  Eric Topol’s Deep Medicine (2019) explores the power of harnessing data and its potential for the practice of medicine. Despite major medical advances in the past few decades, doctors today still fail their patients, but the ongoing revolution in artificial intelligence will bring about fundamental shifts in healthcare. With their unlimited capacity to store data and learn, deep learning and AI will provide assistance to doctors and patients and add precision to diagnoses and treatments. When machines perform many small but crucial tasks, doctors will have more time for the human side of medicine.

  Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories daily without gaining weight. 
  If you had the metabolism of a shrew you could. And while most of us can't hold our breath for more than a few minutes, the Weddell seal can remain under water for a full 75 minutes! 
  Through many amazing examples, Why Geese Don't Get Obese discusses the mechanisms humans and other creatures have evolved to gauge their need for food; gather water and oxygen; circulate blood; regulate body temperature; respond to stressful situations; and maintain other survival needs. 
  Peppy prose and just the right amount of detail make this audio-book a delight and a fitting ode to the remarkable resilience of nature!

  Upon completing his historic work on the Human Genome Project, J. Craig Venter declared that he would sequence the genetic code of all life on earth. Thus began a fifteen-year quest to collect DNA from the world's oldest and most abundant form of life: microbes. Boarding the Sorcerer II, a 100-foot sailboat turned research vessel, Venter traveled over 65,000 miles around the globe to sample ocean water and the microscopic life within. 
   
   
   
  In The Voyage of Sorcerer II, Venter and science writer David Ewing Duncan tell the remarkable story of these expeditions and of the momentous discoveries that ensued—of plant-like bacteria that get their energy from the sun, proteins that metabolize vast amounts of hydrogen, and microbes whose genes shield them from ultraviolet light. The result was a massive library of millions of unknown genes, thousands of unseen protein families, and new lineages of bacteria that revealed the unimaginable complexity of life on earth. Yet despite this exquisite diversity, Venter encountered sobering reminders of how human activity is disturbing the delicate microbial ecosystem that nurtures life on earth. In the face of unprecedented climate change, Venter and Duncan show how we can harness the microbial genome to develop alternative sources of energy, food, and medicine that might ultimately avert our destruction.

  Condensed Matter Physics -...

  Condensed matter physics is a fundamental branch of physics that explores the physical properties of solid and liquid states of matter. It seeks to understand how the collective behavior of a large number of atoms and electrons gives rise to the diverse physical properties observed in materials. This field not only provides insight into the fundamental principles governing matter but also drives technological advancements in electronics, nanotechnology, and quantum computing. 
  Historically, condensed matter physics evolved from solid-state physics, which primarily focused on crystalline solids and their electronic properties. The development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century revolutionized the field, leading to an in-depth understanding of electronic band structures and the behavior of semiconductors. With time, the study expanded to include a broader range of materials, including amorphous solids, polymers, superconductors, and complex fluids. Today, condensed matter physics plays a crucial role in material science, engineering, and applied physics, shaping modern technological advancements. 
  One of the key aspects of condensed matter physics is the study of crystal structures and atomic interactions. The arrangement of atoms in a solid determines its electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties. Crystals are defined by periodic arrangements of atoms, forming lattice structures that can be analyzed using mathematical tools like the reciprocal lattice and Brillouin zones. In contrast, amorphous materials, such as glass, lack long-range order but still exhibit unique physical properties. The bonding mechanisms in solids—ionic, covalent, metallic, and van der Waals interactions—play a crucial role in determining the stability and functionality of materials.

  Winner of the 2015 New Welsh Writing Awards: WWF Cymru Prize for Writing on Nature and the Environment
  Shortlisted for the 2016 Wales Book of the Year: The Open University in Wales Creative Non-Fiction Award
  'Eluned Gramich has written the perfect essay - a minutely detailed yet nuanced evocation of place and personalities that is full of ecologically precise imagery and is as attentive to the Japanese language as it is to Hokkaidan landscape.' – Mark Cocker
  As precise and nuanced as Japanese calligraphy, this memoir of the author's stay on the remote Hokkaido island in the far north of Japan, has at its heart the mountain, Yotei-san, the region's iconic equivalent to Mount Fuji. As much about learning a language (with connotations of 'reading' a wild landscape) as it is about nature, this dignified and nuanced work evokes what is cultured and cultivated, and yet also honours the wild; the untranslatable. With its themes of seasonal transformation, the peripheral, folklore, loneliness and learning to belong, this work takes a personal philosophical stance in relation to the centre and the periphery.
  '"Eluned Gramich" is a name to hear time and again in the future. [This writing] is as good as we the jurors have ever read... short but perfectly formed... absolutely perfect.' – Justin Albert
  'Quite beautiful. [The author encounters a culture that is completely alien] and she does it with a poet's eye... precisely and vitally. She reads this unfamiliarity with all her imaginative nerve-endings open: the effect is quite remarkable...' – Tony Brown
  'Most rewarding is the philosophical approach... [Gramich's] embracing of... cultural multiplicity, fluidity and adaptability... suits perfectly the changing boundaries of our modern world.' – Wales Arts Review
