Sinopsis

"Microplastics Within Us" delivers a compelling investigation into one of today's most pressing environmental health concerns: the pervasive presence of plastic particles in human bodies. Opening with the startling fact that we consume approximately five grams of plastic weekly—equivalent to a credit card—the book methodically explores how these microscopic particles smaller than 5 millimeters have become unwanted residents in our biological systems.Through a well-structured examination, the book traces the journey of microplastics from their industrial and consumer sources into human bodies, supported by recent biomonitoring studies that have detected these particles in human blood, placenta, and organs. The investigation spans three crucial areas: contamination pathways, including food, water, and air; diverse sources ranging from synthetic textiles to cosmetics; and potential health implications.Drawing from World Health Organization research and environmental protection agency data, it presents a comprehensive picture of how these persistent pollutants interact with human biological systems. The book stands out for its balanced, multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from toxicologists, environmental scientists, and medical researchers. While maintaining scientific rigor, it remains accessible to general readers, offering practical guidance for reducing personal exposure alongside broader policy considerations.The work effectively bridges the gap between environmental science and public health, presenting both established findings and areas requiring further research, while emphasizing the urgency of addressing this global challenge through individual and collective action.

    The Common Uncommon - A Forest...

    From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. 
     
    For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the "common uncommon" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist.

    Nostradamus - The Prophesies of...

    Michel de Nostredame, referred to as Nostradamus in Latin, was a French astronomer, doctor, and presumed seer mostly known for his work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains supposedly predicting future events. In the year 1555, the book was first released. 
    Since the release of his Les Prophéties, Nostradamus has acquired a very large following of followers who, in addition to the majority of the well-known press, credit him with properly anticipating many essential historic events. 
    Many of scholastic sources deny that Nostradamus had any true super prophetic skills, saying that the connections he made between international events and his quatrains were the repercussion of misconceptions or mistranslations (at times purposeful). 
    These experts also point out that Nostradamus' predictions are usually uncertain, meaning they might be applied to practically anything, and for that reason are unhelpful in developing whether or not the writer has true prophetic powers. 
    In this book, let’s take a look at what he predicted and if any of it came true.
