  Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets – everyone you’ve ever met… 
   
  With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it’s a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don’t betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions. 
   
  Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever? offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them – and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.

  An action-oriented approach for businesses to solve the world’s most urgent social problems — and benefit from doing so.
  		 
  More than a year into a global pandemic, profit and shareholder value are no longer the primary metric of business success. Customers, shareholders, and communities are demanding that companies do good, do more, and do better. In Change for Good, Paul Klein shows how companies must move beyond what he calls “corporate social responsibility light” and demonstrate how they can help solve social problems that have been defined as UN Sustainable Development Goals.
  		 
  Change for Good is a new system for making social change through business that reflects Paul’s experience over the last 35 years. One of the core principles of Change for Good is including people with lived experience of social problems in identifying promising solutions and collaborating to bring these solutions to life. This methodology can create impactful and sustainable social change in society in ways that aren’t possible when executives make decisions in their boardrooms that are intended to impact the lives of vulnerable people.
  		 
  Through personal experiences, case studies, and practical tools, Change for Good will inspire readers and their organizations to make the shift from a passive social responsibility to taking action to help solve the world’s most pressing social problems.

  The Physics of Everyday Things -...

  Motion is a fundamental aspect of the physical world, affecting everything we do and experience. From walking down the street to driving a car, the principles of motion are always at work. In physics, understanding the forces that cause and influence motion is essential to understanding how objects behave in the world around us. This chapter will explore Newton's laws of motion and the application of forces in our daily lives, helping to make sense of the movements and actions that shape our experiences. 
  At the heart of motion is Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. Essentially, things like to keep doing what they’re doing. For instance, a car coasting down the highway will continue moving unless the brakes are applied, or friction slows it down. This simple concept explains why, when you're in a car that suddenly stops, you feel as if you're still moving forward—your body wants to keep going, even though the car has halted. The application of this principle is not limited to vehicles but can be observed in everyday activities, like pushing a shopping cart or standing still on a bus that starts to move. 
  Newton's Second Law, the Law of Acceleration, takes it further. It tells us that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). This means that heavier objects require more force to accelerate, while lighter objects can be moved more easily. When you push a sled across the snow, the amount of effort you need depends on how much the sled weighs and how fast you want it to move. This relationship helps explain why it’s harder to get a heavy truck moving than a small bicycle. Understanding this law helps us calculate everything from how much effort it takes to lift an object to how quickly a rocket can launch into space.
