  Rare Earth Elements & Critical...

  A 36‑lecture audio course on the materials that run the modern world—from ore bodies and brines to magnets, batteries, chips, and reactors. Each lecture focuses on one element or mineral, tracing its journey from deposit geology through beneficiation and refining to the devices it powers. 
  We make the flowsheet legible: comminution and flotation; roasting, high‑pressure acid leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange; separation to oxides and metals; alloying and specialty powders. See how neodymium‑iron‑boron magnets are born, why lithium hexafluorophosphate matters in electrolytes, where gallium nitride wins in power, how graphite anodes evolve with silicon, and how the uranium fuel cycle and vanadium flow batteries actually work. 
  Markets and politics are treated as engineering constraints. Learn to spot yield killers, read offtake agreements, and separate strategic scarcity from narrative. Test real substitutions—ferrites in small motors, sodium‑ion for short‑range storage, gallium nitride versus silicon carbide—and where performance cliffs block redesign. We map chokepoints beyond the mine: separation capacity, reagents, waste handling, water and energy intensity, and manufacturer qualification cycles. Then we follow the consequences—export controls and quotas, permitting and community consent, tariffs and friend‑shoring, standards and labeling rules. 
  Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the science, supply chains, and statecraft of a materials‑constrained century.

  A riveting exposé of medical debt collection in America—and the profound financial and physical costs eroding patient trust in medicine 
   
   
   
  For the crime of falling sick without wealth, Americans today face lawsuits, wage garnishment, home foreclosure, and even jail time. 
   
   
   
  Yet who really profits from aggressive medical debt collection? And how does this predatory system affect patients and doctors responsible for their care? 
   
   
   
  Your Money or Your Life reveals how medical debt collection became a multi-billion-dollar industry and how everyday Americans are made to pay the price. Emergency physician and historian Luke Messac weaves patient stories into a history of law, finance, and medicine to show how debt and debt collection are destroying the foundational trust between doctors and patients at the heart of American healthcare. The fight to stop aggressive collection tactics has brought together people from all corners of the political spectrum. But if we want to better protect the sick from financial ruin, we have to understand how we got here. 
   
   
   
  With wit and clarity, Your Money or Your Life asks us all to rethink the purpose of our modern healthcare system and consider whom it truly serves.

  Strata - Stories from Deep Time

  Laura Poppick

  The epic stories of our planet's 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata―ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors, desert dunes, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. In this brilliantly original debut work, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of "Snowball Earth"; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs' reign on a hothouse planet 
  Poppick introduces us to the researchers who have devoted their careers to understanding the events of deep time. She travels to sites as various as a Minnesotan iron mine that runs half a mile deep and a corner of the Australian Outback where glacial deposits date from the coldest times on Earth. Ultimately, she demonstrates that the planet's oceans, continents, atmosphere, life, and ice have always conspired to bring stability to Earth, even if we are only just beginning to understand how these different facets interact. 
  A work in the tradition of John McPhee, Strata allows us to observe how the planet has responded to past periods of environmental upheaval, and shows how Earth's ancient narratives could hold lessons for our present and future.

  On IVF

  In vitro fertilization (IVF)—the conceiving of new human beings in a laboratory—has become a widespread and international industry affecting millions upon millions of people. By some estimates, over eight million children in the US have been born as a result of this technology since 1978. But is it ethical to create human beings by science and not by sex? Is IVF inherently good or inherently evil? Or, perhaps, is it something that is sometimes right and other times wrong, depending on the circumstances? In this timely volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Looking at the morality of IVF and the stories of people who have either embraced or refused it, On IVF will draw readers into the profound suffering of infertility and miscarriage, the difficulties and dangers of IVF, and the hope-filled alternatives that honor the dignity of human beings—both born and preborn.

  Tech Giants - The Companies...

  In just a few decades, a handful of tech companies have grown from humble beginnings into the most powerful corporations in the world. These tech giants—such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta—didn’t just ride the wave of technological advancement; they created it. Their influence now extends far beyond the digital world, reshaping industries, economies, and even the way we live our everyday lives. 
  The journey began in garages and dorm rooms, where innovative minds dreamed big. Apple started in a California garage, Google in a Stanford dorm, and Amazon as an online bookstore. What these companies shared was a willingness to challenge existing norms and reimagine how technology could serve people. Their founders—visionaries like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg—helped pioneer bold ideas and new ways of thinking that forever changed the tech landscape.  
  Key moments in tech history marked pivotal shifts. The launch of the iPhone in 2007 revolutionized the way we interact with technology, putting the power of computing into our pockets. Google’s search engine transformed the internet into an organized, navigable space. Amazon redefined convenience with fast, efficient online shopping and then changed the game again with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leader in cloud computing. Microsoft, once synonymous with desktop computing, adapted to lead in software, enterprise services, and gaming. Meta, originally Facebook, reshaped how we connect and share online.
