Sinopse

"Plastic Pollution" delivers a compelling examination of one of today's most critical environmental challenges, revealing how the equivalent of one garbage truck worth of plastic enters our oceans every minute. This comprehensive analysis traces plastic's journey from its revolutionary beginnings to its current status as a global environmental crisis, supported by alarming statistics showing over 8.3 billion metric tons produced since the 1950s.The book methodically explores the science behind plastic pollution, examining how various plastics degrade into harmful microplastics and impact over 700 marine species. Through a combination of scientific research, expert interviews, and real-world case studies, it demonstrates how this crisis extends beyond environmental concerns to affect public health, economic systems, and social justice.Readers gain insights from multiple perspectives, including environmental scientists, marine biologists, and waste management experts, while learning about successful initiatives like Rwanda's plastic bag ban and San Francisco's reduction programs. What sets this book apart is its balanced, solution-oriented approach, combining academic rigor with accessible language and practical guidance.From individual consumer choices to international policy recommendations, it presents a clear roadmap for addressing plastic pollution at every level. The text seamlessly connects plastic pollution to broader issues like climate change and economic inequality, while maintaining focus on actionable solutions and emerging technologies that could help create a plastic-free future.

    The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place. 
    Never mind the bright yellow sunlight that flecks your pillow and warms your face; you are rudely awake, and resent it. Gah! 
    You roll onto your side, cantilever your legs over the side of the bed and plant your feet squarely on the carpet. You rub your face. Massage your neck. Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. 
    But what is it to be alive, and conscious? 
    Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? 
    A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. 
    So in this text, first I set the scene:Did our consciousness evolve?Does consciousness give us free will?Which animals do we think are conscious?Where does consciousness go when we sleep?How does consciousness deliver meaning?What might a theory of consciousness look like? 
    Then I propose:A model for consciousness at the macro scaleA mechanism for consciousness at the micro scale 
    Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here. This is a workable, testable theory. Science and philosophy demand nothing less. 
    A must-listen for the curious-minded, which you are, are you not? So listen on...

    This book follows a series of "conversations" with these tools, mainly with "chatGPT 4.0" but also with "Bard". It's well known that chatGPT is hampered in its research up to a certain point in time and, because they are language modeling tools, they end up inventing... a lot, especially in bibliographic references. However, accessory tools are emerging that make it possible to improve and even correct this situation, tools that will certainly become much more powerful in the future, but which are already a reality. So, using all these AI tools, a book has been created that aims to be a pedagogical tool that answers a series of questions that can be asked by secondary and higher education students, or even people who are just interested in these issues, but who don't have the access or predisposition to use these types of AI tools.

    Visualization is a powerful technique that involves creating mental images to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. At its core, visualization taps into the brain's ability to process imagery in a way that can lead to tangible changes in our lives. When we visualize, we engage not just our imagination but also activate neural pathways that enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This process can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve their mental health, boost their self-esteem, or navigate challenging situations in life.

    AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work—or to lead us into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be? 
     
     
     
    Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work? 
     
     
     
    So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, that's a very limited perspective on the impact of AI, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better—the key is in how leaders use it. 
     
     
     
    With deep insight and rigorous research, More Human will help leaders navigate our AI-enabled future.
