Chronic diseases, particularly diabetes, have become more prevalent due to increased life expectancy and advancements in health sciences. With no known cure, diabetes significantly impacts morbidity and mortality, necessitating ongoing education and healthcare to prevent complications. Modern health approaches focus on enhancing quality of life and dignity rather than solely treating diseases. The perception of one's health status is crucial, as it incorporates physical, emotional, and social factors that affect disease development and treatment outcomes.

Inspired by biologist Ana Pego's life's work, and filled with engaging science and colorful photographs, this foundational look at plastic pollution in the ocean explains why it is such an urgent contemporary issue. When she was young, Ana Pego didn't play in a backyard, but on a beach. She walked along the shore, looked at tide pools, and collected fossils. As she grew older, Pego noticed a new species at the seaside: plastic. She decided to collect it, study it, and give it a Latin name - Plasticus maritimus - to warn people of its dangers to our planet. Pego tells us how plastics end up in our rivers, lakes, and oceans, shares plastic's chemical composition and physical properties, and offers a field guide to help readers identify and understand this new invasive species in all its forms, from the obvious (fishing nets and water bottles) to the unfamiliar (tiny, clear particles called microplastics).
