Polluted Air

Sinopse

Polluted Air examines the pervasive issue of air pollution, asserting that it poses a significant threat to public health globally, stemming from industrial practices, transportation, and individual behaviors. Despite increased awareness, effective strategies for reducing exposure remain underdeveloped.

 
For instance, did you know that air pollution disproportionately affects low-income communities, raising critical social justice issues? Or that pollutants are categorized as primary (emitted directly) and secondary (formed through atmospheric reactions)?

 
The book explores the historical and scientific context of air pollution, tracing its evolution from localized incidents to a global crisis. It's structured into three sections, dissecting the causes (industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust), investigating health effects (respiratory, cardiovascular), and exploring mitigation strategies (emissions control technologies, policy interventions). The evidence is drawn from scientific literature and government reports. Each chapter concludes with actionable steps.

 
Written in an accessible style, Polluted Air is suitable for a broad audience, including students, policymakers, and concerned citizens. The book fairly addresses debates regarding the contribution of different sources and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. It empowers readers to become informed advocates for cleaner air and healthier communities.

Helen Popovic

What happens when life throws together a busy, enthusiastic, doctor-daughter and her bereaved, disenchanted, dependent father? What happens when science meets stubbornness and a parent needs parenting?
Following her mother’s death, Dr Helena Popovic puts her medical training and beliefs to the test when she becomes the carer for her elderly father, who has encroaching dementia.
A passionate medical practitioner and international speaker, Helena finds herself living out everything she preached.

This timeless book deals with a complex issue many of us will need to face: how best to care for elderly parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves. What do those in our care most need from us?
Are there steps we can take to defy dementia and build a better brain? Are we able to sharpen our intellect, tap into brain potential we never knew we had, and prevent the cognitive decline most of us believe is inevitable with ageing?
The answer is an unequivocal YES!
Facts inform but stories transform. The facts in this book will change your thinking – the story in this book will change your life.

Rethinking Hypothyroidism - Why...

MD Antonio C. Bianco

In this primer for patients, their families, and their doctors, a leading physician and scientist explains why the standard treatment for hypothyroidism fails many—and offers an empowering call for change.

Hypothyroidism, also commonly referred to as Hashimoto’s disease, affects millions in the United States alone. It occurs when the thyroid—the butterfly-shaped gland that sits in your neck right above the front of your shirt collar—malfunctions or after thyroid surgery, causing thyroid hormone levels in circulation to drop below normal. Thus, treatment is aimed at bringing these hormone levels back to normal. This is done with daily tablets of thyroxine or T4. Because hypothyroidism is so common, we likely know someone who is on this type of medication. While most patients respond well to this standard treatment, about ten to twenty percent (some two to three million individuals in the United States) are far from living a typical life. They exhibit “foggy brain”—low energy, confusion, and poor memory. Many doctors have shrugged off their complaints, believing these symptoms to be unrelated to the thyroid disease. In Rethinking Hypothyroidism, Dr. Antonio C. Bianco, a physician and a scientist who has studied hypothyroidism and thyroid hormones for decades, offers an accessible overview of the disease’s treatment and the role of big pharma in shaping it, making the case that the current approach is failing many patients. But more than this, Bianco calls for alternatives to improve lives, and he equips patients and their families with the tools to advocate for other treatments.

This audiobook is expertly read by Kristi Burns, with audio engineering by Sam Platt. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
