Sinopsis

Microplastics In Food explores the growing concern of microplastic contamination in our food supply, examining how these tiny plastic particles infiltrate the food chain and the potential risks to human health. The book investigates the sources and pathways of this contamination, including agricultural practices and industrial discharge, and details the methods used to detect and quantify microplastics in various foods. Consider that microplastics are now ubiquitous, even found in seafood, table salt and honey, representing a direct route of human exposure that demands careful investigation.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the origins and formation of microplastics, differentiating between primary and secondary sources. It then delves into analytical techniques for identification and quantification, dedicating a significant portion to the potential health effects of microplastic ingestion.

 
Research suggests that microplastics can accumulate in the body and potentially disrupt endocrine functions, although more studies are needed to fully understand the long-term impacts.

 
Concluding with policy recommendations and strategies for reducing contamination, the book emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and public awareness. This holistic approach helps readers understand the entire lifecycle of microplastics and informs effective mitigation strategies, making it valuable for scientists, policymakers, and concerned consumers alike.

What's Hidden Inside Planets?

John Wenz, Sabine Stanley

A guided journey through the inner workings of Earth, the cloaked mysteries of other planets in our solar system, and beyond. 
 
 
 
Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible for millions of species on the surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features, like diamond rain. The daily machinations of Earth's deep interior make the planet a habitable, yet sometimes treacherous, place to live. Drill down thousands of miles through our built environments and soil, sand, water, rock, and minerals to the outer (mainly liquid iron with nickel) and inner core, encountering intense convection, roiling metals, hidden continents, and shifting tectonic plates. Discover the effects of magnetism, rotation, and seismic activity seen and sensed in the forms of auroras, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes, among other manifestations. 
 
 
 
Join this exciting journey to far-flung interstellar locations and the center of the Earth to learn what lies beneath our feet, and why it's the best real estate in our solar system.

The Invisible Bond - Exploring...

PhD Dr. Patrick Fisher

She told me she hadn't left her apartment in eleven days. The grocery delivery sat inside the front door. She had eaten what she could reach from her bed. Her therapist had called twice; she let it go to voicemail. Then her dog pressed its body against her side—and something shifted.
The Invisible Bond is the first book in The Invisible Series by Dr. Patrick Fisher—clinician, researcher, and founder of TheraPetic. Built on original doctoral research at Walden University, this book goes beyond clinical data to capture what it actually feels like to manage anxiety with an emotional support animal by your side.
Through in-depth qualitative interviews with adults living with clinically significant anxiety, Dr. Fisher documents the themes that emerged: presence, routine, grounding, connection, and the quiet ways an animal can hold space for a person who is struggling.
This book is for clinicians seeking to better serve clients who rely on ESAs. For individuals navigating anxiety with an animal companion. For policymakers making decisions about rights they may not fully understand. And for anyone who has ever been told that needing an animal is a weakness rather than a strategy of survival.
The science has not changed. Cortisol still drops. Oxytocin still releases. The autonomic nervous system still responds. This book documents why—and what it means for the future of mental health care.
The Invisible Series continues with The Invisible Disability, The Invisible Law, The Invisible Prison, The Invisible Identity, and The Invisible Data.
