Sinopsis

Environmental Neglect Crisis argues that governance failures, rather than solely technological shortcomings, are a primary driver of global environmental degradation. The book explores the critical links between ineffective environmental policy, corruption, and a lack of accountability, highlighting how these systemic issues accelerate the decline of ecosystems. For example, even with increased environmental awareness, degradation continues due to regulatory loopholes and weak enforcement. The book examines key areas such as poorly designed regulations that lead to resource depletion, the role of corruption in undermining environmental protection, and the consequences of weak institutional capacity.

It progresses from defining core concepts like environmental governance to presenting case studies that illustrate the impact of governance failures, including analyses of regulatory gaps and the environmental consequences of corruption. The book uniquely emphasizes the systemic nature of these failures, shifting the focus from symptoms to root causes to enable more effective interventions.

Ultimately, Environmental Neglect Crisis underscores that robust and accountable governance is essential for environmental sustainability. Without addressing systemic failures, efforts to combat climate change and biodiversity loss will fall short. The book culminates in a framework for strengthening environmental governance, stressing transparency, accountability, and participatory decision-making.

Computational Physics - Using...

Mark Hedges

Computational physics is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and computational techniques to solve complex physical problems. It bridges the gap between theoretical physics, which relies on mathematical models, and experimental physics, which depends on observations and measurements. As physical systems often involve equations that are difficult or impossible to solve analytically, computational methods provide an essential toolset for modern scientific inquiry.
One of the primary roles of computational physics is to simulate and model real-world phenomena that would otherwise be too expensive, time-consuming, or impossible to study experimentally. From simulating planetary motion to modeling quantum interactions at the atomic scale, computational methods enable scientists to explore new frontiers in physics. This approach has led to significant advancements in various fields, including condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics.
A fundamental aspect of computational physics is the reliance on numerical approximations. Many physical equations, such as differential equations governing motion or thermodynamic properties, do not have exact solutions. Instead, numerical techniques like finite difference methods, Monte Carlo simulations, and spectral methods are employed to approximate solutions with high accuracy. While these methods introduce some level of approximation error, advancements in computational power and algorithm efficiency have significantly improved the precision of such calculations.

Death by Dogma - The biological...

Jeremy Griffith

Death by Dogma is a companion to THE Interview, the transcript of biologist Jeremy Griffith's ground-breaking interview that solves the human condition and saves the world - an interview described by Professor Harry Prosen, a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, as 'the most important interview of all time'! 
In Death by Dogma, Griffith explains that the Left's dogmatic insistence that everyone behave in a cooperative and loving way makes its advocates feel good but it oppresses and stifles the freedom of expression needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of the human condition that actually brings about a cooperative and loving world. Dogma is not the cure, it's the poison because it blocks the search for the rehabilitating understanding of ourselves that's needed to actually save the world. George Orwell's famous prediction that 'If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face [the human mind] for ever' was about to come true - but mercifully, science has finally made it possible to explain the human condition and save us from this makes-you-feel-good-but-is-actually-horrifically-selfish-and-deluded left-wing threat of the Death by Dogma extinction of our species!

The Inventions of Ancient Egypt...

Omar Khalil

Ancient Egypt's writing systems stand as a testament to human ingenuity and cultural expression. The development of writing marked a pivotal point in Egyptian civilization, allowing for the documentation of history, religion, and daily life. Among the most significant inventions were hieroglyphs, which evolved into more simplified forms such as hieratic and demotic scripts. These writing systems not only served practical purposes but also played a crucial role in shaping Egypt’s legacy.
The invention of hieroglyphs can be traced back to around 3100 BCE. These symbols, composed of pictorial and phonetic elements, were carved into stone monuments and written on papyrus scrolls. Hieroglyphs were primarily used for religious texts, inscriptions on temples, and royal decrees. The complexity and beauty of this script were not just artistic but symbolic, as each symbol held both sound and meaning. Hieroglyphic writing required skilled scribes, who underwent rigorous training to master the hundreds of characters used in various contexts.
Over time, the need for quicker, more practical writing gave rise to hieratic script, a simplified and cursive form of hieroglyphs. Hieratic was used mainly for administrative and literary texts, allowing scribes to write more efficiently on papyrus. This new form retained the symbolic power of hieroglyphs but adapted to the demands of record-keeping and correspondence. As hieratic became more widespread, it bridged the gap between the formal, ceremonial writing of hieroglyphs and the everyday needs of administration and commerce.

The Buck that Buries its Poo -...

Quinton Coetzee

Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon’s tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet? 
In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround 
creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people’s hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!). 
Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee’s own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain. 
PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!
