Sinossi

Microplastic Bead Problem addresses the overlooked issue of microplastic pollution stemming from microbeads found in common detergents. Highlighting the sources, ecological impact, and potential health risks, the book reveals how these tiny plastic particles enter marine environments through wastewater, often bypassing treatment processes. It further explores how marine organisms ingest these microbeads, leading to bioaccumulation and biomagnification within the food chain, ultimately posing a threat to human consumers.

 
The book systematically investigates the pathways of detergent microbeads into aquatic ecosystems, detailing their transport mechanisms and ingestion by various marine species. Through case studies, it examines the transfer of toxins adsorbed onto the microbeads and their effects on organismal health, including immune responses and reproductive effects.

 
Emphasizing empirical evidence and data-driven analysis, the book underscores the urgent need for stricter regulations and mitigation strategies such as improved wastewater treatment and biodegradable alternatives. By integrating knowledge from chemical engineering, public health, toxicology, and environmental law, Microplastic Bead Problem offers a comprehensive view of this pressing environmental issue. Its accessible yet scientifically rigorous approach aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding, making it valuable for environmental scientists, policymakers, and concerned citizens alike.

The Heat and the Fury - On the...

Peter Schwartzstein

As a journalist on the climate security beat, Peter Schwartzstein has been chased by kidnappers, badly beaten, detained by police, and told, in no uncertain terms, that he was no longer welcome in certain countries. Yet these personal brushes with violence are simply a hint of the conflict simmering in our warming world. 
 
 
  
Schwartzstein has visited ravaged Iraqi towns where ISIS used drought as a recruiting tool and weapon of terror. And he has heard the fear in the voices of women from around the world who say their husbands' tempers flare when the temperature ticks up. 
 
 
  
In The Heat and the Fury, he not only puts listeners on the frontlines of climate violence but gives us the context to make sense of seemingly senseless acts. As Schwartzstein deftly shows, climate change is often the spark that ignites long smoldering fires, the extra shove that pushes individuals, communities, and even nations over the line between frustration and lethal fury. What, he asks, can ratchet down the aggression? 
 
 
  
Schwartzstein's incisive analysis of geopolitics, unparalleled on-the-ground reporting, and keen sense of human nature offer the clearest picture to date of the violence that threatens us all.

Paddy from Peru: The incredible...

Mirelle Radley

'You could call him Paddington,' Adam said, casually, 'Don't name him! I said, as if this was self-evident. Names turn situations into responsibilities. 
When Mirelle Radley set off for Peru with her cousin Adam, hoping to heal her broken heart, she didn't expect to meet someone who would change the course of her life forever. 
Meet Paddy, the Peruvian street dog who met Mirelle one night when he wandered into her eco-cabin – and refused to leave. He returned the next day, and the day after. And before long, he was following her through towns and markets and trekking alongside her through the mountains, never leaving her side. 
He was free to go, yet he never strayed more than a few steps away.
