Sinopsis

Eco-Wood Sourcing explores how choosing wood products can significantly impact our planet's health, focusing on the environmental advantages of certified wood and sustainable forestry. Deforestation contributes to climate change and habitat destruction, but this book argues that responsible wood sourcing offers a pragmatic solution. Certified sustainable forestry maintains biodiversity, protects water quality, and sequesters carbon.

 
The book investigates the economic forces behind the demand for certified wood, highlighting the roles of government regulations, corporate initiatives, and consumer preferences. It guides businesses and consumers in implementing sustainable practices, such as selecting certified products and evaluating suppliers.

 
Beginning with the historical context of forestry, the book progresses through ecological principles and economic incentives to provide practical guidance for sustainable wood sourcing. By integrating ecological science, economic analysis, and practical steps, Eco-Wood Sourcing provides a comprehensive resource for understanding and promoting responsible wood sourcing.

 
It challenges the idea that all wood products harm the environment, offering a path toward a sustainable future by emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship within the timber industry.

You are an Agile Coach and you are being called in to fix a bad problem.  Your client has entered into a fixed price contract with their client, but it looks like the project is going sour.  Half of the time and money have been spent but only about 30 percent of the milestones have been reached.  Management wants you to "do Agile" and fix the problem. 
What should you do? 
This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place. 
Never mind the bright yellow sunlight that flecks your pillow and warms your face; you are rudely awake, and resent it. Gah! 
You roll onto your side, cantilever your legs over the side of the bed and plant your feet squarely on the carpet. You rub your face. Massage your neck. Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. 
But what is it to be alive, and conscious? 
Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? 
A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. 
So in this text, first I set the scene:Did our consciousness evolve?Does consciousness give us free will?Which animals do we think are conscious?Where does consciousness go when we sleep?How does consciousness deliver meaning?What might a theory of consciousness look like? 
Then I propose:A model for consciousness at the macro scaleA mechanism for consciousness at the micro scale 
Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here. This is a workable, testable theory. Science and philosophy demand nothing less. 
A must-listen for the curious-minded, which you are, are you not? So listen on...
