  Medical toxicology is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of poisoning and toxic exposures. Its significance lies in its ability to address the wide range of substances that can cause harm to the human body, whether through accidental or intentional exposure. From pharmaceuticals to industrial chemicals, toxins are part of daily life, and the potential for harm is ever-present. As such, medical toxicology plays a vital role in both emergency and long-term healthcare, providing the expertise necessary to treat patients who are at risk of, or suffering from, toxicological emergencies. 
  The importance of medical toxicology is magnified by the increasing number of chemical substances in circulation, many of which are introduced without comprehensive understanding of their potential health impacts. These include both legal substances, such as prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs, and illicit substances like narcotics. Furthermore, environmental hazards, such as pollutants, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, contribute significantly to public health concerns. Medical toxicologists are not only essential in treating poisoning cases but also in monitoring exposure risks, advancing treatment protocols, and educating healthcare professionals and the public about prevention. 
  One of the most critical aspects of toxicology is its interdisciplinary nature. It draws from various scientific fields such as pharmacology, biochemistry, and physiology to understand the mechanisms by which toxins affect the body. This comprehensive approach allows toxicologists to identify specific clinical signs, develop diagnostic strategies, and determine the most effective interventions to mitigate the effects of poisoning. Through their expertise, toxicologists can guide healthcare providers in making informed decisions, ensuring that patients receive timely and accurate care.

  Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation
  		 
  “Ultimately, the author successfully demonstrates how claims should be queried and analyzed before they are accepted.” — Library Journal
  		 
  We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery — loosely defined as the spread of false “knowledge,” often accompanied by various versions of “snake oil” — is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. 
  		 
  In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.

  Barons - Money Power and the...

  Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
   
   
   
  Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
   
   
   
  These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.

  A new, researched-based look at how traditional or smaller companies can better compete with Big Tech on their own terms 
   
   
   
  Companies are fighting the wrong battle. The consensus has been to learn the best practices from Big Tech and imitate them. But new paths for growth aren't created by imitation; they're forged by radical differentiation. 
   
   
   
  In Smart Rivals, Harvard Business School professor Feng Zhu and former Bloomberg journalist Bonnie Cao show business leaders how to create new competitive advantages by offering product features and benefits that tech giants and other competitors cannot match. 
   
   
   
  Zhu and Cao bring listeners across the globe, revealing how big conglomerates—Coca-Cola, Ping An, and AB InBev—and scrappy upstarts—an Italian toll payment platform, a Chinese footwear retailer, a Nigerian media company, and scores of others—have managed to thrive by tapping into their unique capabilities. 
   
   
   
  Based on original research and insights gleaned from leaders in a wide-range of industries, Smart Rivals will help you find new capabilities that mere imitation could never provide and lead to new products, services, strategies, and advantages.
