Beschreibung

Air Traps Heat explores the critical issue of climate change, focusing on how greenhouse gases impact our planet. The book examines the science behind the greenhouse effect, explaining radiative transfer and the properties of gases like carbon dioxide. It uses extensive climate data, including ice core samples and sea-level measurements, to illustrate the consequences of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. A key insight is understanding how human activities, particularly since industrialization, have driven the exponential increase in these emissions, leading to a warming planet.

The book progresses logically, starting with the basic physics of the greenhouse effect and then analyzing climate data from sources like satellite observations. Major sections are dedicated to explaining the radiative properties of greenhouse gases, examining the capabilities and limitations of climate models, and evaluating observed climate trends. The book uniquely combines detailed scientific explanations with rigorous data analysis, presenting complex information in an accessible manner for a broad audience interested in environmental science.

Ultimately, Air Traps Heat argues that the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases, driven by human activities, is unequivocally leading to a warming planet. It culminates in a discussion of the potential impacts of climate change on various sectors, including agriculture, water resources, and human health, and explores possible pathways toward a more sustainable future. This comprehensive approach, combining scientific rigor with real-world examples, makes the book valuable for anyone seeking a clear understanding of our environmental predicament.

Returning the Self to Nature -...

Jeanine M. Canty

Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
 
 
 
Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
 
 
   
Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
 
  
 
Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

Jonny Acheson

As an Emergency Medicine consultant in one of the busiest departments in the United Kingdom, Dr. Jonny Acheson loved his job. Fueled by adrenaline, he treated and cared for some of the sickest patients who came through the doors. 
 
In 2016, when he was forty-one, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure. 
 
He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson's challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn't know what to do. 
 
When Your Neurons Dance is about how he is adapting over time with support around him—how he looked to the past to help him in the present, embracing change as new doors opened both inside and outside medicine. 
 
Ultimately as a doctor practicing with Parkinson's, he found a way to give back, despite a condition that always takes away.
