Jellyfish Science explores the fascinating biology of jellyfish, creatures that capture our attention with their beauty and intrigue with their unique adaptations. The book delves into three core aspects: the powerful stinging mechanisms of nematocysts, which deliver toxins, the captivating phenomenon of bioluminescence used for defense and communication, and the remarkable regenerative abilities of some species, even hinting at biological immortality. Understanding these biological systems offers insights into marine life and potential innovations for medicine and materials science.

 
Beginning with a foundation in marine biology and evolutionary history, the book progresses through the intricacies of jellyfish biology. It dissects the nematocysts and their potential pharmaceutical applications, explores the chemistry and uses of bioluminescence in bioimaging, and examines the unusual life cycles that could influence aging research. Supported by scientific literature, experimental data, and genomic analyses, Jellyfish Science reveals how these seemingly simple organisms possess sophisticated biological systems with far-reaching implications.

    In an environment where aircraft move with split-second precision… and hundreds of systems operate simultaneously… maintaining command and control becomes the true weapon that protects the airport from chaos the moment a fire breaks out. 
Airport firefighting is not just water and foam… nor is it only advanced equipment or modern fire trucks. It is a complete leadership system that begins with the mind directing the incident, passes through the command unit that allocates resources, and reaches a response team that knows exactly what to do, where to move, and when to intervene. 
In this introduction, we step together into a different world… the world of sovereign fire leadership inside the airport — a place where confusion is not allowed, hesitation is unacceptable, and mistakes never get a second chance. 
In this program, you will learn: 
How the command and control system is built inside the airport. 
How the commander receives information and instantly transforms it into decisive action. 
How operations rooms, control towers, and firefighting teams function as a single unit. 
How resources are directed, communications are organized, and the golden time of the incident is managed. 
And how a crisis is controlled in one of the most sensitive environments on earth: a space where aircraft, passengers, fuel, and critical infrastructure all converge. 
You will explore global models of incident management — ICS, NIMS — and modern command systems used in high-density airports. 
You will learn how the fire commander thinks in the moment of truth, and how a firefighting plan moves from paper… to precise execution on the ground.

    The stories contained in 7 Foot Man Eating Chicken are meant to drive the listener around the  world of professional basketball as seen through the unusual tales of a sports agent.The chapters thankfully are not about me but rather delve into the sometimes surreal and bizarre situations and character's I have encountered during the 35 years I've spent representing over 200 professional basketball players both in the NBA and around the World. 
It's all meant in good fun with maybe an occasional flash of insight. That's the listener's decision.
