Synopsis

Seed Bank Vaults explores humanity's critical insurance policy against agricultural disaster through the lens of global seed preservation networks. This comprehensive examination reveals how specialized facilities around the world safeguard our food supply's genetic diversity by preserving millions of seed varieties against threats like climate change, disease outbreaks, and human conflict.

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between technical preservation methods and their broader implications for global food security, making complex concepts accessible to both scientific professionals and engaged general readers. Through a carefully structured approach, the book begins with the historical evolution of seed preservation, from ancient farming practices to modern cryogenic storage technologies.

 
The narrative then expands to examine the intricate network of international facilities, with special attention given to landmark achievements like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Readers gain insight into the sophisticated preservation techniques employed by these facilities, including optimal storage conditions, viability testing, and regeneration protocols that ensure the longevity of stored genetic resources.

 
The final section of the book addresses contemporary challenges in agricultural preservation, examining how seed banks contribute to climate adaptation strategies and genetic resource conservation. By incorporating data from major agricultural research centers and first-hand accounts from facility operators, the book presents a compelling case for the vital role of seed preservation in maintaining agricultural heritage while securing future food production capabilities.

 
This comprehensive treatment makes the book an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of conservation biology, agricultural science, and global food security.

Shanghai Gone - Domicide and...

Qin Shao

“One of the best accounts of the reality of gentrification and urban development in China . . . grounded with solid historical, ethnographic and legal evidence” (Urban Studies). In recent decades, the centuries-old city of Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity. With its world famous skyscrapers, it now ranks with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. In Shanghai Gone, Qin Shao applies the concept of domicide—the eradication of a home against the will of its dwellers—to the sweeping destruction of neighborhoods, families, and life patterns that made way for the new Shanghai.   Shao gives voice to the holdouts and protesters who resisted domicide and demanded justice. She follows, among others, a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has become an amateur lawyer for evictees; and a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon.   Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the corrupt and rapacious pursuit of growth and profit, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.

The Back Story on Spine Care - A...

Dr. Drew Bednar

“A tour de force of spine care from a master spine surgeon who has literally seen it all over the course of a four-decade career! This book is a must-read that is accessible to both the layperson and healthcare professionals. I found it both enjoyable and informative.” — Dr. Andrew J. Schoenfeld, Harvard Medical School professor and Spine editor in chief
		 
A practical and occasionally provocative look at the state of spinal surgical care
		 
Just a few decades ago most spine surgery was literally a gamble: maybe you’d get better and maybe you wouldn’t. Today we have the knowledge, understanding, and technology to predictably relieve pain and neurological deficits like never before — yet many patients are still getting subpar care.  
		 
Foundational knowledge of surgical spine care isn’t spreading to the medical community, let alone to patients, whose quality of life hangs in the balance. With The Back Story on Spine Care, orthopedic specialist Dr. Drew Bednar presents case studies that illuminate the common issues plaguing patients — and their treatment — today.
		 
Back problems are among the most common health issues, and with Dr. Bednar’s insights, knowledge, and practical tips, medical professionals can provide care that leads to healthier backs and happier lives.
