Synopsis

Urban Wildlife Adaptation presents a fascinating exploration of how animals and plants actively evolve and adapt to survive in human-dominated urban environments. The book challenges the outdated notion of cities as biological wastelands, instead revealing them as dynamic ecosystems where wildlife develops sophisticated survival strategies through behavioral, physiological, and genetic adaptations.

 
Through compelling case studies spanning six continents, the book showcases remarkable examples of urban adaptation, including birds modifying their songs to overcome city noise and raccoons developing enhanced problem-solving abilities. The research combines traditional ecological fieldwork with cutting-edge technology, using tools like thermal imaging, GPS tracking, and AI-driven analysis to document these evolutionary changes.

 
Each chapter builds systematically from immediate behavioral responses to long-term genetic modifications, supported by extensive field observations and citizen science initiatives. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to understanding urban ecosystems, bridging the gap between academic research and practical applications.

 
While maintaining scientific rigor, the book presents complex ecological concepts in an accessible manner, making it valuable for both professionals and educated general readers. The insights offered are particularly relevant for urban planners, conservationists, and anyone interested in promoting biodiversity in increasingly urbanized landscapes, providing practical solutions for human-wildlife coexistence while advancing our understanding of rapid evolution in anthropogenic environments.

Epidemiology - Tracking Diseases

Mike Crawford

Epidemiology is the scientific study of the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health and disease conditions in populations. It serves as the cornerstone of public health, enabling researchers and policymakers to understand how diseases spread, who is most at risk, and what factors contribute to health outcomes. By identifying these elements, epidemiology helps in designing and implementing effective disease prevention and control measures, ultimately improving public health and reducing the burden of illnesses. 
The significance of epidemiology lies in its ability to provide a systematic approach to studying health-related issues. Through observation, data collection, and statistical analysis, epidemiologists uncover trends in disease occurrence and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. This discipline extends beyond infectious diseases, encompassing chronic conditions, environmental health hazards, and even social determinants of health. By examining these factors, epidemiologists can offer insights into the root causes of health disparities and develop strategies to mitigate them. 
One of the key contributions of epidemiology is its role in disease surveillance. Monitoring the spread of infectious diseases, such as influenza, tuberculosis, or COVID-19, allows health authorities to implement timely responses, including vaccinations, quarantine measures, and public health advisories. Without epidemiology, controlling outbreaks and minimizing their impact on society would be significantly more challenging.

Hothouse Earth

Bill McGuire

"Providing a post-COP26 perspective on the climate emergency, Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant's Guide acknowledges that it is now practically impossible to keep this side of the 1.5°C dangerous climate-change guardrail. The upshot is that we can no longer dodge the arrival of a disastrous, all-pervasive climate breakdown that will come as a hammer blow to global society and economy. Bill McGuire, Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards, explains the science behind the climate crisis, painting a blunt but authentic picture of the sort of world our children will grow old in, and our grandchildren grow up in, a world that we catch only glimpses of in today's blistering heatwaves, calamitous wildfires, and ruinous floods and droughts. Bleak though it is, the picture is one we must all face up to, if only to spur genuine action—even at this late stage—to stop a harrowing future from becoming a truly cataclysmic one."

Relationship Equity - Your...

Richard Walker

“Humanity is the core of our business.” — Richard Walker

As the CEO of a prominent IT consulting firm, York Solutions, Richard Walker has applied the principle of Relationship Equity to achieve tremendous business success as he builds the tech talent pool and helps professionals develop their careers. Walker describes Relationship Equity as the good faith you can build by investing in relationships faithfully and steadily, with no expectation of reaping a return.

In his new book, Relationship Equity: Your Cornerstone Investment to Great Gains in Business and Life, Walker takes his readers on a journey of discovery, examining a principle with the power to revolutionize both business and personal lives.

He explains that the relationships we forge with others are of supreme importance—and when you get those right, the rest will follow.

“If you are a friend who is genuine,” he writes, “you will have genuine friends—and lo and behold— they will want to help you just as you have helped them.”

Sounds simple? It’s not.

Relationship Equity has many nuances, and Walker explores them all in Relationship Equity. To share the story of how he developed the philosophy, he escorts his readers back to the small-town world of his youth in northern England, then onward to his corporate life at the helm of a thriving American tech company.

“In our families, our businesses, our communities, our world—we need one another,” Walker writes. “We are not islands unto ourselves.”

In his new book, Walker teaches us what he and his company are doing today to pay forward the many acts of kindness that have come his way through the years. Richard Walker has made it his business to change lives for the better, and his business reflects that.

The Final Pandemic - An Antidote...

Dr Samantha Bailey, Dr Mark Bailey

Humanity is under assault from pandemics but not for the reasons that the mainstream sources portray. This book examines the claims regarding alleged “contagious” disease outbreaks such as COVID-19 to shed more light on what they are, or perhaps more importantly, what they are not. The belief that germs from the natural environment (or a laboratory) are attacking us has led most of the population to go along with lockdowns, civil rights restrictions, unprecedented peacetime censorship and more vaccines. However, when the foundational science is exposed and it is understood how the cases are created, no “pandemic” looks the same ever again.
In line with our other content we dissect multiple aspects of what has been put forward as scientific evidence for germ theory, alleged “viruses,” diagnostic tests, and “treatments” whether they be drugs or vaccines. It is all too often a world of mythology with carefully constructed narratives designed to benefit the medico-pharmaceutical industry and other vested interests. Unfortunately, it pulls the public into a belief system that is not only counterproductive to health but frequently life shortening and sometimes deadly. We have endeavoured to illustrate this with famous case examples to demonstrate how the media promotes deception with fear-inducing sensationalised headlines that are often bereft of scientific evidence. Just as important is how the illusions are maintained and we share our own experiences of what happens when doctors speak out against the prevailing narrative. The Final Pandemic is a title that announces that the concept of contagious and death-dealing ‘germs’ is finished. Hopefully this helps people realise that there is no need to participate in these man-made “crises” ever again.
"...the evidence the authors have presented here is quite simply, irrefutable, however alarming that conclusion might be." - Prof. Tim Noakes
