Have you ever wondered how we can feed 80 billion farmed animals per year while nearly one billion people are food insecure?<br/><br/><I><B>Food for Thought</B></I> is a comprehensive, science-based analysis of the social and environmental costs of eating animals. Noted Food Engineer Camila Perussello, PhD explains how animal-based food production is directly linked to some of the most pressing issues of our time: violence, discrimination, the climate emergency, and the global burden of disease.<br/><br/> The book uncovers the deliberately hidden and brutal reality of animal-sourced food production &ndash; from animal suffering to human rights violations, environmental degradation, diet-related illnesses, pandemics, food insecurity, and consumer manipulation.<br/><br/><I><B>Food for Thought </B></I>also debunks myths on &ldquo;humane" and &ldquo;sustainable" animal foods, such as organic milk, grass-fed meat, and cage-free eggs, detailing the differences between production systems, geographical regions, and animal welfare labels.<br/><br/> The book ends with a practical guide on how to live vegan, the challenges you might encounter, and the personal benefits you should expect.<br/><br/> Most importantly, <I><B>Food for Thought </B></I>will make you aware of your power to reshape industry and society, despite the misleading narratives made to sow confusion about the vital role of consumer choices in social change.<br/><br/> Written with impeccable detail and academic rigour, <I><B>Food for Thought</B></I> is a valuable reference guide to food technologists, veterinarians, biologists, environmentalists, animal rights activists, and all professionals and individuals working towards justice and sustainability.

Moving heat and cold efficiently in urban areas is the main goal of district heating and cooling systems. By connecting suitable customer heat and cold demands with available heat and cold sources, the demands can be met by lower resource use in comparison to conventional heat and cold supply, such as boilers and air conditioners.<br/>The textbook contains chapters about the fundamental idea, energy markets, customer demands, load variations, supply, environmental impact, distribution, substations, system functioning, economics, planning, historical development, current and future use, organisation, and information sources concerning the flows of heat and cold in district heating and cooling systems.<br/>District heating and cooling is an interdisciplinary technology containing elements from many general technologies and methodologies such as combustion, heat transfer, piping, marketing, billing etc. Our mission has been to provide basic introductory knowledge about aspects typical of district heating and cooling, which is very vital for a basic understanding of, or very unique for, this niche technology.<br/>We have a rather broad range of readers in mind: District heating engineers, university students of engineering, and employees at district heating companies in general. We will be happy if urban planners, economists, policymakers and others interested in the topic will find that this book provides tangible and useful information about district heating and cooling.
