    To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? 
     
     
     
    In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.

    Myology is the scientific study of muscles, their structure, function, and role in movement. Muscles are fundamental to human life, enabling everything from basic motions such as breathing and walking to complex athletic performances. Without muscles, the human body would be incapable of movement, stability, or even essential functions such as circulation and digestion. Understanding myology provides valuable insight into how the body operates, adapts, and responds to physical demands. 
    The importance of studying muscles extends beyond movement. Myology is crucial in various fields, including medicine, sports science, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Muscle health affects overall well-being, influencing strength, endurance, posture, and even metabolic function. For athletes, understanding muscle mechanics helps optimize performance and prevent injuries. In the medical field, myology plays a key role in diagnosing and treating muscular disorders, ranging from simple strains to complex neuromuscular diseases. 
    The study of muscles dates back thousands of years. Ancient Greek physicians, including Hippocrates and Galen, laid the groundwork for myology, describing muscle function in relation to human anatomy. Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical drawings provided further insights into muscle structure and movement. As medical knowledge advanced, scientists discovered the microscopic components of muscles, leading to a deeper understanding of their biochemical and physiological properties. Today, modern technology, such as electromyography (EMG) and imaging techniques, allows researchers to study muscle function in greater detail than ever before.

    2019 closed a decade smoothly in most countries, but an unexpected complication that would change people’s lives worldwide, was slowly brewing. By November, a new virus, similar to many we have faced before, yet hitting harder than many would expect, began to spread across China. By January, the numbers the large country faced were alarming, and the first cases began to appear in far-away countries. By March, things had gotten so out of hand, there were half a million reported cases worldwide, with numbers increasing at an uncontrollable rate in many countries that underestimated the virus’ potential, costing the lives of many individuals. This sudden change in people’s lifestyles (which happened from one day to the next for many), meant a huge, unexpected need for adjustment that pretty much left them with their heads spinning.
