Sinopse

Island Reefs Balance delves into the crucial topic of balancing traditional fishing practices with the fragile coral reef ecosystems of the Torres Strait. This region, rich in biodiversity and cultural significance, faces increasing pressure from modernization and the need for sustainable resource management. The book highlights the necessity of revised fishing regulations that protect both the reefs and the livelihoods of the indigenous island communities who depend on them. One intriguing aspect explored is how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) can be integrated with scientific data to create more effective conservation strategies.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with the ecological importance of the Torres Strait reefs and then examining the historical and social context of fishing practices. It analyzes current fishing regulations, presents scientific evidence of fish stock depletion, and explores successful community-based conservation initiatives. A key focus is on the complexities of managing shared resources between Australia and Papua New Guinea under the Torres Strait Treaty.

 
By blending scientific rigor with a deep respect for TEK, Island Reefs Balance offers a unique perspective, advocating for a collaborative approach to fisheries management that ensures a sustainable equilibrium within this vital ecosystem.

    A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness fifty years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread, and surviving the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them. 
     
     
     
    Their neighbors are few, but among them they find the generosity and community spirit that has survived in the Highlands for generations. Working as a tight family unit, they learn to cope, and in time grow to love their little croft. As Neil Gunn writes in his Foreword, their lives gain extra dimensions that 'give the book its unusual quality, its brightness, and its wisdom'.

    Digital technology runs on algorithms, sets of instructions that describe how to do something efficiently. Application areas range from search engines to tournament scheduling, DNA sequencing, and machine learning. Arguing that every educated person today needs to have some understanding of algorithms and what they do, in this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Panos Louridas offers an introduction to algorithms that is accessible to nonspecialists. Louridas explains not just what algorithms are but also how they work, offering a wide range of examples and keeping mathematics to a minimum. 
     
     
     
    After discussing what an algorithm does and how its effectiveness can be measured, Louridas covers three of the most fundamental applications areas: graphs, which describe networks, from eighteenth-century problems to today's social networks; searching, and how to find the fastest way to search; and sorting, and the importance of choosing the best algorithm for particular tasks. He then presents larger-scale applications: PageRank, Google's founding algorithm; and neural networks and deep learning. Finally, Louridas describes how all algorithms are nothing more than simple moves with pen and paper, and how from such a humble foundation rise all their spectacular achievements.

    Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
     
     
     
    Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
     
     
     
    To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.
