Planetary Health : Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves
Human health depends on the health of the planet. Earth’s natural systems, the air, the water, the biodiversity, the climate, are our life support systems.Yet climate change, biodiversity loss, scarcity of land and freshwater, pollution and other threats are degrading these systems.The emerging field of planetary health aims to understand how these changes threaten our health and how to protect ourselves and the rest of the biosphere. Planetary Health: Protecting Nature to Protect Ourselves provides a readable introduction to this new paradigm.With an interdisciplinary approach, the book addresses a wide range of health impacts felt in the Anthropocene, including food and nutrition, infectious disease, non-communicable disease, dislocation and conflict, and mental health.It also presents strategies to combat environmental changes and its ill-effects, such as controlling toxic exposures, investing in clean energy, improving urban design, and more.Chapters are authored by widely recognised experts. The result is a comprehensive and optimistic overview of a growing field that is being adopted by researchers and universities around the world.Students of public health will gain a solid grounding in the new challenges their profession must confront, while those in the environmental sciences, agriculture, the design professions, and other fields will become familiar with the human consequences of planetary changes.Understanding how our changing environment affects our health is increasingly critical to a variety of disciplines and professions.Planetary Health is the definitive guide to this vital field.

Dark Green Religion : Nature Spirituality and the Planetary Future
In this innovative and deeply felt work, Bron Taylor examines the evolution of 'green religions' in North America and beyond: spiritual practices that hold nature as sacred and have in many cases replaced traditional religions.Tracing a wide range of groups-radical environmental activists, lifestyle-focused bioregionalists, surfers, new-agers involved in 'ecopsychology', and groups that hold scientific narratives as sacred - Taylor addresses a central theoretical question: How can environmentally oriented, spiritually motivated individuals and movements be understood as religious when many of them reject religious and supernatural worldviews?The 'dark' of the title further expands this idea by emphasizing the depth of believers' passion and also suggesting a potential shadow side: besides uplifting and inspiring, such religion might mislead, deceive, or in some cases precipitate violence.This book provides a fascinating global tour of the green religious phenomenon, enabling readers to evaluate its worldwide emergence and to assess its role in a critically important religious revolution.

Planetary Hours
The Planetary Hours are an ancient astrological system for selecting favorable times to act (and avoiding unfavorable times), by assigning planetary rulers to the twenty-four hours of the day.This book has easy-to-follow instructions for finding your birthday and birth hour rulers, and clearly explains how these determine your personality and your luck.A chapter on electional astrology explains how to use the Planetary Hours to find lucky times to act (to ask for money; to ask someone on a date or to marry; to go on a journey; to begin a new business).The chapter on How to Cast Spells gives the low-down on how to make magical spells (and prayers) really work, using simple astrological techniques.The use of the Firdaria, an ancient astrological prediction system which indicates positive and negative periods during a lifetime, is illustrated with a detailed analysis of events in the life of Theodore Roosevelt.Complete Tables of Planetary Hours at the end of the book allow you to find favorable times to initiate activities for any day of the year, and for anywhere on earth from the Equator to 58 North and South latitudes.Ideal for any level of astrologer.

Planetary Combination
Planetary Combination picks up where Planetary Strength left off, explaining how the planetary influences combine in aspects and configurations to paint a picture of a person and his or her life.Descriptions of planetary configurations such as grand trines, grand squares, T-squares, wedges, fans, rectangles, kites, and trapezoids provide overall schematics of people's psychological dynamics.Then, detailed interpretations for the conjunctions, sextiles/trines, squares, oppositions, parallels/contraparallels, and mutual receptions between the individual planets enable the practitioner to see clearly how these dynamics work out in a particular horoscope.An illuminating chapter on planetary conjunctions with the Moon's nodes reveals the underlying karmic influences at work.An indispensable reference you'll consult every time you read a chart. "Planetary Combination is an excellent and comprehensive summary of all the relevant chart factors...One has to search hard to find such material!But this is all presented, as is all of Makransky's work, with vigour, wisdom and accessibility...Much of the book is taken up - as we might expect - with a very generous coverage of the astrological aspects. I looked up a few of my own and they were spot on...Planetary Combination fills a gap in the current state of astrological literature.It manages to retain both a sense of firm tradition whilst feeling utterly new and fresh." James Lynn Page, author of Everyday Tarot, Celtic Magic, The Christ Enigma and The New Positive Thinking.

Can planetary orbits intersect?
No, planetary orbits cannot intersect. In our solar system, each planet orbits the sun in its own distinct path, and these paths do not cross or intersect. This is due to the gravitational forces between the planets and the sun, which keep their orbits separate and stable. If planetary orbits were to intersect, it would lead to chaotic and unstable interactions between the planets, which is not observed in our solar system.

What are planetary phases?
Planetary phases refer to the different appearances of a planet as seen from Earth as it orbits the Sun. These phases are caused by the changing relative positions of the Sun, the planet, and the Earth. For example, Venus and Mercury exhibit phases similar to the Moon, with crescent, gibbous, and full phases. The inner planets, Mercury and Venus, can exhibit all phases, while the outer planets, such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, exhibit only crescent and gibbous phases.

Is Naruto on a planetary level?
Naruto is not considered to be on a planetary level in terms of power. While he possesses immense strength, speed, and abilities, his powers are typically portrayed as being more focused on a smaller scale, such as battles between individuals or smaller groups. Characters who are considered to be on a planetary level are usually capable of destroying or affecting entire planets with their powers, which is not a feat commonly associated with Naruto.

What is a tractor planetary gearbox?
A tractor planetary gearbox is a type of transmission system used in tractors and other heavy machinery. It consists of a set of gears arranged in a planetary gear system, which allows for different gear ratios and torque multiplication. This type of gearbox is commonly used in tractors to provide the necessary power and speed for various agricultural tasks such as plowing, tilling, and hauling. The planetary gearbox is designed to handle the high torque and heavy loads typically encountered in agricultural applications.

Planetary Gentrification
This is the first book in Polity's new 'Urban Futures' series. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, proclamations rang out that gentrification had gone global.But what do we mean by 'gentrification' today? How can we compare 'gentrification' in New York and London with that in Shanghai, Johannesburg, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro?This book argues that gentrification is one of the most significant and socially unjust processes affecting cities worldwide today, and one that demands renewed critical assessment. Drawing on the 'new' comparative urbanism and writings on planetary urbanization, the authors undertake a much-needed transurban analysis underpinned by a critical political economy approach.Looking beyond the usual gentrification suspects in Europe and North America to non-Western cases, from slum gentrification to mega-displacement, they show that gentrification has unfolded at a planetary scale, but it has not assumed a North to South or West to East trajectory ? the story is much more complex than that. Rich with empirical detail, yet wide-ranging, Planetary Gentrification unhinges, unsettles and provincializes Western notions of urban development.It will be invaluable to students and scholars interested in the future of cities and the production of a truly global urban studies, and equally importantly to all those committed to social justice in cities.

Planetary Geoscience
For many years, planetary science has been taught as part of the astronomy curriculum, from a very physics-based perspective, and from the framework of a tour of the Solar System - body by body.Over the past decades, however, spacecraft exploration and related laboratory research on extraterrestrial materials have given us a new understanding of planets and how they are shaped by geological processes.Based on a course taught at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, this is the first textbook to focus on geologic processes, adopting a comparative approach that demonstrates the similarities and differences between planets, and the reasons for these.Profusely illustrated, and with a wealth of pedagogical features, this book provides an ideal capstone course for geoscience majors - bringing together aspects of mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, volcanology, sedimentology, geomorphology, tectonics, geophysics and remote sensing.

How quickly do planetary stars explode?
Planetary stars, also known as brown dwarfs, do not actually explode. They are failed stars that do not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores. Instead, they slowly cool and fade over billions of years. As they cool, they may eventually become "black dwarfs," which are essentially cold, dead remnants of once-energetic stars. So, rather than exploding, planetary stars have a much slower and more gradual end to their existence.

Why is our planetary system disk-shaped?
Our planetary system is disk-shaped because it formed from a spinning, flattened cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. As the cloud collapsed under its own gravity, it began to spin faster, causing it to flatten into a disk shape due to conservation of angular momentum. Within this disk, particles collided and stuck together, eventually forming the planets, moons, and other objects in our solar system. This disk shape is a common feature of planetary systems, as seen in other star systems as well.

What kind of planetary year is 2020?
2020 is a leap year, which means it has 366 days instead of the usual 365 days. Leap years occur every four years to account for the extra time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun. This extra day is added in February as February 29th.

What is a clear definition of planetary retrograde?
Planetary retrograde is the apparent backward motion of a planet as seen from Earth. This phenomenon occurs when Earth, in its faster orbit around the Sun, overtakes and passes a slower-moving outer planet. As a result, the outer planet appears to move backward in the sky for a period of time before resuming its normal forward motion. Retrograde motion is an optical illusion caused by the relative positions and speeds of the Earth and the outer planet.
