  Danino Tal

  • Rizzoli
  • 26 Mars 2024
  • 9780847899869

  A leading bacteria scientist combines unique scientific and artistic techniques, along with accessible text to reveal the microbial world within and around us.
  
  Beautiful Bacteria merges stunning imagery with a new way of looking at something we interact with every day. Each chapter introduces the different types of bacteria, illustrated with singularly beautiful images of these minute life forms and an approachable text that explains where bacteria is located and what it does. Much as New York Times bestseller I Contain Multitudes did, Beautiful Bacteria brings the invisible world that has shaped our species to life.
  
  While we know microbes in our world are relevant, the focus of this book is what the invisible, microbial world looks like, where it comes from, and where new discoveries and biotechnology are taking us. Looking at the microbial world reveals countless questions about life and connects with the personal realm of bacteria in our daily lives. From the dazzling patterns of Proteus mirabilis to the shimmering fractals of E. coli and more, each chapter touches upon the little-seen microscopic universe and the impact it has on our macroscopic society, and sheds light on how we coexist in an increasingly biotechnological world.

  The self-fed farm and garden : A return to the roots of the organic method

  Eliot Coleman, Dan Barber

  • Rizzoli
  • Chelsea Green
  • 11 Novembre 2025
  • 9781645023067

  In his first all-new book in fifteen years, renowned organic grower and bestselling author Eliot Coleman presents his "self-fed" growing method that continuously sustains soil fertility and produces delicious, exceptionally nutritious vegetables with no need for purchased fertilizer or compost.
  
  Once you implement a self-fed system, Coleman explains, then you alone--and not the farm and garden products industry--are master of your destiny. A self-fed system is safe from contamination by pollutants, which is a key point in this era of widespread contamination of soil and water by PFAS and other forever chemicals. The self-fed system also has the benefit of far lower expenses than those that rely on purchased fertilizers from off the farm. The book also delves into the underlying causes in the shifts in the organic movement, calling out the erosion of standards in the National Organic Program and the greenwashing of the new trend of regenerative agriculture. Eliot includes specific examples, such as how;large corporate interests acted to lobby against those who sought to protect the need for pure ingredients in composts for organic farms. In the book's conclusion, Eliot describes the next chapter in the life of Four Season Farm as he and his wife, awarding-winning garden book author Barbara Damrosch, step away from the farm-scale production, making space for a new farming couple to steward the land.

  Sam Watts has a PhD in cancer survivorship from the University of Southampton. He is also a trained clinical practitioner of Ayurveda. Sam has led large-scale, NHS-funded clinical investigations of people living with incurable cancers who defy the statistical odds.
  
  Sam's research has been focused on finding consistencies in the practices that the majority of these cancer patients adopt because he believes that it is very likely that these practices will help us understand what allowed them to become exceptional. His research has indeed found such consistencies and, as an Ayurvedic practitioner, he has also realised that the majority of them fall under the framework of Ayurveda. Over the last decade, Ayurveda has become one of the most-utilised forms of complementary medicine adopted by those living with cancer.
