Beschreibung

Vertical Farming explores the revolutionary potential of stacked growing systems to address urbanization, climate change, and resource scarcity. This book examines the technology, economic viability, and societal implications of vertical farms, highlighting their promise for increased crop yields, reduced water consumption, and localized food production. Did you know vertical farms can minimize land use while maximizing output, potentially transforming urban food systems? The book traces the history of controlled environment agriculture, explaining the scientific advancements in hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics. 

 
The book is structured to provide a comprehensive overview; it starts by introducing core concepts like system designs and environmental control. It then moves into detailed explorations of economic factors, such as capital investment and market analysis, and environmental impacts, including life cycle assessments and energy usage optimization. 

 
The book argues that vertical farms are a viable and necessary component of a sustainable food future, not a replacement for traditional agriculture. The book culminates by discussing societal implications, like addressing food deserts and promoting community engagement.

    Mammals, the dominant group of warm-blooded vertebrates on Earth today, have a deep evolutionary history that stretches back over 300 million years. Their origins can be traced to the synapsids, a group of amniotes that first appeared in the late Carboniferous period. These early synapsids were distinct from reptiles and birds, possessing a single temporal fenestra, an opening in the skull that allowed for stronger jaw muscles. Over millions of years, synapsids diversified into a variety of forms, some of which gave rise to the therapsids, the direct ancestors of modern mammals. 
    During the Permian period, therapsids became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates, developing more advanced characteristics such as differentiated teeth, a more upright posture, and improved metabolic efficiency. However, the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the most severe mass extinction in Earth's history, led to a significant decline in their diversity. Those that survived continued to evolve, giving rise to cynodonts, a subgroup of therapsids that displayed increasingly mammal-like features. Cynodonts had more complex teeth, enhanced jaw mechanics, and possibly even fur, adaptations that would later define true mammals.

    The subjects of time and dimensional travel really fascinate me. I went to Engineering School and took advanced courses in physics and mathematics so I have a pretty good understanding of science’s view of our Universe. 
    I’ve also been fortunate to have learned and practiced techniques to become more spiritually and psychically developed. One of the things this led to were my numerous experiences with premonitions and prophecy which I’ve written about. 
    My research also led me to write several books about stories of real time travel and dimensional shifting experiences. 
    This book is a series and questions and answers to review and discuss what I’ve learned about time and dimensions which I hope will shed some light on the mysteries of these strange phenomena. 
    The world is much more mysterious than we ever thought possible and our speculation is part of our developing an understanding of our universe.

    This program is read by the author."As a mature observer of the human condition, Marsh has audible serenity that makes listeners curious about how his story ends." - AudioFile MagazineFrom the bestselling neurosurgeon and author of Do No Harm, comes Henry Marsh's And Finally, an unflinching and deeply personal exploration of death, life and neuroscience.As a retired brain surgeon, Henry Marsh thought he understood illness, but he was unprepared for the impact of his diagnosis of advanced cancer. And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much an audiobook about death, but an audiobook about life and what matters in the end.
