Sinossi

"Next-Gen Bricks" explores the revolutionary potential of sustainable building materials, focusing on bricks made from recycled materials and bio-integrated components. It highlights how these next-generation bricks can transform the construction industry, addressing environmental concerns like resource depletion and carbon emissions.

 
The book emphasizes the shift from traditional, energy-intensive brick-making to eco-friendly alternatives, demonstrating that sustainable construction is both environmentally responsible and economically viable. For instance, did you know that certain bio-bricks utilize bacteria to bind materials, creating durable building blocks? Also, many recycled bricks incorporate industrial byproducts and consumer waste, reducing landfill burden.

 
The book approaches the topic by first introducing the science behind these materials and then exploring their properties and real-world applications through case studies. It examines the material properties of these bricks, such as strength and thermal performance, comparing them to conventional bricks.

 
"Next-Gen Bricks" progresses from the science of innovative materials to policy changes and economic incentives needed for their widespread adoption, offering a roadmap for a sustainable future. This book stands out by providing a comprehensive look at the latest advancements, inspiring readers to embrace environmentally responsible practices in architecture and urban planning.

    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.

    Are we alone in the universe? It's a fundamental question for Earth-dwelling humankind. Are there other worlds like ours, out there somewhere? In Hidden in the Heavens, Jason Steffen, a former scientist on NASA's Kepler mission, describes how that mission searched for planets orbiting Sun-like stars—especially Earth-like planets circulating in Earth-like orbits. What the Kepler space telescope found, Steffen reports, contradicted centuries of theoretical and observational work and transformed our understanding of planets, planetary systems, and the stars they orbit. Kepler discovered thousands of planets orbiting distant stars—a bewildering variety of celestial bodies, including rocky planets being vaporized by the intense heat of their host star; super-Earths and sub-Neptunes; gas giants several times the size and mass of Jupiter; and planets orbiting in stellar systems that had only been imagined in science fiction. 
     
     
     
    Steffen offers a unique, inside account of the work of the Kepler science team (and the sometimes chaotic interactions among team members), mapping the progress of the mission from the launch of the rocket that carried Kepler into space to the revelations of the data that began to flow to the supercomputer back at NASA—evidence of strange new worlds unlike anything found in our own solar system.
