  Systemic - How Racism Is Making...

  Layal Liverpool spent years bouncing from doctor to doctor, each one failing to diagnose her dermatological complaint. Just when she'd grown used to the idea that she had an extremely rare and untreatable skin condition, one dermatologist, after a quick exam, told her that she had a classic (and common) case of eczema and explained that it often appears differently on darker skin. Her experience stuck with her, making her wonder whether other medical conditions might be going undiagnosed in darker-skinned people and whether racism could, in fact, make people sick. 
   
   
   
  The pandemic taught us that diseases like Covid disproportionately affect people of color. Here, Liverpool goes a step further to show that this disparity exists for all types of illness and that it is caused by racism. In Systemic, she shares her journey to show how racism, woven into our societies, as well as into the structures of medicine and science, is harmful to our health. Refuting the false belief that there are biological differences between races, she goes on to show that racism-related stress and trauma can however, lead to biological changes that make people of color more vulnerable to illness, debunking the myth of illness as the great equalizer. Liverpool reveals the fatal stereotypes that keep people of color undiagnosed, untreated, and unsafe, and tells us what we can do about it.

  Infinity and our Unbounded...

  The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
  Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
  It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
  Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
  We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
  This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

  Does Coffee Cause Cancer? - And...

  In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions:
  		
  		Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers?
  		Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat?
  		Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point?
  		Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label?
  		Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox?
  		Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize?
  		Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don’t need to worry about cholesterol?
  		Should I be taking vitamin D?

  Putting Ourselves Back in the...

  "This is a delightful account of one of the deepest and most fascinating explorations going on today at the frontier of our knowledge." —Carlo Rovelli, bestselling author of The Order of Time and Seven Brief Lessons on PhysicsA revelatory exploration of how a "theory of everything" depends upon our understanding of the human mindThe whole goal of physics is to explain what we observe. For centuries, physicists believed that observations yielded faithful representations of what is out there. But when they began to study the subatomic realm, they found that observation often interferes with what is being observed—that the act of seeing changes what we see. The same is true of cosmology: our view of the universe is inevitably distorted by observation bias. And so whether they’re studying subatomic particles or galaxies, physicists must first explain consciousness—and for that they must turn to neuroscientists and philosophers of mind.Neuroscientists have painstakingly built up an understanding of the structure of the brain. Could this help physicists understand the levels of self-organization they observe in other systems? These same physicists, meanwhile, are trying to explain how particles organize themselves into the objects around us. Could their discoveries help explain how neurons produce our conscious experience?Exploring these questions and more, George Musser tackles the extraordinary interconnections between quantum mechanics, cosmology, human consciousness, and artificial intelligence. Combining vivid descriptions with portraits of scientists working on the cutting edge, Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation shows how theories of everything depend on theories of mind—and how they might be one and the same.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
