How the World Flows -...

Albert Folch

How the World Flows acts like a microscope that pulls the listener into the barely noticeable, Lilliputian world of fluids at small scales—the microfluidic world—and answers the question "What is microfluidics?" in non-technical language.Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers.This book also shows that many processes essential to life on Earth—such as the formation of raindrops, the rise of sap in plants, and the percolation of water through soil—are all microfluidic marvels. It examines how our cells breathe, feed, and fight diseases through small capillaries. Through engaging and digestible stories, Folch takes a lens to this tiny science and demonstrates how big a role microfluidics play in life as we know it.

Geratology - Understanding Old...

Mike Crawford

Geratology is the scientific study of aging, encompassing its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. While often confused with geriatrics, which focuses on medical care for older adults, geratology takes a broader approach, examining aging as a lifelong process that affects individuals and societies in complex ways. Understanding geratology is crucial as global life expectancy rises and aging populations reshape economic, healthcare, and social structures. 
The origins of geratology trace back to early philosophical and medical inquiries into longevity. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars explored aging as a natural phenomenon, while modern scientific advancements have provided deeper insights into the mechanisms of aging. Over the past century, geratology has evolved into an interdisciplinary field, drawing from biology, psychology, sociology, and public health to analyze how people age and how societies can better support aging populations. 
At its core, geratology investigates the biological changes that occur with age. These include cellular senescence, genetic factors, and the gradual decline of organ function. Research into longevity has uncovered key processes such as telomere shortening, oxidative stress, and the role of inflammation in age-related diseases. While aging is an inevitable process, scientific advancements continue to explore ways to slow its progression and improve quality of life in later years.
