  When the Wind Stops: Inside the...

  The world is racing to reinvent how it powers itself — yet every solution carries its own cost. Wind farms rise where wildlands once stretched untouched, lithium mines carve into deserts, and the dream of “clean” energy grows tangled in politics, inequality, and human ambition. 
  In When the Wind Stops, Alex Southwick takes readers behind the headlines of the global energy revolution. From Arctic oil rigs standing silent in thawing seas to the vast solar fields of Morocco and the wind-swept coasts of Denmark, Southwick meets the engineers, visionaries, and communities living through this historic shift. 
  This is not a simple story of progress or failure. It’s a portrait of transition — messy, imperfect, and deeply human. With characteristic clarity and empathy, Southwick explores what it means to change the very systems that built modern civilization, and the moral choices that come with it. 
  When the Wind Stops is a journey into the heart of our energy age — a reflection on power in every sense of the word, and a reminder that even as the wind falters, the will to adapt endures.

  WITH A FOREWORD FROM DAVE ASPREY, founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc and New York Times bestselling author  
  The practical guide to how to reverse polycystic kidney diseases, usually considered chronic and progressive, through a ketogenic diet and biohacker principles. 
  A unique guide to the strategies developed by Felix Mueller, expert patient, influencer and author, over the past nine years to reverse his own polycystic kidney disease, as well as that of numerous clients and followers. The book shows the simple and easy diet and lifestyle changes that PKD patients – written off as ‘incurable’ – can make to radically prolong their time to, or even completely stave off, dialysis or transplant, and explains the scientific backgrounds of why this approach works according to emerging, as well as long-established, science. The audiobook includes practical tips, daily routines, recipes, and a whole week meal plan as well as survival strategies for traveling and eating out without sacrificing kidney health in the process. Listeners will learn that, contrary to popular belief, having PKD does not mean living in constant nutrient deficiency, but that food abundance can also lead to better health and even achieving the ultimate goal: drastically improving their kidney function and even size. 
  "Felix’s story is a vivid illustration of how the principles of biohacking can be tailored to improve even genetic conditions which some people believe to be incurable. By harnessing a state of intermittent ketosis and fasting combined with highly nutritious foods, he has uncovered a profound truth: our genetic destiny is not a script that is set in stone but a narrative that we can rewrite with the right diet, lifestyle and supplementation."―Dave Asprey, author of The New York Times Bestseller The Bulletproof diet

  Gunpowder and the Printing...

  In addition to the wheelbarrow, the seismograph, the waterwheel, deep drilling, suspension bridges, and ship rudders, among countless other life-changing contraptions, the Chinese developed what were later dubbed the “Four Great Inventions of China.” Two of those were gunpowder and printing, which both spread through South Asia and the Middle East before making it to Europe.  
  For a time, gunpowder was a mere curiosity, but its destructive power and military potential would be realized quickly. The first record of a cannon in Europe comes from a manuscript written in 1326, which has an illustration showing an armored man with what looks like a slow match lighting a vase-shaped object. This crude cannon was called a pot de fer in French and vasi in Italian. While medieval engineers developed new types of cannons and explosives capable of destroying walls and castles, others were making the first handguns possible. European sources first mentioned the widespread use of handgonnes, as they were often called, in the late 14th century, precisely the time when gunpowder became cheaper.  
  	The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life.
