Synopsis

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.

    Palliative care is a specialized approach to medical care that focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals facing serious, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses. Unlike curative treatments aimed at eradicating disease, palliative care prioritizes symptom management, pain relief, and holistic support for both patients and their families. This field of healthcare is rooted in compassion, emphasizing dignity, comfort, and individualized care tailored to the needs of each patient. 
    The principles of palliative care are guided by a patient-centered philosophy that considers physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. It is not limited to end-of-life situations but can be integrated alongside curative treatments at any stage of a serious illness. Patients suffering from conditions such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s can benefit from palliative interventions. The goal is to enhance quality of life, alleviate distress, and provide support to both the patient and their loved ones. 
    A defining feature of palliative care is its interdisciplinary approach. A team of healthcare professionals—including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and therapists—collaborates to address the complex needs of patients. This holistic model ensures that care extends beyond the physical symptoms of illness to include emotional and psychological support. Effective communication is essential in palliative care, as clinicians must navigate sensitive conversations about prognosis, treatment goals, and advance care planning. By fostering open dialogue, healthcare providers empower patients to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.

    A groundbreaking compendium honoring the amazing true stories of fifty inspirational women who helped fuel some of the greatest achievements in space exploration from the nineteenth century to today—including Hidden Figure’s Mary Jackson and Katherine Johnson as well as former NASA Chief Astronaut Peggy Whitson, the record-holding American biochemistry researcher who has spent the most cumulative time in space. 
    When Neil Armstrong stepped off the ladder of the lunar module, Eagle, he famously spoke of “one small step for man.” But Armstrong would not have reached the moon without the help of women. Today, females across the earth and above it—astronauts and mathematicians, engineers and physicists, test pilots and aerospace psychophysiologists—are pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, helping us to understand the universe and our place in it. Galaxy Girls celebrates more than four dozen extraordinary women from around the globe whose contributions have been fundamental to the story of humankind’s quest to reach the stars. 
    From Ada Lovelace in the nineteenth century to the “colored computers” behind the Apollo missions, from the astronauts breaking records on the International Space Station to the scientific pioneers blazing the way to Mars, Galaxy Girls goes boldly where few books have gone before, celebrating this band of heroic sisters and their remarkable and often little known scientific achievements. Written by Libby Jackson, a leading British expert in human space flight, Galaxy Girls will fire the imaginations of trailblazers of all ages.
