Book Synopsis The Low-Carbon Good Life by : Jules Pretty
Download or read book The Low-Carbon Good Life written by Jules Pretty. This book was released on 2022-12-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low-Carbon Good Life is about how to reverse and repair four interlocking crises arising from modern material consumption: the climate crisis, growing inequality, biodiversity loss and food-related ill-health. Across the world today and throughout history, good lives are characterised by healthy food, connections to nature, being active, togetherness, personal growth, a spiritual framework and sustainable consumption. A low-carbon good life offers opportunities to live in ways that will bring greater happiness and contentment. Slower ways of living await. A global target of no more than one tonne of carbon per person would allow the poorest to consume more and everyone to find our models of low-carbon good lives. But dropping old habits is hard, and large-scale impacts will need fresh forms of public engagement and citizen action. Local to national governments need to act; equally, they need pushing by the power and collective action of citizens. Innovative and engaging and written in a style that combines storytelling with scientific evidence, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, sustainability, environmental economics and sustainable consumption, as well as non-specialist readers concerned about the climate crisis.

Book Synopsis Garden Haiku by : Lily Wang
Download or read book Garden Haiku written by Lily Wang. This book was released on 2011-01-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Garden Haiku: Raising Your Child with Ancient Wisdom, author Lily Wang gives parents spiritual guidelines for raising happy, respectful, and resourceful children. The simplicity and wisdom in these character-building principles have been extolled since ancient times but tend to get lost in today’s world. While Garden Haiku addresses parents and writes about young children, it is meant for everyone to enjoy. The themes and values are universal: we all grow from childhood to adulthood, and we are all our own best parents. We need to be nurturing and assuring people who believe in ourselves and support our dreams. Wang revives golden virtues with original poetic lucidity to bring Zen to parenting: Patience is to Have no expectations But greater acceptance Children can devil or angel be— Put your hands on their backs The touch of their wings Wang equates parents with gardeners whose sole purpose is to nurture tender buds into full bloom. While we have our children’s futures in our hands, they also have ours in theirs. A modern Zen classic, Garden Haiku is every caregiver’s poetic manual on the art of parenting. “Highly recommended!” —Midwest Book Review “Just right for parents.” —Kirkus Book Reviews “Distills magic into three-line poems celebrating life.” —ForeWord Magazine

Book Synopsis GoatMan by : Thomas Thwaites
Download or read book GoatMan written by Thomas Thwaites. This book was released on 2016-05-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dazzling success of The Toaster Project, including TV appearances and an international book tour, leaves Thomas Thwaites in a slump. His friends increasingly behave like adults, while Thwaites still lives at home, "stuck in a big, dark hole." Luckily, a research grant offers the perfect out: a chance to take a holiday from the complications of being human—by transforming himself into a goat. What ensues is a hilarious and surreal journey through engineering, design, and psychology, as Thwaites interviews neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, prosthetists, goat sanctuary workers, and goatherds. From this, he builds a goat exoskeleton—artificial legs, helmet, chest protector, raincoat from his mum, and a prosthetic goat stomach to digest grass (with help from a pressure cooker and campfire)—before setting off across the Alps on four legs with a herd of his fellow creatures. Will he make it? Do Thwaites and his readers discover what it truly means to be human? GoatMan tells all in Thwaites's inimitable style, which NPR extols as "a laugh-out- loud-funny but thoughtful guide through his own adventures."
