  Agrostology, the scientific study of grasses, is a crucial field of botany that explores the diversity, structure, and ecological significance of grasses. Grasses belong to the Poaceae family, one of the largest and most economically important plant families in the world. These plants play a foundational role in ecosystems, agriculture, and human civilization. From the vast prairies and savannas to the rice and wheat fields that sustain billions of people, grasses shape the landscapes of both natural and human-altered environments. 
  The study of grasses has a long history, dating back to early agricultural societies that first domesticated cereal crops. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China relied on grasses such as wheat, barley, and rice to establish permanent settlements. Over time, the understanding of grass physiology, reproduction, and ecological functions deepened, leading to advancements in agronomy, ecology, and land management. By the 19th and 20th centuries, agrostology emerged as a specialized discipline within botany, focusing on grass classification, physiology, and ecosystem dynamics. 
  Grasses are uniquely adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. They thrive in temperate, tropical, and even arid climates, displaying remarkable resilience through specialized growth mechanisms. Their ability to reproduce through both seeds and vegetative propagation allows them to colonize and dominate various habitats. Many grass species employ C4 photosynthesis, an efficient metabolic pathway that enables them to survive in hot, dry environments. This adaptability makes grasses a dominant plant group in many ecosystems, providing habitat and food for numerous animal species.

  It’s a trauma like no other. 
  Being perceived as a threat or, worse, hunted as food makes an animal attack a unique ordeal. Suddenly you’re helpless, at its mercy. When an animal strikes it is lightning fast, determined and can’t be reasoned with. Often brutally violent, such an attack can leave horrific injuries, both physical and emotional that endure long after the encounter. 
  Whether it’s a great white shark, a bear, lion, or other deadly predator, the impact such attacks can have on the victim, their families, the communities, and the wider human psyche is often profound and enduring. And when you add the media attention that such incidents often attract, the actual bite might not be the only attack a survivor has to endure. 
  In Bite Club, we meet brave people from around the world who have come face to face with sharks or other deadly predators and lived to tell the tale. And we learn of the group of survivors who are supporting each other to navigate, recover and grow from what is for many, their most traumatic experience ever.

  The Madness Pill - One Doctor's...

  A rollicking history of the life and work of an unheralded genius: Dr. Solomon Snyder, whose experiments with mind-altering drugs helped change the way we think about the causes and treatments of schizophrenia.In the 1950s, the field of psychiatry had nothing to show for itself. While polio was being cured, antibiotics were being discovered, and cancer research was developing, the mental health world had no wins. Asylums were full and nobody had figured out how to fix insanity—specifically schizophrenia, the severest mental illness. Scientists became convinced that if they could engineer a pill to create madness, then they could cure it.Centered around Solomon Snyder, the psychiatrist who ultimately did identify the madness pill, and the community of doctors and researchers he worked with, THE MADNESS PILL recounts the drug-fueled quest to cure schizophrenia. A wunderkind who started medical school at 19, Snyder worked steadily for decades to replicate the illness, ultimately finding in 1970 that amphetamines could trigger a schizophrenia-like state by flooding the brain with dopamine. Five years later, he went on to discover the dopamine receptor and proved that antipsychotic drugs work by disabling dopamine neurons. Snyder’s dopamine hypothesis inspired a generation of researchers to part ways with psychoanalysis and look for the biological basis of schizophrenia and other mental disorders.Using first-hand research and interviews, THE MADNESS PILL is at once a raucous history and insightful portrait of a remarkable scientist who turned psychiatry into a respected science by transforming how mental illness is treated.
