Summary

Floodplain Development Restrictions explores the crucial role of environmental law in regulating construction within floodplains, emphasizing the need to protect ecosystems and reduce risks from extreme weather. It examines how legal frameworks balance development with ecological stewardship, noting that floodplains act as natural sponges, absorbing floodwaters and filtering pollutants. Understanding the ecological importance of floodplains and the evolution of environmental regulations is vital given the increasing frequency of floods due to climate change.

 
The book traces the shift from viewing floodplains as wastelands to recognizing their ecological value, highlighting the limitations of early engineering solutions like levees.

 
Examining zoning regulations, building codes, and conservation easements, the book details the effectiveness and limitations of current development restrictions. Case studies of communities successfully implementing these restrictions offer best practices.

 
Through legal analysis, ecological data, and real-world examples, the book argues for robust environmental laws to prevent unsustainable development, safeguarding communities and the environment. Urban planning, environmental science, and public policy all intertwine with floodplain restrictions to promote resilient, sustainable communities.

    ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.

    “Gut Damage” takes readers on an essential journey into the unseen impacts of alcohol on the body’s most delicate and vital system — the gut microbiome. Many are familiar with the short-term effects of drinking. Yet, few understand how alcohol systematically disrupts the gut’s health, throwing the delicate balance of beneficial bacteria off course and leading to a ripple effect of harm throughout the body. This book sheds light on the lasting damage that alcohol inflicts on the gut lining, resulting in heightened inflammation, compromised immunity, and an increased vulnerability to both physical and mental health challenges.

By examining the complex relationship between alcohol use and chronic health conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, and cognitive impairment, this book empowers readers with knowledge that could be pivotal for their health. Readers will also find guidance on the steps needed to restore a damaged gut, along with practical tips for those wishing to reduce or quit alcohol altogether. 
    Whether you are a casual drinker, someone concerned with long-term wellness, or seeking recovery from dependency, “Gut Damage” provides a comprehensive understanding of how alcohol can silently harm the body and the actionable insights necessary for restoring and protecting gut health. This compelling read is a vital resource for anyone invested in their health from the inside out.
