  Thorium may be the most important element you've never heard of; one that could reshape the future of energy, water, food, and even space exploration. 
  Unlike uranium, thorium is abundant, safer to use, and capable of fueling molten salt reactors that run cleanly and efficiently. Imagine an energy source two hundred times more efficient than today's nuclear plants. A lifetime supply of fuel could fit in the palm of your hand. 
  In Thorium-Powered Abundance, Michael Lee Anderson reveals how this overlooked element could address humanity's most urgent challenges:Freshwater scarcity: Using reactor heat to power large-scale desalination.Food and agriculture: Supplying energy and fertilizer for thriving harvests.AI and data centers: Meeting the explosive demand for electricity in a digital age.Synthetic fuels: Producing jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline from seawater.Space colonization: Powering lunar bases, Martian greenhouses, and deep-space missions. 
  This book offers a clear, accessible look at the science, the economics, and the global opportunities for thorium. It also highlights the bold experiments and pilot projects already underway, and why now is the critical moment for action. 
  Whether you're an innovator, investor, policy leader, or simply a curious reader, this is a roadmap to a sustainable future powered by thorium. 
  This audiobook comes with a pdf of the full print book.

  Welfare of Future Children The:...

  Narrated by Rebecca Bennett, this open access practical guide to reproductive ethics navigates the complex subject of the policy around IVF treatment and disability screening based on the concerns around the welfare of future children. It focuses on 3 questions in order to examine these often complex philosophical issues: 
  · Should we allow prospective parents using IVF to implant an embryo with a condition considered to be a disability? 
  · Is routine screening for Down syndrome in pregnancy ethically acceptable, even if there is evidence that individuals may feel pressure to accept this screening? 
  · Are we justified in attempting to evaluate the potential parenting ability of those trying to access fertility treatment (e.g. disabled people or individuals with past criminal convictions) and prevent access in some cases? 
  Rebecca Bennett walks the listener through different answers to these questions, exploring issues such as whether it is ever morally wrong to reproduce, whether we have a moral obligation to try and bring the ‘best’ children we can into existence and how we can assess the quality of future lives.There is, of course, no consensus about what the ‘right’ answers are to these questions, however answers are needed. 
  This area of policy and regulation is one that, Bennett argues, is heavily influenced by intuition, social norms and bias. The Welfare of Future Children invites us to question these norms and to come to a position on these issues that emphasises reason, transparency and accountability.

  Minding the Climate - How...

  If we believe the climate crisis is real, why is it so difficult to change our behavior and our consumer tendencies? 
   
   
   
  Minding the Climate investigates this problem in the neuroscience of decision-making. Ann-Christine Duhaime, MD, points to the evolution of the human brain during eons of resource scarcity. The brain adapted to prioritize short-term survival over more uncertain long-term outcomes. But the resulting behavioral architecture is poorly suited to the present, when scarcity is a lesser concern and slow-moving challenges like environmental issues present the greatest danger. Duhaime details how even our acknowledged best interests are thwarted by the brain's reward system: if a behavior isn't perceived as immediately beneficial, we probably won't do it—never mind that we "know" we should. 
   
   
   
  Luckily, we can sway our brains, and those of others, to alter our behaviors. Duhaime describes concrete, achievable interventions that have been shown to encourage our neurological circuits to embrace new rewards. Such small, incremental steps that individuals take, whether in their roles as consumers, in the workplace, or in leadership positions, are necessary to mitigate climate change. The more we understand how our tendencies can be overridden by our brain's capacity to adapt, Duhaime argues, the more likely we are to have a future.
