Sinopsis

"E-Waste Global Toll" presents an alarming examination of our world's electronic waste crisis, revealing that we discard the equivalent of 800 laptops every second, totaling over 50 million metric tons annually. This comprehensive analysis explores the journey of electronic devices from creation to disposal, illuminating the devastating environmental and health impacts of improper e-waste management across the globe.Through detailed case studies of major processing regions like Ghana's Agbogbloshie and China's Guiyu, the book offers readers a ground-level view of how digital consumption patterns affect communities and ecosystems worldwide. The narrative weaves together extensive research from leading organizations, including the United Nations Environment Programme and World Health Organization, to document the movement of hazardous materials across borders and their effects on public health.The book uniquely combines technical analysis of chemical contamination with real-world implications, featuring original interviews with recycling facility operators and environmental scientists. This approach makes complex scientific concepts accessible while maintaining academic rigor, making it valuable for both specialists and general readers interested in environmental sustainability.Moving from problem identification to solution-finding, the text progresses through chapters examining the chemical composition of electronics, current recycling practices, and emerging approaches in sustainable design. The book concludes by offering practical guidelines for responsible electronics disposal and policy frameworks for improved waste management, emphasizing the crucial role of circular economy principles in addressing this global challenge.Throughout, readers gain a clear understanding of how e-waste management intersects with international trade, environmental justice, and public health, making this an essential resource for anyone concerned about the environmental impact of our digital age.

    A fully updated new edition of David Attenborough’s bestselling classic. 
    BIRDS. 11,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song. 
    David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds' lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions. 
    Sir David has no equal in helping others to learn and making it exciting. His curiosity and enjoyment are infectious. He shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if unaware of them. 
    Attenborough, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the science of birdwatching, offering readers a comprehensive guide to understanding the natural world. His passion for zoology and ecology is palpable, making this non-fiction book a captivating read for anyone interested in nature and its history. 
    For fans of David Allen Sibley (Birds of Instagram), Joshua Foer (Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), and Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot).
