  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.

  Peak of the Devil: 100 Questions...

  What’s that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about? 
  “Peak oil” is the phrase used to describe the point where the world’s oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It’s the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it’s all downhill, production-wise. 
  Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that’s not quite right. The oil will not run out. Not ever. It will, over time, get increasingly rare and probably expensive (before it’s worthless), but there will always be at least a little bit of oil for us to use. Well, for someone to use. Probably not you and me, unless I sell a whole shipload of books. No pressure.

  Owls have existed for over sixty million years, and in the relatively short time we have shared the planet with these majestic birds they have ignited the human imagination. But even as owls continue to captivate our collective consciousness, celebrated British nature writer Miriam Darlington finds herself struck by all she doesn't know about the true nature of these enigmatic creatures. 
   
   
   
  Darlington begins her fieldwork in the British Isles with her teenage son, Benji. As her avian fascination grows, she travels to France, Serbia, Spain, Finland, and the frosted Lapland borders of the Arctic for rare encounters with the barn owl, tawny owl, long-eared owl, pygmy owl, snowy owl, and more. But when her son develops a mysterious illness, her quest to understand the elusive nature of owls becomes entangled with her search for finding a cure. 
   
   
   
  In The Wise Hours, Darlington watches and listens to the natural world and to the rhythms of her home and family, inviting listeners to discover the wonders of owls alongside her while rewilding our imagination with the mystery, fragility, and magnificence of all creatures.

  Humans have used tools since our species arose hundreds of thousands of years ago. But our ability to send specialized tools, robotic spacecraft, into the heavens and leave our mark on the cosmos has spanned only the last 60 years. This book is a chronicle of our attempts to send these robotic travelers beyond Earth orbit, to the Moon, to other planets and their moons, to the Sun, to comets, to minor planets, to dwarf planets, and ultimately beyond the solar system. This remarkable international chronology goes from the early Cold War superpower competition to more recent and compelling scientific quests. From Sputnik to Cassini to Mars rovers and many more, this book is filled with many technical details and also stories of incredible hardships and successes of robotic space exploration.
