Synopsis

"Thermal Layer Science" explores the science of staying comfortable and performing your best in various weather conditions through strategic thermal layering. It delves into how layering impacts body temperature regulation and endurance, crucial for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. The book highlights the physics of heat transfer - conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

 
Understanding how the body reacts to thermal stress and how performance fabrics aid moisture wicking, insulation, and breathability is also key. Did you know that maintaining a stable core temperature is crucial for muscle function and cognitive performance?

 
The book systematically explores fabric layers, from base layers for moisture management to outer layers for weather protection. It analyzes how combining these layers creates a microclimate that balances heat retention and sweat evaporation.

 
Layering strategies for specific activities and conditions are developed considering intensity, duration, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. "Thermal Layer Science" draws on exercise physiology, materials science, and environmental medicine, presenting data from experiments and case studies to illustrate effective layering approaches.

 
This detailed, data-driven approach provides a framework for understanding how layering systems work.

Move - How the New Science of...

Caroline Williams

An eye-opening journey into the power of human movement and how we can harness it to optimize our brain health, boost our mood and improve every aspect our livesFor our earliest ancestors who hunted and gathered, movement meant survival. Our brains evolved to reward physical activity. Moving, thinking and feeling have always been inextricably linked.Yet what happens when we stop moving? Today, on average, we spend around 70% of our lives sitting or lying completely still. Our sedentary lifestyle—desk jobs, long commutes and lots of screen time—is not only bad for our bodies. It can also result in anxiety, depression and a lower overall IQ.But there’s good news. Even the simplest movements can reactivate our bodies and open up a hotline to our minds, improving our overall well-being and longevity. And we don’t have to spend countless hours in the gym. In fact, exercise as we understand it misses the point.Veteran science journalist Caroline Williams explores the cutting-edge research behind brain health and physical activity, interviewing scientists from around the world to completely reframe our relationship to movement. Along the way she reveals easy tricks that we could all use to improve our memory, maximize our creativity, strengthen our emotional literacy and more. A welcome counterpoint to the current mindfulness craze, Move offers a more stimulating and productive way of freeing our caged minds to live our best life.

You are what you eat

Brittany Forrester

For decades, the medical profession has advocated for nutritional management as a treatment strategy for various illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and excessive cholesterol. There are currently no such recommendations for brain aging and dementia.Nutrition was only recently accorded scientific-field status. Eating is a valid technique for defending oneself against brain aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's. Scientists have gradually realized the vital link between the foods we eat and our mental health. This insight has spawned a rapidly rising body of studies indicating that we may be eating our way to dementia.What has gone unreported until now is that, of all the organs in our bodies, the brain is the one most easily harmed by a poor diet. Everything in the brain, from its architecture to its ability to perform, begs for optimal nutrition. Many of us are ignorant that the only way to fuel the brain is through our food. The meals we eat are broken down into nutrients, absorbed into the bloodstream, and transported to the brain to replenish depleted stores, stimulate cellular responses, and, most critically, be incorporated into brain tissue.We are what we eat!
