Summary

“The Pressure Point” explores the pervasive influence of pressure, a fundamental physics concept, across various scientific disciplines. It examines how pressure dictates the behavior of matter and drives geological processes. The book begins by establishing the physics of pressure, reviewing concepts like Pascal's Law and the ideal gas law. It then progresses to explore pressure's influence in environments like the deep sea and its manipulation in industrial processes for material synthesis. The book's approach is structured, building from fundamental principles to complex applications, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of pressure research. For example, the immense pressure in the deep sea shapes unique ecosystems, while high-pressure techniques probe matter at an atomic level. “The Pressure Point” showcases how understanding pressure is vital for scientific advancement and innovative technologies. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of pressure and its real-world applications, presenting experimental data, theoretical models, and case studies. It explains how high-pressure research informs our understanding of planetary interiors and the formation of new elements. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in science and technology.

    The Nature Book

    Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. 
     
     
     
    What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Our teeth should last a lifetime. For many Americans this is not the case despite the world's best technology and treatment. Most dentists emphasize treatment over prevention. Daily oral hygiene is talked about but not taught to dental students or patients. Something is very wrong when regular patients with common gingivitis are referred to a periodontal specialist. It is time for dentists, patients and policy makers to be given an insider's look on the importance of oral hygiene habits and its effect on your dental and general health. 
    A folksy and engaging testimony to a great man and the dental profession to which he has devoted his life. Dr. Saroyan has weaved a story of his own experiences in dentistry with the basics of a dental education for the layperson emphasizing common sense prevention. As an advocate for optimum oral health, Dr. Saroyan looks at the controversies surrounding fluoridation and offers suggestions for a compromise. His insights into and opinions of dentistry and dental profession politics are deep and positions are always taken with the public’s health in mind. A great read for those who are in the profession and those who are interested in what goes on in their mouths. 
    This book is worthwhile reading for dental patients, aspiring dental students, and dental professionals. Doctor Saroyan is an exemplar of continued lifelong learning through serving the faculty of a dental school with his emphasis on prevention. Dr. Saroyan pulls no punches by revealing his frank and strong opinions in which dental public health can be improved by professional organized efforts.

    Water Harvesting 101 introduces you to: 
    Passive Water Harvesting: This is the act of sculpting your land with basins, berms, and drainage swales. The goal? To channel rainwater toward plants and away from structures – like your house. Passive water-harvesting earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation connected to municipal water systems. In arid regions, that spells substantial cost savings. 
    Active Water Harvesting: Want fresh garden produce when it’s 105 degrees out? And it hasn’t rained in six weeks? At my place, the 1,500-gallon rainwater harvesting cistern makes year ‘round gardening possible. And, on wash day, I don’t let the wastewater go down the drain. Instead, I use a greywater harvesting system that effortlessly diverts that wastewater from the laundry to my four fruit trees.
