Sinopsis

Ice Shelf explores the critical role of these vast, floating ice platforms in our planet's climate system. These extensions of glaciers, found predominantly in Antarctica and Greenland, act as crucial buttresses, slowing the flow of land-based ice into the ocean. While their disintegration doesn't directly raise sea levels, their loss accelerates the discharge of grounded ice, significantly contributing to sea level rise. The book delves into processes such as basal melting and iceberg calving, fundamental to understanding ice shelf dynamics.

 
The book traces the evolution of our understanding of ice shelves, from early explorations to the sophisticated satellite observations of today. It emphasizes the social and economic implications of ice shelf loss, particularly for vulnerable coastal communities. Using diverse data sources, it examines changes in ice shelf extent and thickness, connecting glaciology, oceanography, and climatology. Ice Shelf presents a comprehensive yet accessible overview.

 
The book progresses logically, first introducing the fundamental properties of ice and ocean interactions. It then analyzes the processes controlling ice shelf mass balance, dedicating chapters to basal melting, surface melting, and iceberg calving. Finally, it discusses observed changes in Antarctica and Greenland and their implications for global sea level rise, providing a holistic view of these Earth Science giants.

    The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our globalized food system and highlighted the desperate need for local and regional supplies of healthy meat. We must replace corn-based feedlots, which are responsible for significant climate emissions, nitrogen pollution, and animal suffering. Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World outlines a hopeful path out of our broken food system via regional networks of regeneratively produced meat. In 2017, Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger went to market with Big Picture Beef, a company that partners with farmers across the Northeast to increase access to wholesale markets while promoting holistic grazing management techniques. The result? Increased health benefits for consumers, the environment, and livestock. This book compiles information from the fields of ecology, climate science, nutrition, and animal welfare, along with on-the-farm stories from Ridge’s travels as a consultant all over the world. It reveals that regenerative grazing can restore degraded farmland, protect against droughts and floods, increase biodiversity, combat climate change by reducing emissions and sequestering carbon, contribute to regional economic development, and produce nutrient-dense meat for consumers. This book is for anyone wondering how our farmers and ranchers can raise cattle while also caring for the local and global environment. It includes a foreword by Gabe Brown, the bestselling author of Dirt to Soil.

    A portrait of India in mid-sentence - caught between tradition and transformation, noise and nuance. 
    'Penetrating insights into our sense of self... he has turned the observation of society into a gentle art form.' - Pratap Bhanu Mehta, academic and public intellectual 
    'The prose laureate of India's hybrid modernity... required reading for anyone trying to get a handle on Hindustan.' - Mukul Kesavan, writer 
    'A triumph of opinion journalism... he gets into the mind of India and tells us clearly what he sees.' -Manu Joseph, author 
     
    From selfies and what they mean to the travails of modern love and the new vocabulary of politics, Santosh Desai returns to chronicle the invisible revolutions of Indian life with his signature wit and insight. In Memes for Mummyji, he explores how the mobile phone - now as common as the pressure cooker - has quietly reshaped everything: how we shop, flirt, pray, protest, and parent.  
    This is not a book about technology. It's about us. Our habits, our contradictions, our new-found freedoms - and the deep cultural software that still runs underneath. Warm, keenly perceptive and deeply human, this book, with essays drawn from over a decade of observation, is a love letter to the everyday theatre of Indian life in the digital age.

    The Final Pandemic - An Antidote...

    Humanity is under assault from pandemics but not for the reasons that the mainstream sources portray. This book examines the claims regarding alleged “contagious” disease outbreaks such as COVID-19 to shed more light on what they are, or perhaps more importantly, what they are not. The belief that germs from the natural environment (or a laboratory) are attacking us has led most of the population to go along with lockdowns, civil rights restrictions, unprecedented peacetime censorship and more vaccines. However, when the foundational science is exposed and it is understood how the cases are created, no “pandemic” looks the same ever again. 
    In line with our other content we dissect multiple aspects of what has been put forward as scientific evidence for germ theory, alleged “viruses,” diagnostic tests, and “treatments” whether they be drugs or vaccines. It is all too often a world of mythology with carefully constructed narratives designed to benefit the medico-pharmaceutical industry and other vested interests. Unfortunately, it pulls the public into a belief system that is not only counterproductive to health but frequently life shortening and sometimes deadly. We have endeavoured to illustrate this with famous case examples to demonstrate how the media promotes deception with fear-inducing sensationalised headlines that are often bereft of scientific evidence. Just as important is how the illusions are maintained and we share our own experiences of what happens when doctors speak out against the prevailing narrative. The Final Pandemic is a title that announces that the concept of contagious and death-dealing ‘germs’ is finished. Hopefully this helps people realise that there is no need to participate in these man-made “crises” ever again. 
    "...the evidence the authors have presented here is quite simply, irrefutable, however alarming that conclusion might be." - Prof. Tim Noakes
