A Poison Like No Other
"Informed, utterly blindsiding account." - Booklist, starred review It's falling from the sky and is in the air we breathe. It's in our food, our clothes, and our homes. It's microplastic and it's everywhere--including our own bodies. Scientists are just beginning to discover how these tiny particles threaten health, but the studies are alarming. A Poison Like No Other is the first book to fully explore this new dimension of the plastic crisis. Matt Simon follows the intrepid scientists who travel to the ends of the earth and the bottom of the ocean to understand the consequences of our dependence on plastic. Unlike other pollutants that are single elements or simple chemical compounds, microplastics represent a cocktail of toxicity linked to diseases ranging from diabetes to cancer. There is no easy fix, Simon warns. But we will never curb our plastic addiction until we begin to recognize the invisible particles all around us.

Nach uns die Energiewende
Entwurf einer neuen Energieversorgung In den letzten Jahrzehnten sind einige Grossprojekte in Deutschland massiv aus dem Ruder gelaufen - Elbphilharmonie, Magistrale Rotterdam-Genua, Stuttgart21, Flughafen BER etc. Das wird bald von der Energiewende alles in den Schatten gestellt werden. Noch ahnen die Verantwortlichen Politiker nicht, wie schwierig die Wende noch werden wird. Was bislang geschehen ist, ist vergleichsweise Kleinkram gegen das, was notwendig wird, wenn die grossen Kraftwerke die Strombedarfslücken nicht mehr schliessen können. Was hier passiert ist nicht nur ein Austausch der Energieversorgung, es wird ein Umbruch der Gesellschaftsordnung. Die halbe Industriellandschaft mus...
The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
