Summary

Insect Protein explores the potential of insects as a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources, addressing the growing need for environmentally friendly food production. It highlights the historical prevalence of entomophagy across cultures and delves into the nutritional composition of edible insects, comparing them favorably to conventional sources like beef and poultry. The book argues that widespread adoption of insect-based protein could revolutionize food systems and mitigate climate change, offering a viable solution to global food security challenges.

 
The book systematically builds a case for insect protein, beginning with an introduction to entomophagy and current consumption patterns. It then examines the environmental benefits of insect farming, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and land use, supported by lifecycle assessments. Further chapters detail the nutritional aspects of edible insects, including their protein content and amino acid profiles, while also addressing potential allergen concerns. Finally, the book explores the economic and social implications, including market opportunities and consumer acceptance.

 
Insect Protein draws on scientific studies, industry data, and case studies to provide a comprehensive and balanced perspective. It connects environmental science, nutrition, economics, and sociology to offer a fact-based and accessible analysis of the potential and challenges of insect protein. This resource is valuable for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in sustainable food sources.

    The Water That Remembers is a book about fluency, not fear. 
In this deeply personal and rigorously grounded narrative, Christopher Connolly invites listeners to stand at the shoreline of the Great Lakes and ask a simple question: What does the water carry forward—and what do we? 
Blending environmental science, culinary tradition, public health, and family memory, Connolly explores how mercury, PFAS, and other contaminants move silently through ecosystems—and into the meals we serve the people we love. But this is not a story of alarm. It is a story of translation. 
From early mornings on northern Michigan docks to the legacy of unintended military and corporate contamination… from sediment cores and bioaccumulation to the quiet precision of a filet knife… this audiobook traces how awareness can deepen tradition instead of destroy it. 
Through clear storytelling and grounded science, Connolly introduces a practical framework— Check. Choose. Clean. Create. — designed to help families, anglers, chefs, and communities protect both health and heritage without abandoning the water that shaped them. 
This is environmental literacy without panic. Stewardship without shame. Culture without denial. 
For anyone who fishes, cooks, serves food, raises children, or cares about the future of our freshwater systems, The Water That Remembers offers something rare: 
Clarity. 
Because the water keeps score. 
The question is whether we choose to listen.

    The Farrier’s Mindset: How to Understand, Apply and Explain Farriery Knowledge 
 
Farriery is more than knowing what to do beneath a horse’s foot. It is about understanding why you are doing it, applying knowledge to the individual horse and being able to explain your decisions clearly. 
 
The Farrier’s Mindset is a comprehensive audio learning and revision resource designed to help listeners develop a deeper understanding of farriery and equine locomotion. Drawing on practical experience, scientific knowledge and years of professional education, Marc Jerram explores the principles that underpin effective hoof care and encourages listeners to think critically rather than simply follow established routines. 
 
The audiobook examines how anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, movement, hoof balance, shoeing techniques and diagnostic information can be brought together when assessing and managing the individual horse. It also considers the importance of observation, clinical reasoning, communication and working collaboratively with veterinary surgeons, veterinary physiotherapists, owners and other equine professionals. 
 
The Farrier’s Mindset is particularly suited to farriers undertaking continuing professional development, those preparing for further qualifications, and equine professionals wishing to strengthen their understanding of the farrier’s role. It is also intended to support horse owners who want to develop a more informed understanding of hoof care and the decisions made about their horse. 
 
This audiobook provides an opportunity to learn and revise wherever you are, whether travelling, working or simply taking time to develop your knowledge.

    Alien Question The: The History...

    The question of man’s place in the extended universe has been pondered by every known culture since the beginning of recorded history. Lacking the means to prove otherwise, discussions of an alternative to Earth’s solitary existence have remained conceptual. The ongoing debate is spurred by the appearance of unexplainable phenomena through the centuries in the atmosphere and the space beyond. Naturally, as technological advances and the creation of flying aircraft became realities, the sighting of UFOs increased, as did the interest in potential contact with aliens. While incidents like the one at Roswell led to conspiracies and a craze among those who insisted the government was hiding proof of extraterrestrials’ existence, governments across the world were actually secretly studying UFO sightings by the mid-20th century. 
Given all of that, it would hardly be groundbreaking for scientists in the 20th century to have a lunchtime discussion in which the search for extraterrestrial life arises, and the question of where it might reside is innocuous enough. However, a furor was created somewhat innocently when physicist Enrico Fermi voiced his “casual lunchtime remark” in the presence of colleagues in 1950. The august company included Edward Teller, a Hungarian physicist, Herbert York, am American nuclear physicist whose lineage included Mohawk heritage, and Emil Konopinski, a nuclear physicist of Polish origin. Fermi himself, an Italian-American born in Rome, was renowned for developing a statistical base for subatomic phenomena, work on nuclear alterations caused by neutrons, and for leading the first controlled chain reaction from nuclear fission. In pursuit of managing the atom, he created the first nuclear reactor. A gifted theoretician, he advanced the field of statistical mechanics, and won the Nobel Prize over a decade before he asked his important question.
