Sinopsis

Are you aware that the dampness in your home could be impacting your health? Dampness and Health explores the link between moisture in residential environments and adverse health effects like respiratory illnesses and allergic reactions. The book examines indoor air quality, biological agents thriving in damp conditions, and their impact on the immune system. It uniquely integrates building science with medical research, making it valuable for homeowners, healthcare providers, and building professionals.

 
The book begins with the basics of indoor air quality and sources of dampness before detailing specific health effects such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and immune function. It then progresses to practical strategies for preventing and remediating moisture using ventilation, moisture control, and mold remediation.

 
Modern construction for energy efficiency can trap moisture, leading to mold and bacteria growth that triggers health issues. The text emphasizes proactive steps to create healthier living environments.

    In The Age-Proof Brain, scientist and popular speaker Dr. Marc Milstein shares "complex science in simple (and often humorous) examples, case histories, and 'how-to' guidelines that are guaranteed to change your life" (Dr. James B. Mass). This book reveals the secrets to improving brain function, which lie in the brain's surprising connection with the rest of the body. 
     
      
     
    Debunking common misinformation, The Age-Proof Brain offers new, breakthrough science-supported strategies to improve memory and productivity; increase energy and boost your mood; reduce the risk of anxiety and depression; form healthy habits to supercharge your brain; and prevent non-genetic Alzheimer's and dementia.

    This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. 
    This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. 
    What you’re about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. 
    At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first – I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. 
    After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I’m not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it’s a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you’ll be surprised by what you can learn in a year’s time.
