The book employs a meticulous literary style, emphasizing clarity and rigor while employing visual metaphors to elucidate complex concepts. Within this text, Maxwell seeks to expand upon Michael Faraday's pioneering work, synthesizing his concepts of field theory and introducing mathematical formulations that laid the groundwork for modern electromagnetism. James Clerk Maxwell, a prominent Scottish physicist, was profoundly influenced by Faraday's intuitive approaches to electricity and magnetism. His academic background and teachings at the University of Cambridge substantially shaped his analytical thinking. Maxwell's desire to bridge the gap between theoretical mathematics and experimental physics inspired him to elucidate Faraday's ideas, developing a coherent framework that validated Faraday's experimental insights with mathematical precision. Highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts alike, "On Faraday's Lines of Force" serves as both a historical document and a foundational text in the field of electromagnetism.

The Decline and Fall of the...

Henry Gee

"Henry Gee presents a pithy, fascinating account of the stages of biological evolution. ... a meditative and friendly listening experience. —AudioFile on A (Very) Short History of Life on EarthWritten and read by the award-winning author of A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: a history of humanity on the brink of decline.A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read SelectionWe are living through a period that is unique in human history. For the first time in more than ten thousand years, the rate of human population growth is slowing down. In the middle of this century population growth will stop, and the number of people on Earth will start to decline—fast. In this provocative book, award-winning science writer Henry Gee offers a concise, brilliantly-told history of our species—and argues that we are on a rapid, one-way trip to extinction. The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire narrates the dramatic rise of humanity, how a scattered range of small groups across several continents eventually inbred, interacted, fought, established stable communities and food supplies, and began the process of dominating the planet. The human story is relatively brief—the oldest fossils of H. Sapiens date to approximately 300,000 years ago—yet the spread of our species has been unstoppable…until recently. As Gee demonstrates, our population has peaked, and is declining; our environment is becoming inimical to human life in many locations; our core resources of water, arable land, and air are diminishing; and new diseases, simmering conflicts, and ambiguous technologies threaten our collective health. Can we still change our course? Or is our own extinction inevitable?There could be a way out, but the launch window is narrow.Unless Homo sapiens establishes successful colonies in space within the next two centuries, our species is likely to stay earthbound and will have vanished entirely within another ten thousand years, bringing the seven-million-year story of the human lineage to an end.With assured narration, dramatic stories, and his signature sprightly humor, Henry Gee envisions new opportunities for the future of humanity—a future that will reward facing challenges with ingenuity, foresight, and cooperation.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Seven Steps to Managing Your...

MD Andrew E. Budson, PsyD...

As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
 
 
 
Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
 
 
 
● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
 
 
 
● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
 
 
 
● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
 
 
 
● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
 
 
 
● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

Dignity for Deeply Forgetful...

Jade C. Angelica, Stephen G. Post

For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's. 
 
How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing selfidentity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. 
 
In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity.  
 
With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled."  
 
Post covers key practical topics such as: 
• understanding the experience of dementia 
• noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity" 
• perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers 
• how to communicate optimally and use language effectively 
• the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity 
• the value of trained "dementia companion" dogs 
 
At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics  
on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic  
justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica.
