Sinossi

City Food Security explores the critical issue of how to sustainably feed the world's growing urban populations. It examines the vulnerabilities within current city food systems, particularly in the face of climate change and increasing urbanization. The book highlights the necessity of integrating local food production, resilient food supply chains, and equitable food access to ensure a secure food future. Did you know that most of the world's population lives in cities, making urban centers especially susceptible to disruptions in food supply? The book emphasizes a multi-faceted approach, urging collaborative efforts to tackle these challenges. The book journeys through urban agriculture's potential, dissects the complexities of food supply chains, and confronts sustainability challenges like food waste and water scarcity. It begins by setting the context of urban food systems, moves to examining the potential and limitations of urban agriculture, then investigates the vulnerabilities of urban food supply chains, and finally confronts the sustainability challenges associated with urban food systems. These challenges include reducing food waste through improved storage and distribution, promoting water-efficient agricultural practices, and transitioning to low-carbon transportation systems.

    A gripping memoir of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from her abusive family and an oppressive culture in Saudi Arabia captivated the world 
     In early 2019, after three years of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed finally escaped her abusive family in Saudi Arabia—but made it only to Bangkok before being stripped of her passport. If forced to return home, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women in her country. As men pounded at the door of her barricaded hotel room, she opened a Twitter account. The teenager reached out to the world, and the world answered—she gained 45,000 followers in one day, and those followers helped her seek asylum in the West. 
    Now Rahaf Mohammed tells her remarkable story in her own words, revealing untold truths about life in the closed kingdom, where young women are brought up in a repressive system that puts them under the legal control of a male guardian. Raised with immense financial privilege but under the control of her male relatives—including her high-profile politician father—she endured an abusive childhood in which oppression and deceit were the norm. 
    Moving from Rahaf’s early days on the underground online network of Saudi runaways, who use coded entries to learn how to flee the brutalities of their homeland, to her solo escape to Canada, Rebel is a breathtaking and life-affirming memoir about one woman’s tenacious pursuit of freedom.

    Creating a wildlife habitat garden is a rewarding way to connect with nature and contribute to the well-being of local ecosystems. Whether you live in a city, suburb, or rural area, designing a garden that supports birds, butterflies, and other beneficial creatures can bring a sense of peace and harmony to your space. The importance of wildlife habitat gardens has grown over the years as the natural world faces unprecedented challenges, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. By planting with purpose, you can play an essential role in reversing these trends and create a sanctuary that supports biodiversity. 
    The primary focus of this book is on two of the most beloved and visible wildlife groups—birds and butterflies. These creatures not only provide beauty and joy to our gardens but also contribute significantly to the health of our environments. Birds are critical pollinators, seed dispersers, and pest controllers, while butterflies are essential for pollination, helping to fertilize plants as they move from flower to flower. Both species are also vital indicators of ecosystem health, and their presence can signal a thriving environment. 
    Designing a garden that attracts and supports birds and butterflies requires more than simply placing a birdbath or planting a few flowers. It involves understanding their needs and the role plants play in supporting these creatures through every stage of their life cycle. From providing the right types of plants to offering shelter, food, and water, every element of your garden will need to be carefully considered to create a balanced, thriving habitat.

    Medical imaging is a critical component of modern healthcare, providing a non-invasive means to visualize the internal structures of the body. From early radiographs (X-rays) to cutting-edge technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), medical imaging has transformed the way doctors diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases. It allows clinicians to detect conditions that may otherwise remain hidden, aiding in early diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes.  
    The use of medical imaging dates back over a century, with Wilhelm Röntgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895 being one of the most groundbreaking advancements in medical science. This discovery laid the foundation for a range of diagnostic techniques that have become indispensable in healthcare. Over the years, the field has evolved dramatically with the introduction of diverse imaging technologies, each offering unique advantages in specific clinical contexts. 
    Today, medical imaging includes a variety of techniques, such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT (Computed Tomography), MRI, PET, and more recently, advanced methods like 3D imaging and functional imaging. Each of these modalities provides detailed images of the body’s internal structures and functions, enabling physicians to identify and assess diseases ranging from fractures and infections to cancer and neurological disorders. For instance, X-ray is often used for skeletal imaging, while MRI is considered the gold standard for soft tissue imaging, especially in the brain and spinal cord.

    “A lovely balance of memoir, travelogue and olive-growing how-to . . . Some of her adventures are quite funny.” —Publishers Weekly In this memoir, the author of The Olive Farm returns to the ten-acre property for which she and her fiancé scraped together their savings to buy—just back from their wedding on a tiny Polynesian island, loaded down with luggage and a large hand-painted didgeridoo. As Carol and Michel settle in as husband and wife, they experience the glamor of southern France at dinner parties in the company of aristocrats and at the world-renowned Cannes film festival, as well as the dirt-caked, sun-baked life of farmers—especially after their gardener heads to Algiers to arrange his youngest son’s wedding. For Carol, though, what matters most is that her longtime dream of motherhood finally promises to come true—and over the course of The Olive Season, she shares the story of her hopes and fears as she anticipates another kind of growth and nurturing. Alternately entertaining and emotionally poignant, this memoir is a rich portrait of love, longing, and the constant uncertainties of the cycle of life.
