  In This Together explores how we can harness our social networks to make a real impact fighting the climate crisis. 
  Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of “network climate action"―the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change.Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections. Whether by inviting family, friends, or colleagues to a plant-rich meal or by becoming activists at climate nonprofits, we can forge the social norms and shared identities that can lead to change.With easy-to-follow dos and don’ts, In This Together shows us a practical and hopeful way forward into our shared future.

  Megalodon The: The History and...

  As scary as the shark in Jaws is, the extinct megalodon had teeth three times the length of those found within the jaws of a great white shark, so a human would only have been a small snack. In fact, the megalodon was capable of swallowing a small car. Known to scientists as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon (otodus meaning “tooth shaped like an ear”; carcharocles meaning “well known for jaggedness”; and megalodon meaning “big tooth”), this predator lived approximately 23–3.6 million years ago), from the early Miocene Epoch to the early Pliocene Epoch. The genus name Otodus and the family name Otodontidae are now the most commonly used, but scientific literature remains full of the older designation, and many of the shark experts regard the new family designation as flawed.  
  	For many years, megalodon was thought to be more closely related to the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and though both are still part of the order Lamniformes, the two species now reside in different families: Lamnidae and Otodontidae (megalodon). Either way, while great white sharks can reach sizes of 20 feet long and nearly 2.5 tons in weight, the average megalodon was twice as big, and some of them may have been about three times as big. The sheer size allowed it to target prey as big as whales, and the massive jaw allowed it to simply tear through any kind of body with no regard for the prey’s most vulnerable spots.  
  	While all of that seems to be beyond dispute, almost everything else about the history of the megalodon is up for debate, from its origins to its extinction.  The Megalodon: The History and Legacy of the World’s Largest Prehistoric Predator covers that expansive history in detail, from what is known to what remains most mysterious.

  Health care as it stands today needs to be re-imagined. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine by Paul Cerrato and Dr. John Halamka challenges the profession to renegotiate its priorities and address the fact that it’s become timid and reluctant to explore new care delivery models. The guiding premise of this book is that rethinking and reimagining the way medicine is practiced in the 21st century will improve health outcomes, and that technology is central to this transformation. Dr. Halamka is the President and Paul Cerrato is the Senior Research Analyst and Communications Specialist for Mayo Clinic Platform, which is harnessing novel technologies to change how care is provided. This cutting-edge work, along with their combined 80 years of experience in healthcare, afford Dr. Halamka and Mr. Cerrato authoritative voices in technology and health care. This book shows how one-size-fits-all health care is slowly giving way to a more precise, personalized approach that takes into account each person’s unique environmental and genetic risk factors. It discusses the use of several emerging technological tools that give each patient a unique “topographical map” to navigate their journey. Artificial intelligence in health care must be accurate, equitable and ethical; providers need to embrace a better way to predict diseases, identify effective treatments and rethink much of the conventional wisdom that has been handed down over the decades. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine provides the guide to doing just that.
