Summary

"Hurricane Preparedness" delivers a comprehensive approach to understanding and surviving tropical cyclones, combining scientific knowledge with practical survival strategies. The book expertly weaves together meteorological science, engineering principles, and real-world experience from major hurricanes like Andrew, Katrina, and Maria to create an authoritative guide for both coastal and inland communities facing these intensifying natural disasters.

 
Through a systematic progression, the book first establishes fundamental knowledge about hurricane formation and behavior, helping readers interpret weather data and warning systems. It then transitions into detailed, actionable guidance covering three critical phases: preparation, immediate response, and recovery. The guide excels in its practical application, offering specific instructions for creating emergency supply kits, developing family communication plans, and implementing hurricane-resistant construction methods based on National Hurricane Center and FEMA guidelines.

 
What sets this resource apart is its interdisciplinary approach, bridging the gap between complex meteorological concepts and everyday preparedness needs. Drawing from government databases, academic studies, and first-hand accounts, the book presents evidence-based strategies while remaining accessible to general readers. Each chapter concludes with actionable checklists, transforming scientific knowledge into practical steps for survival, while also addressing emerging concerns about climate change's impact on hurricane patterns and intensity.

    From the first microbial exchanges of DNA to Tinder and sexbots, how did sex begin, and how did it evolve to be so varied and complex in humans? What influence do our genetic ancestors have on our current love lives? And what might sex look like in the future? 
     
     
     
    With acuity, humor, and respect for human diversity, The Shortest History of Sex reveals where the many facets of our sexuality—chemical, anatomical, behavioral, social—come from. Chasing down our evolutionary family tree, from the first aquatic creatures to primate societies, David Baker sheds light on our baffling array of passions, impulses, and fetishes, and guides us toward a clear understanding of one of the deepest, most abiding forces of human nature. 
     
     
     
    The Shortest History of Sex also charts how sex changed for humans across the foraging, agrarian, and modern eras, showing how, even as our biology and sexual instincts have remained the same, the current nature of our sex lives has no historical or evolutionary precedent. 
     
     
     
    The result is a revealing, utterly unique insight into history and human behavior—and the profound forces of nature and nurture compelling our most intimate relationships.

    Against the Grain - How Farmers...

    Farmers in some of the world's oldest agricultural areas were toiling year after year, only to find that modern industrial agriculture was turning on itself. Industrial agriculture's effects on our climate and environment were multiplying and worsening, until the very families growing the world's food were starving. 
     
     
     
    They terraced the land to catch more rainwater and prevent soil runoff; they planted a diverse range of vegetables that would balance the nutrients in the soil; they replaced commercial fertilizers with organic matter from their own farms; they planted more trees and drought-resistant grains; and, perhaps most importantly, they taught their communities by example that these regenerative farming methods paid off—both in nourishing their families and in bringing their land back to life. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author and journalist Roger Thurow has traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, India, Guatemala, Peru, and the United States to share their stories, highlighting the conflicts inherent in our most important human endeavor: feeding the world using the methods of industrial agriculture is stripping the land of its ability to feed future generations. But these farmers are starting a new kind of revolution, nourishing both humans and the land, and following their lead could help us solve one of the great crises of our time.

    Lindley's groundbreaking book tells the true story of mis- and dis-information, why we've fallen so hard for them both, and how every one of us can fight back. 
    We’re living through the post-truth years, where it can feel almost impossible to separate fact from fiction in the information that we’re fed. But is it possible to escape the opinions created by false information and fake news, spread by our closest loved ones, friends, right up to world leaders? 
    Yes. There is hope. 
    The second edition of The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) unmasks the tell-tale signs that manipulation leaves behind – even in a post-truth world. We build up an essential toolkit to stop, step back from and sidestep misinformation and disinformation wherever our timelines take us. Through neuroscience, conspiracy beliefs, journalism, politics and AI, we’ll take a journey to alt-reality and back to build a happier, healthier future of truth.
