Sinopse

Seasonal Sleep Patterns explores the fascinating ways our sleep and overall health are influenced by the changing seasons. The book delves into chronobiology, revealing how daylight, temperature, and other environmental cues, known as zeitgebers, synchronize our internal biological rhythms. Understanding these rhythms is crucial, as disruptions can negatively impact everything from sleep quality to hormonal fluctuations. The book progresses logically, starting with the basics of circadian rhythms and then examining the role of melatonin, a key hormone influenced by light exposure. It also investigates how temperature and food availability affect sleep in both humans and animals. Seasonal Sleep Patterns ultimately provides evidence-based strategies for adapting to seasonal changes, including sleep optimization techniques and the use of light therapy for seasonal affective disorder. This book stands out by connecting diverse fields like endocrinology, ecology, and psychology to provide a holistic view of seasonal rhythms. By understanding how our bodies are attuned to the cyclical nature of the seasons, readers can gain practical insights for improving their health and fitness year-round.

Wild Nature in Urban Edgelands

Christopher Brown

In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Christopher Brown points our that our urban landscape is dotted with abandoned lots. We’ve all noticed them—or not noticed them. These seemingly derelict spaces are often filled with left-behind concrete slabs and littered with old tires, broken-down and rusting washing machines, and other detritus of our throwaway culture. But if you stop and look past the trash, you’ll notice grass and vines are slowly reclaiming these marginal spaces. In that reclaiming, wildlife is eking out a healthful existence outside the human realm. These abandoned places where wild nature collides with the rubble of human domination host a surprising number of species.
Christopher Brown is an accomplished lawyer who has worked on two Supreme Court confirmation hearings. He has also been general counsel for several technology companies. His varied experiences span from restoring prairies to reporting from Central American war zones. His current nonfiction book explores the natural world in urban settings. He is the author of:Failed State: A Novel (Eos 2020)Rule of Capture: A Novel (Eos 2019)The Tropic of Kansas: A Novel (Harper Voyager 2017)The Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places (Timber Press 2024).

Rift Valley Fever - A British...

Hugh Cran

Trained as a vet in Edinburgh, Hugh Cran set off to Kenya and spent the next 50 years at the sharp end, treating cattle of Maasai herdsmen, wild animals, horses and pets of ex-pats and the military, the government and everyone in-between. Travelling miles on rough roads, performing impromptu surgery by torchlight and with dirty water, Hugh fell in love with the chaotic life and the colourful people he worked for, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.

Death Glitch - How...

Tamara Kneese

An accessible yet erudite deep dive into how platforms are remaking experiences of death 
 
 
  
Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists' plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. 
 
 
  
Big Tech has authority not only over people's lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies' policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes listeners on a vibrant tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality?

Entropy - A Very Short...

James Binney

Until the middle of the nineteenth century entropy and energy were confused with one another. The intellectual fog slowly cleared and now these words name subtle and powerful concepts. Most people think they know what energy is, but few could define entropy.This Very Short Introduction traces the emergence of entropy and energy as distinct concepts, and explains how entropy spread from thermodynamics into statistical mechanics, probability theory and data science. It explains the implications of entropy for heat pumps, solar cells, carbon capture, and liquified natural gas. Quantum mechanics and gravity open new horizons for entropy, and when combined in the quantum theory of black holes, they call into question our current understanding of material reality.

MS and Me

Dorothy Mitchell

Living with multiple sclerosis was never going to be easy. The phrase 'I rule it, it doesn't rule me' was to become Lydia's benchmark. She clung fiercely to these words. They would booster her strength in the years ahead when at times, fear of the pain and its affects, especially the horrendous agony of an MS attack, would almost break her. 
This then is Lydia's story....
