The seaweed revolution is a fresh hope for tomorrow.Seaweed develops in water everywhere, from the eternal glaciers to lagoons heated by the sun, from seas saturated with salt to the fresh water of our rivers. Yet we only know how to cultivate a few dozen varieties, at most. Incredibly diverse, seaweed could help to bring back balance in our ecosystems through a wide range of applications. It could allow us to better feed human beings and animals, replace plastic and fertilizers, boost medical innovations, mitigate global warming, repair biodiversity and support economies in coastal communities where fish stocks are declining.Although seaweed has supported our development for millions of years, we have lost our connection with it and focused our efforts purely on land cultivation. Today a fast-growing global population, combined with climate, social and environmental crises, gives us compelling reasons to reconsider this forgotten treasure.‘This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about our planet's future’ Mark Lynas, journalist and author of Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency‘An essential read for anyone who is curious about the extraordinary powers of seaweed to change the world, ’ Alexandra Cousteau, Head of Oceans 2050, and Jacques Cousteau’s granddaughter‘Seaweeds and algae have an essential role to play in the solutions available to us and Vincent Doumeizel’s The Seaweed Revolution shows us how’ Ambassador Peter Thomson, UNSG’s Special Envoy for the Ocean and former President of the UN General Assembly‘Seaweed holds the key to help solve many of the crises the world is facing’ Carlos M.

Yet we only know how to cultivate a few dozen varieties, at most. Incredibly diverse, seaweed could help to bring back balance in our ecosystems through a wide range of applications. It could allow us to better feed human beings and animals, replace plastic and fertilizers, boost medical innovations, mitigate global warming, repair biodiversity and support economies in coastal communities where fish stocks are declining.Although seaweed has supported our development for millions of years, we have lost our connection with it and focused our efforts purely on land cultivation. Today a fast-growing global population, combined with climate, social and environmental crises, gives us compelling reasons to reconsider this forgotten treasure.‘This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about our planet's future’ Mark Lynas, journalist and author of Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency‘An essential read for anyone who is curious about the extraordinary powers of seaweed to change the world, ’ Alexandra Cousteau, Head of Oceans 2050, and Jacques Cousteau’s granddaughter‘Seaweeds and algae have an essential role to play in the solutions available to us and Vincent Doumeizel’s The Seaweed Revolution shows us how’ Ambassador Peter Thomson, UNSG’s Special Envoy for the Ocean and former President of the UN General Assembly‘Seaweed holds the key to help solve many of the crises the world is facing’ Carlos M.

Historians have extensively studied the Old and New Testaments and used the scriptures to trace the rise of one of the world's earliest civilisations.Although it's difficult to confirm the stories in the Bible from a historical perspective, it's possible that myths originated from real events. This is why geologists are investigating the truth about the Flood and Noah's Ark, meteorologists and biologists are trying to understand the ten plagues that affected Egypt, and biblical scholars are searching for evidence of catastrophes that might have destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. A book discussing the mysteries of the Bible is speculative but thought-provoking. And it suggests that science and faith may be more closely related than one might think.World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history.

From small children's mummies to colossal pyramids, every archaeological find has been scrutinised to unravel the mysteries of one of the world's oldest civilisations. Initially, investigations were conducted with digging spoons, brushes, and meticulous archaeological methods. In recent years, advanced scanning and DNA analysis have been employed. Despite diligent research, definitive answers to the enigmas left behind by the empire along the Nile, which collapsed almost 2,000 years ago, still need to be discovered. Hence, scientists continue to search for answers to how the Egyptian empire came into existence, who built the pyramids, and whether Cleopatra was murdered.World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history.

As World War II raged across the Russian steppes, in Africa and especially in the skies over Europe, elite German and Soviet forces fought a bitter battle in an isolated northern corner of Europe. Here, the battle was for control of the ice-free port of Murmansk, where the Soviet Union received convoy after convoy loaded with British and American tanks, guns, fuel, small arms, food and aircraft. Supplies from the Allied convoys kept the Soviet Union alive at a critical time during the early stages of the war, and Hitler therefore tried every means to stop the convoys. At the beginning of the campaign against the Soviet Union, he hoped to capture Murmansk and thus weaken his archenemy. Later, when he realised that fighting in the barren, mountainous terrain of the north was unwinnable, he set his sights on destroying the convoys. The Luftwaffe and U-boats attacked the Allied sailors throughout the perpetual daylight of polar summer while crushing ice and raging storms threatened during the dark winter months. The men aboard the Arctic convoys dreaded the voyages, and it was with good reason that the crews dubbed them “suicide convoys”. If they fell overboard in a storm, a quick death awaited them in the icy sea, and if the ships’ holds, filled with fuel and ammunition, were hit by a torpedo or a bomb, everything exploded in a sea of flames.The Arctic convoy trips and the fighting on the Northern Front challenged some of the war’s toughest men.
