Sinopsis

Are you unknowingly consuming toxins with every meal? Heavy Metals in Food sheds light on the concerning presence of mercury, lead, and arsenic in our everyday foods. Industrial pollution and historical practices have led to contamination, with mercury in seafood impacting nervous system development, lead affecting cognitive function and cardiovascular health, and arsenic in crops like rice potentially causing carcinogenic effects. Understanding these risks is crucial for making informed dietary choices and promoting health fitness.

 
The book explores these contaminants, starting with the basics of heavy metal toxicity and their effects on the body. It pinpoints common food sources like seafood and rice, known to harbor these metals, and delves into the health consequences of long-term exposure, using scientific studies to back its claims.

 
Ultimately, the book provides practical strategies for reducing your exposure, including dietary changes and advocating for stricter food safety.

Human Spaceflight - From Mars to...

Louis Friedman

Mars, a mysterious dust-ridden place, is most like Earth in its climate and seasons. Of all the possible destinations in space to travel, Mars is the most likely for humans to reach. According to esteemed scientist Louis Friedman, it may be the only destination outside the moon to ever see human footprints. 
 
 
 
Far from diminishing our future in space, Human Spaceflight lays out a provocative future for human space travel. The noted aerospace engineer and scientist says that human space exploration will continue well into the future, but space travel by humans will stop at Mars. Instead, nanotechnology, space sails, robotics, biomolecular engineering, and artificial intelligence will provide the vehicles of the future for an exciting evolution not just of space travel but of humankind. 
 
 
 
Friedman has worked with agencies around the globe on space exploration projects to extend human presence beyond Mars and beyond the solar system. He writes that once we accept Mars as the only viable destination for humans, our space program on planet Earth can become more exciting and more relevant. Mars, he writes, will take hundreds, even thousands, of years to settle. During that time, humans and all our supporting technologies will evolve, allowing our minds to be present throughout the universe while our bodies stay home on Earth and Mars.

Decentralized Computing - The...

Saimon Carrie

"Decentralized Computing: The Evolution of Power and Possibility" explores the transformative impact of blockchain and decentralized technologies on our world today and in the future. From revolutionizing finance and governance to empowering individuals and communities, decentralized computing represents a paradigm shift in how we interact, transact, and govern.
In this insightful exploration, we delve into the foundational principles of decentralization, tracing its evolution from the creation of Bitcoin to the emergence of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) on platforms like Ethereum. We uncover how these technologies have democratized access to financial services through decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling peer-to-peer transactions, lending, and investing without intermediaries.
Moreover, the book examines how decentralized networks are reshaping governance models, with innovations like Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) enabling transparent decision-making and community-driven initiatives. We explore the potential of blockchain to enhance data privacy and digital autonomy through self-sovereign identity solutions and decentralized storage systems, empowering individuals to control their personal information securely.
"Decentralized Computing" also addresses the challenges and opportunities inherent in this technological revolution. It navigates regulatory landscapes, security considerations, and scalability issues while advocating for ethical and responsible innovation. The book underscores the potential of decentralized computing to drive sustainable development, promote environmental stewardship, and foster inclusive economic growth.
Join us on a journey into the decentralized future, where power shifts from centralized authorities to empowered communities, and possibilities for innovation and equitable progress abound.

Living the Technology Revolution...

Martin K. Ettington

This isn't a book filled with dry timelines or technical blueprints of the digital revolution. Instead, it's a firsthand journey—my journey—through one of the most astonishing transformations in human history: the rise of personal computing and the dawn of the digital age.
I was born in November 1955, at a time when the word “computer” was barely whispered outside of military labs and universities. My earliest memories include a bulky black-and-white television with rabbit-ear antennas, broadcasting a single channel. That flickering screen was my first encounter with electronic media—a far cry from the high-definition, touch-responsive world we live in now.
Over the decades, my path as an engineer and software developer placed me squarely in the midst of this technological upheaval. I didn’t just watch the future arrive—I helped build it, one line of code and one innovation at a time.
This book is a personal time capsule—a chronicle of what it was really like to live through the shift from analog to digital, from typewriters to tablets, from rotary phones to the infinite power in our pockets today. If you're a younger reader curious about how we got here, or someone who remembers the glow of vacuum tubes and the clack of punch cards, I invite you to walk with me through the decades.
You may be surprised by how far we’ve come—and how much we’ve forgotten along the way.
Many of the chapters are identified with the years or periods of time where these changes occurred.
