Sinopse

"The Plastic Journey" navigates the intricate narrative of plastic, from its groundbreaking origins to its current status as a global environmental crisis. The environmental impact of plastic is immense; for instance, microplastic contamination has been found in our food chain and water supplies, highlighting the urgent need for solutions. The evolution of plastic, initially seen as a resource-saving alternative, has led to a proliferation of types, each with unique properties impacting durability and recyclability. The book explores potential remedies, such as biodegradable and bio-based plastics, while also examining the roles of policy changes, technological innovations, and individual responsibility in mitigating plastic pollution. The narrative connects to broader discussions about climate change and resource depletion, emphasizing the need for a multi-faceted approach to sustainable development. By presenting the science, history, and potential solutions, "The Plastic Journey" empowers readers to become informed advocates for change.

    'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS 
    'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR 
    What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome? 
    Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey. 
    For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head. 
    He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments. 
    This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all. 
    Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients. 
    For fans of Lucy Johnstone (Users and Abusers of Psychiatry), Esmé Weijun Wang (The Collected Schizophrenias), Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Dr Joseph Jebelli (The Brain at Rest), and Paul Gilbert (CFT Made Simple).

    'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
    Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
    'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
    'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin
