Sinossi

Preparedness takes action! Learn more about hazards which can affect your community and ways you can take action to prepare and participate:  Earthquakes can occur suddenly and be deadly. Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects.  Flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States and can happen anywhere. Hurricanes have the power to cause widespread devastation, and can affect both coastal and inland areas.  Tornadoes are one of nature's most violent storms, and can cause death, injury, and destruction within seconds.  Wildfires can occur anywhere and can destroy homes, businesses, infrastructure, natural resources, and agriculture.  Winter storms can occur anywhere and bring freezing rain, ice, snow, high winds or a combination of all these conditions. They can cause power outages that last for days or weeks; making it hard to keep warm and making travel very dangerous.  Recent national tragedies remind us that the risk is real: an active shooter incident can happen in any place at any time. The best way to make sure you and your loved ones stay safe is to prepare ahead of time.

    The information in this ebook on various aspects of using the Internet to your advantage is organised into 20 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line. In fact, the number of people trying to make (some extra) money online has skyrocketed over the last ten or twelve years, but especially since the Covid-19 lockdowns. 
    Not everything can be blamed on Covid-19 though. Britain, for example, has suffered twelve years of ‘austerity’ brought in by a government that seems no longer to care about the electorate. First they blamed the banking crisis; then the influx of foreign labour; then Covid; and now Brexit and the war in the Ukraine. No doubt you have heard similar excuses where you live. Anyway, the result has been exorbitant inflation and a reduction in wages, and that has led to enterprising people trying improve their situation by working online. This book is for you. I hope that it helps.

    Hematology - The Bloodline:...

    Blood is one of the most vital components of the human body, performing essential functions that sustain life. It serves as the primary transport system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while removing waste products. Beyond its role in circulation, blood is integral to immunity, clotting, and maintaining homeostasis. Understanding its significance is crucial not only for medical professionals but for anyone interested in maintaining good health. 
    One of the most fundamental roles of blood is oxygen transportation. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to cells throughout the body. Without this continuous supply of oxygen, tissues would quickly deteriorate, leading to organ failure and death. At the same time, blood carries carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular metabolism, back to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body. This exchange ensures that cells function efficiently and that the body's pH levels remain balanced. 
    Beyond oxygen transport, blood is responsible for distributing nutrients absorbed from the digestive system. Glucose, amino acids, lipids, and vitamins travel through the bloodstream to nourish organs and fuel metabolic processes. Additionally, blood removes waste products such as urea and lactic acid, transporting them to the kidneys and liver for detoxification and elimination. This regulatory role ensures that harmful substances do not accumulate to dangerous levels.

    Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. As he gets older, he disappears into the woods at night, drawn to animal life. One night, an encounter with a deer changes his life: from then on, he knows he wants to live among them. 
     
     
     
    Delorme becomes a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for food. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him. He witnesses their births and deaths, courtship and battles, ostracism and friendship over the cycles of their lives. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature. 
     
     
     
    In his final year in the forest, Delorme meets a woman walking through the trees. He knows he can stay in the forest and die with his friends—or he can leave and speak their truth to a human world. 
     
     
     
    Deer Man is a moving story of what it's like to be an outsider and how forming connections with the natural world can help us feel less alone. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, Deer Man asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.

    Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation
    		 
    “Ultimately, the author successfully demonstrates how claims should be queried and analyzed before they are accepted.” — Library Journal
    		 
    We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery — loosely defined as the spread of false “knowledge,” often accompanied by various versions of “snake oil” — is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. 
    		 
    In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.
