and also supporting the previously translated important 1969 Buteyko Lecture at the Moscow State University which sums up his achievement to that date and then adds information on the subsequent development of his thinking. 
    Here is a summary of the main chapters: 
    1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. 
    2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail. 
    3. Large practical guide ( CEOB Breath Retraining Manual ) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting. 
    4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program 
    5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective. 
    6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia.

    The human body is a marvel of intricate systems, where respiratory and gastrointestinal networks operate with remarkable complexity, silently defending us against countless potential threats. Yet, when these sophisticated biological mechanisms falter, they can transform from protective guardians into sites of intense internal conflict. This comprehensive exploration delves into three formidable conditions—Pneumonia, Appendicitis, and Diverticulitis—each representing a unique battlefield where inflammation, infection, and the body's immune response converge to create profound medical challenges that can dramatically alter an individual's health and life trajectory. 
    Within these pages, readers will journey through the nuanced landscape of respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments, uncovering the intricate biological mechanisms that underlie these conditions. From the lung's vulnerable airways susceptible to pneumonic invasion to the appendix's potential for sudden, life-threatening inflammation, and the complex world of diverticular disease, this book offers a deep dive into the physiological processes that can turn routine bodily functions into critical medical events. By bridging clinical expertise with accessible narrative, we aim to demystify these conditions, providing healthcare professionals, medical students, and curious readers with a comprehensive understanding of the hidden battles that unfold within our most essential bodily systems.

    Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. 
     
      
     
    The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. 
     
     
     
    Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.

    Saving Ourselves from Big Car

    Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
      
    This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.

    Moonlight Elk - One Woman's Hunt...

    Christie Green learned to hunt in order to complement the food she grew in her garden. As an act of practical agency this fulfilled her needs, yet a restlessness stirred within. She longed for a life defined by something deeper than cultural norms. Could she travel beyond the supposed domain of women and venture into the wild, where men were said to prevail? 
     
     
     
    Here, hunting in the wild, the moon cycles through her, rising and falling, whispering messages from the dark side. Rather than circle the hot insistence of a masculine sun, Green begins to attune to the more elusive, mysterious murmuration of the moon. Animals and dreams, lunar partners, choreograph Green through time and space. She longs to dream, toil, live, and love at the edges of the fertile ecotones where she can withdraw inward, retreat like an animal into hiding, and then come into full, radiant view on her own terms. Green sheds the burdens of her domestic self and witnesses the animals defying reason as they walk her into their world, ambling her along, straddling night and day, waking and sleeping. Through them, definitions of gender dissolve and boundaries blur. In the process, Green eclipses western society's definitions of her as a woman, mother, lover, and entrepreneur, courageously birthing her own independence through a profound connection to the animals and the places they call home.
