  The Heat and the Fury - On the...

  Peter Schwartzstein

  As a journalist on the climate security beat, Peter Schwartzstein has been chased by kidnappers, badly beaten, detained by police, and told, in no uncertain terms, that he was no longer welcome in certain countries. Yet these personal brushes with violence are simply a hint of the conflict simmering in our warming world. 
   
   
    
  Schwartzstein has visited ravaged Iraqi towns where ISIS used drought as a recruiting tool and weapon of terror. And he has heard the fear in the voices of women from around the world who say their husbands' tempers flare when the temperature ticks up. 
   
   
    
  In The Heat and the Fury, he not only puts listeners on the frontlines of climate violence but gives us the context to make sense of seemingly senseless acts. As Schwartzstein deftly shows, climate change is often the spark that ignites long smoldering fires, the extra shove that pushes individuals, communities, and even nations over the line between frustration and lethal fury. What, he asks, can ratchet down the aggression? 
   
   
    
  Schwartzstein's incisive analysis of geopolitics, unparalleled on-the-ground reporting, and keen sense of human nature offer the clearest picture to date of the violence that threatens us all.

  The Insect Crisis - The Fall of...

  From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
   
   
   
  Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.

  The Phone Fix - The...

  What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
   
  Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
   
  NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
   
  Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.

  The Guide to Medical Diagnosis -...

  In medical diagnosis, understanding symptoms and signs is fundamental to identifying and treating illness. These two elements are the building blocks that guide healthcare professionals in determining the appropriate course of action. While often used interchangeably, symptoms and signs have distinct meanings in the diagnostic process. 
  Symptoms are subjective experiences reported by the patient. They include sensations like pain, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea that the patient feels but that cannot be directly observed by others. Symptoms are important because they are often the first clues that something is wrong in the body. Healthcare providers rely on detailed questioning to gather this information and help form a diagnosis. However, symptoms alone can be vague and nonspecific, making it crucial to follow up with a physical examination and additional diagnostic tests to confirm the cause. 
  Signs, on the other hand, are objective findings that can be observed, measured, or detected by healthcare professionals. These may include visible changes in the body such as swelling, rash, or jaundice, as well as measurable indicators like blood pressure readings or abnormal heart sounds. Unlike symptoms, signs do not depend on the patient’s report but are evident to the clinician. The ability to recognize signs accurately is critical in diagnosing conditions early and accurately.
