    “A highly ambitious and provocative survey of the cultural history of science and industry” from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries (Journal of Modern History). In 1687, the publication of Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica sparked a profound transformation in the world. From that event in the late-seventeenth century to the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851, science gradually moved to the center Western thought and economic development. In Practical Matter, Margaret Jacob and Larry Stewart chronicle this dramatic, epochal shift. Despite powerful opposition on the Continent, a Newtonian understanding gained broad-based acceptance and practical application. By the mid-eighteenth century, the race was on to apply Newtonian mechanics to industry and manufacturing. The ascendancy of the new science culminated in the creating of the Crystal Palace Exhibition, London’s temple to scientific and technological progress. With fascinating insight into the changing culture of industry and higher learning, Jacob and Stewart show that there was nothing inevitable about the Scientific Revolution. “It is easy to forget that science might have been stillborn, or remained the esoteric knowledge of court elites. Instead, for better and for worse, science became a centerpiece of Western culture.”

    Are you curious about Fluids and Electrolytes?Would you like to be able to understand them once and for all?‍If so, then keep reading! 
Biofluids are one of the main components of the body's metabolical and regulatory mechanisms that regulate homeostasis. Their circulation, composition, and style of activities vary, so it is necessary to study the mode of circulation and what these changes in body fluids imply in reality. 
Even the slightest imbalances in body fluid composition can reveal hidden and underlying conditions that can't be discovered otherwise. 
That is why it's important to know at all times what every deviation means. Since it is impossible to store every bit of information in your brain, you might need quick access to such information – that's what this practical guide offers.This guide is written from a skilled nurse's personal experience so that you can have easy access to all essential information at all times.This practical medical audiobook can offer you: 
✅ Way to refresh your knowledge on basic medical concepts regarding bodily fluids 
✅ Quick access to relevant information (abbreviations, measurements, etc.) 
✅ Easy access to referent values of their composition – serum sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, etc. 
✅ Easy way to reference increased and decreased values with clinical implications and factors that can affect results 
✅ Quick way to review or update yourself on some concepts and procedures 
If you want to stay on the top of your game and be the expert that you and your patient deserve to be, then this practical guide is a Must-Have in your collection.

    An in-depth profile of the digital native generation from the Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper.   For the generation after Millennials, technology has been the only way of life since birth. These children are the first group to have their formative moments chronicled on Facebook, to grow up surrounded by the ubiquity of smartphones, and most important, to navigate a social landscape ruled by the internet. With this lifestyle comes a host of issues that prior generations never dealt with, including cyberbullying, alienation from peers with greater access to technology, and an increasing vulnerability to online sexual predators.   This series of articles from the Washington Post delves into the everyday lives of American kids and teenagers. With its exploration of the unique pressures and complications of living an online life (and most of life online), this collection is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of Generation Z.

    Alice Taylor brings the reader with her on her 80th birthday year.

Alice had a big birthday on the horizon, the village was about to celebrate many milestones, and she had just received the gift of a book focusing her on the art of living well. So she decided to write about her year as it unfolded, to keep a journal of the big events, and record the twists and turns normal life brings to all of us in just one year.
But 2018 turned out to be far from normal, with storms, snow blizzards, blistering sun, severe drought and water shortages. She describes the challenges of all these dramatic weather changes.
Alice began the year wondering how she would feel about reaching eighty. She was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was just another milestone on a journey that is still varied and interesting. Here she writes about these feelings, and the many pleasant and challenging events of her eightieth year.

    An exploration of humanity’s relationship with ice since the dawn of civilization, Of Ice and Men reminds us that only by understanding this unique substance can we save the ice on our planet—and perhaps ourselves. 
 
Ice tells a story. It writes it in rock. It lays it down, snowfall by snowfall at the ends of the earth where we may read it like the rings on a tree. It tells our planet’s geological and climatological tale. 
 
Ice tells another story too: a story about us. It is a tale packed with swash-buckling adventure and improbable invention, peopled with driven, eccentric, often brilliant characters. It tells how our species has used ice to reshape the world according to our needs and our desires: how we have survived it, harvested it, traded it, bent science to our will to make it—and how in doing so we have created globe-spanning infrastructures that are entirely dependent upon it. 
 
And even after we have done all that, we take ice so much for granted that we barely notice it. 
 
Ice has supercharged the modern world. It has allowed us to feed ourselves and cure ourselves in ways unimaginable two hundred years ago. It has enabled the global population to rise from less than 1 billion to nearly 7½ billion—which just happens to cover the same period of time as humanity has harvested, manufactured, and distributed ice on an industrial scale. 
 
And yet the roots of our fascination with ice and its properties run much deeper than the recent past.
