  The breakthroughs that have had the most transformative practical impacts, from thermodynamics to the Internet.Physics informs our understanding of how the world works – but more than that, key breakthroughs in physics have transformed everyday life. We journey back to ten separate days in history to understand how particular breakthroughs were achieved, meet the individuals responsible and see how each breakthrough has influenced our lives.It is a unique selection. Focusing on practical impact means there is no room for Stephen Hawking's work on black holes, or the discovery of the Higgs boson. Instead we have the relatively little-known Rudolf Clausius (thermodynamics) and Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (superconductivity), while Albert Einstein is included not for his theories of relativity but for the short paper that gave us E=mc2 (nuclear fission). Later chapters feature transistors, LEDs and the Internet.

  Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members. 
  Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care." 
  Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams. 
  Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for: 
  The patient to be involved 
  The patient to be the team leader 
  The patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision. 
  Included is: 
  Where to start even before deciding on drugs and devices? 
  Who should be on your team? 
  What is the Patient Profile and why it is essential for all team members to use? 
  What are the various classifications of heart failure and why it matters? 
  What does HFrEF, HFpEF and HFmEF mean and why does it matter? 
  Why the majority of patients with or at risk for heart failure may not know of their risk? 
  How to use published heart failure guidelines? 
  What other chronic diseases commonly overlap with heart failure? 
  What are biomarkers and how should they be used? 
  And much, much more...including information on COVID-19, SGLT2 inhibiting drugs, lifesaving medicines including ARNIs, and technologies you may not be aware of such as blood volume analysis.  
  And the truth is that Strategic Heart Failure is an approach that is of value to anyone with heart failure but also can be applied to any other chronic disease. So, let's get Strategic!

  Viral Loop: The Ultimate Guide to Viral Marketing Techniques to Generate More Traffic and More Profit for Your BusinessThe concept of viral marketing is simple. Implement an entity that is so compelling, so interesting, so valuable, that anyone who comes in contact with it immediately has the desire to share it with someone or everyone they know.

  Climate Change: An...

  How prehistoric humans coped with the end of the last Ice Age—and catastrophic global warming. 
   
  Global warming is among the most urgent problems facing the world today. Yet many commentators, and even some scientists, discuss it with reference only to the changing climate of the last century or so. John Grainger takes a longer view and draws on the archaeological evidence to show how our ancestors faced up to the ending of the last Ice Age, arguably a more dramatic climate change crisis than the present one.  
   
  Ranging from the Paleolithic down to the development of agriculture in the Neolithic, the author shows how human ingenuity and resourcefulness allowed them to adapt to the changing conditions in a variety of ways as the ice sheets retreated and water levels rose. Different strategies, from big game hunting on the ice, nomadic hunter gathering, sedentary foraging, and finally farming, were developed in various regions in response to local conditions as early man colonized the changing world. The human response to climate change was not to try to stop it, but to embrace technology and innovation to cope with it.

  In this enthralling cosmic journey through space and time, astrophysicist Jillian Scudder locates our home planet within its own 'family tree'. Our parent the Earth and its sibling planets in our solar system formed within the same gas cloud. 
  Without our grandparent the Sun, we would not exist, and the Sun in turn relies on the Milky Way as its home. The Milky Way rests in a larger web of galaxies that traces its origins right back to tiny fluctuations in the very early universe.
  Following these cosmic connections, we discover the many ties that bind us to our universe. 
  Based around readers' questions from the author's popular blog 'Astroquizzical', the book provides a quirky guide to how things work in the universe and why things are the way they are, from shooting stars on Earth, to black holes, to entire galaxies.
  For anyone interested in the 'big picture' of how the cosmos functions and how it is all connected, Jillian Scudder is the perfect guide.
