  The subject is topical, and the author’s angle is provocative, but not contrarian. Acknowledges many of the environmental concerns, but also note that some plastics are not as bad compared to some of the alternatives. Interesting detail about the people behind the invention of plastic. Will appeal to fans of popular science and those with interest in environmental issues.

  Band-Aid for a Broken Leg -...

  A powerful, heart-breaking, surprisingly funny, honest and ultimately uplifting account of life on the medical frontline, and a moving testimony of the work done by Medecins Sans Frontieres and the extraordinary and sometimes eccentric people who work for it. 
   
  Damien Brown, a young Australian doctor, thinks he's ready when he arrives for his first posting with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Africa. But the town he's sent to is an isolated outpost of mud huts, surrounded by landmines; the hospital, for which he's to be the only doctor, is filled with malnourished children and conditions he's never seen; and the health workers - Angolan war veterans twice his age and who speak no English - walk out on him following an altercation on his first shift. 
   
  In the months that follow, Damien confronts these challenges all the while dealing with the social absurdities of living with only three other volunteers for company. The medical calamities pile up - a leopard attack, a landmine explosion, and having to perform surgery using tools cleaned on the fire being among them - but it's through Damien's evolving friendships with the local people that his passion for the work grows. 
   
  Band-Aid for a Broken Leg is a powerful, sometimes heart-breaking, often funny, always honest and ultimately uplifting account of life on the medical frontline in Angola, Mozambique and South Sudan. It is also a moving testimony of the work done by medical humanitarian groups and the extraordinary and sometimes eccentric people who work for them. 
   
  '…as a writer/observer, he is skilful at capturing the moments of sublime joy that living and working in such extremities can provide.' Sunday Herald Sun 
   
  'To have such great stories entwined with robust insight into humanitarian aid makes this, for me, the travel book of the year.' The Irish Times 
   
  'He writes with wit and humour, at the same time demonstrating his true compassion for his work. A fascinating read.' Liverpool Post

  The Mathematical Principles of...

  "The book that defined how the world works."
  
  In The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Isaac Newton didn't just explain how things move; he provided the mathematical proof for the mechanics of the entire universe. Moving beyond the speculative theories of his predecessors, Newton used rigorous geometric proofs to establish his Three Laws of Motion. From the falling of an apple to the orbits of the planets, he demonstrated that the same physical forces apply everywhere. This masterwork transformed the study of nature from a branch of philosophy into the modern discipline of physics, forever changing our understanding of space, time, and force.
  
  The Law of Universal Gravitation: Newton's most famous contribution within these pages is the derivation of the inverse-square law of gravity. He proved that every mass in the universe attracts every other mass, providing the first coherent explanation for why the moon orbits the Earth and why the planets remain in their paths around the sun.
  
  A Triumph of Mathematical Logic: Though Newton had developed calculus (which he called "fluxions"), he wrote the Principia using classical geometric proofs to ensure his contemporaries could follow his revolutionary logic. The result is a work of staggering intellectual density that remains the gold standard for scientific inquiry.
  
  Why It Is Essential: To own the Principia is to own the spark of the Scientific Revolution. It is the bridge between the ancient world and the space age, a testament to the power of the human mind to decode the hidden laws of nature.

  25% of the royalties of this book will be donated to Dr. Seyfrieds research (See KetoforCancer.net)! This research will actually make a real impact, as it studies the real causes and treatment opportunities of cancer. 
  This book is an overview of Dr. Thomas Seyfrieds scientific work, regarding that Cancer is a metabolic disease. It comprisesTranscripts of his talks and interviews that summarize all his most important points, as well asA Presentation by his collegue Dr. Dominic D'Agostiono about the "Press Pulse Strategy" andA possible way of eating, that would prevent cancer from the get go: The RockSolid Diet (by J.Rockermeier) 
  Here the description of his scientific work: 
  "Cancer as a metabolic disease" addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited.This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. 
  Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate. 
  This book comprises the opinion of Dr. Thomas Seyfried regarding the metabolic nature of cancer. He states, that it is not genetic, but a mitochondrial disease. 
  This book is NOT a summary of his original, scientific book. It's rather a collection of video transcripts, that summarize his point. With official permission, because we donate 25% of the royalties directly to his research!

  Long Island and the Legacy of...

  A Dark History Revealed
  In the early twentieth century, eugenics was at the forefront of scientific discourse in the quest to understand human genetics. On Long Island and throughout the nation, eugenicists were granted unfettered access to conduct experiments on prisoners, psychiatric patients, Coney Island circus performers and more, all in an effort to legitimize a false science. The origins of the eugenics movement can be found within the Eugenics Record Office, an otherwise nondescript two-and-a-half-story administrative building at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, under the direction of Charles Benedict Davenport from 1910 to 1939. The work conducted there directly led to the forced sterilization of thousands of American citizens and the passage of anti-immigration laws and sparked a deadly global movement.
  Author Mark Torres explores the local characters, influences, landmarks and ghastly consequences that emanated from this small Long Island facility for decades and spread throughout the world.
