Climate and Hunger

Translator A AI

Summary

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.

Rhinophyma - Understanding...

Lilly Richardsen

Rhinophyma is a chronic and progressive skin condition that primarily affects the nose, causing it to become enlarged, red, and bulbous. Often associated with rosacea, rhinophyma is more commonly seen in individuals with a history of this inflammatory skin disorder. While rosacea presents as a facial rash with redness and visible blood vessels, rhinophyma is characterized by thickening of the skin, resulting in a noticeably distorted and often disfigured appearance of the nose. This condition, though not life-threatening, can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and social interactions, as it alters their physical appearance and may carry social stigmas.
Historically, rhinophyma was misunderstood and even ridiculed in various cultures, with little regard for its medical implications. In the past, it was often associated with excessive alcohol consumption, as the condition was more commonly seen in individuals who exhibited symptoms of rosacea, a disorder that sometimes coincided with alcoholism. This led to misconceptions about the causes and nature of rhinophyma, further complicating its recognition and treatment. Today, however, medical research has brought a more thorough understanding of rhinophyma, emphasizing its underlying causes and the role of rosacea in its development.
The exact cause of rhinophyma remains uncertain, but it is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While rhinophyma is more common in individuals with a family history of rosacea, other factors such as skin irritation, exposure to extreme temperatures, and sun damage may also contribute to its onset. Hormonal changes, particularly during periods of increased testosterone, may also play a significant role in the development of this condition, which is why it is more common in middle-aged and older men than in women.

BLEED - Destroying Myths and...

Tracey Lindeman

Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood—and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off. 
 
 
 
Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED—part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day. 
 
 
 
BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging book. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur listeners to fight for nothing short of revolution.
