  With Expand: Stretching the Future By Design, authors Jens Martin Skibsted, a multiple-award-winning designer, entrepreneur, and design philosopher, and Christian Bason, political scientist and CEO of the Danish Design Centre, take listeners beyond "design thinking" to challenge current habits and carve out new space for more sustainable innovation. 
   
   
   
  From transforming the ways we do business and reimagining health care, to creating planet-restoring housing and humanizing our digital lives in an age of AI, Expand explores how expansive thinking across six key areas—time, proximity, value, life, dimensions, and sectors—can provide radical, useful solutions to a whole host of current problems around the globe. 
   
    
   
  With powerful real-world examples, the book challenges our freewheeling belief in technological determinism and its insensitivity toward ethics, humanity, and the environment. 
   
   
   
  Expand is the first book to not just critique design thinking, but welcome it as a starting point for an ambitious, wide-ranging tale of how to expand and think beyond it. 
   
   
   
  The best way to predict the future is to design it. Expand is the book that shows us how.

  Concussion is one of the most common neurological conditions, with many people having experienced at least one concussion within a lifetime. Concussion has been the focus of great media attention which has brought awareness to this important health issue. While most have heard about athletes and concussions, these injuries can occur at any age and can have many causes such as car accidents and falls. 
   
   
   
  In Navigating the Challenges of Concussion, expert clinicians and researchers in the fields of neurology and neuropsychology teamed together to provide up-to-date and evidence-based information for patients and families affected by concussion or those at increased risk of sustaining concussions. Topics covered include how concussion is different from other forms of brain injury, what to expect after a concussion, and what to do if symptoms are persisting. The authors explore extensively the common misconceptions around the treatment of concussion, and instead offer evidence-based guidance to follow instead. Special considerations for children and students, athletes, employees, military personnel, and older adults are discussed. Patient stories are included throughout which highlight some of the experiences that patients with concussion may face and may relate to their own concussion journey.

  The Honey Trap - How the Good...

  Dana L. Church

  The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
   
   
   
  Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
   
   
   
  With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.

  Nephrology - Kidney Health...

  The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the ribcage. Despite their small size, each roughly the size of a fist, they play a vital role in maintaining overall health. As part of the urinary system, the kidneys filter waste, balance bodily fluids, regulate blood pressure, and contribute to red blood cell production. Understanding how the kidneys function is crucial for appreciating their importance and recognizing potential health concerns. 
  Each kidney contains about a million tiny filtering units called nephrons. These nephrons work tirelessly to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood, which are then excreted as urine. The kidneys also help maintain the body’s electrolyte balance by regulating levels of sodium, potassium, and calcium. This precise balance is essential for proper nerve and muscle function. Additionally, the kidneys produce hormones such as erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow, and renin, which helps regulate blood pressure. Without the kidneys' ability to perform these tasks, the body would struggle to maintain equilibrium, leading to serious health complications. 
  One of the kidneys' primary functions is detoxification. Every day, they filter around 50 gallons of blood, removing harmful substances such as urea, creatinine, and toxins that accumulate from food, medications, and metabolic processes. This filtration process ensures that waste products do not build up to dangerous levels in the bloodstream. When kidney function declines, these substances can accumulate, leading to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, and confusion.
