Sinopse

Vanishing National Parks explores the growing threats to these protected areas, revealing how climate change, deforestation, and human activities endanger these vital ecosystems. National parks, beyond being scenic landscapes, are critical for biodiversity, climate regulation, and scientific research. The book emphasizes that traditional conservation methods are insufficient, advocating for proactive strategies and collaborative partnerships to reverse environmental degradation. For example, altered precipitation patterns are already impacting park ecosystems.

 
The book systematically builds its argument, beginning with the ecological significance of parks before analyzing the threats they face. It dedicates major sections to climate change impacts, deforestation and habitat fragmentation, and sustainable solutions, presenting case studies and policy recommendations. By integrating scientific research with practical solutions, Vanishing National Parks offers a unique perspective, highlighting the urgency of action while remaining optimistic about positive change.

Fowl Play - A History of the...

Sally Coulthard

Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating – and sometimes shocking – story of the domestic chicken. 
The chicken can fly only a few metres but – somehow – this unlikely evolutionary descendant of Tyrannosaurus Rex has conquered the world. Earth is now home to more than twenty billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard charts the chicken's fascinating journey from dinosaur to domestication to exploitation, exploring every aspect of the history of Gallus gallus domesticus: its importance to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans as food source and fighting bird; its symbolic roles in religion and folklore and metaphorical function in the language we use; its homely place as egg-providing companion on farms, smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and its darker modern-day fate as battery bird raised to satisfy society's unquenchable addiction to wings and nuggets. Of all animals, chickens perhaps best represent the contradictory way we humans treat other species; both beloved pet and cheap commodity, symbol of a sustainable good life and brutalised object of factory farming. The chicken is also a bird we feel deeply familiar with and yet know very little about. As informative as it is entertaining, Fowl Play tells a remarkable tale of evolutionary change, epic global travel and ruthless exploitation – as well as of companionship, ingenuity and the folly of human nature.

Pulmonology - Lung Diseases and...

Ava Westwood

Pulmonology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the respiratory system. The respiratory system, comprising the lungs, airways, and associated structures, is vital for the process of respiration, which allows the body to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Pulmonology addresses a broad range of conditions, from common ailments like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to more complex disorders such as lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung disease. This field plays a critical role in ensuring optimal lung health and preventing the potentially debilitating effects of respiratory conditions. 
The importance of pulmonology has grown significantly in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases worldwide. Factors such as air pollution, smoking, and the global rise in respiratory infections have contributed to the heightened demand for specialized care in pulmonology. Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Early diagnosis, effective treatment, and ongoing management are key to improving quality of life and reducing the burden of these diseases on patients and healthcare systems. 
Pulmonologists are medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases. They are trained to perform a variety of diagnostic procedures, including pulmonary function tests, imaging studies, and bronchoscopy, to assess lung function and identify underlying conditions. Pulmonologists also manage respiratory diseases through a combination of pharmacological treatments, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. They work closely with other healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, oncologists, and thoracic surgeons, to deliver comprehensive care for patients with complex respiratory conditions.
