Sinopse

"Salt Flat" explores the fascinating world of salt flats, diving into their geological origins, unique ecosystems, and the impact of human activities. These shimmering landscapes form when water evaporates from saline lakes, leaving behind mineral-rich plains. Often perceived as barren, salt flats teem with specially adapted life forms, including extremophiles that thrive in harsh, salty conditions. The book examines how salt flats serve as valuable archives of past climate conditions, providing insights into long-term environmental changes. It also addresses the complex relationship between humans and these environments, from resource extraction to conservation efforts.

 
"Salt Flat" progresses by first establishing the geological and hydrological processes involved in salt flat formation, then moves on to examine the biodiversity of these ecosystems, and concludes with a discussion of human impact. This book uniquely integrates geological, biological, and human perspectives, providing a complete picture of salt flats as dynamic and interconnected systems. By synthesizing geological surveys, hydrological data, and ecological studies, "Salt Flat" offers a comprehensive understanding of these environments and their role in the global environment.

The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue...

Mike Tidwell

In 2023, author and activist Mike Tidwell decided to keep a record for a full year of the growing impacts of climate change on his one urban block right on the border with Washington, DC. Tidwell's story depicts the neighborhood's battle to save the trees and combat climate change: The midwife who builds a geothermal energy system, the Congressman who battles cancer and climate change, and the Chinese-American climate scientist who wants to bury billions of the world's dying trees to store their carbon and help stabilize the atmosphere. 
 
 
 
The story goes beyond ailing trees as Tidwell chronicles people on his block coping with Lyme disease, a church with solar panels and floodwater, and young people anguishing over whether to have kids—all in the same neighborhood and all against the backdrop of 2023's record global temperatures and raging wildfires and hurricanes. Then there's Tidwell himself who explores the ethical and scientific questions surrounding the idea of "geoengineering" as a way to save the world's trees by reflecting sunlight away from the planet. 
 
 
 
No book has told the story of climate change this way: hyper-local, full of surprises, full of true stories of life and death in one neighborhood. The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue is a harrowing and hopeful proxy for every street in America and every place on Earth.

Thinking Small and Large - How...

Peter Forbes

The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places.



Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.



In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.
