  The Elements of Marie Curie -...

  The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
   
  “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
   
  As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
   
  With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

  POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
  
  Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, turns your entire life upside down. With the experience that triggered this mental disorder, you have gone to the limits of what is bearable and beyond. Whether you are affected yourself or a relative, you know exactly how fundamentally the rest of your life is shaped by the consequences of the traumatic event. But you are not powerless against it. Psychology now knows numerous methods that can help you reclaim your self-determination, and alongside professional therapy, your own initiative is at least as important. It essentially consists of two main elements: thought and awareness exercises provide you with concrete, easy-to-implement measures with which you can directly influence your perception and experience, and in addition, by acquiring comprehensive knowledge, you become an expert on your own illness – a decisive step on the path to self-empowerment.

  For millennia, humanity has sought the secret to defying death. Only in recent decades, however, have we begun to unravel the complexities of aging, and conceived plausible technology paths to solving it. 
  Immortality or Death is a celebration of the remarkable strides made in aging research. This book offers a profound, comprehensive, and meticulously detailed exploration of our current understanding of aging, alongside the most advanced efforts to slow it down. With a critical eye, it debunks the allure of modern biohacking—the “false grail”—and shines a spotlight on the most promising scientific directions. Drawing on the systematization of over a thousand studies and research articles, Immortality or Death provides a balanced perspective, including healthy skepticism of pseudoscientific claims and optimism inspired by real scientific progress. 
  Beyond its scientific depth, Immortality or Death is an ode to human life itself, challenging the outdated notion that the pursuit of immortality or agelessness is the domain of mad tyrants or unethical scientists. The book champions this quest as a noble and deeply human endeavor, rooted in compassion and curiosity. Finally, it outlines both a scientific roadmap and social strategies to accelerate progress in humanity's ongoing battle against the injustice of death, encouraging readers to imagine a future where aging is no longer inevitable.

  Invasive Species - A Very Short...

  Today there is no place on Earth that does not harbor invasive exotic species. Invasive plants and animals can be found on every continent, including Antarctica, and within all waterbodies, including all oceans. In our increasingly connected world, with speedy commercial and recreational travel and the global movement of biological matter for food, invasive species are showing up at such a fast rate that there is no way to accurately count how many currently exist or how many are likely to emerge in the coming decades. Monitoring these species and controlling their spread is essential, as we increasingly understand the negative impacts they pose: their threat to our health; the toll they take on our commercial production; and the threat they pose to native ecosystems. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction provides a clear definition of an invasive species, and considers the myriad ways they are moved around the globe, and the ecological, social, and economic impacts they often impose. Exploring the way Earth's biodiversity is being affected by global change, Julie Lockwood also discusses policy and management approaches to combating the ill-effects of invasive species, and how invasive species fit within the broader context of environmental change.
