Summary

A Crisis Like No Other: Understanding and Defeating Global Warming couples engaging and creative storytelling with accurate details to explain global warming. It covers both the technical and human issues of global warming by addressing what's causing global warming, and why people don’t believe it exists. The book tells readers how to convince others that global warming is not only real, but life-threatening, and offers a clearly laid out path to solve it. The book is accurate and carefully researched, drawing on the author's thirty years studying the science of global warming, and the human psyche that surrounds it. The author breaks down the subject into four parts, which can be thought of as four mini-books in one. The first part covers the psychology of global warming denial, how to defend ourselves against its lies and fake news, and how to convince others of global warming’s grave harm. The second part describes exactly what global warming is. The third answers the question what makes us so sure? Finally, the last part provides a road map showing us how to defeat global warming. This book is comprehensive, fast paced, and easily accessible to readers from all walks of life. It provides an overview of everything one needs to know about global warming and, as such, is an excellent survey of global warming topics. In addition to being an easy and enjoyable read for the general public, A Crisis Like No Other: Understanding and Defeating Global Warming serves as a handy primer on climate change for environmental science classes.

    “Written with grace and emotional honesty, Sit, Stay, Heal will live with you long after the last page.”— John Grogan, bestselling author of Marley & Me 
    For more than two decades, esteemed veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf treated cancer in her beloved canine patients. Then, at age fifty-one, she was diagnosed with cancer herself. 
    Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well is Dr. Renee’s unforgettable testament to the extraordinary healing nature of dogs. Every day in her veterinary practice, she bears witness to the undeniable bond between pets and their people. However, while we are busy teaching them to “sit” and “stay,” they have their own, more profound, lessons to impart. In Sit, Stay, Heal, we meet Cosmo, the golden retriever who arrives at Renee’s office just before his fourteenth family vacation to the beach; Daisy, the cocker spaniel, an emotional support dog for a special needs child; and Franny, the bloodhound, a police dog who wasn’t ready to retire from the force. Then there’s Dr. Renee’s own dog Newtie, who falls ill when she needs him most. 
    Our dogs are wise in ways humans are not. For Dr. Renee, it was her patients—those furry, four-legged, slobbering animals—who seemed to uniquely understand her difficult journey and who showed her the true power of positivity and unconditional love. Full of life lessons and healing metaphors, perfect dogs and their imperfect humans, Sit, Stay, Heal is a captivating, heartwarming story for dog lovers far and wide.

    How Did Huge Dinosaurs Fit on the Ark?Are Dinosaurs and Dragons the Same Thing?How Do I Use the Bible as the Framework to Look at Dinosaurs?Were Dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark (and Did Any Go Extinct Before the Flood)?Are Dinosaur Fossils in the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic Rock Millions of Years Old or from the Flood?Why Don’t We Find the Word “Dinosaur” in the Bible?Are There Any Human and Dinosaur Fossils Buried Together?

  • Digital Niche Marketing - Targeting the Right Audience for Maximum Impact - cover

    Digital Niche Marketing -...

    Digital niche marketing is a focused marketing strategy that targets a specific, often smaller segment of a broader audience. Unlike traditional, mass-market approaches that aim to reach as many people as possible, niche marketing hones in on groups with distinct interests, needs, or lifestyles. By tailoring campaigns to resonate with these unique groups, brands can foster stronger connections, drive higher engagement, and establish themselves as trusted experts within a particular domain. This approach helps brands stand out in an oversaturated digital environment, where audiences are increasingly selective about what content they engage with and trust. 
    A central feature of digital niche marketing is its emphasis on relevance. By developing content, messages, and offerings that directly speak to the values, preferences, and challenges of a particular group, businesses can achieve a higher level of personalization. For example, a skincare brand might focus exclusively on consumers with sensitive skin, designing its messaging and products to address the specific needs of that audience. This focus not only appeals to a select group but also builds credibility, as audiences perceive that the brand understands their needs on a deeper level. 
    Digital niche marketing thrives on digital channels that enable precise audience targeting. Social media platforms, search engines, and specialized forums or communities allow brands to interact directly with their niche audience. Tools like Google Ads, Facebook Audience Insights, and email marketing analytics offer data on audience behavior, allowing businesses to refine and adjust their campaigns in real time. These tools also make it feasible for smaller companies to compete with larger ones, as they can concentrate resources on a well-defined market segment rather than spreading efforts across a broad, often competitive field.

  • Why Am I Taller? - What Happens to an Astronaut's Body in Space - cover

    Why Am I Taller? - What Happens...

    Is the human body built for Mars? NASA's studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there's the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love. 
     
     
     
    Space doctors are on the case. You'll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body? 
     
     
     
    As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in "partial gravity." How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.

    What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting? 
    Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia. 
    A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached. 
    This moving story is part personal diary, part scientific treatise and part practical guide, woven together with humorous anecdotes. Above all, it’s an inspiring account of a daughter in search of her father: the man beyond the grief, despair, depression and dementia. 
    This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us? 
    Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing? 
    The answer is an unequivocal YES! 
    Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life. 
    ‘Who would have thought that dementia could be such an adventure—that adventure, in fact, prevents dementia!’ Dr Sarah Woodbury FRANZCOG
