Synopsis

Seasonal Air Quality explores how the air we breathe changes throughout the year, significantly impacting public health. The book examines seasonal variations in air pollution, revealing that factors like temperature inversions and wind patterns greatly influence air quality. For example, summer's increased sunlight can lead to higher ozone levels, while winter sees a rise in particulate matter from heating. Understanding these seasonal shifts is crucial, as certain populations are more vulnerable to these changes, leading to respiratory issues and other health problems.

 
The book adopts a comprehensive approach, bridging environmental science and public health. It delves into specific seasonal patterns, such as increased pollen in spring and wildfire smoke in autumn, analyzing the primary pollutants and their health outcomes. By using data from environmental monitoring networks and various research studies, Seasonal Air Quality illustrates the connection between air quality and conditions like asthma and cardiovascular diseases. This specialized focus on seasonality sets it apart, providing a valuable resource for scientists, public health professionals, and anyone interested in environmental health.

 
The book progresses methodically, with an introduction to atmospheric science concepts followed by in-depth analyses of each season. It highlights real-world applications, suggesting how public health agencies can use the findings to develop targeted interventions and urban planners can incorporate air quality considerations into their designs. It also touches on the ongoing debates regarding effective mitigation strategies, advocating for evidence-based solutions to improve environmental health.

Biology - The Science of Life...

Mike Crawford

Biology, often described as the science of life, is a vast field that explores living organisms and the processes that sustain them. It examines everything from microscopic cells to complex ecosystems, providing insights into how life evolves, functions, and interacts with its surroundings. The foundations of biology are built on understanding the principles that govern life, the methods scientists use to study living systems, and the role biology plays in addressing real-world challenges. By exploring these core aspects, we gain a clearer picture of the intricate web of life that shapes our world.
The principles of biology encompass key ideas that serve as a framework for understanding all living things. One fundamental concept is the cell theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, and the cell is the basic unit of life. Another foundational principle is the theory of evolution, which explains how species change over time through natural selection. Genetics, the study of heredity, reveals how traits are passed from one generation to the next through DNA. Additionally, homeostasis describes how living organisms maintain stable internal conditions despite external fluctuations. Together, these principles provide a structured understanding of life, from its smallest components to its most complex systems.
To explore these principles, biologists rely on the scientific method—a systematic approach used to investigate natural phenomena. The process begins with making observations and asking questions about the living world. These questions lead to hypotheses, which are testable explanations. Experiments are then designed to test these hypotheses under controlled conditions, gathering data that either supports or refutes the initial assumptions. Analysis of the results allows scientists to draw conclusions, which can lead to new hypotheses and further experimentation.

We Are F**king Machines - Why We...

Dr. Bernadette 'bird' Bowen

Do you feel disconnected? Lonely? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Long before COVID-19 emerged, researchers were reporting that united states citizens were having less sex. Some even going so far as to call it a “sex apocalypse”. Throughout this book, Dr. bird explores not only how and why this phenomenon occurred, but also unboxes foundationally regifted social, relational, and technological u.s. misinformation(s) and disinformation(s), which have devolved into our digital and increasingly algorithmic envirusment. To do so, first, they argue that our dominant ideas of intelligence have always been limited. Then, they connect those logics to escalating environmental crises. Third, Dr. bird reveals how our major ideas of relational intelligence have been tainted by these widely accepted human misconceptions. And, not only that, but that this mentality has been copy and pasted across nearly everything that we do and love. In doing so, Dr. bird makes clear how the envirusment era presents us abundant opportunities to understand how, in numerous violent taken for granted ways, an idea that the “body is a machine” has infected our lifestyles, sickening, disabling, and poisoning us all to death for profit. Yet, in new viral forms, instead of liberatory solutions, the richest continue to invest in more inhumane artificial intelligence. Instead, Dr. bird insists current problems cannot be solved without transformational human solutions, reminding us that we all hold and can embrace our authenticity, reflecting on our life’s knowledge, to fix this shit.
