Sinossi

"Cozy Planet Homes" presents a comprehensive exploration of Earth's diverse habitats and their inhabitants, uniquely combining NASA satellite imagery and NOAA climate data to reveal the fascinating ways life adapts to challenging environments.

 
The book masterfully weaves together three core themes: the formation of varied habitats, the remarkable biological adaptations of organisms, and humanity's impact on natural ecosystems. Through accessible scientific explanations, readers discover how geological processes and climate patterns create distinct environments, from frost-resistant tundra plants to desert-adapted cacti.

 
The narrative progresses logically from fundamental concepts to complex ecological interactions, making sophisticated scientific concepts approachable through real-world examples and data visualizations. Particularly intriguing are the detailed case studies of survival adaptations, such as Arctic fish developing antifreeze proteins and mangrove trees evolving specialized root systems. The book's use of current satellite data and long-term environmental monitoring provides readers with an unprecedented view of how ecosystems function and change over time.

 
What sets this work apart is its practical approach to conservation, combining scientific understanding with actionable solutions. While maintaining scientific rigor, the book bridges the gap between complex ecological principles and their practical applications in conservation efforts. Through its interdisciplinary approach, linking climate science with biological studies and social considerations, readers gain both theoretical knowledge and practical tools for participating in habitat preservation initiatives, making it valuable for both environmental professionals and engaged citizens.

Green

Suzannah Evans

'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin

The First History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
The First History of Man uses infection in general—bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites, epidemics & pandemics, COVID-19—to lay the foundation for the next five books, narratives and stories that delve deeper into human infectious diseases. This first volume jumps off into accounts of the Big Bang Theory—the real one, but also the sitcom—the origin of the Universe, from atoms to DNA to us and how exactly it happened. In our journey we’ll explore Einstein and Newton who were probably aliens (he said jokingly), the Roman Empire, British history and all those wives of King Henry VIII, the why and how of the Protestant Reformation, why Pluto lost its planet status in our solar system, what exactly is the sweet spot of a solar system, all the while digging up some archeology, and even paying a visit with Dr. Livingstone, I presume. We’ll trudge from the top of Everest, the highest point on Earth, to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the lowest point on Earth, and LUA in between, the Last Universal Ancestor that gave rise to all life on Earth.

Sand Stories - Surprising Truths...

Kiran Pereira

Sand is the hidden foundation of our society. In Sand Stories, Kiran Pereira maps out why it is the most consumed commodity on the planet after water. The book examines the impacts of our seemingly insatiable demand for sand on people, wildlife and our ecosystems. 
The concern is that sand is a non-renewable resource in human timescales and not every kind of sand is useful to industry. The good news is that there are solutions to this alarming global problem, including those that foster a circular economy.
