  Dermatology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin diseases, conditions, and cosmetic issues. The skin, being the largest organ in the human body, plays a crucial role in protecting internal organs from external threats such as pathogens, chemicals, and UV radiation. It also regulates temperature, facilitates sensation, and contributes to overall health. Given its numerous functions, the importance of dermatology in healthcare cannot be overstated. 
  As a visible organ, the skin often reflects a person’s internal health. Changes in skin appearance or texture can indicate underlying medical conditions, such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, dermatology is not only concerned with treating skin-specific ailments but also with identifying and addressing broader health issues. For instance, many systemic diseases, such as lupus or diabetes, manifest with skin symptoms, which dermatologists are trained to recognize and interpret. 
  In addition to its diagnostic capabilities, dermatology is vital for managing a wide range of common skin conditions, some of which can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Disorders such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis are prevalent, with millions of people worldwide affected by these conditions. These disorders often have both physical and psychological effects, as they can cause discomfort, scarring, and social stigma. Dermatologists are skilled in offering both medical treatments and cosmetic procedures to help individuals manage these conditions effectively.

  Gulp - Adventures on the...

  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.

  Humans have long ruled the natural world, bending it to our will and desires. But all actions have consequences, and we’ve only just begun to see the destruction our actions have caused on our planet. 
  In A Life on Our Planet, David Attenborough discusses how we as a species arrived at this crucial juncture in our planet’s history, and what we must do in order to return it to balance. The most important step is increasing our planet’s biodiversity. With more species of plants and animals, that means more food sources for both animals and humans, better carbon intake, and an overall better functioning ecosystem. 
  With climate change, species going extinct, and an ever-increasing population, we are seeing the signs that Earth is at its tipping point. We must act now and begin to return Earth to its natural state, or potentially lose it forever.

  What makes the human mind so unique? And how did we get this way? 
   
   
   
  This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us what we are—and will change how you think about our future. 
   
   
   
  Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think, Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. 
   
    
    
  Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future. 
   
   
    
  Thoughtful and witty, this must-listen book unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts. A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, listeners will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself.
