  In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

  The first biography of a pioneering scientist who made significant contributions to our understanding of dark matter and championed the advancement of women in science. 
   
   
   
  In Vera Rubin: A Life, prolific science writers Jacqueline Mitton and Simon Mitton provide a detailed, accessible overview of Rubin's work, showing how she leveraged immense curiosity, profound intelligence, and novel technologies to help transform our understanding of the cosmos. But Rubin's impact was not limited to her contributions to scientific knowledge. She also helped to transform scientific practice by promoting the careers of women researchers. Not content to be an inspiration, Rubin was a mentor and a champion. She advocated for hiring women faculty, inviting women speakers to major conferences, and honoring women with awards that were historically the exclusive province of men. 
   
   
   
  Rubin's papers and correspondence yield vivid insights into her life and work, as she faced down gender discrimination and met the demands of family and research throughout a long and influential career. Deftly written, with both scientific experts and general readers in mind, Vera Rubin is a portrait of a woman with insatiable curiosity about the universe who never stopped asking questions and encouraging other women to do the same.

  Python for Beginners -...

  Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
  This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
  By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
  Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
  Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.
