Synopsis

'Calm or Storm' offers a comprehensive exploration of the dramatic increase in extreme weather events over the past century, examining both the science behind these phenomena and their far-reaching implications for society. The book weaves together meteorological data, environmental analysis, and practical adaptation strategies to paint a complete picture of our changing climate patterns, highlighting how extreme weather events have increased by 400% in the last hundred years.

 
The narrative unfolds through three interconnected themes, beginning with the fundamental mechanics of extreme weather formation, including detailed examinations of heat waves, severe storms, and droughts. It then progresses to analyze how these weather events impact ecosystems and human infrastructure, drawing from 150 years of meteorological data to establish crucial historical context. The book uniquely bridges the gap between complex atmospheric science and practical application, making technical concepts accessible through real-world examples and clear illustrations.

 
What sets this work apart is its integrated approach to weather extremes, combining atmospheric science with ecological studies and social adaptation strategies. The final portion presents evidence-based solutions for increasing community and environmental resilience, making it valuable for both environmental professionals and informed citizens. Through a blend of satellite data, ground-based observations, and case studies, the book demonstrates how understanding weather patterns is crucial for urban planning, agriculture, and public health, providing actionable strategies for navigating an increasingly volatile climate system.

    A tragedy is unfolding all around us and is receiving well overdue attention. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy than their white peers. But Dr. Monique Rainford is working to better understand these disparities and do something about them. 
     
     
     
    Pregnant While Black is a hopeful exploration of the issues pregnant Black women face in America. In this book, Dr. Rainford draws on over twenty years of experience working in obstetrics and gynecology to offer a primer on Black pregnancies and how to better care for them. She shares the successes and testimonies of Black women who have struggled during pregnancy and childbirth, anchoring the stories of these women with carefully researched facts. Despite medical advances over the last twenty years, for Black women, the overwhelming dangers of carrying and delivering children remain and it only seems to be getting worse. 
     
     
     
    In Pregnant While Black, Rainford begins the work of "repairing the damage of the past" with an examination of the conditions that plague Black pregnancies. This important book carries the hopes and dreams of a generation looking to effect change, here and now.

    The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
     
     
     
    The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
     
     
     
    This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

    The book provides a comforting yet accurate overview of the anesthetic process for surgery, aimed at children who are injured and frightened about what to expect. It explains the journey from preoperative holding to the operating room and then to the post-anesthesia care unit. The narrative highlights the steps involved in anesthesia in a medically accurate yet fun and playful way, making the child feel as if they are embarking on a rocket ship ride under anesthesia. This process is portrayed as safe and guided by the anesthetist, who is depicted as a knowledgeable and compassionate guide. 
    The child is introduced to the medical equipment they will encounter, such as the face mask, reservoir bag, and vital sign monitors, making them appear approachable and less intimidating. Additionally, the anesthetist is portrayed as an "anesthesia angel" and a real-life superhero, alongside various other healthcare providers who are dedicated to helping and caring for the child. All medical personnel are in scrubs. Ultimately, the child undergoes an inhalational general anesthetic and emerges as their own "astronaut of anesthesia" superhero filled with pride and a beaming smile.

    The story of our universe begins with one of the most profound and complex questions ever posed: How did it all begin? For centuries, humanity has sought to understand the origins of the cosmos, leading to an ever-evolving tapestry of ideas, theories, and discoveries. 
    In the early 20th century, the concept of the Big Bang emerged as a groundbreaking model, suggesting that the universe had a finite beginning—a singular moment in time when all matter, energy, and space itself erupted from an incredibly hot and dense state. This theory not only provided a framework for understanding the expansion of the universe but also posed new questions about the very nature of existence. 
    However, as scientists delved deeper into the implications of the Big Bang, they encountered puzzling anomalies. The uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation, the distribution of galaxies, and the large-scale structure of the universe seemed to suggest that something more profound had occurred in the first moments after the universe's birth.
