  “Football’s massive popularity is undeniable, as are the many reasons players and fans are drawn to the game. But what is also undeniable is the game’s brutality and the troubling aspects of football culture at all levels. To whatever extent the reader shares Irv Muchnick’s perspective and conclusions, the evidence and arguments he presents deserve thoughtful attention.” — Bob Costas, Emmy Award–winning sportscaster 
  		 
  “Muchnick’s jeremiad digs deeper than ever into the greed and hypocrisy of high school and college football, and the trail of broken bodies left in their wake. His information on the perils of conditioning is essential reading and might save your kid’s life.” — Robert Lipsyte, author of The Contender and SportsWorld
  		 
  Football’s concussion crisis is well known, with our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that kid players across the continent die every year before a single ball is snapped — just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? And then, when the unimaginable happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims’ families, and moves on …
  		 
  Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads presents the shocking stories of young men struck down by exertional heatstroke and other, often unacknowledged, causes. Taking the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport’s underreported worst tragedies and cover-ups it makes the case that no matter how much we enjoy America’s most popular sport at elite levels it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.

  Trained as a vet in Edinburgh, Hugh Cran set off to Kenya and spent the next 50 years at the sharp end, treating cattle of Maasai herdsmen, wild animals, horses and pets of ex-pats and the military, the government and everyone in-between. Travelling miles on rough roads, performing impromptu surgery by torchlight and with dirty water, Hugh fell in love with the chaotic life and the colourful people he worked for, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.

  Atoms Unleashed - Fusion's...

  Fusion energy, often described as the “holy grail” of power sources, holds the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity and tackle global energy challenges. At its core, fusion is the process that powers the sun and stars, where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. The promise of harnessing this natural phenomenon for human use is one of the most exciting scientific endeavors of our time. 
  The appeal of fusion energy lies in its virtually limitless potential. Unlike conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation, fusion uses fuels like deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen that are abundant in water and lithium. These fuels are not only plentiful, but the fusion process produces no greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste, making it an incredibly clean energy source. In theory, fusion could provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, helping to meet the world’s growing demand while reducing the environmental impacts associated with other forms of energy production. 
  In addition to its environmental benefits, fusion energy promises to be a game-changer for energy security. As the global population increases and industrialization expands, the demand for energy will continue to rise. Traditional sources like coal, oil, and natural gas are becoming increasingly insufficient, both in terms of supply and sustainability. Nuclear fission, while capable of generating large amounts of energy, carries significant risks, such as nuclear accidents and the challenge of radioactive waste disposal. Fusion, on the other hand, offers a potentially safer alternative, with no risk of runaway reactions and no long-term waste problems.

  This book offers an in-depth exploration of a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition known as a myocardial bridge, a condition present in roughly one in four people, though only a small percentage experience symptoms. The author, who has firsthand experience with the condition and its surgical treatment, provides a unique perspective on living with and overcoming this often misunderstood malady. 
  Drawing from transcripts of the podcast of the same name, the book includes compelling interviews with leading cardiac surgeons specializing in the controversial "unroofing" procedure, as well as stories from patients who have undergone the surgery. Together, these narratives paint a comprehensive picture of the procedure’s success and its life-changing, potentially life-saving effects on those treated. 
   Beyond personal and patient stories, the book challenges traditional medical approaches to diagnosing and treating myocardial bridges. It advocates for a shift in how the medical community views this condition, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment options while offering hope to those struggling with symptoms. 
  With its blend of personal insight, expert commentary, and patient experiences, this book seeks to educate, inspire, and transform the conversation around myocardial bridges.
