Sinopse

Living Materials explores the exciting potential of integrating living organisms and biological processes into material science, offering solutions to issues of sustainability and performance. This emerging field promises self-repairing structures and buildings that grow, moving beyond the limitations of traditional materials. Imagine bio-concrete buildings and self-repairing pipelines becoming commonplace, greatly reducing our reliance on resource-intensive manufacturing. The book traces the development of bio-materials and their applications in Growing Structures, Living Infrastructure, and Designing with Biology. It highlights how biotechnology is being used for environmental remediation, such as in bio-filtration systems, and also examines the integration of living systems into design, for example, bio-luminescent lighting. One intriguing area covered is the potential for Living Materials to revolutionize construction through bio-printed buildings, showcasing a blend of biology and architecture. The book provides a structured overview, beginning with fundamental concepts and progressing through real-world applications, ethical considerations, and future directions. By presenting research, case studies, and expert interviews, it bridges the gap between current scientific understanding and the transformative possibilities of bio-integrated design, making it valuable for anyone interested in sustainable development and the future of materials science.

    The Happy Vagina shines a light on both the unique and sometimes awkward facts about everything gynaecological, creating an open dialogue for all sexes and generations. 
    “A fierce and fabulous celebration of women. Mika’s straight-talking, no-nonsense writing means she is the friend we don’t just want, but need. Beautiful and empowering. A must read.” – Laura Whitmore 
    In a world where the vagina is still, too frequently, considered taboo, this book aims to entertain, educate and enlighten. Mika Simmons, creator and host of 'The Happy Vagina' podcast, rightly believes that this taboo is problematic and can lead to a whole host of health issues. Intimate health and pleasure can be hard to talk about, regardless of background or experience, The Happy Vagina is here to smash this stigma for women, and men. 
    Medicine, politics, religion, and social conditioning have all had a thoroughly improper and exaggerated influence on women’s being – with many of the falsehoods told still negatively impacting us. Mika’s intention is to re-educate us all by shining a light on these ridiculous, historical myths and then debunk them by sharing the most unique, incredible, and empowering facts about the vagina, thereby encouraging a more open dialogue for everyone. 
    Covering everything from the myth of the wandering womb to mindful masturbation and orgasms to period poverty, the history of contraception, pregnancy and being childfree, Mika’s approachable and positive message urges all of us to know, and appreciate, our own bodies. 
    The Happy Vagina is a best-selling, top-rated book in the medical genre, providing an illustrated guide to gynaecology and obstetrics. Mika Simmons promotes a healthy body and spirit, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in fitness and women's health. 
    For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), Dr Louise Newson (Hot Topics for Mrcgp and General Practitioners), Davinia Taylor (It's Not A Diet), Matthew Mcconaughey (Greenlights), and Lara Briden Nd (Period Repair Manual).

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. How Software Fails: A Field Guide to Understanding Complex System Disasters 
    Software failures aren't accidents, they're inevitabilities. In a universe governed by probability rather than certainty, even cosmic rays from distant stars can flip bits in computer memory, causing election machines to miscount votes or video game characters to jump impossibly high. But cosmic interference is just the beginning of how our most critical systems fail in spectacular and unpredictable ways. 
     
    Through gripping real-world case studies, this field guide reveals the hidden laws governing complex system disasters. Discover how Knight Capital lost $460 million in 45 minutes due to a single misplaced software flag. Learn why the Therac-25 radiation machine killed patients despite passing every safety test.Understand how a 40-kilobyte configuration file crashed 8.5 million computers worldwide, grounding flights and shuttering hospitals across the globe. 
     
    What You'll Learn 
    Based on complexity theorist Richard Cook's groundbreaking principles, you'll discover: 
    - Why testing can never guarantee perfection, and what to do instead 
    - How "reasonable" decisions combine to create unreasonable disasters 
    - Why complex systems always run in degraded mode, and why that's actually normal 
    - How scale transforms rare impossibilities into daily certainties 
    - Why the search for "root causes" consistently leads us astray 
     
    But this isn't just about understanding failure, it's about building resilience. Explore practical strategies from organizations that have learned to thrive in chaos: 
    - NASA's Mars rovers that adapt and learn from component failures, operating decades beyond their planned lifetimes 
    - The internet's routing protocols that automatically heal themselves when damaged 
    - Netflix's chaos engineering that deliberately breaks their own servers to build antifragile systems 
    - The ethical frameworks for deciding what level of failure is acceptable when lives are at stake
