  Cool - How Air Conditioning...

  Salvatore Basile

  "[A] history of air conditioning, chronicling the numerous gimmicks, failed attempts, con jobs, and eventual successes . . . a surprisingly interesting journey." —San Francisco Book Review 
   
   
    
  The air conditioner is often hailed as one of the modern world's greatest inventions—yet nearly as often blamed for global disaster. It has changed everything from architecture to people's food habits; saved countless lives, and caused countless deaths. First appearing in 1902, when Willis Carrier, an engineer barely out of college, developed the "Apparatus for Treating Air," everyone assumed it would instantly change the world. But the story of air conditioning and its rise to ubiquity is far from simple. 
   
   
    
  In Cool, Salvatore Basile tracks two fascinating stories: the struggle to perfect an effective cooling device, and the effort to convince people that they actually needed such a thing. With a cast of characters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Richard Nixon and Felix the Cat, Cool showcases the myriad reactions to air conditioning as it was developed and introduced to the world. Here is a unique perspective on a common convenience: how we came to rely on it today, and how it might change radically tomorrow.

  What We Know about Climate...

  Kerry Emanuel

  This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).
  
  
  
  This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.
  
  
  
  What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  A shoulder dislocation can be over in minutes. The questions it leaves behind can last much longer. 
  Will it happen again? Was something torn? Do I need surgery? Can I return to sport? And can I trust my shoulder again? 
  Understanding Shoulder Instability gives patients clear, practical answers to these questions. 
  Written by consultant orthopaedic shoulder surgeon Professor Mohamed A. Imam, this accessible guide explains what happens when a shoulder dislocates, why some shoulders become repeatedly unstable, how doctors interpret scans, and how treatment decisions are made. 
  Using straightforward language and clear illustrations, the book takes readers from the first dislocation through diagnosis, rehabilitation, surgery and return to everyday life and sport. 
  Readers will discover: 
  • What shoulder instability, subluxation and dislocation actually mean 
   • Why some shoulders repeatedly come out 
   • What Bankart and Hill-Sachs lesions are 
   • How MRI, CT and other investigations influence treatment 
   • Why on-track and off-track lesions matter 
   • When rehabilitation may be enough 
   • When surgery should be considered 
   • How Bankart repair, Remplissage, Latarjet and bone-block procedures work 
   • How surgeons use the BoTH classification when choosing treatment 
   • Practical advice for sleeping, driving, working, lifting and everyday activities 
   • How rehabilitation progresses after injury or surgery 
   • How to approach a safe return to sport 
  The book also addresses posterior, atraumatic and multidirectional instability and includes a glossary, practical questions to take to appointments and guidance on when to seek further medical attention.  
  Designed for patients and families rather than specialists, Understanding Shoulder Instability helps readers understand the reasoning behind their treatment so they can have better-informed conversations with their healthcare team. 
  Clear information. Better questions. More confident decisions.
