Sinossi

Newton's Apple masterfully traces the evolution of gravitational theory from Isaac Newton's famous falling apple observation to its profound impact on modern science and technology. This comprehensive exploration bridges historical discovery with contemporary applications, demonstrating how a simple observation revolutionized our understanding of the universe and continues to shape scientific advancement today.

 
The book's three-part structure offers readers a compelling journey through time, beginning with the scientific climate of the 17th century and Newton's groundbreaking insights. It then transitions into clear explanations of gravitational principles, including gravitational fields and orbital mechanics, before culminating in an examination of modern applications in satellite technology and space exploration.

 
Throughout the narrative, complex concepts are presented with accessible language and practical examples, making advanced physics concepts comprehensible to science enthusiasts and educated general readers alike. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, weaving together historical documentation, mathematical principles, and current research from prestigious institutions like NASA and CERN.

 
The author expertly demonstrates how Newton's fundamental theory continues to influence multiple fields, from quantum gravity to aerospace engineering, while addressing contemporary challenges in gravitational physics. By connecting historical discovery with modern applications, readers gain a deep appreciation for both the historical significance and ongoing relevance of gravitational theory in our daily lives and future technological developments.

    Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
    The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
    As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

    Prizewinning investigative journalist Art Levine offers a no-holds-barred and crucial call to action for America’s broken mental health system. 
    The mental health system in America is hardly a front-burner issue, despite lip-service about reform after a tragic mass killing. Yet every American should care deeply about fixing a system a presidential commission reported was in “shambles.” By some measures, about 20 percent of Americans have some sort of mental health condition, including the most vulnerable among us―veterans, children, the elderly, prisoners, and the homeless. With Mental Health, Inc., award-winning investigative journalist Art Levine delivers a Shock Doctrine–style exposé of the failures of our out-of-control, profits-driven mental health system, with a special emphasis on the failures of the pharmaceuticals industry, including the treatment of children with antipsychotics and disastrous PTSD protocols for veterans. 
    Levine provides narrative portraits of victims and people who won unexpected victories against their illnesses by getting smart, personalized help, as well as snapshots of corrupt Big Pharma executives and researchers who created fraudulent marketing schemes. Levine also tells the dramatic David vs. Goliath stories of a few brave reformers, including Harvard-trained psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Stefan Kruszewski, who has acted as a whistle-blower in numerous cases, leading to major federal and state settlements, as well as spotlighting pioneering clinicians challenging outmoded, drug-and-sedate practices that leave 90 percent of people with serious mental illness too disabled to work. 
    By taking a comprehensive look at mental health abuses and dangerous, ineffective practices as well as pointing toward solutions for creating a system for effective, proven, and compassionate care, Art Levine’s essential Mental Health, Inc. is a call to action for politicians and citizens alike.

    Brain research has been accelerating rapidly in recent decades, but the translation of our many discoveries into treatments and cures for brain disorders has not happened as many expected. We do not have cures for the vast majority of brain illnesses, and many medications we have to treat the brain are derived from drugs produced in the 1950s—before we knew much about the brain at all. Tackling brain disorders is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. What will it take to overcome it? Nicole Rust takes listeners along on her journey to answer this question. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on decades of experience, Rust reflects on how far we have come in our quest to unlock the secrets of the brain and what remains to be discovered. She shows us that treating a brain disorder is more like redirecting a hurricane than fixing a domino chain of cause and effect, arguing that only once we embrace the idea of the brain as a complex system do we have any hope of finding cures. Rust profiles the pioneering ideas about the brain that are driving research at the cutting edge to illuminate exactly how much we know about disorders—and what it will take to eradicate these scourges. 
     
     
     
    Elusive Cures sheds light on one of the most daunting challenges confronted by science while offering hope for revolutionary new treatments and cures for the brain.
