Sinopse

"Ancient Ice" explores the fascinating science of ice cores and their pivotal role in understanding Earth's climate history. By analyzing layers of ice from Antarctica and Greenland, scientists unlock secrets about past global temperatures and atmospheric conditions.

 
These frozen archives reveal information about greenhouse gases trapped within the ice, offering a direct record of environmental changes over hundreds of thousands of years. One intriguing insight is the ability to identify major volcanic eruptions of the past from ash deposits found in the ice.

 
The book meticulously details the process of ice core extraction and analysis, highlighting the technological innovations used to retrieve these frozen time capsules. It progresses from introducing the fundamentals of ice core science to examining key discoveries, such as the natural climate cycles of glacial-interglacial periods.

 
Understanding the significance of ice core research requires a basic knowledge of climate science, including concepts like greenhouse gases, radiative forcing, and feedback loops.

 
Ultimately, the book emphasizes the irrefutable evidence of a strong correlation between greenhouse gas concentrations and global temperatures, providing a framework for understanding present-day climate change and informing environmental policy.

    When we go for a walk, whether in the countryside or city, we pass through landscapes full of natural beauty and curiosities both visible and invisible - but though we might admire the view, or wonder idly about the name of a flower, we rarely have the knowledge to fully engage with what we see. When we do, our sense of place is expanded, our understanding deepened and we can discover richness in even the most everyday stroll. 
     
    John Wright has been leading forays around Britain for decades. As an expert forager, he shows people how to identify the edible species that abound - but he also reveals the natural history, stories and science behind our surroundings. Here, he takes us with him on eight walks: from verdant forests to wild coastlines, via city pavements, fields and rolling hills, he illuminates what can be found on a walk across any British terrain, and how you might observe and truly understand them, for yourself.

    What sets humans apart from other animals? The accumulation of discoveries throughout history, big and small, has enabled us to build global civilizations and gain power to shape our environment. But what makes humans as a species so innovative? 
     
     
     
    Min W. Jung offers a new understanding of the neural basis of innovation in terms of humans' exceptional capacity for imagination and high-level abstraction. He provides an engaging account of recent advances in neuroscience that have shed light on the neural underpinnings of these profoundly important abilities. Jung examines key discoveries concerning the hippocampus and neural circuits that have demystified the processes underlying imagination and abstract thinking. He also considers how these capacities might have evolved as well as possible futures for intelligence. 
     
     
     
    Bringing together disparate findings in neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and artificial intelligence, A Brain for Innovation develops a unified perspective on the mechanisms of imagination, abstract thought, and creativity. Presenting cutting-edge neuroscientific research in a way that is accessible to listeners without a background in the subject, this book is essential for anyone interested in the biological basis of one of the most fundamental aspects of human nature.

    Combining the ethical clarity of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals with the disquieting vision of Alan Weissman’s bestseller The World Without Us, a thought-provoking, entertaining exploration of a future where animal consumption is a thing of the past. 
     
    Though increasing numbers of people know that eating meat is detrimental to our planet’s health, many still can’t be convinced to give up eating meat. But how can we change behavior when common arguments and information aren’t working? 
     Acclaimed anthropologist Roanne Van Voorst changes the dialogue. In Once Upon a Time We Ate Animals, she shifts the focus from the present looking forward to the future looking back—imagining a world in which most no longer use  animals for food, clothing, or other items. By shifting the viewpoint, she offers a clear and compelling vision of what it means to live in a world without meat. 
    A massive shift is already taking place—everything van Voorst covers in this book has already been invented and is being used today by individuals and small organizations worldwide.  
    Hopeful and persuasive, Once Upon a Time We Ate Animals offers a tantalizing vision of what is not only possible but perhaps inevitable.

    In this radically optimistic climate change book, find yourself empowered to achieve sustainable living across every facet of your life—the personal, the professional, and the political. 
      
    “Never has decisive action on climate and environment been more important. This book will help citizens understand that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something—and offers a myriad of ways they can get started too.” —Dr. Trista Patterson, Time100 Climate Leader, 2023, and co-founder of Playing for the Planet 
      
    Charlie Sellars pulls insight from his experience as a director of sustainability at Microsoft, which has underlined its commitment to be a green business with a pledge to become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030 while protecting ecosystems. He also serves on the governing body of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize digital infrastructure. 
      
    Inside this sustainable living book, you will learn how to: 
     - Harness environmental science to make more sustainable decisions using the “Make It, Move It, Lose It, Use It” impact framework. 
     - Turn your job into a sustainability job, no matter what you do for a living. 
     - Unleash the power of your voice at the ballot box and in your local community. 
      
    This refreshingly optimistic environmental book for adults and recent graduates makes for a great climate change gift, like Hannah Ritchie’s Not the End of the World and Katharine Hayhoe’s Saving Us. 
       
    Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. It’s not too late to defeat the climate crisis, and What We Can Do will show you how. 
    “What We Can Do brings cutting-edge sustainability techniques used by chief sustainability officers into the hands and context of everyday individuals. The result? A book that finally empowers readers to maximize their impact across every facet of their lives” —Ann Tracy, chief sustainability officer, Colgate-Palmolive
