  HIV - AIDS - Living Positively...

  Receiving an HIV diagnosis can be life-altering, bringing a wave of emotions, uncertainties, and concerns about the future. Many individuals initially experience fear, confusion, or even denial, as the stigma surrounding HIV remains a significant challenge worldwide. However, the reality of living with HIV today is vastly different from what it was decades ago. Thanks to medical advancements, education, and growing awareness, people with HIV can lead long, fulfilling lives with proper treatment and care. 
  One of the most critical aspects of living with HIV is understanding that it is a manageable condition. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed the outlook for those diagnosed, helping them maintain undetectable viral loads and reducing the risk of transmission. This medical breakthrough has empowered individuals to take control of their health, ensuring that an HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. With adherence to treatment, many people with HIV have the same life expectancy as those without the virus. 
  Despite these advancements, stigma and discrimination continue to be significant obstacles. Misconceptions and outdated beliefs about HIV can lead to fear and isolation, affecting mental and emotional well-being. Many individuals struggle with disclosing their status due to concerns about rejection or discrimination in their personal and professional lives. Overcoming these barriers requires ongoing education and advocacy, as well as fostering a more inclusive and supportive society. Open discussions, accurate information, and strong support networks play a crucial role in breaking down these barriers.

  ‘Combines the natural history of programmes such as David Attenborough’s Planet Earth with the planetary focus of Brian Cox’s Universe’ Guardian 
  A beautiful, full colour book to accompany the 5 part BBC TV series telling the most important story of all, the deep history of our own planet. 
  With the trademark dramatic storytelling techniques of The Planets and The Universe, Andrew Cohen and Chris Packham narrate the biography of the Earth, revealing the most epic moments from its history, from the first seconds of its existence to the arrival of its most incredible inhabitants, us. 
  But humans take a back seat for this story as the Earth takes centre stage. We’ll witness those moments where our planet’s future hung in the balance in the face of massive bombardments from space, extreme changes in climate, the collision of whole continents and more, and we’ll tell the story of how Earth’s most incredible creations – life and intelligence – are set to have the same lasting impact on Earth’s story as any meteorite or earthquake. 
  This is the epic 4 billion year story of the place we call home. 
  Chris Packham's EARTH is a top-tier exploration of the evolution of our planet. This latest contribution to the science genre offers a new perspective, placing Earth and its history at the centre of the narrative. 
  For fans of Andrew H. Knoll (A Brief History of Earth), John Muir Laws (The Laws Field Guide to Sierra Birds), Hamza Yassin (Be a Birder), Isabella Tree (Wilding), and Alice Roberts (The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being).

  Civil Engineering - Systems...

  Civil engineering is a multifaceted field that intersects with many aspects of our daily lives. It involves the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure that supports modern society, including buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, water supply and treatment systems, wastewater treatment plants, and more. Civil engineers collaborate with architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and other professionals to create functional and resilient structures that meet the needs of communities while considering factors like safety, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact.  
  They use advanced technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD), geographic information systems (GIS), and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to optimize their designs and streamline project management processes. Moreover, civil engineering encompasses various specialized fields, including structural engineering (which focuses on designing safe and efficient structures), geotechnical engineering (which deals with soil and rock mechanics), transportation engineering (which involves designing and managing transportation systems), environmental engineering (which addresses pollution control and sustainable resource management), and water resources engineering (which focuses on water supply, flood control, and hydrology). Overall, civil engineering plays a crucial role in shaping the physical infrastructure of societies and ensuring their long-term sustainability and resilience.

  Strength in Numbers - How Polls...

  G. Elliott Morris

  Public opinion polling is the ultimate democratic process; it gives every person an equal voice in letting elected leaders know what they need and want. But in the eyes of the public, polls today are tarnished. Recent election forecasts have routinely missed the mark and media coverage of polls has focused solely on predicting winners and losers. 
   
   
   
  In Strength in Numbers, data journalist G. Elliott Morris argues that the larger purpose of political polls is to improve democracy, not just predict elections. Whether used by interest groups, the press, or politicians, polling serves as a pipeline from the governed to the government, giving citizens influence they would otherwise lack. No one who believes in democracy can afford to give up on polls; they should commit, instead, to understanding them better. 
   
   
   
  Morris takes listeners from the first semblance of data-gathering in the ancient world through to the development of modern-day scientific polling. He explains how the internet and "big data" have solved many challenges in polling—and created others. He covers the rise of polling aggregation and methods of election forecasting, reveals how data can be distorted and misrepresented, and demystifies the uncertainty of polling. Acknowledging where polls have gone wrong in the past, Morris charts a path for the industry's future.

  Cancer - A Very Short...

  In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
   
   
   
  Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.
