Pages : 265
Book Description
“A galvanizing exposé” of America’s trash problem from plastic in the ocean to “wasteful packaging, bogus recycling, and flawed landfills and incinerators” (Booklist, starred review). Eat a take-out meal, buy a pair of shoes, or read a newspaper, and you’re soon faced with a bewildering amount of garbage. The United States is the planet’s number-one producer of trash. Each American throws out 4.5 pounds daily. But garbage is also a global problem. Today, the Pacific Ocean contains six times more plastic waste than zooplankton. How did we end up with this much rubbish, and where does it all go? Journalist and filmmaker Heather Rogers answers these questions by taking readers on a grisly and fascinating tour through the underworld of garbage. Gone Tomorrow excavates the history of rubbish handling from the nineteenth century to the present, pinpointing the roots of today’s waste-addicted society. With a “lively authorial voice,” Rogers draws connections between modern industrial production, consumer culture, and our throwaway lifestyle (New York Press). She also investigates the politics of recycling and the export of trash to poor countries, while offering a potent argument for change. “A clear-thinking and peppery writer, Rogers presents a galvanizing exposé of how we became the planet’s trash monsters. . . . [Gone Tomorrow] details everything that is wrong with today’s wasteful packaging, bogus recycling, and flawed landfills and incinerators. . . . Rogers exhibits black-belt precision.” —Booklist, starred review

Plant Science Today & Tomorrow
Author: Dr. Arpita Chatterjee & Dr. swapan Mandal
Publisher: Insta Publishing
ISBN: 9390719895
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Plant science is a vast arena in the sphere of life science dealing with many facets of traditional and modern biology. The subject encompasses botany and allied subject matters including taxonomy, phycology, mycology, pathology, microbiology, genetics, pharmacology, paleo studies, ethnobotany, ecology, anatomy, physiology as different diversified braches. Beside these traditional subjects modern research includes biochemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, nanotechnology, herbal drugs, etc. Though majority of the research and studies of the plant science focus on the land plant, but the economic importance of plant species present in waterbodies cannot be neglected due to the huge growing demands and necessity as well. Moreover, air born microbes are also significant as potential pathogens of different diseases. From the beginning of the twenty‐first century, it has become evident that the environmental issues are posing threat to mankind, mainly due to loss of forest plants. This also results in the biodiversity loss in a broad sense. This book is an effort to cover many modern aspects of plant science as many as possible, in the light of recent trends of researches. Here, the authors expressed their views in different corners of plant science and focused on the recent researches going on in this direction. We hope this book will be helpful for the readers to generate knowledge in the subject area.
