Beschreibung

Food Sources: How Climate Shapes Our Food explores the intricate relationship between climate and food production worldwide, offering a comprehensive look at how our meals are influenced by environmental factors. This engaging book delves into major food sources, diverse climatic conditions, and the challenges posed by climate change to food security.   
It highlights fascinating facts, such as how different cultures have adapted their diets and farming techniques to local climates over millennia, and how unique farming practices like terraced rice paddies in Southeast Asia have evolved in response to challenging environments.   
The book is structured in three main sections, examining:1. Major food sources2. Various climate types and their impact on agriculture3. The potential effects of climate change on global food production   
It takes readers on a journey across six continents, providing firsthand accounts of how climate influences agriculture in different regions. By weaving together multiple disciplines, including climatology, agriculture, and cultural anthropology, Food Sources presents a holistic view of our global food system.   
What sets this book apart is its accessible yet informative approach, blending scientific explanations with vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes from farmers and food producers around the world. It offers practical insights for readers interested in making climate-conscious food choices and understanding the broader implications of their dietary habits, making it a valuable resource for environmentally conscious individuals, food enthusiasts, and students of environmental science or agriculture.

    In this audio listening experience, Sara Dylan will be leading you gently into a quiet meditation while listening to gentle rainfall. You are sheltering from the rain and looking about as the rain falls. 
    You can choose what you see in your mind’s eye; you can look out at the rain as it falls or past the rain into the landscape; you can turn your head and look around and along the street or road. 
    "Rain is predictable, calming, stable, and non-threatening," says Dr Shelby Harris, a behavioural sleep-medicine specialist. According to Harris, steady rainfall noises help lull the brain into falling asleep, block outside noises, and frequently induce a more meditative state that brings on relaxation. 
    Gentle meditative music has been added to enhance your experience. 
     
    This deep sleep meditation has been designed as a sitting meditation to be used at any time of the day, but it works just as well when you are lying down.

    A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers’ sleep anxiety once and for all!  If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics  —  promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep  —  aka waking up in the middle of the night  —  is a killer. It’s a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:--The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime--How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms--That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor, necessarily, your health, and that variability is normal--That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it--The myth of 8 hours--The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s “Why We Sleep” a bit daunting, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.
