Summary

Arctic Adaptation Marvels explores the remarkable biological adaptations that allow life to thrive in extreme polar environments. It delves into the survival strategies of various species, highlighting how they overcome challenges like freezing temperatures and limited resources.

A key focus is the examination of antifreeze proteins, which prevent ice crystal formation within cells, and the insulation mechanisms employed by animals like Arctic foxes to maintain body heat. Understanding these adaptations offers insights into the power of natural selection and its role in shaping life in sub-zero environments.

The book uniquely integrates physiological, biochemical, and ecological perspectives to provide a holistic view of polar survival. It presents scientific evidence from field studies and laboratory experiments, including unique electron microscopy images.

Readers will discover how metabolic adjustments, such as those seen in hibernating Arctic ground squirrels, allow animals to conserve energy during harsh conditions. These topics are not only crucial for polar biology but also have potential applications in areas like cryopreservation and medicine.

The book progresses from an introduction to the polar environment and its challenges, to detailed examinations of insulation, antifreeze proteins, and metabolic adjustments. It concludes by discussing the implications of these adaptations in the context of climate change and their potential applications in various scientific fields.

This comprehensive approach makes Arctic Adaptation Marvels a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life sciences, nature, and the incredible resilience of life in extreme environments.

Mental Health Inc - How...

Art Levine

Prizewinning investigative journalist Art Levine offers a no-holds-barred and crucial call to action for America’s broken mental health system. 
The mental health system in America is hardly a front-burner issue, despite lip-service about reform after a tragic mass killing. Yet every American should care deeply about fixing a system a presidential commission reported was in “shambles.” By some measures, about 20 percent of Americans have some sort of mental health condition, including the most vulnerable among us―veterans, children, the elderly, prisoners, and the homeless. With Mental Health, Inc., award-winning investigative journalist Art Levine delivers a Shock Doctrine–style exposé of the failures of our out-of-control, profits-driven mental health system, with a special emphasis on the failures of the pharmaceuticals industry, including the treatment of children with antipsychotics and disastrous PTSD protocols for veterans. 
Levine provides narrative portraits of victims and people who won unexpected victories against their illnesses by getting smart, personalized help, as well as snapshots of corrupt Big Pharma executives and researchers who created fraudulent marketing schemes. Levine also tells the dramatic David vs. Goliath stories of a few brave reformers, including Harvard-trained psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Stefan Kruszewski, who has acted as a whistle-blower in numerous cases, leading to major federal and state settlements, as well as spotlighting pioneering clinicians challenging outmoded, drug-and-sedate practices that leave 90 percent of people with serious mental illness too disabled to work. 
By taking a comprehensive look at mental health abuses and dangerous, ineffective practices as well as pointing toward solutions for creating a system for effective, proven, and compassionate care, Art Levine’s essential Mental Health, Inc. is a call to action for politicians and citizens alike.

Before We Go Live - Navigating...

Stephen Flavall

‘Starting out, I made three dollars an hour; then I made four, then eight. After a year and a half of streaming full-time I was finally making minimum wage. A couple of years after that I was signed to a professional team and advertising products to my audience for $1,000 an hour.’ 
Streaming video games is now a billion-dollar industry. In 2022, Twitch alone has over 140 million active monthly users, with top players earning millions each year. But success breeds envy, and when big money’s being made, everyone wants a piece. 
In Before We Go Live, professional streamer Stephen Flavall, aka ‘jorbs’, invites the reader behind the scenes of this new frontier. 
From the boardrooms of LA to doctors' offices in the Midwest, dealing with trolls and stalkers to mingling with crypto scammers and ruthless opportunists, Before We Go Live is both a true story about the dark realities of streaming and the tale of a deep and enduring friendship. 
It’s about what happens when real life intersects with entertainment, and learning to act with kindness and humour in an online world full of prejudice and abuse. 
This audiobook edition is narrated by Ray Chase, voice of Noctis Lucis Caelum, L, and Bruno Buccellatti.
