  An acclaimed science writer tells the story of cosmic projectiles that may be on a collision course with our Earth. 
   
   
   
  The impact of an asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Could another giant cosmic missile soon be heading our way? In Target Earth, acclaimed Dutch astronomy writer Govert Schilling provides a full account of what we know, and need to know, about all the extraterrestrial matter constantly bombarding our planet—from microscopic dust particles and space debris to massive meteorites, comets, and asteroids. 
   
   
   
  Drawing upon the latest scientific discoveries, Schilling explores virtually every aspect of cosmic impacts—from small meteorites to devastating collisions, from the craters that marked our planet's surface to the impacts that left their mark on other celestial bodies, and from searches for near-miss lumps of rock to ways of protecting humanity from an assault from the cosmos. Along the way, he considers near misses in the past and the possibility of others in the future and ponders the positive side of these visitations from space: If our planet had not been the target of cosmic rubble from its very formation, life on Earth would likely never have gotten started.

  Biodiversity Conservation - A...

  Extinction is a natural process. In geological time there have been several periods of mass extinction. One of these periods is unfolding right now but all the evidence suggests that current extinction rates are between a hundred and a thousand times greater than the background rate. To put this in to context, a quarter of all known mammalian species is at risk. The current extinction crisis is unique, because it is caused by the impact of one species, humans, on all others. This acceleration of species loss, and the much more widespread reductions in the populations of many species, is not merely a tragedy in aesthetics, it is also a threat to the quality of human life, indeed to the entire human enterprise. 
   
   
   
  Biodiversity, the diversity of life, is not only fascinating and beautiful, it is the engine of all the world's natural cycles, and the source of many of the resources on which humanity depends. Concern about biodiversity conservation is, therefore, not merely the preoccupation of a few enthusiastic naturalists—it is the lifeline business of everybody. 
   
   
   
  David Macdonald introduces the concept of biodiversity and the basic biological processes that it involves—evolutionary, ecological, and behavioral. He considers the various threats to biodiversity, their impacts, and some of the solutions to the problems.

  How to Hack Your Vagus Nerve -...

  The vagus nerve is the most important nerve you probably didn’t know you had. 
  The vagus nerve is a long meandering bundle of motor and sensory fibers that links the brain stem to the heart, lungs, and gut. It also branches out to touch and interact with the liver, spleen, gallbladder, ureter, female fertility organs, neck, ears, tongue, and kidneys. 
  Dr Justin Hoffman, a Santa Rosa, California, licensed naturopathic medical physician, says: 
  “Without the vagus nerve, key functions that keep us alive would not be maintained.” 
  Nationally recognized sports nutritionist, strength, and conditioning coach Brandon Mentore elaborates: 
  “The vagus nerve is extremely critical to your overall health and is intimately tied in with multiple organs and systems of the body.” 
  Vagus nerve dysfunction can result in a whole host of problems including obesity, bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat), difficulty swallowing, gastrointestinal diseases, fainting, mood disorders, B12 deficiency, chronic inflammation, impaired cough, and seizures. 
  Meanwhile, the vagus nerve stimulation has been shown to improve conditions such as: 
  - Anxiety disorder 
  - Heart disease 
  - Tinnitus 
  - Obesity 
  - Alcohol addiction 
  - Migraines 
  - Alzheimer’s 
  - Leaky gut 
  - Bad blood circulation 
  - Mood disorder 
  - CancerWhether you are feeling anxiety or depression, you can use tools to engage your social nervous system to re-establish higher order nervous system functions.

  🔹 "Sometimes the best man for the job is a WOMAN, and there is no such word as CAN'T." – Beryl Amy Patterson (My Mother) 
  🔹 Raised by a fiercely strong woman who lived and loved boldly before cancer took her too soon, I grew up knowing that obstacles are just challenges waiting to be conquered. As the eldest of four girls, I learned resilience, creativity, and the power of self-expression. 
  🔹 My artistic journey has taken me through pottery, painting, poetry, photography, sculpting, and beyond—because when words aren't enough, art speaks. And when cancer came knocking in 2013, I answered not with fear but with fierce determination. 
  🔹 Diagnosed with stage three breast cancer on Valentine's Day, I refused to let it define me. Instead, I transformed pain into poetry, illness into inspiration, and fear into fierce creativity.
