Sinopse

"GPS Revolution" offers a compelling journey through the evolution of satellite navigation technology, tracing its remarkable transformation from a Cold War military innovation to an integral part of modern life. Beginning with the unexpected revelation during Sputnik's 1957 launch that satellites could determine precise Earth locations, the book weaves together technical developments, policy decisions, and societal impacts that have shaped our relationship with global positioning technology.

 
The narrative expertly balances technical depth with accessibility, exploring how the original network of 24 GPS satellites expanded into today's multi-system environment that includes GLONASS and Galileo. Through declassified military records and expert interviews, readers discover fascinating insights about the system's development, such as how the removal of selective availability in 2000 dramatically improved civilian GPS accuracy, and how complex mathematical triangulation principles enable meter-level positioning precision.

 
The book progressively examines three fundamental themes: technical evolution, democratization of precise positioning, and societal impact, supported by real-world applications across various sectors. From precision agriculture to emergency response systems, the author demonstrates how satellite navigation continues to revolutionize different industries while addressing contemporary challenges like signal spoofing and system vulnerabilities.

 
This comprehensive exploration culminates in a discussion of future developments, including the potential of quantum technologies and the integration of multiple satellite systems, making it an invaluable resource for both technical professionals and curious general readers.

    A moving cultural history of disability—and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions 
      
    From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? 
      
    Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease—which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness—and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system—and how we can do better. 
      
    "This book challenges us to address discrimination in clinical care for people with complex chronic conditions like long Covid, questioning why some are believed while others aren't—a persistent disparity in US healthcare."—Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder of Health Justice

    Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.
