A Celebration of Plants Around the World

I Ate Sunshine for Breakfast

Phillip Giordano

Enter the incredible world of plants to learn about the green machines of the natural world.Using just the rays of the sun, trees and flowers help create everything from rubber to honey. Find out the powerful science going on in every leaf, petal and stem with vibrant illustrations that will make you look at plants in a whole new way.From expert ecologist and educator Michael Holland, this illustrated compendium celebrates the plants in your life, from minty toothpaste to the floral names in your classroom. This comprehensive guide covers everything from the parts of a plant through to conservation, and also features DIY projects for young gardeners.

Set against the backdrop of a startling discovery by a group of German soldiers in the wastes of the Siberian Steppes during the second world war, the story twists and turns its way back into the mists of time before pre-recorded history only to fast forward into our time with cataclysmic consequenses. Wade McAlister, an Oxford professor finds his safe life as an academic thrust into a helter-skelter sequence of events culminating into the most shocking of conclusions.

Maurice Blanchot remains a writer whose work, though often cited, is little-known to the English-speaking reader. In The Blanchot Reader Michael Holland answers that urgent need and does so in a way that provides a coherent perspective on what by any standard is an extraordinary personal and intellectual career.

PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkylsubstances) are known to be extremely difficult to degrade in the environment and to be bioaccumulative and toxic. Exposure to PFAS is suspected to increase the risk of adverse health effects, such as impacts on the thyroid gland, the liver, fat metabolism and the immune system. This study estimates the socioeconomic costs that may result from impacts on human health and the environment from the use of PFAS. Better awareness of the costs and problems associated with PFAS exposure will assist decision-makers and the general public to make more efficient and timely risk management decisions. Findings indicate that the costs are substantial, with annual health-related costs estimated to 2.8 – 4.6 billion EUR for the Nordic countries and 52 – 84 billion EUR for all EEA countries. Overall non-health costs are estimated at 46 million – 11 billion EUR for the Nordic countries.Upon request the excel spreadsheets used for the monetarisation and valuation in this report can also be provided along with a guidance on how to use the estimation of costs for value transfer. Please contact any of the consultants or members of the steering group from the Swedish Chemicals Agency or the Danish Environmental Protection Agency if you are interested in receiving these excel spreadsheets.

Les Cahiers Maurice Blanchot entendent encourager et enrichir la lecture d'un grand écrivain du XXe siècle qui demeure souvent mésestimé et d'un accès réputé difficile, dont l'écriture dérange et interpelle notre époque dans chacun des domaines qui la définissent, politique, philosophie, éthique, culture.
