Synopsis

"The Atomic Age" explores the complex history, science, and impact of nuclear power, examining its evolution from theoretical physics to a technology that simultaneously promises clean energy and threatens global destruction. The book delves into the Manhattan Project's origins, the subsequent Cold War arms race, and the development of nuclear power plants, revealing how science, history, and ethical considerations are intertwined in the nuclear narrative. One intriguing fact is the dual-use nature of nuclear technology, offering both benefits and risks, while another is its profound effect on geopolitical strategies and environmental science. The book progresses through three major sections, starting by explaining the basic physics of fission, fusion, and radioactivity, ensuring accessibility for non-scientists. It then traces the historical development of the atomic age, from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the present day. Finally, it examines contemporary challenges like nuclear waste disposal and reactor safety, while also exploring opportunities such as fusion energy. By connecting scientific advancements with their historical and societal consequences, "The Atomic Age" provides a holistic perspective on nuclear technology suitable for students, researchers, and policymakers.

    Grey’s Anatomy meets One L in this psychiatrist’s charming and poignant memoir about his residency at Harvard. Adam Stern was a student at a state medical school before being selected to train as a psychiatry resident at one of the most prestigious programs in the country. His new and initially intimidating classmates were high achievers from the Ivy League and other elite universities around the nation. Faculty raved about the group as though the residency program had won the lottery, nicknaming them “The Golden Class,” but would Stern ever prove that he belonged? In his memoir, Stern pulls back the curtain on the intense and emotionally challenging lessons he and his fellow doctors learned while studying the human condition, and ultimately, the value of connection. The narrative focuses on these residents, their growth as doctors, and the life choices they make as they try to survive their grueling four-year residency. Rich with drama, insight, and emotion, Stern shares engrossing stories of life on the psychiatric wards, as well as the group’s experiences as they grapple with impostor syndrome and learn about love and loss. Most importantly, as they study how to help distressed patients in search of a better life, they discover the meaning of failure and the preciousness of success.  Stern’s growth as a doctor, and as a man, have readers rooting for him and his patients, and ultimately find their own hearts fuller for having taken this journey with him.

    What is it about eels? Depending on who you ask, they are a pest, a fascination, a threat, a pot of gold. Eels emerged some 200 million years ago, weathered mass extinctions and continental shifts, and were once among the world's most abundant freshwater fish. But since the 1970s, their numbers have plummeted. Because eels—as unagi—are another thing: delicious. 
     
     
     
    In Slippery Beast, journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell travels in the world of "eel people," pursuing a fascination with this mysterious creature. Despite centuries of study by thinkers from Aristotle to Leeuwenhoek to Sigmund Freud, much about eels remains unknown. Eels cannot be bred reliably in captivity and infant eels are unbelievably valuable. A pound of the tiny, translucent, bug-eyed "elvers" caught in the fresh waters of Maine can command $3,000 or more on the black market. Illegal trade in eels is an international scandal measured in billions of dollars every year. In Maine, federal investigators have risked their lives to bust poaching rings. 
     
     
     
    Ruppel Shell follows the elusive eel from Maine to the Sargasso Sea, stalking riversides, fishing holes, laboratories, restaurants, courtrooms, and America's first commercial eel "family farm." This is an enthralling, globe-spanning look at an animal that you may never come to love, but which will never fail to astonish you.
