Sinopse

Drought and Crops examines the escalating global challenge of feeding the world amidst more frequent and severe droughts. It delves into the science of crop failures, exploring the ecological and economic impacts while investigating adaptation strategies for drought-resilient agriculture. Understanding plant responses to water stress is crucial, as is predicting drought impacts on agricultural yields. The book emphasizes that drought isn't just an environmental problem; it's deeply intertwined with climate change, population growth, and global food security, echoing historical events like the Dust Bowl.

 
The book progresses from fundamental concepts of drought to the physiological effects on plant growth, and then explores adaptation strategies like breeding for drought tolerance and optimizing irrigation. A key aspect is translating scientific knowledge into practical advice for farmers and policymakers, using accessible language to explain complex concepts. This approach highlights the need for a multi-faceted response, integrating scientific understanding, technological innovation, and policy interventions to fortify agricultural systems against drought.

    Do you want to feel better as you age whether or not you have a chronic illness? 
    Are you ready to change your own life by spending more time outside close to grass, trees, and shrubs? 
    Discovering this striking research on nature's benefits changed my life. I found evidence of the game changing qualities of green space in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry, neuroscience, urban planning, forestry medicine, botany, ecology, geometry, and psychology. At first I did this research for me, but it was too good not to share. 
    In this book I tell my story, including the urban green space research and practical tips that I learned along the way. This book (and companion workbook) will save you time, effort, and frustration so you too can feel better than ever as you age, with or without chronic illness - whether you live in the city or the country. 
    Verla is a Nurse with a Master's in Health Science and a retired Professor of Nursing. She lives in Pine Falls, Manitoba, Canada, on the edge of the boreal forest.

    The Anatomy of Deception -...

    In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
     
     
     
    The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

    Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
     
     
     
    The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.

    Coding is a very important part of our reality today. It is one of the fabrics that enable the modern world to run efficiently. I know you'd like to learn to code, or at least you know someone who would like to learn to code. But, perhaps you are being held back by the phrase "coding is too hard." I remember a friend telling me this once when I told him of my intention to learn to code. He was like, "Are you serious, it is very hard. You'd actually have to be a genius to learn how to code. In fact, you'd have to be some kind of mad man". We both knew I was neither a genius nor a madman. Fast forward 2 years later, now I know to code. Not just that, I'm also teaching everyday men and women the fundamentals of the subject. 
    There are lots of job opportunities for coders and programmers today. In fact, coding jobs are growing at an astounding rate. If the Internet and data are the infrastructures, then coders are the construction workers. As long as there is infrastructure to be built, construction workers will always have work. It is believed that this trend will continue for a long time. Now is the time to position yourself to benefit from this trend. 
    In this book, you'll be learning the fundamentals of coding languages, how to become an expert in the shortest time possible, and much more. I have attempted to demystify coding because coding is not that difficult, and all you need is a good teacher. This book has been written with you (a beginner) in mind. So there is no unnecessary jargon or words that will fly over your head.
