  Dad Brain - The New Science of...

  A groundbreaking scientific exploration of fatherhood that explains the biology of caregiving and redefines what it means to be a “good dad”Over the last decade, researchers have discovered that having a child profoundly transforms our brains, hormones, and sense of self. Most studies have (understandably) focused on mothers. Until recently, the transition to fatherhood has been overlooked.Now, in Dad Brain, University of Southern California Professor Darby Saxbe draws on her field-leading research on families to revolutionize our understanding of fatherhood. As Dr. Saxbe explains, across both animal and human societies, fathering behaviors vary widely. Male birds and fish are exemplary dads (Nemo’s father was no outlier; clownfish dads are particularly devoted), but involved fathers are rare among mammals. Human fatherhood is considered “facultative,” an optional but very useful adaptation. That’s where nonbiological factors such as love, obligation, culture, religion, and complex reproductive strategies come in, influencing the ways fathers respond to the needs of their children.In Dad Brain, Dr. Saxbe takes readers on a fatherhood world tour, from hunter-gatherers in the Congo to contemporary suburban dads, and into her lab at USC, where she investigates how caregiving alters men’s biology—including their brain architecture and hormone levels. Ultimately, she offers powerful evidence that great dads are made, not born. When men devote time and care to their children, their physiology adapts to set them up for success—and they can discover a richer and more connected life.In the tradition of bestselling books such as Hunt, Gather, Parent and The Anxious Generation, Dad Brain blends science, culture, and personal narrative to offer an illuminating, research-based understanding of fatherhood that will become a must-read for all parents.

  In today’s world, the majority of asset-intensive organizations are still stuck with complex, rigid, and sometimes antiquated technology solutions that simply cannot step up to evolving challenges and an ever-changing market. Why do the world’s most important industries—ones that billions of people rely on for essential human needs—operate with approaches that run the risk of making them extremely inefficient and brittle? 
  What if it didn’t have to be that way? 
  Imagine a world where companies can move successfully into the future, where these brittle solutions are replaced with a flexible, simple approach that also delivers enterprise-grade capabilities. This book introduces asset operations management (AOM), an operating principle founded on the belief that asset-intensive organizations have much to gain by adopting new approaches to data, collaboration, and communication—all supported by modern, consumer-grade technology experiences. 
  The best-of-breed organizations in asset-intensive industries have been changing the way their businesses run for years, and they’re reaping the rewards. The rest of the pack is struggling to keep up in the new paradigm—one where asset operations is central to operating efficiency and organizational resilience.

  Ichthyology - Fish of the World...

  Ichthyology is the branch of zoology dedicated to the study of fish, encompassing their biology, classification, evolution, and ecological roles. Fish, as one of the most diverse and widespread vertebrate groups, inhabit nearly every aquatic environment on Earth, from the deepest ocean trenches to high-altitude freshwater streams. Ichthyology provides essential insights into the anatomy, physiology, behavior, and adaptation of fish, making it a critical field for understanding aquatic ecosystems and their conservation. 
  The scope of ichthyology extends beyond mere classification, delving into the intricate relationships fish share with their environment and other organisms. Researchers in this field examine the evolutionary history of fish, tracing their origins from primitive jawless species to the highly specialized forms seen today. With over 34,000 known species, fish display an incredible range of adaptations, including bioluminescence, electrolocation, and unique reproductive strategies. By studying these adaptations, ichthyologists gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of aquatic life and the factors driving evolutionary change. 
  Ichthyology is also crucial for understanding the ecological balance of aquatic systems. Fish play key roles in food chains, acting as both predators and prey, regulating populations of other aquatic organisms, and contributing to nutrient cycling. Their interactions with their habitats can indicate the overall health of ecosystems, making them valuable bioindicators. Studying fish populations and their responses to environmental changes helps scientists predict and mitigate the effects of climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction.
