Sinopsis

"Food Without Microplastics" tackles the pressing issue of microplastic contamination in our food, exploring its origins, implications, and solutions. Microplastics, tiny plastic particles resulting from plastic waste and industrial processes, are increasingly found in common food items. The book highlights how production, packaging, and processing methods contribute to this contamination, affecting both environmental and public health.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing the science behind microplastics and their entry into the food system. It then analyzes specific food categories like seafood, bottled water, and processed foods, ranking them by contamination levels and examining contamination sources.

 
Finally, it offers practical strategies for consumers to make safer food choices and for industry stakeholders to adopt innovative packaging and sustainable agriculture practices. This book uniquely blends environmental science, biology, and life sciences to empower readers with practical knowledge. It provides clear guidance for minimizing microplastic exposure through informed consumer choices and advocating for systemic changes, making it a valuable resource for anyone concerned about food safety, environmental health, and sustainable practices.

    Of all the unexploited resources in the world, seaweed is the greatest. Without it, there would be no crustaceans, nor fish. The ocean would be a desert without carbon or oxygen, and half of our atmosphere’s oxygen would be gone.  
    The most recent research tells us that seaweed is one possible solution for our future on the planet. It could feed human beings, reduce plastic pollution, absorb enough carbon to cool the atmosphere, reconstruct generative ecosystems, treat certain illnesses that are incurable today, replace land livestock farming that exhausts the environment, and give jobs to coastal populations. 
    The seaweed revolution is a hope for tomorrow!

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Being a pilot implies having the ability to operate an aircraft under normal and abnormal conditions. Pilot is anyone who is able to fly the machine from one place to another safely. So far there are no differences between an airplane pilot and a helicopter pilot, as both machines are considered aircraft. The only difference between these classes of aircraft is that an airplane is a fixed-wing aircraft and a helicopter is a rotary-wing aircraft. 
    The purpose of this manual will be to supply the reader with all the basic knowledge to operate a rotary-wing aircraft or helicopter. To achieve this goal it is necessary to study the theoretical principles of flight is this class of aircraft, its operation, its different components and everything that differentiates it from an airplane. 
    In these pages the reader will find a theoretical and practical summary of different studies and manuals carried out on the subject, all information studied and carried out by professional helicopter pilots, who today provide their help to achieve a simple and complete aeronautical material.

    Obscurantism in power When...

    Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
    The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
    The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.

    Where the Seals Sing: Exploring...

    There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups. 
    As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them. 
    PRAISE FOR SUSAN RICHARDSON 
    ‘Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment, [Richardson] sees the life of the sea as a mirror of ourselves, and vice versa: always changing, always the same … Vital, glorious and salutary’ 
    PHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF LEVIATHAN 
    ‘[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must’ 
    JAY GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF WILD 
    ‘Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their – and her own – emotional topography’ 
    SARA WHEELER 
    Susan Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives, travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us. 
     Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation. While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the human–seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and uplifting. 
    In this award-winning exploration of coastal ecosystems and the relationships between humans and wildlife, Richardson delves into the world of zoology and folklore, shedding light on the often misunderstood creatures of the shorelines. Her narrative, steeped in science and social commentary, is a testament to the resilience of nature and the enduring bonds of family. 
    For fans of Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), Thomas Halliday (Otherlands), Natalie Sanders (The Last Sunset in the West), Wyl Menmuir (The Heart of the Woods), and Samantha Harvey (The Shapeless Unease).
