  Patrons of Paleontology - How...

  In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, North American and European governments generously funded the discoveries of such famous paleontologists and geologists as Henry de la Beche, William Buckland, Richard Owen, Thomas Hawkins, Edward Drinker Cope, O. C. Marsh, and Charles W. Gilmore. In Patrons of Paleontology, Jane Davidson explores the motivation behind this rush to fund exploration, arguing that eagerness to discover strategic resources like coal deposits was further fueled by patrons who had a genuine passion for paleontology and the fascinating creatures that were being unearthed. These early decades of government support shaped the way the discipline grew, creating practices and enabling discoveries that continue to affect paleontology today.

  Physician, do you know how to heal thyself? 
  Or are you taking care of everyone else while you continuously feel empty and exhausted?  
  For many doctors, being a physician isn’t just a profession; it’s an identity. If you’re not careful, it can be an all-consuming identity, with nothing to spare for yourself and your family. This is no way to live your life because it can lead to burnout, depression, and poor health.  
  You are a physician, but you are also YOU. You can be happy and accomplished. You just have to find your balance.  
  Balance can be challenging. Dr. Nanda knows; she’s been there. She was burned out, depleted, and had nothing left to give. She began searching for the answer to her own unhappiness, only to discover that she was the culprit.  
  Through her health battle, fighting depression, and self-discovery, she learned that she didn’t have to fix everything for everyone and that she was worthy of love and happiness without having to burn herself out in the process. She learned to love herself for who she is, not just as a physician but as a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter.  
  Now, her mission is to teach you how to do the same. This book is going to be your guide. Nanda will teach you to spot burnout in yourself and others and how to step away and prioritize YOU when you see those signs.  
  How can you take care of others unless you take care of yourself?  
  It’s time to be a Happy Physician!  
  Nanda Sekhon is a physician in El Paso, Texas. She is a medical director of a hormone clinic in her hometown. Nanda has an adventurous spirit, and she loves influencing and empowering others. Her vision is to create a world where every person knows their worth outside of their career and where physicians can give true, quality care without fear of burnout.

  Imminent Domains - Reckoning...

  Imminent Domains: Reckoning with the Anthropocene invites readers to join a contemplation of survival—our own, and that of the elements that surround us. Using research, lyric prose, and first-hand experiences, Alessandra Naccarato addresses fundamental questions about our modern relationship to nature amidst depictions of landscapes undergoing dramatic transformation.
  We trace the veins of harm, memory and meaning amongst ecosystems and bioregions; through history and across continents, from the mines of Cerro Rico to the ruins of Pompeii. Arranged by five central elements of survival—earth, fire, water, air and spirit—these essays refute linearity, just as nature does.
  Naccarato offers not blanket answers about our future, but rather myriad ways to find our own, individual response to an imminent question. We are being called to work together; to dig a trench deep and wide enough that the fires around us might stay at bay. How do we turn towards the fire?

  The Big Bang of Numbers - How to...

  Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space—could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try. 
   
   
   
  In this new mathematical origin story, mathematician and novelist Manil Suri creates a natural progression of ideas needed to design our world, starting with numbers and continuing through geometry, algebra, and beyond. He reveals the secret lives of real and imaginary numbers, teaches them to play abstract games with real-world applications, discovers unexpected patterns that connect humble lifeforms to enormous galaxies, and explores mathematical underpinnings for randomness and beauty. With evocative examples ranging from multidimensional crochet to the Mona Lisa's asymmetrical smile, as well as ingenious storytelling that helps illuminate complex concepts like infinity and relativity, The Big Bang of Numbers charts a playful, inventive course to existence. Mathematics, Suri shows, might best be understood not as something we invent to explain Nature, but as the source of all creation, whose directives Nature tries to obey as best she can.
