A Billion Butterflies - A Life...

Dr. Jagadish Shukla

The amazing true story of the man behind modern weather predictionConsider a world without weather prediction. How would we know when to evacuate communities ahead of fires or floods, or figure out what to wear tomorrow? Until 40 years ago, we couldn’t forecast weather conditions beyond ten days. Renowned climate scientist Dr. Jagadish Shukla is largely to thank for modern weather forecasting. Born in rural India with no electricity, plumbing, or formal schools, he attended classes that were held in a cow shed. Shukla grew up amid turmoil: overwhelming monsoons, devastating droughts, and unpredictable crop yields. His drive brought him to the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, despite little experience. He then followed an unlikely path to MIT and Princeton, and the highest echelons of climate science. His work, which has enabled us to predict weather farther into the future than previously thought possible, allows us to feed more people, save lives, and hold on to hope in a warming world.Paired with his philanthropic endeavors and extreme dedication to the field, Dr. Shukla has been lauded internationally for his achievements, including a shared Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for his governmental research on climate change. A Billion Butterflies is a wondrous insider’s account of climate science and an unbelievable memoir of his life. Understanding dynamical seasonal prediction will change the way you experience a thunderstorm or interpret a forecast; understanding its origins and the remarkable story of the man who discovered it will change the way you see our world.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Hepatitis - Prevent and Manage...

Lilly Richardsen

Hepatitis is a term that refers to inflammation of the liver, a vital organ responsible for over 500 essential functions in the human body. These include processing nutrients, filtering toxins from the blood, and producing proteins necessary for blood clotting. When the liver becomes inflamed or damaged, these critical functions are compromised, often leading to serious health consequences. Hepatitis can arise from a variety of causes, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and autoimmune disorders.
Among the most common causes of hepatitis are viruses, which account for the five primary types of the disease: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each of these types has distinct modes of transmission, risk factors, and health outcomes. Some forms of hepatitis, like hepatitis A, are acute and self-limiting, while others, such as hepatitis B and C, can become chronic, leading to long-term complications like liver cirrhosis and cancer. The global impact of hepatitis is staggering, with millions of new cases reported annually and countless individuals living with chronic liver disease.
This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding, preventing, and managing hepatitis and related liver conditions. Whether you are seeking to protect yourself and your loved ones through preventative measures, coping with a recent diagnosis, or managing chronic liver disease, this resource is designed to offer practical advice, clear explanations, and up-to-date medical insights.
