  The book provides a comforting yet accurate overview of the anesthetic process for surgery, aimed at children who are injured and frightened about what to expect. It explains the journey from preoperative holding to the operating room and then to the post-anesthesia care unit. The narrative highlights the steps involved in anesthesia in a medically accurate yet fun and playful way, making the child feel as if they are embarking on a rocket ship ride under anesthesia. This process is portrayed as safe and guided by the anesthetist, who is depicted as a knowledgeable and compassionate guide. 
  The child is introduced to the medical equipment they will encounter, such as the face mask, reservoir bag, and vital sign monitors, making them appear approachable and less intimidating. Additionally, the anesthetist is portrayed as an "anesthesia angel" and a real-life superhero, alongside various other healthcare providers who are dedicated to helping and caring for the child. All medical personnel are in scrubs. Ultimately, the child undergoes an inhalational general anesthetic and emerges as their own "astronaut of anesthesia" superhero filled with pride and a beaming smile.

  Australia on the Brink

  In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, ‘Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction,’ and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best – perhaps our only – chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

  Drown out intrusive noises and immerse yourself in the wilderness with sounds of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak. 
  This audiobook features continuous background field recordings of natural bird sounds combined with ambient forest atmosphere. It is designed to support rest, productive focus, deep relaxation, and quiet meditation. 
  The soundscape is non-intrusive, steady, and intended for long-duration listening to help maintain a consistent and peaceful mental state. Ideal for use during work, studying, mindfulness practice, stress relief, or as a calming background environment throughout the day or night. 
  The Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) is a migratory songbird commonly found throughout eastern and central North America during the breeding season, wintering in Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. It inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, woodland edges, parks, and large gardens. It is known for its rich, melodious vocalizations, featuring clear whistles, flowing phrases, and a song often compared to that of the American Robin, but sweeter and more fluid. 
  In natural environments, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are most often heard during the early morning and throughout the daytime, especially in mature forests, woodland clearings, and tree-lined parks. Their beautiful songs contribute to the vibrant acoustic atmosphere of North American woodlands during spring and summer. 
  Visually, the Rose-breasted Grosbeak is recognized for its large, pale conical bill and striking plumage. Breeding males display a bold black-and-white body with a vivid rose-red triangular patch across the breast, while females are streaked brown and white with a prominent pale eyebrow stripe, providing excellent camouflage among trees and shrubs.

  Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets – everyone you’ve ever met… 
   
  With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it’s a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don’t betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions. 
   
  Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever? offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them – and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.
