  The Brain Savers - How a Scrappy...

  A FULL CAST PERFORMANCE, FEATURING HOLLYWOOD ACTORS, SOUND EFFECTS, AND AN ORIGINAL SCORE! 
  From the authors of the New York Times bestseller, The Barefoot Spirit, and the Audie Award finalist, genre-bending audiobook of the same name, comes a story of vision and invention, failure and setbacks, mistakes and lessons. Business Audio Theatre presents a Sherwood Players Production, The Brain Savers, the true story of how a scrappy startup used technology to put the humanity of patients first and ended up changing medicine forever. 
  Amid the internet boom of the mid-2000s, a band of entrepreneurs stood at the intersection of medicine, technology, and business. They saw a solution to the crucial problems of emergency care, which was too often handicapped by underfunding, overscheduled specialists, archaic practices, and onerous equipment. Through pioneering telemedicine and new inventions like the portable CT scanner, the founders of Specialists on Call (S.O.C.) did more than just make emergency care better, faster, and more humane; they brought health care, which is often described as the slowest industry in America to change, into the 21st Century.   
  This is Dr. Colin McDonald’s story of how S.O.C. came to be. After leaving a cushy teaching position at Harvard, it took years of pursuing a single objective, then changing on a dime, to create S.O.C. In the end, what he created was a system that saved lives—and continues to save lives today. 
  Some of these hard-learned lessons are complex, while others are so timeless they almost sound cliché (“trust your vision and your moral compass, change when you must, just keep going”), but they are far from cliché for the founders of S.O.C. Theirs is a story of people with imagination and drive who wanted to make the world better, who trusted their ideas and each other, and who, despite everything, kept on going!

  Imagine being able to consume 250,000 calories daily without gaining weight. 
  If you had the metabolism of a shrew you could. And while most of us can't hold our breath for more than a few minutes, the Weddell seal can remain under water for a full 75 minutes! 
  Through many amazing examples, Why Geese Don't Get Obese discusses the mechanisms humans and other creatures have evolved to gauge their need for food; gather water and oxygen; circulate blood; regulate body temperature; respond to stressful situations; and maintain other survival needs. 
  Peppy prose and just the right amount of detail make this audio-book a delight and a fitting ode to the remarkable resilience of nature!

  Particle Physics - A Very Short...

  Particle physics is the branch of physics that explores the fundamental particles that constitute matter and the forces that govern their interactions. At its core, particle physics aims to understand the building blocks of the universe, which are invisible to the naked eye but form the essence of everything around us. This field of study delves into the smallest scale of nature, where particles like quarks, leptons, and bosons interact in ways that determine the structure and behavior of all matter. 
  The development of particle physics began with the early studies of atoms, but as scientific knowledge advanced, it became clear that atoms themselves were not indivisible. The discovery of the electron in the late 19th century marked the beginning of this journey. Subsequent advancements led to the identification of other subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons, which make up the atomic nucleus. These findings, however, were only the beginning, and as technology advanced, especially with the creation of particle accelerators, scientists began probing even deeper into the atomic structure. 
  A pivotal moment in particle physics came with the formulation of the Standard Model, a comprehensive theory that describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces and classifies all known elementary particles. According to the Standard Model, all matter is made up of fundamental particles, and their interactions are mediated by force-carrier particles called bosons. This model successfully explains the behavior of particles in a wide range of experiments, and it has been verified by numerous experiments, such as those conducted at large particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN in 2012 provided strong experimental confirmation of the Standard Model and earned the physicists involved the Nobel Prize.
