  At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year—a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months—is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That’s next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian’s double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life.

  Toxicology - Poison and Its...

  Toxicology, the study of poisons and their effects on living organisms, has deep historical roots dating back thousands of years. The earliest civilizations recognized the dangers of certain substances and documented their effects, often intertwining them with myths, medicine, and warfare. The origins of toxicology can be traced to ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome, where early scholars and physicians laid the groundwork for what would eventually become a scientific discipline. 
  Ancient Egyptian texts, such as the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1550 BCE), contain some of the earliest references to poisons, including plant-based toxins and venomous animal bites. Egyptian priests and physicians were aware of toxic substances, both as medicinal agents and as potential means of assassination. Similarly, Mesopotamian records describe the use of poisons in both healing practices and criminal activities. 
  In ancient Greece, the philosopher and physician Hippocrates (circa 460–370 BCE) discussed the effects of poisons and the importance of dosage in determining whether a substance was harmful or beneficial. His work influenced later Greek and Roman physicians, including Dioscorides, a first-century CE pharmacologist who compiled De Materia Medica, an extensive guide to medicinal and poisonous substances derived from plants, animals, and minerals. The Greek philosopher Theophrastus (circa 371–287 BCE) also contributed to early toxicology by documenting the properties of various poisonous plants.

  The Seven Measures of the World

  From the beginning of history, measurement has been interwoven into the human experience, shaping our understanding of nature, personal relationships, and the supernatural. We measure the world to know our past, comprehend the present, and plan the future. 
   
   
   
  Renowned physicist Piero Martin explores how scientific knowledge is built around seven key pillars of measurement: the meter for length; the second for time; the kilogram for mass; the kelvin for temperature; the ampere for electricity; the mole for quantity of substance; and the candela for luminous intensity. Martin examines the history and function of these units and illustrates their applications in rich vignettes on a range of topics—from quarks to black holes, from a glass of wine to space exploration. He delves into not only the all-important numbers but also anecdotes that underline each unit's special quality. At the same time, he explains how each unit contributes to important aspects of science, from classical physics to quantum mechanics, from relativity to chemistry, from cosmology to elementary particle physics, and from medicine to modern technology. Martin eloquently shows how the entire universe can be measured and understood using just seven units.
