  In this radically optimistic climate change book, find yourself empowered to achieve sustainable living across every facet of your life—the personal, the professional, and the political. 
    
  “Never has decisive action on climate and environment been more important. This book will help citizens understand that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something—and offers a myriad of ways they can get started too.” —Dr. Trista Patterson, Time100 Climate Leader, 2023, and co-founder of Playing for the Planet 
    
  Charlie Sellars pulls insight from his experience as a director of sustainability at Microsoft, which has underlined its commitment to be a green business with a pledge to become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030 while protecting ecosystems. He also serves on the governing body of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize digital infrastructure. 
    
  Inside this sustainable living book, you will learn how to: 
   - Harness environmental science to make more sustainable decisions using the “Make It, Move It, Lose It, Use It” impact framework. 
   - Turn your job into a sustainability job, no matter what you do for a living. 
   - Unleash the power of your voice at the ballot box and in your local community. 
    
  This refreshingly optimistic environmental book for adults and recent graduates makes for a great climate change gift, like Hannah Ritchie’s Not the End of the World and Katharine Hayhoe’s Saving Us. 
     
  Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. It’s not too late to defeat the climate crisis, and What We Can Do will show you how. 
  “What We Can Do brings cutting-edge sustainability techniques used by chief sustainability officers into the hands and context of everyday individuals. The result? A book that finally empowers readers to maximize their impact across every facet of their lives” —Ann Tracy, chief sustainability officer, Colgate-Palmolive

  Rheumatology - The Study of Joints

  Rheumatology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that impact the musculoskeletal system. Rheumatologists play a crucial role in managing these conditions, often working alongside other specialists to provide comprehensive care. The field has evolved significantly over time, with advancements in research leading to better treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes. 
  The history of rheumatology dates back centuries, though early physicians lacked a clear understanding of joint diseases. In ancient times, conditions such as gout and arthritis were recognized, but treatments were largely ineffective. The field gained scientific recognition in the 20th century with the identification of autoimmune mechanisms underlying many rheumatic diseases. The development of imaging techniques, laboratory tests, and targeted therapies has transformed rheumatology into a more precise and effective medical discipline. Today, research continues to uncover new insights into the genetic, environmental, and immunological factors that contribute to these conditions.

  Patterns in Nature - The...

  What species occur where, and why, and why some places harbor more species than others are basic questions for ecologists. Some species simply live in different places: fish live underwater; birds do not. Adaptations follow: most fish have gills; birds have lungs. But as Patterns in Nature reveals, not all patterns are so trivial. Travel from island to island and the species change. Travel along any gradient—up a mountain, from forest into desert, from low tide to high tide on a shoreline —and again the species change, sometimes abruptly. What explains the patterns of these distributions? Some patterns might be as random as a coin toss. But as with a coin toss, can ecologists differentiate associations caused by a multiplicity of complex, idiosyncratic factors from those structured by some unidentified but simple mechanisms? Can simple mechanisms that structure communities be inferred from observations of which species associations naturally occur? For decades, community ecologists have debated about whether the patterns are random or show the geographically pervasive effect of competition between species. Bringing this vigorous debate up to date, this book undertakes the identification and interpretation of nature’s large-scale patterns of species co-occurrence to offer insight into how nature truly works.Patterns in Nature explains the computing and conceptual advances that allow us to explore these issues. It forces us to reexamine assumptions about species distribution patterns and will be of vital importance to ecologists and conservationists alike.

  A Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains what happened at the very beginning of the universe, and how we know, in this popular science classic.  Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years. But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence.In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the Planck Epoch - the earliest period of time in the history of the universe - and goes through Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Hubble Red Shift, and the detection of the Cosmic Microwave Background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation for what we now understand as the "standard model" of the origin of the universe. The First Three Minutes examines not only what this model looks like, but also tells the exciting story of the bold thinkers who put it together.  Clearly and accessibly written, The First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed explanation of where it is that everything really comes from.

  How the World Flows -...

  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.
