In 2023, the Supreme Court made one of its most devastating rulings in environmental history. By narrowing the legal definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS), the court opened the floodgates to unregulated pollution. But while tremendously consequential, the decision was also simply the latest in a long series of battles over WOTUS, and which rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and perhaps even farm fields were to be protected by the Clean Water Act of 1972. Waters of the United States is an unprecedented exploration of this history.

Prototipo del mostro acquatico nell'immaginario occidentale, fonte di ispirazione per filosofi e romanzieri, il Leviatano biblico è il punto di partenza per una indagine originale volta ad analizzare, in un confronto fra tradizioni classiche, ebraiche e cristiane, il sapere degli antichi in merito a draghi e mostri marini. Queste creature fantastiche, che presentano tratti comuni nelle diverse culture di area semitica e mediterranea, rivestono forti significati simbolici, impersonando il caos, l'avversario contro cui lotta la divinità.

बाल्यकाल में ही बधिरता जैसे अभिशाप को एकाग्रता जैसे अद्भुत गुण में परिवर्तित करनेवाले थॉमस अल्वा एडिसन ने जीवन के अंतिम प्रहर तक थकना नहीं सीखा। औपचारिक शिक्षा से वंचित होने पर भी साहित्य से लेकर विज्ञान तक का गहन अध्ययन करनेवाले इस वैज्ञानिक ने अपने कार्यकाल में औसतन हर पंद्रह दिन में एक पेटेंट हासिल किया; उनके जरिए दुनिया आधुनिक काल में प्रवेश कर गई और उपभोक्तावाद का प्रादुर्भाव हुआ।.

शौचालय का होना या न होना भर इस किताब का विषय नहीं है| यह तो केवल एक छोटी सी कड़ी है, शुचिता के तिकोने विचार में| इस त्रिकोण का अगर एक कोना है पानी, तो दूसरा है मिटटी, और तीसरा है हमारा शरीर| जल, थल और मल| पृथ्वी को बचाने की बात तो एकदम नहीं है| मनुष्य की जात को खुद अपने को बचाना है, अपने आप ही से| पुराना किस्सा बताता है की समुद्र मंथन से विष भी निकलता है और अमृत भी| यह धरती पर भी लागू होता है| हमारा मल या तो विष का रूप ले सकता है या अमृत का| इसका परिणाम किसी सरकार या राजनीतिक पार्टी या किसी नगर की नीति-अनीति से तय नहीं होगा| तय होगा तो हमारे समाज के मन की सफाई से| जल, थल और मल के संतुलन से|

Myself and Other Animals is a new book mosaicked from unpublished autobiographies, uncollected pieces and previously published extracts from Durrell’s work and archives. The result is an extraordinary journey through Durrell’s life in his own words, edited and introduced by his widow Lee Durrell. Moving from India to England and then to the always sun-lit Corfu, told with dry wit and insight into our fellow animals, here is the vivid finale of one of Britain’s most beloved conservationists and prose stylists.

The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse.

Le proiezioni delle previsioni dei vari parametri meteorologici a livello globale indicano un costante miglioramento delle prestazioni dei modelli numerici. La percentuale degli errori è in graduale decremento, grazie alle rinnovate capacità di calcolo di computer sempre più potenti. Nel 2020 si sono raggiunti i 7 giorni utili di previsione, un traguardo ragguardevole se sì pensa che negli anni 90 del secolo scorso ad esempio nella previsione dell'altezza del geopotenziale a 500 hPa si raggiungevano appena i 4 giorni.

From a young age, Victor Steffensen has had a passion for traditional cultural and ecological knowledge. This was further developed after meeting two Elders, who were to become his mentors and teach him the importance of cultural burning. Developed over many generations, this knowledge shows clearly that Australia actually needs fire. Steffensen's story is unassuming and honest, while demonstrating the incredibly sophisticated and complex cultural knowledge that has been passed down to him, which he wants to share with others.

Hay otra manera de estar y relacionarse con el mundo muy distinta a la que rige nuestra sociedad, dominada por un consumismo desbocado que nos está llevando a una catástrofe medioambiental sin precedentes y que tiene en los animales a una de sus principales víctimas. Y esta necesidad de...

Un sincero y revelador análisis de las posibilidades energéticas de nuestro futuro. Así pues, este libro aborda temas tan importantes como la improbable y difícil tarea de descarbonizar el planeta, en parte por la estrecha relación entre la producción de alimentos y los combustibles fósiles, pero también destapa realidades incómodas, como la dependencia de las economías modernas respecto de la alta producción de amoníaco, metal, cemento y plástico.

Es wird wärmer und die Ursache ist das Kohlendioxid aus der Verbrennung von Kohle, Gas und Öl. Ein globaler Umstieg auf erneuerbaren Energien ist aber weder technisch noch finanziell rechtzeitig zu schaffen. Wir brauchen einen Plan B um Zeit zu gewinnen. Eine Chance bieten die Ozeane und Landpflanzen, die jedes Jahr rund die Hälfte der CO2 Emissionen absorbieren. Damit würde es zunächst genügen, die Emissionen auf die Hälfte zu senken und die CO2 Konzentration in der Atmosphäre bliebe konstant.

Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. The problem is, none of this will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change.

Imagine a world where you don't have to pay a fortune on energy bills, waste energy and water, and destroy the planet piece by piece only to make your living more comfortable. A world where you have access to the tools and techniques essential to facilitate your daily routine while living in harmony with the planet. This audiobook is your guide to this world.

Poacher Hunter contains seven of his best tales to date.

The revised and expanded third edition of Hot Talk, Cold Science forms the capstone of the distinguished astrophysicist Dr. S. Fred Singer’s lucid, yet hard scientific look at climate change. And the book is no less explosive than its predecessors—and certainly never more timely. Singer explores the inaccuracies in historical climate data and the failures of climate models, as well as the impact of solar variability, clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate—plus factors that could mitigate any human impact on world climate.
