  The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
   
  "America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
   
  Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.

  Clinical Pathophysiology -...

  Clinical pathophysiology is a vital field of study that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying disease processes and how these mechanisms manifest in the body, leading to clinical symptoms and dysfunction. The ultimate goal of pathophysiology is to enhance the understanding of disease so that healthcare providers can make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies. 
  At its core, pathophysiology involves studying the alterations in normal physiological processes caused by disease. These alterations can be the result of a wide range of factors, including infection, genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. By examining how diseases develop and progress, pathophysiology helps clinicians recognize patterns of dysfunction and understand the underlying biological changes that drive these patterns. 
  The role of clinical pathophysiology is crucial in guiding patient care. In clinical practice, understanding the mechanisms of disease allows healthcare professionals to identify the root causes of symptoms, predict the course of diseases, and develop targeted treatment strategies. For example, a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases enables clinicians to prescribe the most effective interventions for managing conditions like heart failure or arrhythmias. Similarly, pathophysiology helps explain the progression of diseases such as diabetes or cancer, informing decisions on appropriate management and monitoring.

  Recently, I learned about General Artificial Intelligence and the implications it will have in our lives. The array of opinions crosses the full spectrum from the wonderful ways it will improve our lives to the fear it could unleash a ‘Self-Controlled Superintelligence’ that may not align itself with human social and ethical constructs. This subject is fast moving rocket and it is important that everyone understands some key terms when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Whether you know it or not, AI touches your lives today and in future, will increase exponentially as it exerts this massive influence in our lives. 
  In addition, being a student of Economics and Business, I always seek to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society. 
  Contained within is a small list of common terms in the areas of Economics, Business and Artificial Intelligence. Political terms are not included here but you will read some definitions of Economics that do have an overlap of political inferences. 
  I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics, business, and artificial intelligence. They all affect your lives more than you realize.
