  A lively exploration of how invisibility has gone from science fiction to fact 
   
   
   
  Is it possible for something or someone to be made invisible? This question, which has intrigued authors of science fiction for over a century, has become a headline-grabbing topic of scientific research. 
   
   
   
  In this book, science writer and optical physicist Gregory J. Gbur traces the science of invisibility from its sci-fi origins in the nineteenth-century writings of authors such as H. G. Wells and Fitz James O'Brien to modern stealth technology, invisibility cloaks, and metamaterials. He explores the history of invisibility and its science and technology connections, including the discovery of the electromagnetic spectrum, the development of the atomic model, and quantum theory. He shows how invisibility has moved from fiction to reality, and he questions the hidden paths that lie ahead for researchers. 
   
   
   
  This is not only the story of invisibility but also the story of humankind's understanding of the nature of light itself, and of the many fascinating figures whose discoveries advanced this knowledge.

  A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
   
   
   
  Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

  Winner of the Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing
  'Moving, kind, eye-opening, terrifying and inspirational. This book will stay with me for years.' Adam Kay, author of This Is Going to Hurt
  In 2014, Dr Benjamin Black arrived in Sierra Leone to work as an obstetrician in a country with one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Within weeks, the Ebola epidemic was spreading rapidly across West Africa, transforming an already fragile healthcare system into the frontline of an unprecedented crisis.
  From maternity wards to Ebola Treatment Centres, Black was confronted with impossible decisions: how do you provide emergency care when physical contact itself can be deadly? How do you protect healthcare workers without abandoning the women who desperately need them? And what happens to pregnancy and childbirth when an epidemic overwhelms almost every aspect of medical care?
  Drawing on his experiences with Médecins Sans Frontières, Belly Woman takes readers behind the headlines to meet the women, families and healthcare workers living through the epidemic. Black writes with remarkable honesty about maternal death, reproductive healthcare and the realities of humanitarian medicine, but also about courage, camaraderie and the moments of hope that persist in the midst of crisis.
  Looking from Ebola to his later experiences providing maternity care during COVID-19, Black asks what these outbreaks reveal about inequality, global health and the choices we make when healthcare systems are pushed to their limits.
  Urgent, compassionate and deeply human, Belly Woman is an extraordinary medical memoir about caring for women in some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable.

  Leading an Agile team calls for unexpected changes and typical project management tactics. You simply can't approach an Agile Project with the same mentality as you usually use. Agile teams are self-organized, self-directing, and lack a hierarchical structure that often defines project management. But even with the lack of common elements, you can be a team leader and guide your project to success. Even if you're not familiar with coding or software development, understanding the Agile manifesto, and the basics of Agile project management, you can be a valued part of the team. 
  Within this book you'll learn:The principles of Agile developmentDifferent methods to guide your team toward successHow to keep team members accountableYour role within the Agile team and how to best act as a leaderHow to address conflict and tension within your teamValuable tools to use to help your team communicate clearly and collaborate effectivelyHow to manage the events that drive Agile projects 
  Managing an Agile project can go smoothly if you use the principles and constructs of an Agile team the way they were intended. Some modern tools have made that even easier, but you'll always need to have a grip on the human element of team management as well. By expanding your knowledge of Agile, you can balance the importance of people, the usefulness of tools, and the value of the principles laid out in the Agile Manifesto.
