Sinopse

In "In Northern Mists (Vol. 1&2)," Fridtjof Nansen artfully weaves together rich narratives from his explorations and the folklore of the Arctic regions, presenting a fascinating blend of travelogue and insightful cultural study. Nansen employs a lyrical yet precise style, immersing readers in the hauntingly beautiful landscapes and harsh realities of northern territories. This two-volume work reflects not only on the physical journey through the icy realms but also on the indigenous cultures and their histories, effectively situating his explorations within the broader context of late 19th-century European expeditions and scientific inquiry into uncharted territories. Fridtjof Nansen was a pioneering Norwegian explorer, scientist, and humanitarian, driven by a profound curiosity for the unknown and a deep respect for the indigenous peoples he encountered. His extensive experience in polar exploration and his scholarly pursuits in zoology and anthropology provided him with a unique lens through which to explore and document the northern mists, both metaphorically and literally. Nansen's personal convictions and scientific background strongly influenced his narrative style and thematic choices in this monumental work. Nansen's "In Northern Mists" is a compelling read for those interested in exploration literature, anthropology, and Nordic history. His vivid descriptions and empathetic portrayal of Arctic life are not only informative but also evocative, inviting readers to contemplate the beauty and resilience of these northern landscapes and cultures. This work is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the interplay between human experience and the natural world.

    Koalas regularly appeared in Australian biologist Danielle Clode's backyard, but it was only when a bushfire threatened that she truly paid them attention. 
     
     
     
    In vivid, descriptive prose, Clode embarks on a delightful and surprising journey through evolutionary biology, natural history, and ecology to understand where these enigmatic animals came from and what their future may hold. She begins her search with the fossils of ancient giant koalas, delving into why the modern koala has become the lone survivor of a once-diverse family of uniquely Australian marsupials. 
     
     
     
    Koala investigates the remarkable physiology of these charismatic creatures. Clode explores the complex relationship and unexpected connections between this endearing species and humans. She explains how koalas are simultaneously threatened with extinction in some areas due to disease, climate change, and increasing wildfires, while overpopulating forests in other parts of the country. 
     
     
     
    Deeply researched and filled with wonder, Koala is both a tender and inquisitive paean to a species unlike any other and a call to ensure its survival.

    Physicians lead. It’s an integral part of what they do. They lead patients, they lead healthcare teams, they lead colleagues, departments, and organizations. But most doctors receive very little training in leadership.Leon E. Moores, MD, DSc, FACS is a neurosurgeon and seasoned healthcare leader who literally “wrote the book” on physician leadership for the U.S. Army. A West Point graduate, Moores became an officer and a surgeon in the Army and recognized how the lack of formal leadership training for doctors impacts physician effectiveness, team performance, and patient outcomes. Along with a team of highly accomplished colleagues, he created the physician leadership development program that has been widely referenced by the U.S. military. Moores now shares that leadership wisdom, and the lessons he has learned through decades of healthcare organization leadership, with physicians everywhere and with all readers passionate about improving healthcare.

    Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.
