  Syukuro Manabe is perhaps the leading pioneer of modern climate modeling. Beyond Global Warming is his compelling firsthand account of how the scientific community came to understand the human causes of climate change, and how numerical models using the world's most powerful computers have been instrumental to these vital discoveries. 
   
   
   
  Joined by atmospheric scientist Anthony Broccoli, Manabe shows how climate models have been used as virtual laboratories for examining the complex planetary interactions of atmosphere, ocean, and land. Manabe and Broccoli use these studies as the basis for a broader discussion of human-induced global warming—and what the future may hold for a warming planet. They tell the stories of early trailblazers such as Svante Arrhenius, the legendary Swedish scientist who created the first climate model of Earth more than a century ago, and they provide rare insights into Manabe's own groundbreaking work over the past five decades. Expertly walking readers through key breakthroughs, they explain why increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has caused temperatures to rise in the troposphere yet fall in the stratosphere, why the warming of the planet's surface differs by hemisphere, why drought is becoming more frequent in arid regions despite the global increase in precipitation, and much more.

  This book consists of two titles: 
  1: Electrical Engineering - Electrical engineering is a diverse and dynamic field that involves the study, design, and application of equipment, devices, and systems that use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It encompasses a wide range of sub-disciplines, including power engineering, electronics, control systems, signal processing, and telecommunications. 
  Electrical engineering is a broad and influential field that focuses on the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. It encompasses various sub-disciplines, each with its unique focus and applications. Here’s an overview of the main areas within electrical engineering: 
  Power engineering involves the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power. This area covers power generation through methods such as fossil fuels, nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable sources like solar and wind. It also includes high-voltage power transmission from plants to substations and distribution to consumers, along with the design and maintenance of power grids, load forecasting, and reliability. 
  2: Mechanical Engineering - Mechanical technology encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and tools used in the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This field merges principles from physics, engineering, and materials science to create and improve machinery and devices that perform specific functions. 
  The evolution of mechanical technology is a testament to human ingenuity, marked by significant innovations that have transformed societies and industries.

  You are what you eat

  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!

  For millennia, humanity has sought the secret to defying death. Only in recent decades, however, have we begun to unravel the complexities of aging, and conceived plausible technology paths to solving it. 
  Immortality or Death is a celebration of the remarkable strides made in aging research. This book offers a profound, comprehensive, and meticulously detailed exploration of our current understanding of aging, alongside the most advanced efforts to slow it down. With a critical eye, it debunks the allure of modern biohacking—the “false grail”—and shines a spotlight on the most promising scientific directions. Drawing on the systematization of over a thousand studies and research articles, Immortality or Death provides a balanced perspective, including healthy skepticism of pseudoscientific claims and optimism inspired by real scientific progress. 
  Beyond its scientific depth, Immortality or Death is an ode to human life itself, challenging the outdated notion that the pursuit of immortality or agelessness is the domain of mad tyrants or unethical scientists. The book champions this quest as a noble and deeply human endeavor, rooted in compassion and curiosity. Finally, it outlines both a scientific roadmap and social strategies to accelerate progress in humanity's ongoing battle against the injustice of death, encouraging readers to imagine a future where aging is no longer inevitable.
