Sinossi

Climate and Hunger argues that climate change, expressed through intensifying erratic weather patterns, is a major driver of the global food crisis, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and threatening food systems. The book explores the intricate relationship between climate variability and food security, highlighting how climate change acts as a 'threat multiplier,' exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities. It builds upon decades of research, drawing from sources like IPCC reports and FAO data, to show how climate change is impacting agricultural yields, disrupting supply chains, and driving up food prices. The book meticulously examines the impact of specific climate events on crop production, livestock farming, and fisheries, using quantitative data, statistical modeling, and qualitative insights. Understanding the science behind climate change is paramount, as is grasping the multi-faceted dimensions of food security, including availability, access, utilization, and stability. The book's approach bridges environmental science and social justice, connecting climate science with economics and policy considerations. 

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book begins with an overview of climate science and food security fundamentals. It then examines the specific impacts of climate change on various aspects of food production. Later sections analyze the socio-economic consequences of climate-induced food shortages and concludes with an exploration of potential adaptation and mitigation strategies, examining both technological innovations and policy interventions to build resilience in food systems, ultimately informing readers to advocate for sustainable solutions.

Biomimetics - How Lessons from...

Brian Clegg

An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind.

Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems.

In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

Balance - How It Works and What...

Paul Thagard

Living is a balancing act. Ordinary activities like walking, running, or riding a bike require the brain to keep the body in balance. A dancer’s poised elegance and a tightrope walker’s breathtaking performance are feats of balance. Language abounds with expressions and figures of speech that invoke balance. People fret over work-life balance or try to eat a balanced diet. The concept crops up from politics—checks and balances, the balance of power, balanced budgets—to science, in which ideas of equilibrium are crucial. Why is balance so fundamental, and how do physical and metaphorical balance shed light on each other?

Paul Thagard explores the physiological workings and metaphorical resonance of balance in the brain, the body, and society. He describes the neural mechanisms that keep bodies balanced and explains why their failures can result in nausea, falls, or vertigo. Thagard connects bodily balance with leading ideas in neuroscience, including the nature of consciousness. He analyzes balance metaphors across science, medicine, economics, the arts, and philosophy, showing why some aid understanding but others are misleading or harmful. Thagard contends that balance is ultimately a matter of making sense of the world. In both literal and metaphorical senses, balance is what enables people to solve the puzzles of life by turning sensory signals or an incongruous comparison into a coherent whole.

Bridging philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Balance shows how an unheralded concept’s many meanings illuminate the human condition.

Fishing Bamboo - An Angler's...

John Gierach

Once an angler masters a graphite rod, his interests often move on to the original fly rod, pliant bamboo. Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all fly rods were bamboo. By the 1970s, fiberglass and graphite changed the world of fly-fishing. But more and more anglers are seeing bamboo rods in retail outlets, and want to give them a try. With this book, John Gierach, one of the nation's top fly-fishing writers, provides a philosophical guide to the angler who seeks this new "old" method. Gierach discusses how bamboo rods are built, how they differ from graphite rods, and how using one will change a fly fisher's approach to the sport. Fishing bamboo might be the pinnacle of fly-casting skill, and this book will help take you there.
