Sinopse

'Calm or Storm' offers a comprehensive exploration of the dramatic increase in extreme weather events over the past century, examining both the science behind these phenomena and their far-reaching implications for society. The book weaves together meteorological data, environmental analysis, and practical adaptation strategies to paint a complete picture of our changing climate patterns, highlighting how extreme weather events have increased by 400% in the last hundred years.

 
The narrative unfolds through three interconnected themes, beginning with the fundamental mechanics of extreme weather formation, including detailed examinations of heat waves, severe storms, and droughts. It then progresses to analyze how these weather events impact ecosystems and human infrastructure, drawing from 150 years of meteorological data to establish crucial historical context. The book uniquely bridges the gap between complex atmospheric science and practical application, making technical concepts accessible through real-world examples and clear illustrations.

 
What sets this work apart is its integrated approach to weather extremes, combining atmospheric science with ecological studies and social adaptation strategies. The final portion presents evidence-based solutions for increasing community and environmental resilience, making it valuable for both environmental professionals and informed citizens. Through a blend of satellite data, ground-based observations, and case studies, the book demonstrates how understanding weather patterns is crucial for urban planning, agriculture, and public health, providing actionable strategies for navigating an increasingly volatile climate system.

    “Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works   Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages.   Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats.  “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson   Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.

  • Urology - The Urinary System: Health and Function - cover

    Urology - The Urinary System:...

    The urinary system, also known as the excretory or renal system, plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s internal balance by regulating the composition of the blood, removing waste products, and ensuring proper fluid and electrolyte levels. It consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, each of which plays an essential role in the formation, storage, and excretion of urine. This system is not only responsible for removing waste products but also for maintaining the body’s homeostasis, which is critical for overall health and function. 
    At the core of the urinary system are the kidneys, which are two bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys filter approximately 200 liters of blood daily, removing waste and excess substances, such as salts and toxins. These waste products are transformed into urine, which is then transported to the bladder for storage. The kidneys also regulate important functions, such as blood pressure, red blood cell production, and calcium levels, by releasing various hormones and enzymes. This intricate process allows the kidneys to maintain the body’s internal balance, ensuring the proper function of organs and tissues. 
    The ureters are muscular tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Their primary role is to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder through a series of peristaltic movements, which are wave-like contractions that push the urine downward. The bladder is a hollow, muscular organ that serves as a reservoir for urine. As the bladder fills with urine, its walls stretch, and stretch receptors send signals to the brain, prompting the sensation of the need to urinate. When it’s time to void, the bladder contracts and expels the urine through the urethra.

    The Shocking Truth about Animal...

    The concept of animal rights is a deeply philosophical and ethical issue that challenges our views on how animals should be treated and regarded in society. At its core, animal rights is the belief that animals, like humans, have inherent value and deserve certain protections from harm, exploitation, and abuse. This perspective asserts that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, fear, and pleasure, and thus, they should not be subjected to unnecessary suffering or exploitation for human gain. 
    Historically, animals have been viewed largely as property or resources for human use, whether in agriculture, industry, or even entertainment. Over time, however, a growing awareness of animal sentience and the recognition of their complex emotional and cognitive abilities have led to significant shifts in how societies regard and treat animals. The modern animal rights movement can trace its origins to the mid-19th century, with the establishment of the first animal protection laws and the formation of advocacy groups dedicated to the welfare of animals. 
    The industrial revolution marked a turning point in the relationship between humans and animals, as it saw the rise of factory farming, animal testing for medical and cosmetic purposes, and the widespread use of animals in entertainment. These practices sparked widespread concern about the ethics of animal use, leading to the formation of various animal welfare organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866. These groups campaigned for more humane treatment of animals, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the concept of animal rights as a broader ethical movement began to take shape.

    The Deadly Rise of Anti-science...

    During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others.  
     
    Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for  
    his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.  
     
    In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens readers’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.
