  Lightweight, compact, distinctively styled, and now, electric: The Brompton isn't the only folding bicycle—or even the first. But everyone who has been on one will enthusiastically testify to its marvelous design (virtually unchanged over decades) and the particular joy of riding it. 
   
   
   
  Will Butler-Adams, CEO of Brompton Bicycles, has been at the company for twenty years. Initially, he worked as an engineer for Andrew Ritchie, the bike's brilliant inventor and the business's founder, before taking the helm in 2008. Butler-Adams's heartfelt mission is to grow and promote sustainable urban transportation and to improve city-dwellers' lives everywhere. 
   
    
   
  Under his leadership, Brompton has grown from making a few hundred bikes a year to over 90,000, with revenue of $130 million. But progress hasn't always been easy: There have been boardroom struggles, supply-chain problems, and conflicts with founder Andrew Ritchie. In The Brompton, Butler-Adams brings to life what it means to grow a company to global scale. He also tells the stories of the people who make the Brompton and the people who ride it. And he explains how customers all around the world fell in love with a brand that never set out to be a brand.

  The First History of Man

  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.

  Hematology - Blood Disorders and...

  Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood disorders. It is a vital field of medicine as blood is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Hematology encompasses a range of topics, including the composition of blood, the process of blood formation, the various types of blood cells, and the disorders that affect the blood. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions such as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, bleeding disorders, and blood clotting issues. 
  The primary function of blood is to transport essential nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body. Blood also plays a key role in regulating temperature, maintaining pH balance, and defending the body against infections. Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, each having a unique function that is integral to overall health. Plasma is the liquid component, primarily made of water, proteins, and dissolved substances, and serves as the medium for carrying cells and other components. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and return carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. White blood cells are crucial for immune defense, protecting the body against pathogens, while platelets are involved in clotting to prevent excessive bleeding. 
  The study of hematology is essential because various blood disorders can lead to severe health complications. Disorders such as anemia can result from deficiencies in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms. Leukemia, a type of cancer affecting the white blood cells, and lymphoma, which affects the lymphatic system, are also common blood-related cancers that require specialized treatment.
