Sinopsis

"Pesticides of Today" offers a comprehensive exploration of modern pesticide use, its impacts, and innovative approaches to pest management. The book delves into the complex relationship between agricultural productivity and environmental health, examining how pesticides affect human health, ecosystems, and food safety. It traces the history of pesticide use from ancient times to the present, providing readers with essential background knowledge to understand the subject's intricacies.

 
At its core, the book argues that while pesticides have significantly boosted agricultural yields and controlled disease vectors, their widespread use has created unintended consequences requiring urgent attention. It presents a balanced view, drawing on scientific studies, case studies, and interdisciplinary connections to support its arguments.

 
The book explores cutting-edge approaches to pest management, including integrated pest management and biological control methods, offering practical advice for reducing pesticide exposure and implementing alternative pest control strategies.

 
What sets this book apart is its nuanced approach to a controversial topic, making complex scientific concepts accessible to a general audience while maintaining academic rigor. By addressing ongoing debates and acknowledging regional variations in pesticide use and regulation, "Pesticides of Today" equips readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions and engage in broader discussions about the future of agriculture and environmental protection.

    The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. 
     
     
     
    Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats, squirrels, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. 
     
     
     
    Flaco's urban adventure brought controversy, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the safety of the zoo against those who created the "Free Flaco" movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought scores of enthusiasts to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban environments, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City.

    Mysterious 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.

    A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
     
     
     
    Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.
