In this stunning book, intuition and instinct meet modern science as the therapeutic benefits of being in, on or by the sea are explained and explored, and how, if we look after the oceans they will, in turn, look after us. There is something about the vastness of the oceans, which are significantly larger than the continents combined, that has drawn humans in a significant way since the beginning of coastal communities. Throughout history, people have gravitated to live near the sea, it is part of the survival instinct. Water also has huge cultural and spiritual significance for people through the ages and for centuries we looked to the sand and surf as a fully-stocked medicine cabinet.
Despite the widespread intuitive feeling that being by the water makes us happier and healthier, there hasn't been much scientific evidence to quantify this connection. Environmental psychology is the study of how the natural environment makes us feel, think and behave, and scientists in this area are discovering the tangible benefits of breathing in the fresh sea air. Reasons to spend time by the sea: Just looking at the sea can promote reductions in heart rate and improvements in mood.
The negative ions in sea air accelerate your ability to absorb oxygen, and balance your seratonin levels. The bracing climate is especially beneficial to the respiratory organs and the skin, and also improves circulation and strengthens the body's defences. Spending time by the sea promotes better mental health.

We seek to oppose all forms of violence, and to create positive change based on cooperation and responsibility. Why do we need another book on climate change? He aims - by presenting only the bare scientific facts, and concentrating on the essential issue of how to come to terms with the problem we face and reduce our personal emissions - to give us a book which will motivate us not only to act, but to persuade others to act too.
Those wishing for more facts can follow up some of the excellent appendices. I found the jokey style a little hard-going at times, but the strength of this book lies firstly in the detailed carbon calculator which counts not just carbon but also methane and nitrous oxide emissions , and secondly in the many chapters full of concrete suggestions as to how we can each cut down. Each step is quantified so we can see, for instance, that whilst not using plastic bags barely impacts on our emissions at all, not flying makes a vast difference. Overall, this is an accessible and important book, especially for those wishing to reduce their emissions but are not sure where to start.
It would make a great workbook for a fledgling climate change group - start your own now! Copyright Peace News - See our reprint policy. The History of a Dangerous Idea'. Matthew Collin, 'The Time of the Rebels'. David Cortright , Gandhi and Beyond:
