  “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
  		 
  From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
  		 
  Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
  		 
  For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

  The Elements of Marie Curie -...

  The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
   
  “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
   
  As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
   
  With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

  Resetting the Alarm in Long...

  Resetting the Alarm in Long COVID is a calm, evidence-informed, and patient-focused audiobook for people living with persistent symptoms after COVID-19 — especially those who feel unheard, confused, or unsure why their body has not returned to normal. 
  Many people with Long COVID continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, palpitations, pain, dizziness, and gut symptoms long after the initial infection has cleared. Often, medical tests appear normal, leaving patients feeling dismissed or uncertain about what is happening. 
  This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate explanation of Long COVID that goes beyond the virus itself — focusing on the role of the nervous system and how prolonged dysregulation can drive very real physical symptoms. Using accessible, non-technical language, it explains concepts such as sickness behaviour, autonomic imbalance, and why standard treatments and rehabilitation approaches do not always lead to full recovery. 
  A central section of the audiobook explores stellate ganglion block (SGB) — a targeted procedure that has gained growing attention as a potential option for some people with Long COVID. You will learn what SGB is, how it works, why it may help certain symptoms, who might be an appropriate candidate, and where its limitations lie. Importantly, SGB is not presented as a cure or guaranteed solution, but as one possible tool within a broader recovery framework. 
  The later chapters focus on what recovery looks like when it is not linear, including life after SGB, maintaining improvement, and supporting a calmer nervous system through pacing, rest, sleep, and gentle rehabilitation. 
  This audiobook is not about blame, pressure, or false promises. It is about understanding, dignity, and informed choice — offering reassurance that your symptoms are real and that a thoughtful, hopeful path forward is possible.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Are you tired of the 45-minute back-and-forth sessions with Claude Code that should take 10 minutes? You type a request, get code that looks right but breaks something else, then spend hours debugging what should have been a simple task. This is the "Loot Box Problem," and it's killing your productivity. 
   
  101 Prompts for Claude Code That Actually Work eliminates this frustration by applying battle-tested prompt engineering techniques that turn vague requests into surgical instructions. Claude Code executes flawlessly on the first attempt. 
   
  Written by Chris Sullivan, a mechanical engineer turned AI developer who learned these techniques building production systems for logistics, healthcare, and fintech companies, this book treats prompt engineering for developers as a hard skill with measurable results. 
   
  Master the Four-Component Framework That Changes Everything: 
   
  Inside, you'll discover the exact anatomy of prompts that work: Context, Task, Constraints, and Verification. Learn the Explore-Plan-Code-Commit workflow that prevents costly mistakes and eliminates the guesswork from AI-assisted software development.
