Sinopsis

As we go about our day-to-day lives, digital information about who we are is gathered from all angles via biometric scans, passport applications, and, of course, social media. This data can never fully capture our complex, fluid identities over decades of our lives. Yet, this data populates numerous databases we may not even be aware of that can make life-or-death decisions such as who is allowed access to welfare benefits or who is granted food parcels as they pass war-torn borders.
Machine Readable Me considers how and why data that is gathered about us is increasingly limiting what we can and can't do in our lives and, crucially, what the alternatives are.

    Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
     
     
     
    Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
     
     
     
    To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

  • Seismology - Earthquakes: Understanding and Predicting Seismic Events - cover

    Seismology - Earthquakes:...

    Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth. It plays a crucial role in understanding the planet’s internal structure, predicting seismic hazards, and developing mitigation strategies. The field has evolved over centuries, combining geological observations with advanced instrumentation to analyze the forces that shape the Earth's surface. 
    The Earth's internal structure consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. These layers play a fundamental role in the behavior of seismic waves. The crust, the outermost layer, is broken into tectonic plates that move slowly over the more fluid mantle beneath. This movement generates stress along fault lines, eventually leading to earthquakes. The mantle, composed of semi-solid rock, allows for convection currents that drive plate tectonics. The outer core, a molten iron layer, generates Earth's magnetic field, while the solid inner core remains a mystery due to its extreme conditions. 
    Seismic waves are the energy waves generated by earthquakes and other seismic events. They are classified into body waves and surface waves. Body waves, which travel through the Earth’s interior, include primary (P) waves and secondary (S) waves. P-waves are the fastest and travel through both solids and liquids, while S-waves move slower and can only propagate through solids. Surface waves, which travel along the Earth's crust, are responsible for most of the destruction during an earthquake.
