  Methuselah's Zoo - What Nature...

  Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. 
   
   
   
  Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. 
   
   
   
  Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?

  Tympanology - Hearing and the...

  Tympanology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and its role in hearing. It delves into the intricacies of ear health, diagnosing ear-related disorders, and understanding how the ear functions. The term "tympanology" is derived from "tympanum," which is the Latin word for the eardrum. This field of study is essential not only for understanding the anatomy and physiology of the ear but also for managing and treating various ear conditions that can affect a person’s hearing. 
  The ear is a sophisticated organ responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals, which are then interpreted by the brain. The eardrum plays a pivotal role in this process. It is a thin, flexible membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves. These vibrations are transferred to the tiny bones of the middle ear and eventually to the inner ear, where they are converted into nerve signals. Thus, the eardrum acts as the first step in a complex process that allows humans to hear the world around them. 
  Tympanology covers a broad spectrum of topics, from the anatomy of the ear to the various disorders that can affect the ear, including infections, trauma, and diseases that impact the eardrum and overall hearing. By understanding the delicate structure and function of the eardrum, healthcare professionals can diagnose and treat a wide range of ear-related conditions. Diseases or damage to the eardrum can lead to hearing loss, which can profoundly impact an individual’s quality of life.

  I Was Famous on the Internet

  You are about to experience my journey of being famous on the Internet. I reached the top—millions of followers, billions of views, six-figure months, and fans in every country. From the outside, it looked like everything people chase. Inside, it felt like a prison I built. Every click and dollar cost my peace, my family, and my sanity. In I Was Famous on the Internet, I take you behind the scenes of online fame—not the filtered dream, but the raw truth of what it does to your mind and soul. I went from a broke ex-police officer to a top Udemy instructor earning millions, became an early crypto YouTuber and a Facebook Gaming partner, and burned out until I deleted everything. You will see how platforms hook creators and audiences, how algorithms reward addiction and punish authenticity, and how chasing numbers never fills the emptiness inside. You will see the trap that turns dreamers into slaves to attention, and the wake-up call that made me walk away. I reveal how screens reshaped my family, how I justified my own addiction as work, and what it felt like to realize I was no different from my kids. You will read about wild highs (a $90,000 month) and brutal lows (burnout, bankruptcy, public humiliation), and how each crash became a new beginning until I finally saw through the illusion. This book is my confession, my warning, and my gift. If you dream of going viral, being a creator, or quitting your job to chase freedom online, I want you to know what it is really like. If you spend hours scrolling, I want you to see what you are giving up. By the end, you will understand why I deleted the channels, the followers, and the income—and why that was the best decision of my life. I found peace not by becoming more successful online, but by becoming human again. Are you ready to see what Internet fame really feels like—the truth behind the dream, the cost of the clicks, and the freedom that waits when you finally log off?
