  Renewable Energy - A Very Short...

  Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and affordable sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial. Renewable energy is recognized as providing the answer, with countries from around the world deciding at COP28 in 2023 to aim to triple the global renewable energy capacity by 2030, for the transition away from fossil fields to be on track for net-zero emissions by 2050.This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver. It also discusses the relatively small contributions expected from tidal, wave, geothermal, and nuclear power, and from carbon capture and storage. Electrification of buildings, industry, and transport for net-zero will roughly triple the supply of electricity, and this can be met predominantly by solar PV and wind power.The learning effect has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of wind and solar PV power in the last decade, making them the cheapest generators of electricity in most parts of the world. The Very Short Introduction ends by discussing the actions needed that include strong consistent policies, financial initiatives to take advantage of the long-term benefits of renewables, and good community involvement.

  A Protest Against Parkinson’s -...

  Parkinson’s disease (PD) is more than a medical condition, it is a rapidly growing global health crisis. Since 1990, the number of diagnosed cases has increased by about 118%, while deaths have risen by roughly 150%. By 2040, more than 20 million people worldwide are expected to be living with Parkinson’s. Despite these alarming trends, many patients feel that current treatments offer limited long-term hope. 
  In A Protest Against Parkinson’s, the author, himself living with Parkinson’s, offers a candid and deeply personal account of the disease. Drawing on both personal experience and extensive research, he describes the physical and psychological realities of Parkinson’s in a way rarely addressed in traditional medical texts. The book explores the frustrations surrounding levodopa, the long-standing “gold standard” treatment. While levodopa can provide significant short-term symptom relief, many patients experience diminishing benefits over time along with difficult side effects. 
  The book argues that the early success of levodopa may have unintentionally slowed the search for more fundamental solutions. For decades, research focused largely on improving dopamine replacement rather than finding ways to slow, stop, or reverse the disease itself. 
  Yet the book is not merely critical, it is also hopeful. The author examines emerging research and alternative approaches that may help slow the progression of Parkinson’s. These include exercise, carefully selected supplements, lifestyle changes, and strategies that may allow patients to delay or complement traditional medications. While these approaches are not cures, they may help some patients improve symptoms and extend quality of life. 
  Ultimately, the book is both a personal testimony and a call to action. It challenges common assumptions about Parkinson’s and encourages patients to remain proactive, informed, and hopeful while the search for a true cure continues.
