  An easy to read, honest and personal account of the life of a surgeon and the effect that it has on his wife and family. The reader is taken behind the scenes as fascinating patient stories are used to illustrate what the job entails and the pressures and emotions that result; the child with life-threatening injuries or the patient needing end of life care. Incidents of medical malpractice, sexism and other problems encountered within the NHS are also related, again exemplified by authentic clinical stories.

  Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of how this pervasive science came to be and how it works: who funds it, how physicists are trained and how they think, and how physics supports the technology we all use. Sidney Perkowitz presents the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics from ideas of the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, cosmology, digital electronics, and energy production. Considering its most consequential experiments, including recent results in elementary particles, gravitational waves and materials science, he also discusses outside the lab, the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe.

  Medical Genetics - Understanding...

  Medical genetics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the role of genetic variations in human health and disease. It encompasses the study of inherited disorders, genetic predisposition to diseases, and the application of genetics in medical practice. Understanding the fundamentals of medical genetics is crucial for diagnosing, treating, and preventing genetic conditions. 
  Genes, composed of DNA, serve as the blueprint for the development and functioning of the human body. DNA is organized into chromosomes, with humans typically having 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Of these, 22 pairs are autosomes, and one pair consists of sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males). Each parent contributes one chromosome per pair, ensuring genetic diversity. 
  Mutations, or changes in DNA sequences, play a key role in medical genetics. These mutations can be inherited or acquired and may lead to genetic disorders. Some mutations are benign, while others can disrupt normal biological functions, leading to conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington’s disease. Mutations can be classified into different types, including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and chromosomal abnormalities.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Emergency preparedness is no longer an option—it is a necessity. With the increasing frequency of natural disasters, pandemics, and unforeseen crises, individuals and communities must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, power outage, or civil unrest, the ability to react swiftly can mean the difference between safety and catastrophe. Unfortunately, too many people remain unprepared, relying on the assumption that government agencies or emergency responders will handle everything. While these organizations play a crucial role, personal preparedness is the first line of defense in any crisis.  
    
  One of the most significant misconceptions about emergency preparedness is that disasters are rare or unlikely to happen. However, global trends suggest otherwise. Climate change has intensified storms, heatwaves, and flooding events, making them more frequent and severe. Earthquakes and wildfires continue to threaten communities worldwide. Beyond natural disasters, cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, and public health emergencies have highlighted vulnerabilities in modern societies. The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of how quickly daily life can be upended, leaving many scrambling for essential supplies and reliable information.  
    
  Preparedness goes beyond simply stocking up on food and water. It involves understanding risks, developing an action plan, and ensuring that essential resources are available when needed. A well-thought-out emergency plan includes knowing evacuation routes, securing important documents, and maintaining a communication strategy with family and friends. In an emergency, panic and confusion can lead to dangerous decisions. Those who prepare in advance are better equipped to make rational choices and protect themselves and their loved ones.
