The Exquisite Machine - The New...

Ian Harding

Your heart is a miracle in motion, a marvel of construction unsurpassed by any human-made creation. It beats 100,000 times every day—if you were to live to 100, that would be more than 3 billion beats across your lifespan. Despite decades
of effort in labs all over the world, we have not yet been able to replicate the heart’s perfect engineering. But, as Sian Harding shows us in The Exquisite Machine, new scientific developments are opening up the mysteries of the heart.
And this explosion of new science—ultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced microscopy—has crucial, real-world consequences for health and well-being.

Harding—a world leader in cardiac research—explores the relation between the emotions and heart function, reporting that the heart not only responds to our emotions but creates them as well. The condition known as broken heart
syndrome, for example, is a real disorder that can follow bereavement or stress.

The Exquisite Machine describes the evolutionary forces that have shaped the heart’s response to damage, the astonishing rejuvenating power of stem cells, how we can avoid heart disease, and why it can be so hard to repair a damaged
heart. It tells the stories of patients who have had the devastating experiences of a heart attack, chaotic heart rhythms, or stress-induced acute heart failure. And it describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical
trials that will lead us to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.

Sustainable Botany -...

Jeron Iris

This book contains the following titles:
Botany - Botany, the scientific study of plants, forms the cornerstone of our understanding of the natural world and is crucial to numerous fields such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental science. Plants are integral to life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and raw materials. They play a fundamental role in the planet's ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance. By examining plants in-depth, botany reveals their structures, functions, and the intricate relationships they have with other living organisms. At its core, botany seeks to answer key questions about how plants grow, develop, reproduce, and adapt to their environments. This branch of biology explores a wide range of plant life, from the microscopic algae and fungi to towering trees and flowering plants. The study of plants extends beyond their mere anatomy and physiology; it also includes their evolutionary history, classification, and their interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.
Sustainability - Sustainability refers to the practice of maintaining processes and systems that support the well-being of both current and future generations. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, from ecology and economics to social equity, focusing on long-term balance and responsible use of resources. At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources.

Nuts and Bolts - Seven Small...

Roma Agrawal

A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
 
 
 
Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
 
 
 
From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.

Infinite Life - The...

Jules Howard

Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves. 
 
 
 
In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explains—with great passion, authority, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—why it's time to give eggs their moment in the spotlight: it is the eggs that can teach us new and surprising lessons about Earth's history, the trials of life, and the exceptional ways in which natural selection operates to propagate the survival of individual species. 
 
 
 
Infinite Life: The Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution, and Life on Earth, offers a wholly new perspective on the animal kingdom, and, indeed, life on Earth. By examining eggs from their earliest histories to the very latest fossilized discoveries—encompassing the myriad changes and mutations of eggs from the evolution of yolk, to the hard eggshells of lost dinosaurs, to the animals that have evolved to simultaneously give birth to eggs and live young—Howard reveals untold stories of great diversity and majesty to shed light on the huge impact that egg science has on our lives.
