  On the 23rd of May 2019, Hakan Bulgurlu became one of the fortunate few to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. To stand on top of the world’s highest mountain is a humbling experience, to bear witness to nature at its most awe-inspiring and powerful is even more humbling. Bulgurlu’s quest to climb Everest came with a purpose: making the environment the centre of his ambition to highlight the catastrophic effect climate change is having on our planet, to lead by example and to seek out practical solutions. He wanted to use the expedition as a wake-up call to what we are doing to the natural world.  
  In his powerful new book, Bulgurlu tells the fascinating story of this adventure of a lifetime, harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure. He delves into the roots of the environmental crisis we find ourselves in, speaking to climate activists and campaigners, biologists, scientists, filmmakers, academics, economists, entrepreneurs, global leaders and innovators. They help shed light on the issues that we face and the solutions that will help secure a better future for generations to come. In this gripping account of his journey, Bulgurlu describes the challenges he faced in reaching the summit, and the challenges we all face in protecting the planet and the future of humanity.

  The untold history of America's mid-twentieth-century program of hepatitis infection research, its scientists' aspirations, and the damage the project caused human subjects 
   
   
    
  From 1942 through 1972, American biomedical researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. Government-sponsored researchers were attempting to discover the basic features of the disease and the viruses causing it, and to develop interventions that would quell recurring outbreaks. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-person interviews, Sydney Halpern traces the hepatitis program from its origins in World War II through its expansion during the initial Cold War years, to its demise in the early 1970s amid an outcry over research abuse. 
   
   
    
  The subjects in hepatitis studies were members of stigmatized groups—conscientious objectors, prison inmates, the mentally ill, and developmentally disabled adults and children. The book reveals how researchers invoked military and scientific imperatives and the rhetoric of a common good to win support for the experiments and access to recruits. Halpern examines the participants' long-term health consequences and raises troubling questions about hazardous human experiments aimed at controlling today's epidemic diseases.

  The evolution of mobile networks has been marked by significant technological advancements, each bringing us closer to a more connected world. From the early days of 1G, which introduced voice communication, to the high-speed data services of 4G, each generation has made its mark. However, 5G technology is set to revolutionize connectivity, offering not just faster speeds but also enabling new capabilities that were previously unimaginable. Understanding 5G is essential, as it holds the potential to transform industries, enhance our daily lives, and shape the future of communication. 
  What sets 5G apart from its predecessors is its sheer speed and low latency. While 4G networks provided impressive data speeds, 5G can offer speeds up to 100 times faster, making it possible to download and stream data almost instantaneously. This leap in speed opens up a wide range of possibilities, from improved mobile broadband services to enhanced user experiences in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Furthermore, 5G is designed to handle more devices simultaneously, addressing the growing demands of the Internet of Things (IoT). With billions of connected devices expected to flood the market, 5G ensures that the infrastructure can support this explosion of smart gadgets and sensors. 
  Low latency, another hallmark of 5G technology, plays a critical role in reducing the time it takes for data to travel between devices and networks. This low-latency characteristic makes 5G particularly valuable for applications that require real-time communication, such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgeries, and live-streamed events. The ability to transmit data with minimal delay opens up a new era of connectivity, where immediate responses are critical to the success of many systems.

  The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. 
   
   
   
  Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats, squirrels, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. 
   
   
   
  Flaco's urban adventure brought controversy, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the safety of the zoo against those who created the "Free Flaco" movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought scores of enthusiasts to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban environments, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City.
