'Fascinating' Observer'Engrossing' i News'Elegant' Sunday Telegraph'Profound and poignant' Sunday Post'Remarkable and complex' George McGavinA memoir and investigation exploring loss, community and the climate crisis in the Shetland Islands by environmental journalist Marianne Brown.How do we balance our needs with the needs of the natural world around us?How can we have nuanced conversations and debate in a time of extreme activism or extreme denial?How can we begin to understand the complexities of a subject as enormous as climate change?And how can we change the way we live to save our lives?This is one woman's story of how her quest to make peace with her father's death brought her straight to the heart of a challenging debate about how we save the planet.When Marianne Brown arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend the funeral of her father, she had packed enough clothes to last a short trip. But this was February 2020, just weeks before the UK's first lockdown, and she would be unable to leave for another six months.Shetland is a place bound together by community, history and culture. But when a huge windfarm is greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, it creates rifts between neighbours, friends and even families. One side supports the benefit to a planet spiralling into climate disaster; the other challenges the impact on an environment with an already struggling wildlife population.As an environmental journalist, Marianne is drawn to investigate this story of sustainable energy that is irrevocably tied to her grief. But nothing is ever straightforward, and she soon finds herself on a transformative journey into the heart of a debate that mirrors global concerns about how we save the planet.

The Shetland Way

Prepare to be dazzled by the incredibly biodiverse life thriving and surviving in this immense desert. Say "desert" and many folks will picture sand, clouds of dust, a smattering of cactuses, and perhaps a tenacious reptile or scorpion fighting for their thirsty lives. But Arizona's Sonoran Desert breaks those barren stereotypes. Sonoran Desert Explorer, penned by expert staff at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, introduces curious readers and intrepid explorers to the myriad "biomes, animals, plants, geology, and cultures they may come across" when exploring this 120,000-square-mile expanse.

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.

Landscape architect Daniel Winterbottom and occupational therapist Amy Wagenfeld present a collaborative approach that successfully translates the evidence-based principles of therapeutic design into practice using case studies from around the world. This practical guide demonstrates how gardens support learning, movement, well-being, and mental and psychological health. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout to include pandemic and mental health design, trauma responsive design, designing for neurodivergence, and more. Beautifully designed with over 250 color images throughout, it also includes chapter introductions, summaries, case studies, and personal vignettes. This book is essential for professionals and students in landscape architecture, planning, design, healthcare, and mental health fields.

Contamination of Marine Ecosystems in Polar Regions: Basics and Applications discusses the pressing environmental issues facing the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The book is based on the author's lectures and research over the past decade, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of marine contamination from an ecological standpoint. Key topics include the distribution of persistent organic pollutants, their transfer from non-living compartments to organisms, human chemical impacts, global change effects on pollutant distribution, and how tourism affects warming polar oceans. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basics of geography, polar climate, ecosystem structure, contaminant properties, and marine biology and ecology. The second part presents case studies that illustrate the ecological impacts of the topics discussed in Part One. This structure helps readers gain a holistic view of contamination issues in marine ecosystems of polar regions.
