Summary

Insect Protein explores the potential of insects as a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources, addressing the growing need for environmentally friendly food production. It highlights the historical prevalence of entomophagy across cultures and delves into the nutritional composition of edible insects, comparing them favorably to conventional sources like beef and poultry. The book argues that widespread adoption of insect-based protein could revolutionize food systems and mitigate climate change, offering a viable solution to global food security challenges.

 
The book systematically builds a case for insect protein, beginning with an introduction to entomophagy and current consumption patterns. It then examines the environmental benefits of insect farming, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and land use, supported by lifecycle assessments. Further chapters detail the nutritional aspects of edible insects, including their protein content and amino acid profiles, while also addressing potential allergen concerns. Finally, the book explores the economic and social implications, including market opportunities and consumer acceptance.

 
Insect Protein draws on scientific studies, industry data, and case studies to provide a comprehensive and balanced perspective. It connects environmental science, nutrition, economics, and sociology to offer a fact-based and accessible analysis of the potential and challenges of insect protein. This resource is valuable for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in sustainable food sources.

    A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events 
 
 
 
In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span—from the Big Bang to the present day—in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the "rise of complexity" in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. 
 
 
 
Weaving together insights across the sciences—including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology—Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker's grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet's fate.

    Renowned by law enforcement and clinical mental health experts nationwide, Delete Me: D.S.M. 7 Steps to Social Media Abstinence, was formerly only circulated through DRUGFR33.ORG.  
Swipe left. It's time to delete the social media disease. There are currently no specialized treatments for social media addiction and anxiety type conditions attributed to social media usage. Whereas most "remedies" for social media abuse call for "vacations", "breaks", and "parental surveillance" from the applications, Delete Me refutes these methods as ineffective. Fortune 500 IT consultant & engineer turned clinical mental health researcher & crisis intervention counselor, J.A. Thomas insists that we’re far better off abstaining from the applications altogether. J.A. Thomas, MSW, who is one of a growing army of industry experts going offline, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to abandon these treacherous online platforms. J.A. Thomas left a lucrative career in Big Tech in pursuit of investigating online crime with law enforcement. Now a critical crisis intervention counselor, Thomas hopes to foster transparent public health information surrounding the dangers of social media usage and its links to severe mental health conditions and the illicit online sex & drug trades. The methodologies introduced in D.S.M. 7 insist in total abstinence from all social media applications as key to driving us towards richer and more meaningful ways of living by connecting us back to the world beyond the tiny blue screen. 
"Educational, engaging and life saving! J.A.Thomas sounds the alarm on the coercive and destructive force that is big social. This book will help you change your life for the better and allow you to proudly proclaim ... I'm offline." 
-Dr. J. S. Kastendiek | M.D. Clinical Psychiatry 
"This deserves the attention of all parents."

    This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. 
This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. 
What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. 
At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. 
After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised by what you can learn in a year’s time.

    Mysteries of the Social Brain describes the scientific underpinnings of human behavior and values. Through the retelling of fascinating clinical stories of people with neurological conditions, this book explores the parts of the brain that allow humans to thrive as social and creative beings. The authors reveal the relevance of our brain circuits to our well‑being―and the well‑being of our societies―and show what happens when changes in our brain circuitry drive changes in empathy, altruism, moral beliefs, and creativity. 
 
By integrating perspectives from neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience, the stories in this book offer novel insights into the inner workings of the social brain and reveal groundbreaking findings from work in frontotemporal dementia, emotion, and the science of human values. This book showcases the discovery that creativity can emerge when there is decline in the brain’s language systems, a finding that highlights the robust, yet underappreciated connections between science and art. Listeners will learn about the biological basis of social behavior as well as simple steps that they can take to improve the functioning of their own social brains. 
 
This book will captivate general listeners as well as clinicians and scientists who are interested in human social behavior, cognition, and emotion.
