Beschreibung

In 'Farthest North,' renowned explorer and scientist Fridtjof Nansen invites readers on an exhilarating journey through the Arctic landscape, blending meticulous exploration with vivid narrative style. The book chronicles Nansen's audacious attempt to chart the Arctic regions, emphasizing both the physical adversity faced during the expedition and the profound internal reflections that accompany such extreme endeavors. Written in a time when exploration was both a scientific pursuit and a quest for national prestige, Nansen's work stands as a testament to human resilience, capturing the beauty and brutality of one of the planet's most forbidding frontiers. Fridtjof Nansen, a polymath who excelled as a scientist, diplomat, and humanitarian, was deeply influenced by his academic background in zoology and his passion for icebound exploration. His earlier achievements, including the development of pioneering techniques in oceanography, laid the groundwork for this ambitious Arctic venture. Nansen's unique combination of scholarly inquiry and adventurous spirit thus informs 'Farthest North,' illuminating the interconnection between scientific knowledge and human experience in uncharted territories. This compelling narrative is essential reading for enthusiasts of adventure, science, and the Arctic. Nansen's eloquent prose not only enthralls but also educates, making the complexities of exploration accessible to readers. 'Farthest North' is a vital contribution to the genre of exploration literature and remains an enduring inspiration for those who yearn to push the boundaries of our understanding.

    WITH A FOREWORD BY SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE A renowned cardiologist and Harvard professor spells out the future digital shift of medicine — and how it will impact the lives not only of patients and health care professionals but of all humans. Future care is virtual care: sensor-aided, digitally enabled, and powered by predictive analytics. Like most facets of modern life, human organs, too, are being digitally monitored. Sensors are well on their way to helping us proactively capture the information needed to predict and prevent disease. Paired with the medical world’s growing emphasis on wellness and prevention, the digital revolution will help us effectively monitor and address the chronic diseases that have been the Achilles’ heel of the health care system to date. This large-scale transition is not only going to reshape the patient-physician relationship but also dramatically change how hospitals and the business of medicine operate. Dr. Singh explores the upswell of virtual care, the evolving role of sensors, and the impact of artificial intelligence in medicine and health care through cutting-edge science, big idea projections, and patient stories. Using anecdotes from his own COVID-19 illness and medical practice, Dr. Singh shows that the success of the digital revolution in medicine is dependent on our ability to understand and adapt to this changing landscape. Future Care provides fascinating insights into how health care can become sensible, affordable, and practical and why everyone needs to become a part of the solution. It is an important and timely contribution to the ongoing and increasingly urgent conversation about medicine, technology, and health care.
