Sinopsis

In "Recent Research on Radioactivity," Pierre Curie offers an illuminating examination of the burgeoning field of radioactivity, a subject that ignited the scientific imagination in the early 20th century. Combining rigorous experimentation with theoretical inquiry, Curie's work employs a clear, methodical prose style that reflects both his scientific precision and profound curiosity. The book discusses groundbreaking discoveries, including the nature of radioactive emissions and their implications for both science and society, situating these advancements within the broader context of the emerging atomic theories of the era. Pierre Curie, a distinguished physicist and Nobel laureate, profoundly influenced the study of radioactivity alongside his wife, Marie Curie. His work, emerging during a time of rapid scientific development, underscores the collaborative spirit of research and the importance of interdisciplinary approaches. Curie's deep respect for empirical evidence and his commitment to advancing human knowledge propelled him to investigate the intricacies of atomic behavior, offering insights that would lay the groundwork for future innovations in physics and medicine. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the intersections of science and society. Curie's meticulous documentation of experimental methodology and results not only enriches the historical narrative of radioactivity but also invites readers to contemplate the ethical responsibilities that accompany scientific discovery. Engage with this seminal work to better understand the legacy of a pivotal figure in modern science.

    As an engineer and student of science I try to keep up with publications of the latest discoveries and paradigm shifts in science around the world. 
    I believe that there are several big problems with science today. First is that much science is biased which might be because some scientists want to keep their point of view prominent and the others because many focuses of science are supported by biased funding. This will be discussed in this book. 
    The other issue is that many scientists limit their thinking to only support age old paradigms and refuse to accept changes to their theories or throw out evidence because it doesn’t conform their current beliefs. 
    In this book we will cover many issues such as the belief among many cosmologists that the Big Bang never happened. 
    We will also look at ideas we thought settled but which have lots of contrary evidence and anecdotal counter stories such as time travel and dimensional crossings. 
    After you read this book you may question much of what is commonly accepted by scientists in the world today.

    2022 Genesis Prize Laureate 
    The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer’s Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla. 
    A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made “the impossible possible”—creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.  
    Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer’s success wasn’t due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values—Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy. 
    Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances—how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world’s largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists, and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer’s implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, “I am sharing the story of our moonshot—the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen—in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be.”

    A sweeping biography of the visionary behind bone marrow transplantation and the story of the diseases cured by Don Thomas's discovery. In the last half of the twentieth century, Thomas himself discovered a cure for every marrow-based disease—like leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia—forever changing treatment for some of the deadliest illnesses. His feats were extraordinary, earning him a Nobel Prize, and the cascade of treatments he inspired have reshaped and will continue to reshape the practice of clinical medicine. Yet no one has ever written Thomas’s courageous story. Dr. Frederick R. Appelbaum, a member of Thomas’s research team, does so for the first time in Living Medicine: Don Thomas, Marrow Transplantation, and the Cell Therapy Revolution. Bone marrow transplantation has now saved over a million lives, but when Thomas first had the idea, he was met with disbelief by the scientific community. Appelbaum, informed by decades in the field and personal connection with Thomas, tells us the secrets to Thomas’s success: his unique characteristics, how he created an effective team of researchers, and how he overcame the technical obstacles of marrow transplantation. Appelbaum tells a bigger story, too, of the scientific and societal implications of this achievement, which are critical for scientific and lay readers alike so that we all might be better informed of how far our medical progress has come and will go.
