After intense legal wrangling, Rob ultimately gains access to hundreds of thousands of pages of DuPont documents, some of them fifty years old, that reveal the company has been holding onto decades of studies proving the harmful effects of a chemical called PFOA, used in making Teflon. PFOA is often called a \"forever chemical,\" because once in the environment, it does not break down or degrade for millions of years, contaminating the planet forever. The case of one farmer soon spawns a class action suit on behalf of seventy thousand residents--and the shocking realization that virtually every person on the planet has been exposed to PFOA and carries the chemical in his or her blood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat emerges is a riveting legal drama \"in the grand tradition of Jonathan Harr's \u003ci\u003eA Civil Action\u003c\/i\u003e\" (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review) about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation; and one lawyer's twenty-year struggle to expose the truth about this previously unknown--and still unregulated--chemical that we all have inside us.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.1 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119672975404,"sku":"9781501172823","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/ak9IcDgxbGVacEs0RUZzUS95UzZPQT09.webp?v=1765688114"},{"product_id":"the-water-remembers-my-indigenous-familys-fight-to-save-a-river-and-a-way-of-life-hardcover","title":"The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family's Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAmy Bowers Cordalis\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA moving multigenerational memoir of Indigenous resistance, environmental justice, and a Yurok family's fight to protect their legacy and the Klamath River.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For the members of a Northern California tribe, salmon are the lifeblood of the people--a vital source of food, income, and cultural identity.

We spend 90 percent of our time inside, shuttling between homes and offices, schools and stores, restaurants and gyms. And yet, in many ways, the indoor world remains unexplored territory. For all the time we spend inside buildings, we rarely stop to consider: How do these spaces affect our mental and physical well-being? Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Our productivity, performance, and relationships? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this wide-ranging, character-driven book, science journalist Emily Anthes takes us on an adventure into the buildings in which we spend our days, exploring the profound, and sometimes unexpected, ways that they shape our lives. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she probes the pain-killing power of a well-placed window and examines how the right office layout can expand our social networks. She investigates how room temperature regulates our cognitive performance, how the microbes hiding in our homes influence our immune systems, and how cafeteria design affects what--and how much--we eat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong the way, Anthes takes readers into an operating room designed to minimize medical errors, a school designed to boost students' physical fitness, and a prison designed to support inmates' psychological needs.

This book equips producers with knowledge, skills and insights to regenerate ecosystem health and grow farm\/ranch profits. Learn how to: - Triage soil health and act to fast-track soil and plant health-Build healthy resilient soil systems-Develop a deeper understanding of microbial and mineral synergies-Read what weeds and diseases are communicating about soil and plant health-Create healthy, productive and profitable landscapes.Globally recognised soil advocate and agroecologist Nicole Masters delivers the solution to rewind the clock on this increasingly critical soil crisis in her first book, For the Love of Soil. She argues we can no longer treat soil like dirt. Instead, we must take a soil-first approach to regenerate landscapes, restore natural cycles, and bring vitality back to ecosystems. This book translates the often complex and technical know-how of soil into more digestible terms through case studies from regenerative farmers, growers, and ranchers in Australasia and North America. Along with sharing key soil health principles and restoration tools, For the Love of Soil provides land managers with an action plan to kickstart their soil resource's well-being, no matter the scale.\"For years many of us involved in regenerative agriculture have been touting the soil health - plant health - animal health - human health connection but no one has tied them all together like Nicole does in \"For the love of Soil\"  \" Gabe Brown, Browns Ranch, Nourished by Nature. \"William Gibson once said that \"the future is here - it is just not evenly distributed.\" \"Nicole modestly claims that the information in the book is not new thinking, but her resynthesis of the lessons she has learned and refined in collaboration with regenerative land-managers is new, and it is powerful.\" Says Abe Collins, cofounder of LandStream and founder of Collins Grazing. \"She lucidly shares lessons learned from the deep-topsoil futures she and her farming and ranching partners manage for and achieve.\"The case studies, science and examples presented a compelling testament to the global, rapidly growing soil health movement. \"These food producers are taking actions to imitate natural systems more closely,\" says Masters. \"... they are rewarded with more efficient nutrient, carbon, and water cycles; improved plant and animal health, nutrient density, reduced stress, and ultimately, profitability.\"In spite of the challenges food producers face, Masters' book shows even incredibly degraded landscapes can be regenerated through mimicking natural systems and focusing on the soil first. \"Our global agricultural production systems are frequently at war with ecosystem health and Mother Nature,\" notes Terry McCosker of Resource Consulting Services in Australia. \"In this book, Nicole is declaring peace with nature and provides us with the science and guidelines to join the regenerative agriculture movement while increasing profits.\"Buy this book today to take your farm or ranch to the next level \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45194465640492,"sku":"9780578536729","price":25.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/TnNjd1o1Q0hxbExoTDVmcWMzVURtdz09.webp?v=1768225828"},{"product_id":"geoengineered-transhumanism-how-the-environment-has-been-weaponized-by-chemicals-electromagnetics-nanotechnology-for-synthetic-biology-paperback","title":"Geoengineered Transhumanism: How the Environment Has Been Weaponized by Chemicals, Electromagnetics, \u0026 Nanotechnology for Synthetic Biology - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eElana Freeland\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeoengineered Transhumanism \u003c\/em\u003eis the third book in Elana Freeland's trilogy on geoengineering.

In \u003ci\u003eUnmaking the Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e, Shannon Cram considers the complex social politics of this question and the regulatory infrastructures designed to answer it. Blending history, ethnography, and memoir, she investigates remediation efforts at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, a former weapons complex in Washington State. Home to the majority of the nation's high-level nuclear waste and its largest environmental cleanup, Hanford is tasked with managing toxic materials that will long outlast the United States and its institutional capacities. Cram examines the embodied uncertainties and structural impossibilities integral to that endeavor. In particular, this lyrical book engages in a kind of narrative contamination, toggling back and forth between cleanup's administrative frames and the stories that overspill them. It spends time with the statistical people that inhabit cleanup's metrics and models and the nonstatistical people that live with their effects. And, in the process, it explores the uneven social relations that make toxicity a normative condition.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this deeply unsettling book, Shannon Cram plumbs the mangled intimacies of the nuclear across scales (from cellular to regulatory, bodily to planetary) and, through a series of figures, renders the surreal world of nuclear cleanup, remediation, risk assessment, and its forms of impossible governance. \u003ci\u003eUnmaking the Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e is an incredible read.--Shiloh Krupar, Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor, Georgetown University \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eUnmaking the Bomb \u003c\/i\u003eis a multimodal text: part ethnography, part history of science, part memoir.

Menga focuses in particular on high priests of global developmentalism - celebrities, CEOs, and sustainability directors - who have emerged as some of the loudest voices about water issues while offering few tangible solutions.

Passionately opposed by naturalist John Muir and his ardent supporters, the massive undertaking succeeded largely through the efforts of John R.

Beyond crafting an extensively illustrated 421-page report detailing his design, he also worked--and succeeded--as a political advocate lobbying for congressional approval of the project. Jackson draws on a wealth of correspondence, reports, and other documents, including congressional records, to highlight Freeman's contention that the Hetch Hetchy project would not just provide copious quantities of water and power, but would also enhance the Sierra Nevada environment and increase tourist access to the northern reaches of the national park. His self-avowed goal was not to tear down or destroy Hetch Hetchy but to utilize the valley for the greater public good and to create a system that would serve the city for decades if not centuries to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Portraying Freeman for the first time in all his provocative complexity, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Dammed Hetch Hetchy\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a deeply researched, richly detailed biography and social history and a compelling reinterpretation of a pivotal moment in US environmental culture. \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 12, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45197354401836,"sku":"9780806195575","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/3OAdwkt5xM9780806195575.webp?v=1781845516"},{"product_id":"carbon-removal-paperback","title":"Carbon Removal - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eHoward J.

These regions, burdened with the task of fulfilling the nation's energy needs and boosting the country's economy, witness daily the harsh realities of dispossession that extend far beyond the mere loss of property. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDineo Skosana presents a compelling argument that dispossession remains a present-day reality and crisis, contradicting the notion that it is merely a relic of the past in the post-apartheid landscape. It challenges the narrow perspective that equates land loss in material and economic terms only. Skosana considers the impact of grave relocations--a common occurrence in these mining-dominated locales-- and the profound spiritual anguish and dehumanisation communities endure as their lands are excavated. In African societies, connections to the land extend beyond the material; land has a sacred and ancestral value. Grave relocations disrupt this connection families have with their ancestors. In dispossessing not only the living but also the dead from their lands, the author argues that the act wounds the collective soul of a people, eroding their cultural heritage, and collective identity and belonging. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers a rich ethnographic account of the experiences, struggles and resistance of the affected communities as well as a critical analysis of the legal and policy frameworks that enable their exploitation. In relation to the 'land question' in South Africa, No Last Place to Rest presents deep insights for communities, activists and government sectors acting in support of social justice and redress.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDineo Skosana is a researcher at Society, Work and Politics Institute (SWOP).
