    Solar energy, once a niche application for a limited market, has become the cheapest and fastest-growing power source on earth. What's more, its potential is nearly limitless. But in Taming the Sun, energy expert Varun Sivaram warns that the world is not yet equipped to harness erratic sunshine to meet most of its energy needs. And if solar's current surge peters out, prospects for replacing fossil fuels and averting catastrophic climate change will dim. 
    Innovation can brighten those prospects, Sivaram explains. Financial innovation is already enticing deep-pocketed investors to fund solar projects around the world. Technological innovation could replace today's solar panels with coatings as cheap as paint and employ artificial photosynthesis to store intermittent sunshine as convenient fuels. And systemic innovation could add flexibility to the world's power grids and other energy systems so they can dependably channel the sun's unreliable energy. 
    Unleashing all this innovation will require visionary public policy: funding researchers developing next-generation solar technologies, refashioning energy systems and economic markets, and putting together a diverse clean energy portfolio. Although solar can't power the planet by itself, it can be the centerpiece of a global clean energy revolution.

    Who Can Care For Me Now?

    Elizabeth Orr is the first to admit that she had no knowledge of the realities of caring for someone desperately ill in the UK. That was until she found her brother, Norman, collapsed on the bathroom floor. Overnight, Elizabeth was catapulted into the medical and care worlds as she battled to support her brother. The learning curve was vertical, as Elizabeth struggled with the litany of paperwork, red tape, finance issues, and working with myriad NHS departments and resources required to keep her brother alive. Who Can Care For Me Now? charts Elizabeth and Norman's emotional journey through this complex care system — in hospital, at a neurological nursing home, and receiving care at home — from his initial collapse to his untimely death, just twenty months later. Elizabeth hopes to raise awareness, not just of the daily sacrifices made by carers everywhere, but also of the devastating affects of brain disease — and to stimulate much-needed conversation about how we provide care, and how we must improve it.

    This memoir tells the story of Georgia physician Dhaval Desai's life during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a new father, frontline physician and healthcare leader on the brink of burnout, and a member of an ethnic minority in the South, his tale is marked by chaotic intersections.  His commitment to fostering and advocating for humanity in medicine inspired him to write a personal narrative of his experience as a frontline physician during the COVID-19 pandemic, "Burning Out on the Covid Front Lines: A Doctor’s Memoir of Fatherhood, Race and Perseverance in the Pandemic". Along with sharing the story of his own struggles as a leader and healer during a time of intense pressure and uncertainty for countless doctors, nurses, and hospital workers, Dr. Desai calls attention to ongoing issues plaguing the healthcare system, including health inequality, racial injustice, an emphasis on metrics over compassion in treatment, and the alarming rate of burnout and suicide among healthcare professionals.

    The Metaverse will revolutionize everything! Get ahead of the competition! 
    What exactly is the metaverse? And how can we make money with it? 
     If you’ve not heard, metaverse is the future! 
    The Metaverse is the future of internet, learning how to invest and make money from it is the best thing you can do!!! The new virtual reality is closer than we can imagine and it’ll change everything we have imagined until now. 
    We are in web 2.0 right now. We are starting to phase into web 3.0, which involves the layering in immersive technologies like Augmented and Virtual reality, blockchain technologies such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs. 
    Back in 2000, many people thought the internet was a "fad" and yet in 2021 at the peak of the pandemic the British public demanded access to the internet as a "human right". Imagine how much the Metaverse will change in years to come... 
    It is therefore not surprising that Facebook has so much trust in it such that they changed their business name to Meta! Facebook is spending billions of dollars a year already on the metaverse. Bloomberg recently projected the market size of the metaverse to reach $800 billion by 2024! 
    Though metaverses have existed for more than two decades, it was neither widely known nor adopted outside the gaming industry. However, with the meteoric rise of the DeFi and NFT applications in the last two years, metaverse suddenly became a buzzword as metaverse platforms were mushrooming by integrating DeFi and NFT into GameFi to create sensational 3D VR experiences and allow users to monetize while playing (Play to Earn). 
    The potential is huge for those who know what they are doing... 
    This book will teach you everything about making money through investments in the new digital economy, into the Metaverse world and all the new technologies that have to do with it.
