Sinopsis

"Drought Resistant Crops" offers a vital exploration of agricultural adaptation in an era of increasing water scarcity. This comprehensive guide bridges traditional farming wisdom with modern scientific innovations, presenting a systematic approach to cultivating resilient crops in water-limited environments.

 
The book uniquely integrates three crucial elements: genetic adaptations in drought-resistant plants, water-efficient farming techniques, and soil management strategies, supported by research from five continents and real-world agricultural trials.

 
The text progresses logically from fundamental concepts to practical applications, making complex agricultural science accessible to diverse readers. Early chapters establish the biological foundations of plant drought resistance and soil-water dynamics, while later sections provide detailed examinations of naturally drought-tolerant crops like sorghum and millet.

 
Particularly valuable are the detailed case studies and implementation guidelines that demonstrate successful water-efficient farming across different scales and climatic conditions. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach to agricultural water management, connecting crucial aspects of climate science, soil biology, and economics with practical farming solutions.

 
The authors address both traditional methods and cutting-edge technologies, including precision irrigation systems and drought-prediction tools, while maintaining a balanced perspective on controversial topics like genetic modification. This comprehensive resource serves as an invaluable guide for anyone involved in agricultural development, from small-scale farmers to policymakers, offering realistic solutions for sustainable farming in water-challenged regions.

    WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER 
     
    Global Warming: The Great Deception-The Triumph of Dollars and Politics Over Science and Why You Should Care is the definitive work on the subject of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. 
     
    Guy Mitchell, a businessman with the mind of a scientist, takes a holistic approach and combines scientific analysis with an in-depth review of the political and economic aspects of the subject. He uses proven science and scientific facts to refute every claim of the climate alarmists and proponents of the man-made global warming hypothesis. He exposes the true reasons that the UN, certain politicians, and global investment firms promote global warming fraud. His analysis is an unbiased, scientifically based, insightful, no-holds-barred approach to the subject. 
     
    Mitchell employs his keen sense of business acumen to expose the real drivers behind the claims of man-made global warming: research funding, politics, and global economics. Over $1 trillion worldwide has been spent on global warming research with nothing of substance to show for it. Certain politicians in the US and Western Europe embrace the fraudulent hypothesis with no apparent understanding of the science or the socioeconomic impact that the abandonment of fossil fuels would have on the world economy or the reliability of the power grids that drive it. 
     
    Why do the U.N. and certain politicians in the U.S. and Western Europe continue to promote the fraudulent global warming hypothesis? It is all about the money - money for research and to affect socio-economic change. For many politicians, it is all about the power - the power to control the lives of the electorate. Power is the ultimate narcotic. And money follows power in politics.

    In September 2005, the House of Representatives created the Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation for and Response to Hurricane Katrina. The Committee was charged with conducting "a full and complete investigation and study and to report its findings to the House not later than February 15, 2006, regarding-- (1) the development, coordination, and execution by local, State, and Federal authorities of emergency response plans and other activities in preparation for Hurricane Katrina; and (2) the local, State, and Federal government response to Hurricane Katrina."The Committee presents the report narrative and the findings that stem from it to the U.S. House of Representatives and the American people for their consideration. Members of the Select Committee agree unanimously with the report and its findings. Other Members of Congress who participated in the Select Committee’s hearings and investigation but were not official members of the Select Committee, while concurring with a majority of the report’s findings, have presented additional views as well, which we offer herein on their behalf.First and foremost, this report is issued with our continued thoughts and prayers for Katrina’s victims. Their families. Their friends. The loss of life, of property, of livelihoods and dreams has been enormous. And we salute all Americans who have stepped up to the plate to help in any way they can.

    Space is a place of unparalleled possibility for humanity, and it's undergoing a revolution. A wave of companies led by gutsy entrepreneurs are unlocking opportunities that fire the imagination. No, it's not hotels on Mars or day trips to orbit (yet), but it's an awe-inspiring transformation driven by innovative technologies, creative approaches, hard work, and—for the first time—market forces. Above all, this revolution is uncovering the simple but unfamiliar truth that space is a place: a place where countries, markets, and each of us can play a vital role in realizing some of our biggest, boldest dreams. 
     
     
     
    But we won't succeed through dreams alone. The space economy is just that—an economy—governed by the same laws of supply and demand that apply here on Earth. The authors, who teach a highly popular course on the topic at Harvard Business School, bring the revolution in space to life through players you know—like SpaceX and Blue Origin—and many you may not, like Astroscale, founded by a Japanese IT executive who quit his job to start a company to clean up space debris. They also bring to bear fundamental tools from economics to understand how the market in space is forming, how it's fast becoming a source of value for businesses across industries and for society as a whole, and how we can best ensure that its growth benefits us all.

    Nature versus nurture has shaped centuries of debate—but what if the answer is neither, and both? 
    In Human Agency: 75% DNA, 25% Free Will, scientist and biotechnologist Muren Herrid, PhD, revisits the classic question of whether our lives are determined by genetics (nature) or environment and experience (nurture)—and argues that modern science demands a more nuanced answer. 
    Drawing on research in genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and biotechnology, this book examines how DNA powerfully shapes intelligence, behaviour, and physical traits, while also showing how environment, experience, and mental state can influence how genes are expressed—sometimes across generations. 
    Blending rigorous science with real-world examples and personal reflections, Human Agency explores:Why genetics explains more about human differences than we often admitHow epigenetics blurs the line between nature and nurtureWhether mental state and conscious behaviour can influence biologyWhat evolution looks like in the age of AI, gene editing, and NeuralinkHow humanity may actively participate in its own future evolution 
    Written for curious readers, science enthusiasts, policymakers, and professionals, this book challenges simplistic answers to the nature-versus-nurture debate and replaces them with a biologically grounded, evidence-based framework. 
    If you’ve ever asked whether your destiny is written in your DNA—or whether free will still matters—Human Agency offers a compelling scientific perspective on who we are, and how much choice we truly have.
