  Against the Odds - Women...

  Even in the third decade of the twenty-first century, it is still harder for women to make a career in science than men. Two centuries ago, however, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when science as we know it was just getting started, the situation was far worse. Then, the very notion of a female scientist would have been regarded as something of an oxymoron.
  
  
  
  From bestselling and award-winning science writers John and Mary Gribbin, Against the Odds highlights the achievements of women who overcame hurdles and achieved scientific success (although not always as much as they deserved) in spite of male prejudice, as society changed over about 150 years, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century.
  
  
  There is Eunice Newton Foote, who discovered the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect; Chien-Shiung Wu, who discovered the law which allows matter to exist in the Universe today; and Barbara McClintock, who discovered how genes turn on and off.
  
  
  With a foreword from astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, this book is not only a cautionary tale about the stifling effects of prejudice against women in science, but is a celebration of those who achieved success against the odds - and an inspiration for the next generation.

  In this deeply personal and profoundly hopeful memoir, Dr. Clarisse Djeumo Djukom invites listeners into her intimate journey of living with bipolar disorder as a Christian woman. With raw honesty and unwavering faith, she chronicles her path from the subtle early warning signs—dismissed as stress or fatigue—through the devastating extremes of manic highs and crushing depressive lows, to finding stability, purpose, and peace. 
  More than just a story of survival, this book is a comprehensive guide for anyone touched by bipolar disorder. Dr. Djukom weaves together her lived experiences with practical strategies for managing the illness, including navigating medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes. She tackles often-overlooked challenges like the financial burden of treatment, the importance of building a strong support network, and the courage required to break through stigma and shame. 
  At the heart of this narrative is the author's Christian faith—an anchor that provides strength, hope, and meaning amidst suffering. Through prayer, scripture, and spiritual reflection, she demonstrates how faith can be integrated with medical treatment to create a holistic approach to healing. 
  Whether you're living with bipolar disorder, supporting a loved one, or seeking to understand this complex condition, this audiobook offers validation, practical wisdom, and a powerful message: recovery is possible, small victories matter, and you are not alone. Dr. Djukom's journey reminds us that our struggles do not define us—they can become the foundation for resilience, self-compassion, and a life filled with purpose.

  Origin of Species The - Charles...

  Charles Darwin

  On the Origin of Species is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. 
  Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream.
