Ehringer J: Ecology of Tampa Bay

Ecology of Tampa Bay

Exploring the Interconnected Ecosystems of Florida's Largest Estuary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• The author of Finding the Mother Tree offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal. "A masterclass on the inner workings of forests. . . . This is science as an act of love for the world.” —Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters Early one spring morning, I went back to the forest. I wanted to learn what the mother trees could teach me about survival and adaptability, about living and dying. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires,&nbsp;water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration—from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones—that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions—particularly destruction of the overstory's mother trees—endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.

Weltgeschichte - Vom Urknall bis zur heutigen Welt im Umbruch

Prof. Dr. Gerhard Picot ist einer der renommiertesten Wirtschaftsanwälte im Fachgebiet der Unternehmenskäufe, Fusionen und Börsengänge (Mergers &amp; Acquisitions - M&amp;A) (www.picot.de). Seine Freizeit widmet er seinem Faible, der Philosophie, sowie der Welt- und Rechtsgeschichte. Im Grunde ist sein Ziel ganz einfach: Es geht ihm um das Verständnis des Universums und der Menschheit vom Urknall bis zu unserer heutigen, im Umbruch befindlichen Welt (www.weltgeschichte.de).

Bücher über die Weltgeschichte gibt es viele. Aber diese WELTGESCHICHTE ist anders. In diesem chronologischen Portrait beschreibt der Autor in einzigartiger Weise die Entstehung und Erforschung unseres Universums mit den folgenden Themen:
1 Unsere Erde: Der blaue Planet mit seinem Erdmond 
(Entstehung: vor 4,56 Mrd. Jahren)
2 Die Zeitskalen unserer Erde und Welt sowie
die drei Entwicklungsstadien der Erde
3 Das 1. Entwicklungsstadium der Erde als sog. Planetesimale
(vor 4,54 Mrd. Jahren)
4 Das 2. Entwicklungsstadium der Erde als sog. "Präkambrium" und "eigentliche Erdgeschichte" bis zum Erd-Zeitalter des beginnenden tierischen Lebens (vor 4,56 Mrd. bis vor 541 Mio. Jahren)
5 Das 3. Entwicklungsstadium der Erde als Kambrium bzw. "Zeitalter des sichtbaren Lebens" und die "Kambrische Explosion" 
(seit 541 Mio. Jahren)
6 Die Erde im Erdaltertum (vor 541 - 252,2 Mio. Jahren)
7 Die Erde im Erdmittelalter (vor 252,2 - 66 Mio. Jahren)
8 Die Erde in der Erdneuzeit, dem Paläogen, Neogen und Quartär
(seit 66 Mio. Jahren)
9 Das aktuelle "Anthropozän" als "antropogenes Menschenzeitalter"
(seit den 1950er Jahren - heute)
10 Die Gewissheit des Weltunterganges beim Erlöschen der Sonne
(in 5 Mrd. Jahren)

Dem Verfasser gelingt es, all diese Entwicklungen chronologisch, tiefgründig und doch kurzweilig mit allen wichtigen Erkenntnissen der heutigen Wissenschaft darzustellen.

Die Entwicklung und Erforschung unseres blauen Planeten "Erde" seit 4,54 Mrd. Jahren bis heute

Weltgeschichte - Vom Urknall bis zur heutigen Welt im Umbruch - Band III

An engaging and thought-provoking introduction to river scienceWhen we look at a river, either up close or while flying over a river valley, what are we really seeing? Following the Bend takes readers on a majestic journey by water to find answers, along the way shedding light on the key concepts of modern river science, from hydrology and water chemistry to stream and wetland ecology. In this accessible and uniquely personal book, Ellen Wohl explains how to "read" a river, blending the latest science with her own personal experiences as a geologist and naturalist who has worked on rivers for more than three decades. She charts how water travels through the hydrologic cycle around the globe and downstream to distribute energy, move sediment, and shape river channels, and how living organisms adapt to life in flowing water to create vibrant river ecosystems. Wohl looks at the role of disturbances such as floods and droughts and discusses how geologists interpret the sedimentary records of past river processes. She illustrates how river networks interact with Earth's surface and considers issues for rivers in the future, such as progressive drying, river restoration, and the legal personhood of a river to maintain its distinctive spirit, identity, and integrity. Sharing a new understanding of how rivers function as both physical systems and ecosystems, Following the Bend enables us to observe rivers with fresh eyes and more fully appreciate the beauty, vibrancy, and complexity our planet's vital waterways.

In 2015, Industry 4.0 was announced with the rise of industrialization by the European Parliament, supporting policy, research, and infrastructure funding. In 2020, Industry 5.0 was launched as an evolution of Industry 4.0, towards societal and ecological values in a sustainable, human-centric, and resilient transition. In 2023, the IN4ACT research project team completed 4 years of research on the impact on these initiatives.Presentations reviewing the progress of management practices and economics led to conversations about what's next. The unanticipated rise in late 2022 of Generative AI technologies (e.g. ChatGPT, DALL-E) sparked dialogues with an extended circle of researchers on impacts not considered in 2015 or in 2020.

 
This collection of chapters reflects multiple perspectives on research findings to 2023, prospects for 2024, and considerations on ways the techno-economic industrial revolutions may be reshaped into desirable futures respecting social and ecological concerns.

De Gruyter Studies in Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

Rural Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
 explores how entrepreneurship unfolds beyond the urban centers that have dominated entrepreneurial ecosystem research. Bringing rural space to the forefront, this book examines how place, institutions, infrastructure, finance, digital connectivity, and social networks shape entrepreneurial opportunities – and how these conditions are experienced differently by women, minorities, migrants, older people, and other marginalized groups.
 Drawing on theoretical, empirical, and comparative perspectives from scholars and practitioners, this book challenges the assumption that rural entrepreneurs form a homogeneous group. It reveals how entrepreneurial ecosystems can reproduce exclusion, while also identifying pathways toward greater equity, participation, and resilience. By connecting scholarship with real-world challenges, this book offers a critical and timely roadmap for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to build more diverse, equitable, and inclusive rural entrepreneurial ecosystems.

How can design shine a light on humanity's relationship with the planet, its ecosystems and inhabitants, now and in the future? Global challenges like climate change and ecosystem degradation are proving that a singular disciplinary approach is inadequate to respond to issues where societal behaviours, individual choices, political decisions, economic, technological and scientific developments are so densely entangled - not least in design. But what happens when we turn things around and decentre "the human" to look at our relationship with the planet, its ecosystems and inhabitants beyond the capitalist human-nature binary worldview? Design Beyond the Human is a collection of essays by international scholars, designers and engaged citizens traversing activism, anthropology, conservation, creative writing, design practice, design theory, economics, education, environmental humanities, ethics, history, indigenous knowledge, law, philosophy, poetry, politics, regenerative agriculture, science, sociology and technology. Divided into three sections - We Are Not Alone, Design Beyond the Human, and Mediating Human-Non-Human Relations Through Design - the text generates conversations capable of thinking about life on planet Earth, challenging the Anglo-European anthropocentric conceptualisation of design that dominates practice, education, and academic discourse. Each section is unique: charting the transdisciplinary cultural perspective that is required to comprehend our predicament, the critique of human-centred design and its interdependence with capitalism, and the nascent practices and projects that are attempting to reconcile humanity's possible relationship with the planet, its ecosystems and inhabitants. The book offers the reader an opportunity to engage with expertise, knowledge, methodologies and lived experiences from across disciplines shaped by shared concerns and provides an opportunity to question if design in a more-than-human way might reimagine design's relationship to capitalism and contemporary lifestyles. Will our planetary future be merely an ecologically aware version of today, or, in going beyond the human, might we develop a transdisciplinary perspective capable of imagining an alternative vision of life on Earth?

Transdisciplinary Conversations about the Planet

Design Beyond the Human

Nature School: Planet Earth: The Workbook: Volume 4

Kaum eine andere Autorin vermag so eindringlich das Leben im Ozean zu schildern wie die Ökologie-Aktivistin Rachel L. Carson. Aus der Perspektive von Silverbar, dem Watvogel, der Makrele Scomber oder dem Aal Anguilla unternehmen wir mit der Autorin eine Reise entlang der Küsten und tauchen in eine zumeist verborgene Lebenswelt und ihre Gefährdungen durch den Menschen ein.

Erstmals 1941 veröffentlicht, blieb Unter dem Meerwind stets das Lieblingsbuch der Autorin - ein Werk von enormer Sachkenntnis und voller literarischer Kraft, das nun endlich wieder auf Deutsch erhältlich ist.

Unter dem Meerwind

From the author of New York Times bestseller The New New Deal, a groundbreaking piece of reportage from the trenches of the next climate war: the fight to fix our food system. Humanity has cleared a land mass the size of Asia plus Europe to grow food, and our food system generates a third of our carbon emissions. By 2050, we’re going to need a lot more calories to fill nearly 10 billion bellies, but we can’t feed the world without frying it if we keep tearing down an acre of rainforest every six seconds. We are eating the earth, and the greatest challenge facing our species will be to slow our relentless expansion of farmland into nature. Even if we quit fossil fuels, we’ll keep hurtling towards climate chaos if we don’t solve our food and land problems. In this rollicking, shocking narrative, Grunwald shows how the world, after decades of ignoring the climate problem at the center of our plates, has pivoted to making it worse, embracing solutions that sound sustainable but could make it even harder to grow more food with less land. But he also tells the stories of the dynamic scientists and entrepreneurs pursuing real solutions, from a jungle-tough miracle crop called pongamia to genetically-edited cattle embryos, from Impossible Whoppers to a non-polluting pesticide that uses the technology behind the COVID vaccines to constipate beetles to death. It’s an often infuriating saga of lobbyists, politicians, and even the scientific establishment making terrible choices for humanity, but it’s also a hopeful account of the people figuring out what needs to be done—and trying to do it. Michael Grunwald, bestselling author of The Swamp and The New New Deal, builds his narrative around a brilliant, relentless, unforgettable food and land expert named Tim Searchinger. He chronicles Searchinger’s uphill battles against bad science and bad politics, both driven by the overwhelming influence of agricultural interests. And he illuminates a path that could save our planetary home for ourselves and future generations—through better policy, technology, and behavior, as well as a new land ethic recognizing that every acre matters.
