Daniel Chiu Suarez: Biologists Unite

The Rise and Fall of Ecosystem Services

Yale Agrarian Studies Series

An imaginative history of the Kankakee River, told in reverse chronological order, that examines the ecological losses caused as people transformed the river and its wetlands &nbsp; The Kankakee River, whose waters gathered west of present-day South Bend, Indiana, and meandered through the loose sediment left by Pleistocene glaciers, used to drain one of the largest wetlands in North America. In its prime, it had hundreds of bends and spilled everywhere, generating hundreds of thousands of acres of permanent and semipermanent marshes brimming with life. This landscape amazed, entertained, and fed human beings for centuries until a small group of reformers usurped the waters and drained them in a matter of decades. By 1917, steam dredges had cut through the bends of the river; ditches and underground drain tiles emptied the marshes. A fascinating and vibrant place was thus transformed into a monotonous and forgettable one. &nbsp; Jon T. Coleman travels backward through time to recover the grandeur of the Kankakee River and its wetlands, asking why American settlers would dismantle an environment in which they delighted. Starting in the present, Coleman unwinds the history of the Kankakee, offering a wide-ranging and imaginative look at what was lost when the Kankakee was transformed, in a narrative that challenges our ideas about time and inevitability.

The Waters of the Kankakee and the Nature of Time

The Most Crooked River in the World

A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope &nbsp; Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. &nbsp; This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with the earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.

How Fertility and Innovation Have Changed Humankind and the Earth

Be Fruitful and Multiply

Plastic is omnipresent in our daily lives. But despite our distress at using it everyday, we often feel powerless to escape it. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Through a shocking investigative deep dive and vivid character-driven storytelling, in Plastic Inc, Beth Gardner tells the story of a vast, rapacious industry hiding in plain sight. From the Gulf Coast of Texas to the rural towns of Indonesia, from the boardrooms to the rubbish dumps, Gardner lifts the rug on the petrochemical companies that make plastics, and reveals the disturbing truth of their origins. For decades Big Oil's masterplan has been to grow plastics in the face of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, and - despite public opinion's call to reduce waste - is preparing to double and eventually triple plastic production by 2050. Gardiner's expose gives readers an up-close look at how the plastics industry has bullied its way into our lives and the global economy. We learn that Big Oil invented the idea of recycling in order to produce more plastic. It funded litter campaigns in order to push responsibility for waste onto the consumer, and put huge resources into fighting plastic bag bans across the US. And with microplastics becoming a huge public health crisis, Big Oil has finally not only forced plastic into our lives but into our bodies too. Plastic Inc is an extraordinary exposé of an industry that will stop at nothing to propel its own greed.

The fourth edition of this core textbook in advanced remote sensing continues to be the best guide on satellite-based remote sensing tools and methods for space-based Earth observation, and the use of remote sensing satellite data for studying and monitoring the planet. It is thoroughly updated with information related to new satellite missions from different agencies with particular attention to the new constellations of high-resolution sensors and new field observations for model calibration and validation, including field sensors and drones. The commercialization of remote sensing data with open cloud services and new classifications by AI algorithms and cloud computing services are also discussed. New in the Fourth Edition:<ul> <li>Thoroughly revised to include updates in all chapters due to the technological advances in space exploration.</li> <li>Covers new constellations of high-resolution sensors such as Planet, Maxar, Geo-Airbus, etc.</li> <li>Explains field sensors such as spectro-radiometers, ground lidars, and drones.</li> <li>Discusses image services including Earthengine, CreoDIAS, as well as public repositories: Copernicus, Earthexplorer, Glovis.</li> <li>Provides an introduction to AI algorithms.</li> <li>Discusses cloud computing approaches.</li> </ul>This textbook is for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking advanced courses in Remote Sensing and GIS in physical geography, geophysics, engineering, soil and plant sciences, urban planning, etc. It is also an excellent text for researchers and scientists interested in learning techniques and technologies for collecting, analyzing, managing, processing, and visualizing geospatial datasets.

Plastic is omnipresent in our daily lives. But the companies that make it-petrochemical companies which are often subsidiaries of Big Oil like ExxonMobil and Dow Chemical-seem to be hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Through a mix of investigative deep dive and vivid character-driven storytelling, Plastic Inc for the first time tells the story of a vast, rapacious industry that, despite public opinion universally calling for less waste and fossil fuel emissions, is preparing to double and eventually triple plastic production by 2050. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its manipulation of culture and governments, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its pivotal role in exacerbating climate change. That for decades Big Oil's masterplan has been to grow plastics in the face of diminishing demand for fossil fuels in a post oil and gas world. Every chapter in Plastic Inc brings new revelations, including: How Big Oil invented the idea of recycling in order to produce more plastic, aware that recycling at scale would never work.How Big Oil created and funded litter campaigns in the 1970s to push responsibility onto the consumer, and away from the producersHow microplastics are becoming a huge public health crisisHow Big oil colludes with US lobby groups and ploughs huge resource into preventing even the smallest town-wide ban on plastic bags or take away containers. The stories in Plastic Inc will reframe for readers a problem many of us think we understand, but which has deeper roots and a more complex future than we can have possibly imagined.
