  Free-flowing rivers in the United States are an endangered species. With more than 500,000 dams in place, we've dammed and diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals, pushing many to the brink. Now a heartening new movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures and restore new life to rivers and the communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.In Undammed, environmental journalist Tara Lohan takes a clear-eyed look at the unexpected benefits of dam removal after centuries of dam-building. In helping to restore rivers, she argues, we're protecting our own communities by improving water quality, enhancing public safety, and boosting fish populations that feed people and restore rights for Native American Tribes. In Europe, where river barriers occur almost every half-mile, the US movement is spurring a rival effort to restore natural flow to rivers degraded by obstructions.Undammed is an inspirational look at our changing relationship with the natural world, showing the cascade of benefits that come when we no longer turn our backs on rivers. And in helping to restore rivers, we're helping ourselves.

  The Complete Guide to Pediatrics...

  Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dedicated to the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents, focusing on preventive care, early disease detection, and the management of both acute and chronic conditions. It encompasses a broad range of medical care, from routine check-ups and immunizations to diagnosing and treating infections, congenital disorders, and developmental delays. Unlike adult medicine, pediatrics requires a specialized approach due to the unique physiological, psychological, and developmental needs of children. Pediatricians play a crucial role in ensuring children grow and develop optimally by monitoring milestones, providing nutritional guidance, and educating parents on best health practices. They also work closely with families and caregivers to address emotional and behavioral concerns, helping to create a supportive environment for a child’s overall well-being.  
  The scope of pediatrics extends to various subspecialties, including neonatology, pediatric cardiology, and pediatric neurology, which focus on specific medical conditions that require advanced expertise. Child development is a fundamental aspect of pediatrics, as growth occurs in distinct stages, each marked by significant physical, cognitive, and emotional changes. Early intervention in cases of developmental delays, genetic conditions, or chronic diseases can greatly improve long-term health outcomes.  
  Preventive care is a key pillar of pediatric medicine, with an emphasis on immunizations, nutrition, and health education to reduce the risk of disease and promote healthy lifestyles from infancy through adolescence. Pediatricians not only treat illnesses but also advocate for child safety, mental health support, and public health initiatives aimed at reducing childhood morbidity and mortality.

  The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
  "My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
  "It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."

  In Galaxies, Or Graur offers a brief and fascinating overview of the history, physics, and astrophysical uses of galaxies. Starting with the history of the last two thousand years of galaxy studies, Graur discusses the types of galaxies we observe and the physics that drive them; the myths and physical structure of the Milky Way; how galaxies were used to discover and study the mysterious phenomena of dark matter and dark energy; and how scientists think galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang and evolved to their present forms. 
   
   
   
  Tracing galaxy studies back thousands of years ago to their beginnings, Graur describes their origin in Ptolemy's book Almagest, which was written in the first century CE. Almagest catalogued hundreds of stars and a few hazy cloud-like objects, one of which was the Andromeda galaxy. The listener will also encounter in this book well-known figures such as William Herschel, who, along with his sister Caroline, discovered hundreds of galaxies and lay the foundations for modern galaxy studies, as well as lesser-known astronomers, including tenth-century Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi. Galaxies concludes by showing listeners how they can get involved in galaxy studies themselves and do their part to fight the light pollution that today obscures the Milky Way and all but the brightest of stars.
