Sinossi

In "Radio-Active Substances," Marie Curie delves into the groundbreaking research surrounding radioactivity, a term she famously coined. The book presents a methodical exploration of the properties and behavior of radioactive elements, enhanced by Curie's meticulous scientific observations and experiments. Her writing is characterized by clarity and precision, embodying a blend of personal narrative and rigorous scientific inquiry. Within the broader context of early 20th-century science, Curie's work represents a pivotal moment in the understanding of atomic theory and its implications for both medicine and physics, making profound contributions to the nascent field of radiology. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win in two different scientific fields (Physics and Chemistry), was driven by an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to scientific discovery. Her pioneering work on radioactivity stemmed from a desire to comprehend the nature of matter and its potential applications for humanity. Her experiences navigating the male-dominated scientific community of her time have fueled her resolve to elevate the role of female scientists and contribute significantly to societal progress. I highly recommend "Radio-Active Substances" not only to those interested in the history of science but also to readers who appreciate the intricate dance between determination and discovery. Curie's profound insights continue to resonate, urging modern scientists and inquisitive minds alike to explore the mysteries of the universe with both rigor and passion.

    With over two decades’ experience both observing and interpreting how people channel disaster into opportunity in the most extreme circumstances and environments on Earth, Ben Ramalingam has a unique vantage point from which to identify the key principles that can enable anyone to use stress as an opportunity for change.In Upshift, Ramalingam distils this expertise into an insightful, powerful, and engaging audiobook that will show you how to reframe your set responses to stress and pressure and instead use them to harness the potential they hold not just for improving your work, your relationships, and your mindset, but for transforming them.Upshift takes listeners on an epic journey from early humans’ survival of the Ice Age to present times in our inescapable, pernicious and ever-shifting digital landscape. You will hear remarkable stories from a vast range of upshifters—all of whom carved new routes around perceived barriers using their powers to upshift. Underlying stories of how city commuters navigate train cancellations to how astronauts deal with life-threatening incidents, is one key message: We all have the power to innovate, whether or not we identify ourselves as creative or extraordinary.Maybe you’re the challenger, who thrives by constructively disrupting the status quo like Greta Thunberg. Or perhaps you find yourself constantly tweaking, prodding, breaking, rebuilding, and improving like crafters such as the team that revolutionized space travel called the NASA Pirates. Do you love introducing people whose combined efforts will lead to greater achievements? You might be a connector, like master networker Ariana Huffington.In a runaway world that is an engine for perpetual crisis, Upshift is not only an essential toolkit for survival, it is a roadmap for positive, and potentially life-changing transformation and influence. You don’t have to shut down—you can upshift.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

    Blockchain technology could be the greatest innovation since the internet. 
    What exactly is Blockchain? 
    Blockchain is a simple but ingenious new protocol that allows peer-to-peer internet transactions that are both secure and anonymous. Many governments and companies are already looking at how to put blockchain technology in place in a wide range of areas. This new protocol could impact every individual on the planet within the next few years. 
    Why is this important? 
    Blockchain provides a new secure tool for the transfer “value” utilizing the internet. This is powerful, especially if you’re a craftsman who wants to make a living from your art, or you’re a businessman looking for a better platform on which to build future business. Knowing how this new technology works can give you a real competitive edge in the future. Many of the world’s leading financial institutions are already testing this technology for faster, more secure transactions. These institutions include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Credit Suisse. 
    The best new is that this technology is public. It is virtually tamper-proof. And, it is available to anyone ready to take advantage of it. This is the same technology that is the driving force behind Bitcoin and other digital currencies, but the potential goes way beyond this.

    On Assisted Suicide

    Assisted suicide and euthanasia are being legalized or at least debated throughout much of the world today. But should suicide ever be assisted? When someone is suffering and no longer wants to live, and asks another to help him end his life, what is the right response? In this powerful volume in Word on Fire’s Dignity Series, Stephanie Gray Connors engages both the mind and the heart in answering these increasingly urgent questions. Through ten proposed principles to help guide the conversation, On Assisted Suicide will draw readers into the mysteries of joy and suffering, life and death, and the unconditional dignity of the human person.   Why dignity? Because human dignity (dignitas, the worthiness of each person) is the foundation of all human society. Jacques Maritain, the Catholic philosopher who helped draft the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, affirmed this in saying, “The privilege connected with the dignity of the person is inalienable, and human life involves a sacred right.”  In a time of political polarization, social division, and the ongoing “culture wars,” the Dignity Series aims to refocus our attention on human dignity. The series enters into the great mystery of human life with wonder and reverence, and unflinchingly faces grave threats to human dignity, many of them ignored in the culture today.  Each volume in the series will examine one of those threats, drawing on rational argument, spiritual sources, and above all, personal stories that take readers into the lived experience on the frontier of the issue. This broad mix of ideas and approaches acknowledges that a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities shape how we interact with these questions—and that if a book is to help us grow, it has to stir our hearts as well as activate our minds. The Dignity Series emerges out of and points back to the whole-life ethic of Catholic social teaching, which is grounded in the principle of human dignity. “Social justice,” the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, “can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man” (CCC 1929). And that dignity, on the Catholic reading, can only finally rest on our status as creatures made in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:26). However, these books are for anyone—Catholic or non-Catholic, religious or nonreligious—who wrestles with these issues and longs to see a more informed and considerate approach to them.
