Book Description
* GEORGE MONBIOT IS THE WINNER OF THE 2022 ORWELL PRIZE FOR JOURNALISM * What if there were a way to stop climate change and end global hunger at the same time? The way we feed ourselves is destroying the planet, and a collection of crises have brought the global food supply to its breaking point. But it doesn't have to be this way. With technology that already exists, we could sustainably provide everyone on the planet with a healthy diet. By cultivating hydrogen-eating bacteria, deep-rooted plants, and much richer communities of insects--coupled with existing technology to reduce our dependence on meat--we can dramatically reduce our carbon footprint, solve world hunger, and halt the sixth extinction at the same time. George Monbiot is an internationally renowned climate activist, widely known for bringing bold, creative thinking to the climate and ecological crises facing our planet. Now, he turns his attention to the global food system to offer a reimagining of the way we feed ourselves on a scale to fit the urgency of the problems we face.

Regenesis
Author: George M Church

ISBN: 0465038654
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A Harvard biologist and master inventor explores how new biotechnologies will enable us to bring species back from the dead, unlock vast supplies of renewable energy, and extend human life. In Regenesis, George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms. These technologies-far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction-have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even extend our life span. A breathtaking look at the potential of this world-changing technology, Regenesis is nothing less than a guide to the future of life.

Pages : 276
Book Description
The evolution of sustainability, with a practical framework for integration Regenerative Development and Design takes sustainability to the next level, and provides a framework for incorporating regenerative design principles into your current process. The Regenesis Group is a coalition of experienced design, land-use, planning, business, and development professionals who represent the forefront of the movement; in this book, they explain what regenerative development is, how and why it works, and how you can incorporate the fundamental principles into your practice. A clear, focused framework shows you how to merge regenerative concepts with your existing work, backed by numerous examples that guide practical application while illustrating regenerative design and development in action. As the most comprehensive and systemic approach to regenerative development, this book is a must-have resource for architects, planners, and designers seeking the next step in sustainability. Regenerative design and development positions humans as co-creative and mutually-evolving participants in an ecosystem—not just a built environment. This book describes how to bring that focus to your design from the earliest stages. Understand the fundamentals of regenerative design and development Learn how regenerative development contributes to sustainability Integrate regenerative development concepts into practice Examine sample designs that embody the regenerative concept To create a design with true sustainability, considerations must extend far beyond siting, materials, and efficiency. Designers must look at the place, it's inhabitants, and the purpose—the whole living ecosystem—and proceed with their work from that more humbling perspective. The finished product should itself be an ecosystem and sustainable economy, which is the root of the regenerative development approach. Sustainability has evolved, and the designer's responsibility has increased in kind. Regenerative Development and Design provides an authoritative resource for those ready to take the next step forward.

Book Description
When brain health is failing, elements of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and mood disorders may displace vibrancy, consciousness, and personality. Maintaining brain health is existential combat between the forces of destruction and regeneration. Infections, toxins, damage, and preprogrammed biological clocks all contribute to brain degeneration. Many health books propose to shield our bodies from the forces of destruction with unproven diets and salutary potions; they are attempting to fight the Grim Reaper with a water pistol. In Regenesis: The Brain Doctor's Guide to Health a neurologist, a psychiatrist, a neuropsychologist, and a gastroenterologist combine their expertise to help readers understand and overcome the forces that interfere with graceful and healthy aging. A successful health strategy must deploy powerful measures to counter those of destruction and enlist the forces that promote regeneration. This is mortal combat. Are you ready for the challenge?

Book Description
Winner of the 2022 Orwell Prize for Journalism | A Sunday Times (London) Bestseller | Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation “George Monbiot is one of the most fearless and important voices in the global climate movement today.” —Greta Thunberg For the first time in millennia, we have the opportunity to transform not only our food system but our entire relationship to the living world. Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction—and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticize urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have plowed, fenced, and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry and the price of food is rising faster than ever. Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet. Regenesis is a breathtaking vision of a new future for food and for humanity. Drawing on astonishing advances in soil ecology, Monbiot reveals how our changing understanding of the world beneath our feet could allow us to grow more food with less farming. He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionizing our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from plows and poisons; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how the tiniest life forms could help us make peace with the planet, restore its living systems, and replace the age of extinction with an age of regenesis.

Book Description
What is the meaning of life? Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? These questions have been asked and answered thousands of times before, but would you like to know what God thinks of you from His perspective? Many of us attend church and have been taught Christian doctrine, but institutionalized religion cannot teach us Gods truth from His perspective. Sadly, nor can it, because religion is concerned with what man must do to get right with God. We have all been taught the truth, but perhaps not the whole truth. The salvation message we have been taught is just a small starting point along this exciting journey. Now is the time to discover the primary reason you are on earth as sojourners: to occupy earth with the atmosphere of heaven. This book does not teach new ways to become who you want to be or self-realization techniques. However, it shows you who you already are from Gods perspective. You were created on purpose for a purpose, but we have all forgotten who we are. Deep down, you know you are good, yet God created you even better than good. This journey of self-discovery is unlike anything you have read before. You will never look at yourself in the mirror the same way again. The truth is already in you, but will you believe it? You just need help remembering. Regenesis is about newness when all things become new again through truth, change and oneness.
