  Pharmacology is the study of drugs and their effects on the human body. It plays a pivotal role in healthcare by enabling healthcare professionals to understand how various substances interact with biological systems to treat diseases, alleviate symptoms, and improve patients' quality of life. The field encompasses drug development, mechanisms of action, therapeutic applications, and the risks associated with medications. Pharmacology is fundamental in determining the most appropriate treatments for different conditions, as well as understanding potential drug interactions, side effects, and the therapeutic index of each medication. 
  One key aspect of pharmacology is understanding the classification of drugs. Drugs can be classified based on their therapeutic use, chemical structure, or mechanism of action. This classification helps healthcare professionals identify suitable medications for specific conditions. For example, analgesics are used to relieve pain, while antibiotics are used to treat infections. Drugs can also be categorized based on their route of administration, such as oral, intravenous, or topical, which affects how they are absorbed and metabolized by the body. 
  Another important concept in pharmacology is pharmacokinetics, which refers to how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and excretes drugs. This process is influenced by various factors such as the patient’s age, health condition, and genetic factors. Pharmacodynamics, on the other hand, deals with the effects of drugs on the body and how they produce their therapeutic outcomes. Both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are essential for understanding the efficacy and safety of drugs.

  “Provocative and thrilling ... Loeb asks us to think big and to expect the unexpected.” 
  —Alan Lightman, New York Times bestselling author of Einstein’s Dreams and Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine 
   
  Harvard’s top astronomer lays out his controversial theory that our solar system was recently visited by advanced alien technology from a distant star. 
   
   In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization. 
   In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his controversial theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our species and our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars—and to think critically about what’s out there, no matter how strange it seems.

  An immersive, entertaining journey into the hidden life of the koala, revealing what life is really like up in the trees 
  Despite their iconic status and celebrity, koalas remain something of a mystery. Often affectionate in captivity, they seek out human assistance when in need of water or care yet can also be fierce and belligerent. They are beloved worldwide and feature in popular children’s stories, but are also plagued by sexually transmitted diseases and maligned for a lack of intelligence. Their diet consists solely of leaves that are full of toxins. In some states they are threatened with extinction, while in others they are dying from overpopulation. 
   
  Fuelled by her biologist’s background and deep curiosity, Danielle Clode delves into the world of koalas to discover what’s behind the sweet face on thousands of postcards. From their megafaunal ancestors to the disastrous effects of colonisation, from remarkable conservation success in the 1920s to the devastating bushfires of 2019–2020, Clode tells the story of koalas and their complex relationship with humans. Sharing the latest scientific insights and myth-busting facts, all woven through Clode’s award-winning storytelling, Koala takes readers up into the trees to reveal the truth about this extraordinary animal and what must be done to ensure its survival. 
   
  ‘The tree-dwelling koala is one of Australia's most iconic species, yet it is threatened by habitat loss. Danielle Clode, a natural storyteller, has written an insightful book that deepens our understanding of this fascinating animal and highlights the urgency of its survival.’ —PETER WOHLLEBEN, author of The Hidden Life of Trees
