Sinopse

Space Dust Origins explores the critical role of cosmic dust in shaping the universe, from star formation to planetary systems. This book delves into the life cycle of space dust, revealing how these tiny grains, often born in stellar explosions, profoundly influence astronomical phenomena. Understanding cosmic dust is key to unraveling the mysteries of how stars and planets come into existence. Interestingly, the composition of dust grains varies depending on their origin and environment, affecting their interaction with light and other matter.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the origin of cosmic dust and its creation in dying stars. It then examines the composition of dust grains and their role in forming protoplanetary disks, the nurseries of planets. Synthesizing findings from telescopes like the Hubble and Webb, the book emphasizes that cosmic dust is not merely a byproduct but a key player in cosmic evolution. Its unique approach lies in connecting physics, chemistry, and astronomy to explain the importance of dust in astrophysical processes, making it a valuable resource for science enthusiasts and students alike.

Understanding the Heart -...

Stephen Hussey

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the world. Despite ever-advancing medical procedures and more powerful pharmaceutical drugs, the rate of heart disease continues to rise. According to Dr. Stephen Hussey, this is due in part to misunderstandings about how the heart really functions and how to keep it healthy. These misunderstandings result in improper medical approaches and off-target intervention therapies. As a type 1 diabetic, Dr. Hussey has always known that he was at two to four times greater risk of developing heart disease. As a result, he has dedicated his entire adult life to understanding the heart, to prevent himself from becoming a statistic. And then his worst nightmare came true. Dr. Hussey suffered a “STEMI,” a blockage in the left anterior descending artery of his heart. STEMIs are typically so fatal that they are known as “widowmakers.” Only twelve percent of those who experience them outside of a hospital setting survive. Dr. Hussey was among the lucky twelve percent, but faced a difficult decision during his recovery: follow the standard of care laid out for him by the attending cardiologist or politely decline and apply everything he’d learned about the heart to a recovery protocol that would look massively different than what the doctors were recommending. In Understanding the Heart, Dr. Hussey shares the information that guided him through the highest-stakes decision of his life.
