Sinopsis

Food Extinctions unveils the looming crisis of disappearing crops and livestock, highlighting threats to global food security. It explores how climate change disrupts agricultural yields and livestock viability, causing erratic weather patterns that stress animals and alter growing seasons. Disease outbreaks, intensified by globalization, further decimate food sources, threatening entire populations. Monoculture farming and habitat destruction, driven by unsustainable human practices, also contribute to this decline, reducing genetic diversity and increasing vulnerability. The book examines the biological, environmental, and social factors driving food source loss, arguing that the current rate jeopardizes food systems and planetary health.

Presenting scientific data alongside real-world examples, the book integrates climate science, public health, and economics to illustrate the interconnectedness of ecosystems and agricultural practices. It progresses by introducing the problem, dedicating sections to climate change, disease, and human activity, then culminating in practical applications to avert extinction. This book offers a unique perspective by connecting scientific data with real-world examples, emphasizing ecosystem interconnectedness, agricultural practices, and human societies.

Intended for a broad audience, Food Extinctions aims to raise awareness and inspire action toward sustainable agriculture, climate adaptation, and disease prevention, offering insights into safeguarding our food future.

Healing Hearts and Minds - A...

LCSW Tracy Livecchi, PhD Liza...

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness. Much attention has rightly been focused on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information. 
 
 
 
Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.
