  Principles of Physics -...

  Physics is the branch of science that seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing the universe. It explores the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, and investigates the forces and interactions that shape the behavior of physical systems. Physics provides the foundation for understanding natural phenomena, from the motion of celestial bodies to the behavior of subatomic particles. It is both a theoretical and experimental science, combining mathematical models with empirical observations to describe and predict physical behavior. 
  The origins of physics can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers such as Aristotle and Democritus speculated about the nature of matter and motion. However, modern physics began to take shape during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries with the work of Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. Galileo introduced the concept of systematic experimentation and mathematical analysis, while Kepler’s laws of planetary motion provided empirical support for the heliocentric model of the solar system. Newton’s formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation established a comprehensive framework for understanding the mechanics of bodies in motion. 
  Physics is traditionally divided into classical and modern physics. Classical physics encompasses theories developed before the 20th century, including Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and classical electromagnetism. Newtonian mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects using concepts such as force, mass, and acceleration. Thermodynamics studies the relationships between heat, work, and energy, while classical electromagnetism, formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, explains the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles.

  Ophthalmology - Eye Diseases and...

  Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye diseases and disorders. It encompasses the care of the eyes, as well as vision, including conditions that affect the ability to see clearly. As one of the most specialized fields of healthcare, ophthalmology combines elements of surgery, medical diagnosis, and therapeutic care. The eye is an intricate organ that plays a crucial role in the way humans experience the world, and ophthalmology seeks to preserve and enhance vision by addressing a wide range of eye-related conditions. 
  The role of ophthalmologists, medical doctors specialized in eye care, is pivotal in maintaining visual health and addressing the complexities of eye diseases. Ophthalmologists undergo years of specialized education and training in both medical and surgical aspects of eye care. They are responsible for providing comprehensive services, ranging from routine eye examinations to advanced surgical procedures such as cataract surgery, glaucoma treatments, and retinal surgeries. Their expertise also extends to diagnosing and managing diseases that affect the entire eye, from the cornea and lens to the retina and optic nerve. 
  Over the centuries, the field of ophthalmology has evolved considerably. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Greeks, made early attempts to understand the anatomy and function of the eye. However, it was in the 19th and 20th centuries that modern ophthalmology truly began to take shape, with the invention of essential diagnostic tools and surgical techniques. The development of the ophthalmoscope, for example, revolutionized the ability to examine the interior of the eye, leading to more accurate diagnoses. In the following decades, innovations in surgical methods, such as cataract surgery, and advances in treatments for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration have drastically improved patient outcomes.

  Obesity - The other pandemic of...

  Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
  Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
  the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
  'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
  The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

  Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

  When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
  Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
  Sample passages: 
  From Chapter 1 
  "Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
  From Chapter 16 
  "The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
  In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."
