Sinopsis

Safe Radiation Limits explores the complex issue of radiation exposure and the effectiveness of current safety guidelines in safeguarding public health. It examines whether existing "safe" radiation levels adequately protect everyone, particularly vulnerable populations, from long-term, low-dose exposures. One intriguing aspect discussed is how radiation interacts with living tissue, potentially leading to both immediate and long-term health issues, including cancer. The book also highlights the historical development of radiation safety standards, shaped by scientific discoveries, regulatory decisions, and ethical considerations.

 
The book uniquely analyzes radiation safety by exploring the science behind radiation's biological effects, tracing the evolution of safety standards, and examining real-world applications across medicine, industry, and environmental regulation. It critically assesses existing risk assessment models and proposes alternative approaches. Beginning with the basic principles of radiation physics and biology, it then delves into specific areas of concern, such as medical imaging risks, occupational exposure in nuclear industries, and the consequences of nuclear accidents, ultimately proposing a framework for a more comprehensive approach to radiation safety.

 
Safe Radiation Limits emphasizes the need for ongoing research, public education, and proactive risk management. It aims to stimulate a more informed discussion about radiation risks, considering topics like the linear no-threshold (LNT) model of cancer risk and the safety standards for children and pregnant women. The book will be invaluable to public health professionals, environmental scientists, policymakers, and anyone wanting a deeper understanding of radiation exposure.

Our Western spring - Where is...

Nir Shvalb

"Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.

The First History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
The First History of Man uses infection in general—bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites, epidemics & pandemics, COVID-19—to lay the foundation for the next five books, narratives and stories that delve deeper into human infectious diseases. This first volume jumps off into accounts of the Big Bang Theory—the real one, but also the sitcom—the origin of the Universe, from atoms to DNA to us and how exactly it happened. In our journey we’ll explore Einstein and Newton who were probably aliens (he said jokingly), the Roman Empire, British history and all those wives of King Henry VIII, the why and how of the Protestant Reformation, why Pluto lost its planet status in our solar system, what exactly is the sweet spot of a solar system, all the while digging up some archeology, and even paying a visit with Dr. Livingstone, I presume. We’ll trudge from the top of Everest, the highest point on Earth, to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the lowest point on Earth, and LUA in between, the Last Universal Ancestor that gave rise to all life on Earth.
