  When it comes to keeping your brain in tip-top shape, you aren't limited to crossword puzzles, brain games, and Sudoku. The keys to keeping your mind sharp are already in your hands: eleven simple but powerful lifestyle factors often have a greater impact on our health than our genetics. 
   
   
   
  In The Age-Proof Brain, scientist and popular speaker Dr. Marc Milstein shares "complex science in simple (and often humorous) examples, case histories, and 'how-to' guidelines that are guaranteed to change your life" (Dr. James B. Mass). This book reveals the secrets to improving brain function, which lie in the brain's surprising connection with the rest of the body. 
   
    
   
  Debunking common misinformation, The Age-Proof Brain offers new, breakthrough science-supported strategies to improve memory and productivity; increase energy and boost your mood; reduce the risk of anxiety and depression; form healthy habits to supercharge your brain; and prevent non-genetic Alzheimer's and dementia. Dr. Milstein also arms you with knowledge about common and often overlooked issues that prematurely age the brain (including the surprising truth about what doctors previously got wrong about Alzheimer's and dementia), and shares a seven-day challenge to help you jumpstart new brain-healthy habits.

  Who should read this book? Someone on their way out the door for their first or an early career health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM) experience, regardless of role, or someone who is trying to support one who is, or who does it all of the time and wants to know that they are not alone 
  What does this book tell the reader? It provides the shock of jumping into the cold water of health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM), without the risk of drowning; it focuses on practical aspects of the experience of doing the work that guidelines and playbooks (as important as they are) do not address 
  Who else might be interested in this book? People keen to understand how HEDRM happens in the context of highly communicable diseases, or about how global public health, emergencies, aid, and development mix, or medical history... the technical and contextual curious 
  Who should NOT read this book? Anyone who is looking for gory details 
  What is the main strength of this book? It is a raw view of the experience of conducting such responses at the clinical: public health interface, with some lessons durable across emergencies 
  What is the main weakness of this book? It carries all of the biases of such experiences. There is a lot not said; the book has snapshots and cannot relate the 10,000,000 events during the year not described 
  What is new in the 2024 edition? In print and e-book, overdue editing without loss of content, a forward that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of themes in the book, and in the print edition available on www.amazon.com, a series of essays stepping back and exploring the ways in which people interact with the threat of infectious diseases that defines our willingness and readiness to meet them

  The Ethics of Technology - Moral...

  In an age where technology permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, understanding the ethical foundations behind its development and use has never been more critical. Tech ethics, at its core, explores the moral principles that guide our decisions regarding the design, implementation, and impact of technology. As digital tools become increasingly powerful and integrated into society, they bring with them profound questions about responsibility, fairness, and the human consequences of innovation. 
  The roots of technology ethics can be traced back to classical moral philosophy. Thinkers like Aristotle, Kant, and Mill laid the groundwork for how we approach right and wrong, justice, and duty. These age-old theories—virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism—are still highly relevant in today's tech-driven world. For instance, when we ask whether a self-driving car should prioritize the life of a passenger over a pedestrian, we are invoking these very moral frameworks to guide the decision-making process. In this way, ethical theory provides a lens through which we can evaluate the choices we make as developers, users, and regulators of technology. 
  Modern concerns surrounding tech ethics often revolve around issues that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Digital privacy, algorithmic bias, and autonomous systems challenge us to reinterpret traditional moral values in new contexts. This requires a dynamic understanding of ethics—one that can evolve alongside technological change. Unlike in the past, where tools were relatively neutral and required human operation, today's technologies often act with a degree of independence, raising the stakes of their ethical implications. Machines that learn, adapt, and decide are not just tools; they become agents of action whose behavior must be morally accountable.
