Sinopse

"Poisonous Touch" explores the fascinating realm of animals employing topical poisons as a defense mechanism, revealing their ecological significance and the evolutionary pressures that shaped their toxicity. The book examines creatures like poison dart frogs and toxic sea slugs, detailing their unique poisons and delivery methods. It highlights how the evolution of these defenses is a crucial adaptation for survival, significantly influencing predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem stability. The book delves into the evolutionary origins of these defenses, exploring genetic mutations and selective pressures. "Poisonous Touch" also investigates the ecological impacts of poisonous species, illustrated by case studies like the introduction of cane toads to Australia. The book's comprehensive approach synthesizes information from biology, ecology, and evolutionary science. Structured in three major sections, "Poisonous Touch" begins with foundational concepts of toxicity. It then surveys a range of poisonous creatures and their evolutionary origins, before examining the impacts on humans and potential medical breakthroughs. This approach provides a holistic understanding of topical poisons in the animal kingdom, making it valuable for students, researchers, and nature enthusiasts alike.

    In 2023, the Supreme Court made one of its most devastating rulings in environmental history. By narrowing the legal definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS), the court opened the floodgates to unregulated pollution. But while tremendously consequential, the decision was also simply the latest in a long series of battles over WOTUS, and which rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and perhaps even farm fields were to be protected by the Clean Water Act of 1972. 
     
     
      
    Waters of the United States is an unprecedented exploration of this history—and its importance for today's efforts to conserve a critical natural resource. The book not only examines how bodies of water are legally defined (and therefore protected), but who gets to decide on these definitions. The result is a fascinating look at the ongoing power struggle between the president and federal agencies, the courts, the states, and Congress, over water quality. 
     
     
      
    Waters of the United States offers the detailed analysis necessary for any lawyer or environmental advocate to understand the nuances of water policy, while spinning a compelling narrative for listeners who have never cracked a law book. The unique mix of insights into environmental law, history, and politics is required for anyone who cares about the future of the nations water.

    This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet. 
    I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing. 
    Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos. 
    There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades. 
    For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper. 
    That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years? 
    There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth. 
    Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.
