  How to Make a Killing - Blood...

  Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
   
   
   
  With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
   
   
   
  How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.

  Thanks to smartphones, war is everywhere, all the time. Anyone can view, analyze, and comment on photos, videos, or other warzone media. Where did this technology come from? And what does it mean for the future of war?This book explains why you see what you do on your phone, and how these devices shape our knowledge, conduct, and representation of war in the 2020s. It shows why smartphones are indispensable in peace and wartime: every device is a potential weapon, lines blur between war and daily life, and conflict becomes a shared digital experience. Social media platforms displace state-controlled narratives, amplifying violence and shaping war's legitimacy. Apps democratize conflict, enabling anyone to identify and attack perceived enemies. As the Ukraine war has shown, this new reality involves complex, unevenly distributed infrastructures, merging civilian communication with military targeting.With war accelerating beyond our comprehension, militaries have raced to benefit from and adapt to the smartphone age. Matthew Ford explores critical questions about today's hyper-connected battlefield.

  Space's Hidden Forces - How Dark...

  For centuries, humans have gazed up at the night sky in awe, wondering what lies beyond the stars. With the invention of powerful telescopes, astronomers began mapping galaxies, studying their motion, and uncovering patterns in how they moved through space. But something strange started to appear in the data. Galaxies were spinning in ways that defied the known laws of gravity. Based on what could be seen—the stars, dust, and gas—the galaxies should have been flying apart. The visible mass simply wasn’t enough to account for the gravitational pull holding everything together. This marked the beginning of a great cosmic mystery. 
  In the 1930s, Swiss-American astronomer Fritz Zwicky made one of the first observations that hinted at this invisible force. He studied a cluster of galaxies and noticed that they were moving too fast to be held together by the visible matter alone. He proposed the existence of “dunkle Materie,” or dark matter—an unknown substance that made up the missing mass. At the time, his ideas were largely ignored or dismissed as speculative. But in the decades that followed, more evidence began to emerge, and dark matter slowly gained credibility within the scientific community. 
  Fast forward to the 1970s, astronomer Vera Rubin provided some of the most convincing evidence that dark matter was real. By analyzing the rotation curves of spiral galaxies, she showed that stars far from the center of galaxies were moving just as quickly as those near the core. According to Newtonian physics, the stars on the edges should move slower, as the gravitational pull should weaken with distance from the center. But that wasn’t happening. Something unseen was holding these stars in orbit, acting like a glue that bound the galaxies together. This unseen substance, which does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, became known as dark matter.

  This audiobook is produced in collaboration with a qualified hypnotherapist and medical professional.  
  Sleep hypnosis is a technique that uses hypnotic suggestions to help people fall asleep more easily and improve the quality of their sleep. Hypnosis is a state of consciousness where the individual is more open to suggestions and more receptive to positive changes. Sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to help people overcome insomnia and other sleep disorders. 
  Sleep hypnosis works by using guided imagery and positive affirmations to help the mind relax and let go of any negative thoughts or worries that may be preventing sleep. A hypnotist or recorded audio program will guide the listener through a series of relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, to help the body release tension and prepare for sleep. 
  Some studies have suggested that sleep hypnosis can be an effective way to improve sleep quality and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. One study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that participants who underwent sleep hypnosis had better sleep quality and felt more refreshed upon waking than those who did not receive the treatment. 
  In conclusion, sleep hypnosis can be a useful tool for those struggling with sleep issues. With the right guidance and techniques, sleep hypnosis may be a useful tool for achieving a better night's sleep.
