Sinossi

Addiction and Society examines the wide-ranging effects of drug addiction on communities and the resources meant to support them. It highlights how addiction disrupts social cohesion, burdens public services, and raises ethical questions about treatment and prevention. The book argues that addiction is not just an individual struggle but a complex social issue deeply rooted in inequality and community breakdown. For example, the economic impact includes healthcare costs, law enforcement expenditures, and lost productivity, all of which strain public resources. 

 
The book provides a sociological analysis of addiction's impact on families, social networks, and its connection to crime and violence. It uses sociological theories to understand the social determinants of drug addiction, moving beyond individual-focused approaches. Supported by research, including national surveys and ethnographic studies, the book advocates for comprehensive, community-based solutions. 

 
The book unfolds logically, starting with a sociological definition of addiction and progressing through impacts on social structures before concluding with prevention and treatment strategies. A key strength of Addiction and Society lies in its integration of sociological theory with empirical data, offering a nuanced perspective on addiction's social consequences. It aims to engage scholars, public health professionals, and community leaders, providing a framework for understanding and addressing the social challenges posed by drug addiction.

    The Water That Remembers is a book about fluency, not fear. 
In this deeply personal and rigorously grounded narrative, Christopher Connolly invites listeners to stand at the shoreline of the Great Lakes and ask a simple question: What does the water carry forward—and what do we? 
Blending environmental science, culinary tradition, public health, and family memory, Connolly explores how mercury, PFAS, and other contaminants move silently through ecosystems—and into the meals we serve the people we love. But this is not a story of alarm. It is a story of translation. 
From early mornings on northern Michigan docks to the legacy of unintended military and corporate contamination… from sediment cores and bioaccumulation to the quiet precision of a filet knife… this audiobook traces how awareness can deepen tradition instead of destroy it. 
Through clear storytelling and grounded science, Connolly introduces a practical framework— Check. Choose. Clean. Create. — designed to help families, anglers, chefs, and communities protect both health and heritage without abandoning the water that shaped them. 
This is environmental literacy without panic. Stewardship without shame. Culture without denial. 
For anyone who fishes, cooks, serves food, raises children, or cares about the future of our freshwater systems, The Water That Remembers offers something rare: 
Clarity. 
Because the water keeps score. 
The question is whether we choose to listen.

    As more farmers move to a regenerative approach to their farming practices, many turn to Ewan who has been farming this way for decades, providing practical answers for practical farmers through growing the greatest soil on earth. 
Ewan, faced with a failing farm and 'empty pockets', realised that doing things the way they had always been done was what had gotten him to the point of 'farming off the cliff slowly'. Asking the question 'What is soil?' he embarked on a journey of research and trials resulting in a deep understanding of the delicate interaction of the soil, biology, nutrient, plant and ultimately health of the animal and ourselves. 
Through observation of phenomena, study of concepts and testing Ewan finds solutions to problems that are facing farmers today - always a beneficial outcome. 'Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books' (Albrecht). 
This book chronicles the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in farming - everything is connected to the soil. If the soil is failing then so is the produce and profitability. In this world of clean and green, Ewan is able to bring back the natural nitrogen cycle in the plant (nitrogen doesn't need to be from a bag) whilst growing and measuring deep carbon levels, beneficial to the water cycle as well. Nature will repair itself and this book will explain how. 
With the patent for 'Probitas' - a product that amplifies the natural electrical potential of the earth and with his extensive knowledge of soil silicas and free aluminium, Ewan is a force that Big Ag tried to eliminate. 
Farmers are increasingly looking to heal their land, maintain healthy and productive animals and revitalise and regenerate their farming life and enthusiasm. 
Ewan puts complex concepts through the 'simplifier' to allow anyone to understand, linking soil-plant-animal-human health. He is often told that nobody else has their feet in the farm like he does.
