The vertical farm represents a transformative innovation for securing the global food supply while addressing critical environmental issues. Imagine a world where every community has a local food source, grown efficiently, with minimal waste of water and light, accessible via a simple elevator ride. Columbia professor Dickson Despommier envisioned this solution to America's food, water, and energy crises, leading to the concept of the vertical farm, which has garnered attention from scientists, architects, and policymakers worldwide. In this pioneering work, Despommier illustrates how vertical farms can revolutionize food production for future generations. These structures, filled with fruits and vegetables, can supply entire cities with fresh produce. Vertical farms offer numerous benefits: year-round food production, protection from adverse weather, recycling of water, job creation, elimination of harmful chemicals, reduced fossil fuel reliance, prevention of crop loss during transport, and mitigation of agricultural runoff. They can be established in abandoned buildings or vacant lots, transforming urban areas into lush landscapes that provide locally grown food. Notably, vertical farms can empower nations with limited arable land to become significant food producers. This groundbreaking concept is poised to change the agricultural landscape and is destined to become a classic in sustainable development literature. …

Paperback. Condición: New. Dickson D. Despommier's vivid, visceral account of the biology, behavior, and history of parasites follows the interplay between these fascinating life forms and human society over thousands of years. Despommier focuses on long-term host-parasite associations, which have evolved to avoid or even subvert the human immune system. Some parasites do great damage to their hosts, while others have signed a kind of "peace treaty" in exchange for their long lives within them. Many parasites also practice clever survival strategies that medical scientists hope to mimic as they search for treatments for Crohn's disease, food allergies, type 1 diabetes, organ transplantation, and other medical challenges. Despommier concentrates on particularly remarkable and often highly pathogenic organisms, describing their lifecycles and the mechanisms they use to avoid elimination. He details their attack and survival plans and the nature of the illnesses they cause in general terms, enabling readers of all backgrounds to steal a glimpse into the secret work of such effective invaders.He also points to the cultural contexts in which these parasites thrive and reviews the current treatments available to defeat them. Encouraging scientists to continue to study these organisms even if their threat is largely contained, Despommier shows how closer dissection of the substances parasites produce to alter our response to them could help unravel some of our most complex medical conundrums.…
