Sinopse

The Great Displacement by Jake Bittle

Greenville, a mountain village with a population of approximately one thousand residents, nestled in the mountainous wilderness of northeastern California. 

On August 4, 2021, an enormous wildfire, one of the largest in US history, breached the valley surrounding the town, devastating three-quarters of its buildings within minutes. 
The catastrophe didn't end when the fire was extinguished; it took months for the federal government to provide emergency trailers for the displaced residents. 

The summer of the Dixie Fire witnessed a series of climate-related disasters across the US, displacing thousands of people due to storms, fires, and floods. 
This serves as a warning of what the next century of climate change might bring to the rest of the country, as one in three Americans has already experienced some form of weather-related disaster. 

This book narrates the stories of individuals affected by climate change, who have lost their homes and histories to a crisis that millions more will soon face.

Elusive Cures - Why Neuroscience...

Nicole C. Rust

Brain research has been accelerating rapidly in recent decades, but the translation of our many discoveries into treatments and cures for brain disorders has not happened as many expected. We do not have cures for the vast majority of brain illnesses, and many medications we have to treat the brain are derived from drugs produced in the 1950s—before we knew much about the brain at all. Tackling brain disorders is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. What will it take to overcome it? Nicole Rust takes listeners along on her journey to answer this question. 
 
 
 
Drawing on decades of experience, Rust reflects on how far we have come in our quest to unlock the secrets of the brain and what remains to be discovered. She shows us that treating a brain disorder is more like redirecting a hurricane than fixing a domino chain of cause and effect, arguing that only once we embrace the idea of the brain as a complex system do we have any hope of finding cures. Rust profiles the pioneering ideas about the brain that are driving research at the cutting edge to illuminate exactly how much we know about disorders—and what it will take to eradicate these scourges. 
 
 
 
Elusive Cures sheds light on one of the most daunting challenges confronted by science while offering hope for revolutionary new treatments and cures for the brain.

Abuso

Miguel Vaquero

Es posible que conozcas a alguien que está en una relación con alguien que es emocionalmente abusivo, o podrías estar en una relación con alguien así. O tal vez no sabe cómo reconocerlo y tiene curiosidad por saber cómo reconocer las señales. Cualquiera que sea la razón, ha venido a la dirección correcta.Dado que está en todos los medios y las historias horribles resuenan a través de nuestros oídos empáticos, es casi obligatorio que cualquier civil comprensivo en la sociedad comprenda al menos algunos conceptos básicos cuando se trata de abuso sexual. Los hechos están ahí afuera, y realmente le está sucediendo a la gente en secreto y, a veces, sin ocultar nada. En este libro, aprenderá a comprender la realidad de este triste fenómeno en la sociedad.Es posible que algunos de nosotros hayamos pasado por eso y otros lo hayan visto en los hogares de otras personas. La violencia doméstica es un problema grave. Las estadísticas no mienten, pero tampoco son completamente precisas. Revelan a las víctimas que hablan, pero no a las que callan. Si se pregunta qué implica la violencia doméstica, qué hacer y cómo reconocerla, entonces ha venido al lugar correcto.En una parte del libro, hay un estudio, con las cuestiones específicas que se relacionan con las tendencias suicidas. Salen a la luz causas y consecuencias, y se hacen comparaciones entre países, individuos y desencadenantes que llevan a una persona en estado depresivo a contemplar lo impensable.Quizás no uno severo, pero el abuso verbal ocurre todo el tiempo. Cada vez que las personas son malas entre sí, en cierto grado, están abusando de otro con sus palabras. Pueden ser extraños, compañeros de trabajo, jefes, tu cónyuge, tus padres, tu novio o novia, o tus amigos.

The Siege of Tyre - Alexander...

David A. Guenther

The island city of Tyre along the coast of Lebanon was for centuries an impregnable fortress and key to unlocking Phoenician and Persian power in the Near East. Its fall was first prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel; but it would not be Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who would take the city as the Bible foretold, but a Macedonian warrior king, Alexander. Alexander's siege of 332 BC was one of the most remarkable events in the classical world. 
 
 
 
The Siege of Tyre is the first book-length treatment of this critical and fascinating campaign, featuring catapults, triremes, religious invocations, close combat, and marvels of engineering, including a massive man-made causeway from the mainland to the island. The siege is thoroughly analyzed from the standpoint of what is plausible given the nature of the technology of the time and what we now know of the geology and physical fortifications of ancient Tyre. Critical to the siege were evolving technologies, including innovations in catapult design, military engineering, and naval architecture. David A. Guenther also takes into account recent scientific discoveries about the geology of the ancient seabed around Tyre and its effect on the siege. Finally, the book points out possible gender-biased views on topics such as sacred temple prostitution and the fate of women in besieged cities of the ancient world.
