The great scientific advances of the 20th and 21st centuries should have resulted in near-perfect health for all of humanity. We, the human race, should be healthy and thriving right now. With all our collective, accumulated knowledge, there is no reason that we all aren't healthy, prosperous and living in a clean environment. We could be boosting all manner of human performance and longevity. This clearly has not happened. Despite the elimination of most infectious disease through nutrition, sanitation and hygiene, formerly the greatest killers of humanity, we are sicker than ever before. We have replaced the old killers with a new set of disease epidemics that barely existed before the turn of the 20th century, a bit more than 100 years ago. Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are among the new big killers. Like the infectious diseases before them, however, these too are preventable and treatable using simple methods, and for most cases, fully reversible.
This book presents 4 Main Concepts that summarize what our true state of health should be, what has gone wrong, and more importantly, how to fix it.
Concept 1. What is health, and why don't we have it?
Concept 2. The Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts
Concept 3. Why should I bother to be Healthy?
Concept 4. Consciousness - It's How We Explore the Universe
This book is an instruction manual for how to restore and maintain your health. In the past, too much emphasis has been placed on disease: how to define it, how to fight it, how to be comfortable living with it. Not nearly enough emphasis has been placed on the concept that health is our birthright, that we are all supposed to be healthy, and that health is the means to a much more important goal, the larger spiritual goal that is the purpose of our life. Once we are under way with healing our own life, it is time to work collectively to advance the cause of humanity. It is time to get started. It is time to Heal Your Life, and Heal the World.

Описание:
Silent Spring is a watershed moment in the history of environmentalism, credited with launching the modern environmental movement. In synthesizing a jumble of scientific and medical information into a coherent argument, Carson successfully challenged major chemical industries and the idea that modern societies could and should exert mastery over nature at any cost. Her critique remains salient today.
This book provides the first in-depth analysis, contextualisation and overview of Silent Spring, a critical work in the history of environmentalism, surveying its lasting impact on the environmentalist movement in the last fifty years.

Описание:
Introduces key terms, quantitative and qualitative research, debates, and histories for Environmental and Nature Studies Understandings of “nature” have expanded and changed, but the word has not lost importance at any level of discourse: it continues to hold a key place in conversations surrounding thought, ethics, and aesthetics. Nowhere is this more evident than in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies. Keywords for Environmental Studies analyzes the central terms and debates currently structuring the most exciting research in and across environmental studies, including the environmental humanities, environmental social sciences, sustainability sciences, and the sciences of nature. Sixty essays from humanists, social scientists, and scientists, each written about a single term, reveal the broad range of quantitative and qualitative approaches critical to the state of the field today. From “ecotourism” to “ecoterrorism,” from “genome” to “species,” this accessible volume illustrates the ways in which scholars are collaborating across disciplinary boundaries to reach shared understandings of key issues—such as extreme weather events or increasing global environmental inequities—in order to facilitate the pursuit of broad collective goals and actions. This book underscores the crucial realization that every discipline has a stake in the central environmental questions of our time, and that interdisciplinary conversations not only enhance, but are requisite to environmental studies today.
