Synopsis

Internet Fun Facts explores the fascinating and often bizarre evolution of the internet, revealing how it became a cultural phenomenon beyond its original purpose. Delving into the history of digital culture, the book uncovers surprising facts, like the first webcam's focus on a coffee pot, and highlights the quirky origins of viral content. The book argues that the internet reflects human creativity, curiosity, and, at times, outright weirdness, showcasing our shared digital obsessions.

 
The book presents information in an accessible way, avoiding technical jargon while maintaining factual accuracy. It begins by examining pioneering moments in internet history, such as early email pranks and the first viral videos, before shining a light on some of the most bizarre and niche websites ever created. Finally, it investigates the cultural impact of these phenomena, exploring how they have shaped online communities and redefined digital expression. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of internet oddities.

 
Focusing primarily on phenomena from the late 20th century to the mid-2010s, Internet Fun Facts provides a historical snapshot of a rapidly changing landscape. It’s a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the forces that shape our online experiences, from internet memes to online trends.

    From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our help as much as we need them. 
    Something happens to you the first time you dive with sharks… 
    We have a perennial fascination with sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450 million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter. Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened. 
    Paul de Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that, despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what will happen if we don’t look out for them. 
    In SHARK, Paul de Gelder, a shark attack survivor turned advocate, explores the intricate ecosystems of the seas and oceans. He emphasises the importance of marine conservation and the protection of the diverse habitats that these misunderstood creatures call home. 
    For fans of Daniel C. Abel (The Lives of Sharks), Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Brian Skerry (Shark), David A. Ebert (Sharks of the World), and Lee Schofield (Wild Fell).

    This book takes readers on a thrilling journey through the hidden layers of the cosmos. In Exploring the Invisible, we peer beyond the limits of human sight into a world driven by forces we can’t touch or see—like gravity, dark matter, and the quantum fields that ripple beneath reality. 
    In Invisible Worlds, the adventure continues as we dive into the possibility of hidden dimensions, parallel universes, and strange particles that whisper secrets about how space and time truly work. Scientists are only beginning to uncover the shadowy realms that influence everything from how galaxies form to how atoms behave. 
    Finally, Space's Hidden Forces reveals the quiet rulers of the universe—dark energy expanding space at lightning speed, magnetic fields shaping stars, and neutrinos flying through us every second. These unseen powers may hold the answers to the biggest questions in science, reshaping what we think we know about existence itself.

    Most stories of medical progress come with ready-made heroes. John Snow traced the origins of London's 1854 cholera outbreak to a water pump, leading to the birth of epidemiology. Florence Nightingale's contributions to the care of soldiers in the Crimean War transformed hospitals from crucibles of infection to sanctuaries of recuperation. Yet histories of individual innovators ignore many key sources of medical knowledge. 
     
     
     
    Reexamining the foundations of modern medicine, Jim Downs shows that the study of infectious disease depended crucially on the unrecognized contributions of nonconsenting subjects—conscripted soldiers, enslaved people, and subjects of empire. Plantations, slave ships, and battlefields were the laboratories in which physicians came to understand the spread of disease. Military doctors learned about the importance of air quality by monitoring Africans confined to the bottom of slave ships. Statisticians charted cholera outbreaks by surveilling Muslims in British-dominated territories returning from their annual pilgrimage. 
     
     
     
    The scientific knowledge derived from discarding and exploiting human life is now the basis of our ability to protect humanity from epidemics. Boldly argued and eye-opening, Maladies of Empire gives a full account of the true price of medical progress.
