It’s in our instant noodles and chocolate bars, our lipsticks and fuel tanks. But what even is palm oil, and how has it come to dominate our lives so completely? Jocelyn C. Zuckerman travels across four continents and back two centuries to find answers about the most widely used vegetable oil on Earth. The little oil palm fruit has played an outsized role in world history and economic development. But the multi-billion-dollar palm oil business has been built on stolen land and slave labour; it spurred colonisation and swept away lives and cultures. Today, its fires and mass deforestation generate carbon emissions to rival those of entire industrialized nations, and they’ve pushed animals like the orangutan to the brink of extinction. Combining history, travelogue and investigative reporting, Planet Palm offers an unsettling, urgent look at a global industry that has become an environmental, public health, and human rights disaster.

It's in our instant noodles and chocolate bars, our lipsticks and fuel tanks. But what is palm oil, and how has it come to dominate our lives so completely?Jocelyn C. Zuckerman travels across four continents and back in time two centuries to find answers about the most widely used vegetable oil on Earth. The obscure oil palm fruit, she discovers, has played an outsized role in history, from greasing the gears of the Second Industrial Revolution to transforming the economies of Malaysia and Indonesia. But this little fruit also belies an industry of vicious exploitation and ruinous damage to our planet. The multi-billion-dollar palm oil business has been built on stolen land and slave labour, once spurred the colonisation of Nigeria, and has swept away lives and cultures. Fires lit to clear the way for plantations spew carbon emissions to rival those of entire industrialised nations. Mass deforestation so ravaged the landscapes of Southeast Asia that animals like the orangutan now teeter on the brink of extinction. Combining history, travelogue and investigative reporting, 'Planet Palm' offers an unsettling, urgent look at the global palm oil industry, illuminating what has today become an environmental, public health and human rights disaster.

According to palmist Shastra, human hand is a horoscope which never perishes and Lord Brahma is its creator. The horoscope made by the creator Lord Brahma Contains Solution of every problems in which there is no possibility of any mathematical error. Even the lines on the palm provide prediction like planets & nakshatra and provide guidelines for the future. Just as two people can not have same destiny, same views and same course of life, in the same way palm lines can’t be same for two persons. The great palmist from Paris Disbarsolalas has declared that, if anyone in the world gets me two people with same palm lines and I will make my life’s will and wealth on his/her name. Everyone in the world has different lines. This is a definite and a universal fact. Every person has got his or her own destiny&character. Even the twins have some dissimilarities between them. A palmist works like a doctor. A doctor treats the patient and cures his diseases. A palmist treats the mind of the patient which is more complicated than physical cure. Each body part of every human being created by that supreme God has its own special significance and purpose. God has created palm lines to know the life events. That is the reason, finger prints never change but palm lines keep changing at various stages of our life. According to Shastras the first thing one should see in the morning after getting up from the bed is his/her own palm lines. Palmistry is a science, an art as well as a divine knowledge which helps one to understand the path of life. The knowledge of palmistry has been prevalent in Indian society & its boundary since ages. Samudara Rishi was the first one who takes the credit of creating this astrological science in chronological order. So Jyotish Shastra is called Samudrik Shashtra also. The book 'Learn Palmistry' contains history of palmistry, principle to see palm, type and characteristics of hands, type of fingers and nails, different lines of the palm, life line bracelet line, sun line......,palm lines and nine planets, mudrikas, description of moles, secret of death is hidden in palm lines, palm lines and mental peace, a common description of a womans real palm lines, hand print of Pakistani Prime Minister, hand print of film artist Manoj Kumar... and much more.

By 2050, the world’s population is estimated to grow to 10 billion. To feed everyone, we will have to double our food production, to produce more food in the next 40 years than in the whole of the last 6,000. Changing the Food Game shows how our unsustainable food production system cannot support this growth. In this prescient book, Lucas Simons argues that the biggest challenge for our generation can only be solved by effective market transformation to achieve sustainable agriculture and food production. Lucas Simons explains clearly how we have created a production and trading system that is inherently unsustainable. But he also demonstrates that we have reason to be hopeful – from a sustainability race in the cocoa industry to examples of market transformation taking place in palm oil, timber, and sugarcane production. He also poses the question: where next? Provocative and eye-opening, Changing the Food Game uncovers the real story of how our food makes it on to our plates and presents a game-changing solution to revolutionize the industry.

It’s in our food, our cosmetics, our fuel and our bodies. Palm oil, found in half of supermarket products, has shaped our world. Max Haiven uncovers how the gears of capitalism are literally and metaphorically lubricated by this ubiquitous elixir. From its origins in West Africa to today’s Southeast Asian palm oil superpowers, Haiven’s sweeping, experimental narrative takes us on a global journey that includes looted treasures, the American system of mass incarceration, the history of modern art and the industrialisation of war. Beyond simply calling for more consumer boycotts, he argues for recognising in palm oil humanity’s profound potential to shape our world beyond racial capitalism and neo-colonial dispossession. One part history, one part dream, one part theory, one part montage, this kaleidoscopic and urgent book asks us to recognise the past in the present and to seize the power to make a better world.

Following the Brexit and Trump election cycles, consistent, long-term policy solutions to environmental and other societal challenges are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. Stepping into this breach is a clear opportunity for innovation by public and privately held companies, as well as the increasingly significant role of investment and consumption. Sustainable Innovation and Impact provides a roadmap of the many critical pathways of positive change emerging to achieve modern day societal success, including rapidly evolving corporate and investment innovation and impact strategy considerations. Exploring innovation around the future of energy, electricity and related technologies, as well as transportation and buildings efficiency, Krosinsky and Cort consider ideas framed around the circular economy, operational and supply chain strategies and the global economy. Drawing together a diverse range of contributors and case studies, this book will be of great relevance to students, scholars and professionals with an interest in innovation, economics and sustainability more broadly.
