Описание: This "ambitious [and] delightful" (The New York Times) work of literary nonfiction interweaves the science and history of the powerful refrigerant (and dangerous greenhouse gas) Freon with a haunting meditation on how to live meaningfully and morally in a rapidly heating world. In After Cooling, Eric Dean Wilson braids together air-conditioning history, climate science, road trips, and philosophy to tell the story of the birth, life, and afterlife of Freon, the refrigerant that ripped a hole larger than the continental United States in the ozone layer. As he traces the refrigerant's life span from its invention in the 1920s--when it was hailed as a miracle of scientific progress--to efforts in the 1980s to ban the chemical (and the resulting political backlash), Wilson finds himself on a journey through the American heartland, trailing a man who buys up old tanks of Freon stockpiled in attics and basements to destroy what remains of the chemical before it can do further harm. Wilson is at heart an essayist, looking far and wide to tease out what particular forces in American culture--in capitalism, in systemic racism, in our values--combined to lead us into the Freon crisis and then out. "Meticulously researched and engagingly written" (Amitav Ghosh), this "knockout debut" (New York Journal of Books) offers a rare glimpse of environmental hope, suggesting that maybe the vast and terrifying problem of global warming is not beyond our grasp to face.

Have you been suffering many sleepless nights, tossing and turning in your bed because you cannot seem to stop thinking about how much of your life you have wasted? Is your mind full of thoughts of the things that you could have done with your time if you weren't so lazy? It would not be so bad if you were actually remorseful when you wake up the next day, but chances are you will still be too lazy to get your butt off the sofa and actually do anything, mainly because you have no energy due to lack of sleep. Once evening comes, you repeat the cycle all over again. You will find: - How to "cheat" more hours out of your day - How to organize your to-do list for maximum productivity and minimum "I want to tear my hair out and kill someone" - The myth of the "morning person" - Why you already have what you need to succeed, even if you're broke, ugly, and talentless - The five willpower killers that destroy motivation - How to get things done when you're overwhelmed or don't feel like it - The sometimes friendly, sometimes not-so-friendly kick in the pants you need to make you see and do things differently, change your life, and hopefully laugh in the process This book gives you a blueprint for developing powerful habits by making small changes at a time. When you follow the habit stacking method it's easy to make changes because the changes are small and manageable. The power is in continuing to add to small habits.
