Summary

Biochar Soil Boost explores the transformative potential of biochar—a charcoal-like substance—in reversing desertification and enhancing agricultural productivity, particularly in arid lands. Biochar's unique ability to improve soil health, boost crop yields, and enhance water retention makes it a promising solution for regions grappling with water scarcity. By strategically implementing biochar, barren landscapes could become fertile grounds, contributing to ecosystem resilience.

The book examines the science behind biochar, detailing its production methods, chemical properties, and interactions with soil. It highlights how biochar can improve water infiltration, nutrient retention, and microbial activity in the soil.

The study goes on to present real-world case studies and research findings that demonstrate biochar's potential to combat desertification and improve livelihoods in vulnerable communities.

Structured for comprehensive understanding, Biochar Soil Boost presents a holistic approach to arid land management, viewing biochar not just as a soil amendment but as a catalyst for transforming entire ecosystems. It begins by introducing biochar and progresses through its applications in arid land agriculture, concluding with its potential for carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. This makes the book a valuable resource for students, researchers, agricultural professionals, and policymakers interested in sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.

The Hype About Hydrogen - False...

Joseph J. Romm

For decades, we've been promised that a hydrogen economy is just around the corner. After billions in investment, hydrogen has failed to live up to these overblown promises. Yet it is as hyped as ever, a target of media enthusiasm and hefty investment from government and industry. Is it time to accept that the "fuel of the future" may never arrive?In 2003, energy expert Joesph J. Romm wrote The Hype About Hydrogen to explain why hydrogen wasn't the panacea we were promised—and may never be. In this newly revised and updated edition, Romm builds an even stronger case, explaining the barriers hydrogen faces. In a series of significant updates, Romm breaks down the latest methods of production, including "green" hydrogen, hydrogen made with nuclear power, geologic hydrogen, and "blue" hydrogen from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS), laying out the challenges with each. He then explores the limitations of suggested applications of hydrogen.The Hype About Hydrogen is essential for anyone who hopes that hydrogen will be a major solution to the climate crisis. The good news? We don't need it to be. With advancements in renewables and battery technology, electrification offers us a path forward that is cleaner, safer—and can be implemented today.

Astrotopia - The Dangerous...

Mary-Jane Rubenstein

As environmental, political, and public health crises multiply on Earth, we are also at the dawn of a new space race in which governments team up with celebrity billionaires to exploit the cosmos for human gain. The best-known of these pioneers are selling different visions of the future: while Elon Musk and SpaceX seek to establish a human presence on Mars, Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin work toward moving millions of earthlings into rotating near-Earth habitats. Despite these distinctions, these two billionaires share a core utopian project: the salvation of humanity through the exploitation of space. 
 
 
  
In Astrotopia, philosopher of science and religion Mary-Jane Rubenstein pulls back the curtain on the not-so-new myths these space barons are peddling, like growth without limit, energy without guilt, and salvation in a brand-new world. As Rubenstein reveals, we have already seen the destructive effects of this frontier zealotry in the centuries-long history of European colonialism. But Rubenstein does more than expose the values of capitalist technoscience as the product of bad mythologies. She offers a vision of exploring space without reproducing the atrocities of earthly colonialism, encouraging us to find and even make stories that put cosmic caretaking over profiteering.
