  The award-winning journalist Lisa Margonelli, national bestselling author of Oil on the Brain: Petroleum's Long, Strange Trip to Your Tank, investigates the environmental and economic impact termites inflict on human societies in this fascinating examination of one of nature's most misunderstood insects. Are we more like termites than we ever imagined? In Underbug, the award-winning journalist Lisa Margonelli introduces us to the enigmatic creatures that collectively outweigh human beings ten to one and consume $40 billion worth of valuable stuff annually?and yet, in Margonelli's telling, seem weirdly familiar. Over the course of a decade-long obsession with the little bugs, Margonelli pokes around termite mounds and high-tech research facilities, closely watching biologists, roboticists, and geneticists. Her globe-trotting journey veers into uncharted territory, from evolutionary theory to Edwardian science literature to the military industrial complex. What begins as a natural history of the termite becomes a personal exploration of the unnatural future we're building, with darker observations on power, technology, historical trauma, and the limits of human cognition. Whether in Namibia or Cambridge, Arizona or Australia, Margonelli turns up astounding facts and raises provocative questions. Is a termite an individual or a unit of a superorganism? Can we harness the termite's properties to change the world? If we build termite-like swarming robots, will they inevitably destroy us? Is it possible to think without having a mind? Underbug burrows into these questions and many others?unearthing disquieting answers about the world's most underrated insect and what it means to be human.

  What if everything you've been told about PCOS only explained part of the story? 
  PCOS is one of the most common conditions affecting women—and one of the most misunderstood. 
  If you've ever felt frustrated by irregular periods, weight struggles, acne, unwanted hair growth, fertility challenges, or conflicting advice, you're not alone. Many women are diagnosed with PCOS but never receive a clear explanation of what's actually happening in their bodies. 
  In Not Broken —From PCOS to PMOS, board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Darine Moukalled breaks down the science of PCOS into clear, practical language that finally makes sense. You'll learn how hormones, insulin resistance, metabolism, fertility, and long-term health are connected—and what you can do to take control of your health with confidence. 
  The book also explores the evolving concept of PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), a term that better reflects the broader hormonal and metabolic nature of the condition beyond the ovaries alone. 
  Inside, you'll discover: 
  • Why PCOS symptoms happen—and why they can look different from one woman to another 
  • How insulin resistance affects weight, energy, hormones, and overall health 
  • What common lab tests really mean 
  • Evidence-based treatment options and how they work 
  • Strategies to support fertility, pregnancy, and reproductive health 
  • What to expect as PCOS evolves through midlife and menopause 
  • Practical steps to improve your health without chasing perfection 
  Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with PCOS for years, this audiobook will help you better understand your body, advocate for yourself, and make informed decisions about your health. 
  Most importantly, you'll learn that PCOS does not define you. 
  You are not broken. You deserve answers.
