Astrobiology - Exploring Life...

Mike Crawford

Astrobiology is the scientific study of life in the universe. It seeks to answer profound questions about the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life beyond Earth. As a highly interdisciplinary field, astrobiology combines biology, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and planetary science to explore the potential for life on other planets and moons. This field is not merely about searching for intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations but also about understanding the fundamental processes that make life possible and where these conditions might exist beyond Earth.
One of the primary goals of astrobiology is to investigate the origins of life. Scientists study early Earth environments to understand how life first emerged, using this knowledge to determine where similar conditions might exist elsewhere in the cosmos. The discovery of extremophiles—organisms that thrive in extreme environments such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents, acidic lakes, and polar ice caps—has expanded the understanding of life’s resilience. If life can persist in such harsh conditions on Earth, it raises the possibility that microbial life may exist on planets or moons with extreme environments, such as Mars, Europa, or Enceladus.
Astrobiologists also examine the habitability of other planets by identifying key factors necessary for life. The presence of liquid water, an energy source, and essential chemical elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are considered fundamental prerequisites for life as we know it. The concept of the "habitable zone"—the region around a star where conditions might allow liquid water to exist—has become central to the search for exoplanets that could support life. Recent discoveries of thousands of exoplanets, some of which are Earth-like, have fueled optimism about finding life beyond our solar system.

How to Make a Killing - Blood...

Tom Mueller

Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
 
 
 
With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
 
 
 
How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.

The Museum of the Wood Age

Max Adams

A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. 
As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.
