  An atmospheric scientist explains why global climate change mitigation and energy decarbonization demand American diplomacy, technology, and policy 
   
   
    
  Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change. He highlights opportunities for more successful strategies, including international "climate clubs" and accelerated development of clean energy technologies. Grounded in history and emerging scholarship, this book offers a forward-looking vision of solutions to confronting climate gridlock and a clear-eyed recognition of the challenges to enacting them.

  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 permission 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 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” daunting if not downright scary, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3AM.

  Dendrology - Trees of the World

  Dendrology, the scientific study of trees, is a vital branch of botany that focuses on the classification, identification, and understanding of tree species. This field plays a crucial role in ecology, forestry, and environmental conservation, providing insight into the diverse world of trees and their essential roles in nature. Trees, which are the dominant form of life in many ecosystems, are a cornerstone of life on Earth, offering a range of ecological, economic, and cultural benefits. The study of dendrology bridges several scientific disciplines, from biology to environmental science, and helps us better appreciate the complexity of our planet's flora. 
  The word "dendrology" comes from the Greek words "dendron," meaning tree, and "logos," meaning study or discourse. This definition encapsulates the core purpose of the field, which is to understand and classify the vast diversity of tree species that populate our planet. Dendrologists are experts in tree identification, often able to distinguish species based on various physical characteristics such as leaf shape, bark texture, fruit type, and overall tree structure. This expertise is essential for managing forests, conserving biodiversity, and studying the interactions between trees and their environments. 
  The history of dendrology dates back to ancient civilizations, where humans began to categorize and study trees for practical purposes such as medicine, shelter, and food. The ancient Greeks and Romans, for example, were among the first to document trees in written texts, recognizing the importance of trees for both human use and environmental balance. However, it was during the Age of Exploration, in the 16th and 17th centuries, that dendrology began to emerge as a formal scientific discipline. Botanists and naturalists, such as Carl Linnaeus, developed classification systems that allowed trees to be systematically categorized and understood.
