Synopsis

"Next-Gen Plastics" delves into the crucial topic of biodegradable polymers and their potential to address global plastic pollution. It investigates whether these materials offer a genuine solution or merely represent "greenwashing." The book examines the science behind biodegradable plastics, highlighting that many require specific industrial conditions to break down effectively, a stark contrast to their performance in typical disposal scenarios. Further, it assesses the complete lifecycle of these plastics, from production to degradation, to understand their true environmental impact, including the potential contribution to microplastic pollution.

 
The book systematically progresses through the history of plastics and their ecological consequences, then transitions to a detailed analysis of various biodegradable polymer types like polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). It emphasizes the critical need for proper waste management infrastructure and realistic degradation timelines to maximize the benefits of these materials. The book uniquely integrates material science, environmental policy, and industrial ecology to provide a complete view.

 
Ultimately, "Next-Gen Plastics" equips readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about plastic use and disposal, contributing to a more sustainable future.

    Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells. This buildup leads to scaling on the skin's surface, which can appear as red patches covered with thick, silvery scales. The condition is often itchy and can be painful. Psoriasis can occur on various parts of the body, including the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. 
      
    The exact cause of psoriasis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. While there is no cure for psoriasis, various treatments can help manage symptoms, including topical treatments, phototherapy, and systemic medications.

  • Tokens - The Future of Money in the Age of the Platform - cover

    Tokens - The Future of Money in...

    Wherever you look, money is being replaced by tokens. Digital platforms are issuing new kinds of money-like things, from phone credit, to shares, gift vouchers, game tokens, and customer data. These tokens are used to turn invisible stuff into assets, to pay wages, to track purchases, and to program and specify the terms of financial and political access and inclusion. What does it mean when online platforms become the new banks? What new types of control and discrimination emerge when money is tied to specific apps, or actions, politics, or identities? 
     
     
     
    By exploring the history of experiments in extra-monetary economies, O'Dwyer shows that private and grassroots tokens have always ghosted the real economy. But as the large tech platforms issue new money-like instruments, tokens are suddenly everywhere. Amazon's Turk workers getting paid in gift cards. Online streamers trading in wish lists. Gamers working for virtual gold. Coined memes selling for thousands. Bitcoin, gift cards, NFTs, customer data, and game tokens are the new money in an evolving economy. This challenges the balance of power between online empires and the state. For platforms, tokens can be an extra-regulatory sleight of hand. But for everyday users, workers, and online subcultures, tokens can also be subversive, a way of imagining what money could be, now and in the future.

    All About Ball Lightning - Also...

    Ball Lightning is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings of these weird balls. 
     It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
     St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon are included too. 
     There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
     My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
     In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
     This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
