  He was a cardiologist at the top of his game-until his own body turned on him. On an ordinary Monday, a sudden cramp in Dr. Deepak Thekkoott's leg sent him on a harrowing journey from healer to patient. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he was thrown into the chaos of hospitals, chemo, and confronting death-all while trying to hold his family, his faith, and his sense of self together. Silk and Clay: A Physician's Journey of Cancer, Survival, and Restored Faith is a richly layered narrative that weaves together medicine, memory, and migration-told with unflinching honesty and spiritual depth. It is about what it means to heal when the cure might kill you, and to carry centuries of culture and love through each brutal day. With sharp detail, searing vulnerability, and flashes of dry wit, Dr. Deepak invites us into a body broken, a spirit searching, and a soul that refuses to be undone.

  “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
  		 
  From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
  		 
  Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
  		 
  For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

Data are constantly moving, but only some information sticks. Book 2: You will be amazed at the things you’ll hear. In this guide, the author made sure that all the quick tricks and long-term strategies that work are listed. You will hear about various topics that cover the most important things you should do to improve your memory. Book 3: In this book are all the techniques you need to be a critical, smarter thinker. Intelligence can be developed and trained. Critical thinking is a skill many people have forsaken. They follow the masses, the media, the trends, or some role model they admire. However, when you think outside of the box and use pure logic to calculate your decisions, your life can be happier, more fulfilling, and more risk-free.

  An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
   
   
   
  Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
   
   
   
  A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.
