  Who Owns The Moon? - In Defence...

  Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles. 
   
  The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole? 
   
  From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ – the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.

  In recent years, the concept of smart cities has gained significant attention as urban areas face unprecedented growth and the challenges that come with it. As populations swell and technological advancements accelerate, cities around the world are exploring ways to harness the power of innovation to improve the quality of life for their residents. Smart cities represent a dynamic transformation where technology is seamlessly integrated into urban infrastructure, services, and governance. These cities use data, sensors, and interconnected systems to optimize functions such as traffic flow, energy consumption, healthcare, and public safety, creating more efficient, sustainable, and livable urban environments. 
  The rise of smart cities is driven by the need to address a host of urban issues that have become increasingly difficult to manage through traditional methods. Rapid urbanization has strained resources, from transportation networks to healthcare services, resulting in overcrowded cities and stretched public services. At the same time, the digital revolution has made it possible to rethink how cities are designed and operated, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation. In smart cities, data is collected from a vast array of sensors and devices embedded throughout the urban landscape, enabling real-time monitoring and management of everything from traffic congestion to energy use. 
  The development of smart cities is also closely tied to sustainability. With growing concerns about climate change and the depletion of natural resources, urban planners are turning to smart technologies to reduce environmental impact. For instance, energy-efficient buildings, waste management systems, and smart grids can significantly lower a city's carbon footprint. Moreover, renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are increasingly being integrated into urban infrastructure, creating more sustainable energy systems.

  Starved for Light - The Long...

  A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
   
  
  Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.

  This book contains two topics, which are the following:1 - Memory Improvement: The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action.Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned.2 - The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields.Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome." All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity.
