Sinopsis

Outdoor Air Taints sheds light on a surprisingly overlooked source of air pollution: emissions from residential dryer vents. The book argues that these seemingly minor releases of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) collectively contribute significantly to outdoor air quality issues, particularly in densely populated areas. It uniquely combines environmental science, public health perspectives, and chemical engineering insights to present a comprehensive analysis.

 
One intriguing finding is the identification of specific detergents and fabric softeners as major contributors to the chemical profile of dryer vent emissions. Another is the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to simulate how these pollutants disperse in the atmosphere under varying conditions, mirroring how smoke might spread from a chimney but with invisible chemicals.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing the concept of dryer vent emissions as an environmental concern. It then details the chemical composition of these emissions through laboratory analyses and explores their atmospheric dispersion using CFD modeling. Real-world air quality data is analyzed to correlate dryer usage with VOC levels. The book concludes by examining potential mitigation strategies, from alternative laundry products to improved dryer vent filtration systems.

 
This research is invaluable for environmental scientists, public health professionals, policymakers, and environmentally conscious consumers interested in understanding and addressing emerging sources of air pollution.

    Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal diseases and systemic autoimmune conditions, commonly referred to as rheumatic diseases. These conditions primarily affect the joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and disability. The role of the rheumatologist is to evaluate and manage these disorders, aiming to reduce symptoms, prevent disease progression, and improve the quality of life for patients. 
    Rheumatic diseases encompass a wide range of conditions, some of which are common and others rare. Among the most prevalent are diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and gout. These disorders can range in severity from mild joint discomfort to life-threatening systemic inflammation, often involving multiple organs. The key characteristic of many rheumatic diseases is the involvement of the immune system in causing inflammation and damage to the body’s tissues. 
    One of the hallmarks of rheumatology is its emphasis on autoimmunity. In autoimmune diseases, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, considering them foreign. This immune dysregulation is often the root cause of many rheumatic conditions, and understanding the immune mechanisms at play is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The immune response can lead to chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and, over time, the destruction of joints and other vital structures. In some cases, the underlying cause is still not fully understood, which makes the diagnosis and management of these conditions complex.

    A fully updated new edition of David Attenborough’s bestselling classic. 
    BIRDS. 11,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song. 
    David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds' lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions. 
    Sir David has no equal in helping others to learn and making it exciting. His curiosity and enjoyment are infectious. He shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if unaware of them. 
    Attenborough, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the science of birdwatching, offering readers a comprehensive guide to understanding the natural world. His passion for zoology and ecology is palpable, making this non-fiction book a captivating read for anyone interested in nature and its history. 
    For fans of David Allen Sibley (Birds of Instagram), Joshua Foer (Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), and Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot).

    Toddlers hold the secrets to having more fun and living a fulfilling life. These are secrets we once knew and ones that a Harvard-trained physician can help us rediscover. 
     
    Terrible twos, temper tantrums, and grocery store meltdowns are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of toddlers. But pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher Dr. Hasan Merali has long thought toddlers are among the best people in our society and adults could do well to learn from them.  
     
    These extraordinary youngsters can be impulsive, yes, but with this comes a remarkable ability to take risks and ask questions—two qualities that can help us enjoy life more. Toddlers act kindly toward strangers, are eager to work with others to solve problems, and demonstrate extraordinary dedication and perseverance. These are all traits that many of us aspire to have in order to improve both our personal and professional lives. 
     
    To unpack this behavior, Dr. Merali includes many humorous examples from his experience as a pediatrician and father, but the core lessons are drawn from two decades worth of fascinating and surprising studies in child psychology and development. Merali connects these studies to research about adults to create the first book to offer adults important lessons that can be gleaned from toddlers.  
     
    Toddlers can teach you many things, including how to: 
    • Lose weight naturally • Sleep better • Build stronger friendships • Improve teamwork • Be more productive • Have more fun, and • Live a more fulfilling life 
     
    Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas shows us how toddlers bring out the best in humanity and how we can, too. It’s a whole new way of looking at and learning from toddlers.
