    Brain research has been accelerating rapidly in recent decades, but the translation of our many discoveries into treatments and cures for brain disorders has not happened as many expected. We do not have cures for the vast majority of brain illnesses, and many medications we have to treat the brain are derived from drugs produced in the 1950s—before we knew much about the brain at all. Tackling brain disorders is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. What will it take to overcome it? Nicole Rust takes listeners along on her journey to answer this question. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on decades of experience, Rust reflects on how far we have come in our quest to unlock the secrets of the brain and what remains to be discovered. She shows us that treating a brain disorder is more like redirecting a hurricane than fixing a domino chain of cause and effect, arguing that only once we embrace the idea of the brain as a complex system do we have any hope of finding cures. Rust profiles the pioneering ideas about the brain that are driving research at the cutting edge to illuminate exactly how much we know about disorders—and what it will take to eradicate these scourges. 
     
     
     
    Elusive Cures sheds light on one of the most daunting challenges confronted by science while offering hope for revolutionary new treatments and cures for the brain.

    The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe. 
    It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe. 
    This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. 
    We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe. 
    There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm. 
    We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation. 
    I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.

    Mississippi rivers and creeks have shaped every aspect of the state's geology, ecology, economy, settlement, and politics. Mississippi's paddleways—its rivers, rills, creeks, and streams—are its arteries, its lifeblood, and the connective tissues that tie its stories and histories together and flood them with a sense of place and impel them along the current of time. The rivers provide structure for the telling of stories. In Paddleways of Mississippi: Rivers and People of the Magnolia State, listeners will discover flowing details of virtually every waterway in the state—the features, wildlife, vegetation, geology, hydrology, and specific challenges to be expected—alongside many wonderful historical and social accounts specific to each system. 
     
     
     
    Interviews and oral histories enliven these waterways with evocative scenery, engaging anecdotes, interesting historical tales, and personal accounts of the people and communities that arose along the waterways of Mississippi. Part natural history, part narrative nonfiction, Paddleways of Mississippi will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, naturalists, campers, and historians, and is suitable for novices as well as experts. Told together, the pieces included are a social and ecological history that exposes and deepens the connection coursing between the people and the rivers.
