It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible. In California, wildfires now rage year-round, destroying thousands of homes. Across the US, 500-year storms pummel communities month after month, and floods displace tens of millions annually.This is only a preview of the changes to come. And they are coming fast. Without a revolution in how billions of humans conduct their lives, parts of the Earth could become close to uninhabitable, and other parts horrifically inhospitable, as soon as the end of this century.In his travelogue of our near future, David Wallace-Wells brings into stark relief the climate troubles that await--food shortages, refugee emergencies, and other crises that will reshape the globe. But the world will be remade by warming in more profound ways as well, transforming our politics, our culture, our relationship to technology, and our sense of history. It will be all-encompassing, shaping and distorting nearly every aspect of human life as it is lived today.Like An Inconvenient Truth and Silent Spring before it, The Uninhabitable Earth is both a meditation on the devastation we have brought upon ourselves and an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation. .
HOW TO SAVE THE HUMANITY OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND WARS DEVASTAT...Fernando Alcoforado
This article whose theme is “How to save humanity of social, economic, environmental and wars devastation in the 21st century” aims to propose the adoption of strategies capable of facing three devastating crises that threaten the future of humanity in the middle of the XXI century. The first crisis is related to the economic and social damage produced by capitalism that will culminate in its predictable end in the middle of the 21st century, the second crisis concerns the worsening of the environmental damage produced by capitalism in the 21st century with the depletion of natural resources, the emergence of new pandemics and catastrophic global climate change, and the third crisis may result from the worsening of conflicts in international relations produced by capitalism that may lead the world to face the multiplicity of localized wars and even a new world war in the 21st century. This article presents the necessary strategies to save humanity from social, economic, environmental devastation and wars in the 21st century, supported by in-depth research on the development of capitalism and its future, on the degradation of the environment and its harmful consequences, as well as about the wars that broke out in the history of mankind and may break out in the future.
For the majority of the world’s population and most developing countries, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the eradication of poverty remain their highest priority.
The impacts of climate change threaten the achievement of the MDGs, but also create opportunities for further efforts to achieve these development imperatives.

Evolutionary patterns in the future - A comparison between action of nature a...Roberto Sáez
More info at
http://nutcrackerman.com/2014/07/21/evolutionary-patterns-in-the-future-a-comparison-between-action-of-nature-and-action-of-man/
The speed of evolutionary changes has greatly increased in the last 10,000 years. The huge increase in population plus the adaptation to new ecology conditions have resulted in strong pressure to produce genetic mutations: for example, to allow digestion of different food sources, to create resistance to unknown pathogens or to adapt skin to new environments. With this recent background, what type of variations can we expect that evolution will bring to humankind in the next 200,000 years? We can find different answers in the action of nature and the action of humans.

Hamta Epub Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender ...CakraNovitasari
The powerful coming-of-age story of an ultra-Orthodox child who was born to become a rabbinic leader and instead became a woman
Abby Stein was raised in a Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn, isolated in a culture that lives according to the laws and practices of eighteenth-century Eastern Europe, speaking only Yiddish and Hebrew and shunning modern life. Stein was born as the first son in a dynastic rabbinical family, poised to become a leader of the next generation of Hasidic Jews. But Abby felt certain at a young age that she was a girl. She suppressed her desire for a new body while looking for answers wherever she could find them, from forbidden religious texts to smuggled secular examinations of faith. Finally, she orchestrated a personal exodus from ultra-Orthodox manhood to mainstream femininity-a radical choice that forced her to leave her home, her family, her way of life. Powerful in the truths it reveals about biology, culture, faith, and identity, Becoming Eve poses the enduring question: How far will you go to become the person you were meant to be? .
An alternate cover edition can be found here.The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature. .
