  In recent years, the popularity of natural remedies has surged, with more and more people turning to herbal supplements, essential oils, superfoods, and alternative therapies as an alternative to conventional medicine. In a world where many are seeking healthier, more holistic ways to care for their bodies, natural remedies often seem like the solution to various health issues. The promise of a natural, side-effect-free way to heal is undeniably appealing. But, as we dive into the world of natural healing, it’s essential to ask: How much of this is rooted in truth, and how much is driven by the allure of unproven claims? 
    
  The shift toward natural remedies isn’t just a modern trend. It’s a return to ancient practices that have been used for thousands of years, from herbal medicine in ancient civilizations to the teachings of indigenous cultures who relied on the earth’s offerings for healing. Yet, despite their long history, the benefits of many natural remedies are still being researched and debated by scientists and health professionals. While some have proven their worth through rigorous studies and centuries of use, others remain shrouded in mystery or are often based on myths that have persisted through time. 
    
  This book aims to peel back the layers of misinformation, misconceptions, and unsubstantiated claims surrounding natural remedies. We’ll explore the science behind these remedies, uncover the potential dangers, and provide insight into which natural treatments are actually backed by evidence. By examining both the pros and cons of using natural remedies, we aim to give you a balanced and honest perspective on their effectiveness and safety. It’s crucial to understand that while nature has much to offer, it’s not a magical cure-all, and in some cases, it can pose risks when misused.

  Unsettled - What Climate Science...

  In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
   
  “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
  “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
  “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
   
  You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
   
  With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
   
  When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
   
  Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
  • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
  • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
  • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
   
  Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.

  An Engineer Imagines

  The long-awaited reissue of the autobiography of Peter Rice, one of the main structural engineers behind the Sydney Opera House, the Pompidou Centre, the Menil Collection and Lloyd's of London.
  
  'I am an engineer. Often people will call me an 'architect engineer' as a compliment. It is meant to signify a quality of engineer who is more imaginative and design-orientated than a normal engineer... To call an engineer an 'architect engineer' because he comes up with unusual or original solutions is essentially to misunderstand the role of the engineer in society.'
  An Engineer Imagines is a rare look into the professional creativity and philosophy of Peter Rice, who was widely acclaimed as the greatest structural engineer of his generation. He was a man who, in Renzo Piano's words, could design structures 'like a pianist who can play with his eyes shut'. Working with many of the world's greatest architects on buildings that became icons of contemporary architecture, he brought a uniquely poetic feeling to his work.
  Joining Ove Arup & Partners in 1956, Rice had heard that 'it was a place where an oddball could fit in.' Taking on Arup's theory of Total Design to heart, Rice writes about the role of the engineer in society, and how he himself applied his creativity to various projects. He admits he became an engineer by accident, tentatively feeling his way through a career without a natural instinct. But as he takes you through each of his projects, one-by-one, you can trace his development from graduate to veteran.
  Written in clear and poetic language, Rice's autobiography is perfect for those who want to better understand postwar buildings, our concrete environment, or are budding students of engineering and architecture.
