Summary

“Wind Chill Effect” explores the science behind how wind makes cold temperatures feel even colder, a crucial concept for understanding cold weather hazards. It delves into how wind chill is calculated, its effect on the human body, and its broader implications for climate studies. This book uniquely synthesizes meteorology, physiology, and climatology to explain how wind accelerates heat loss from our bodies, potentially leading to hypothermia or frostbite. One intriguing fact is the historical progression of wind chill indices, beginning with Antarctic experiments. The book provides accessible explanations of heat transfer principles and compares various wind chill formulas used worldwide. It examines how our bodies respond to cold stress, including physiological mechanisms like vasoconstriction and shivering. Furthermore, it analyzes regional variations in wind chill across North America, highlighting how factors like latitude and altitude influence extreme cold events. The book progresses from foundational principles to regional analyses and concludes with the potential impacts of climate change on wind chill patterns, offering valuable insights for public health officials, meteorologists, and anyone interested in Earth Sciences.

Sleep Well Take Risks Squish the...

MD Hasan Merali

Toddlers hold the secrets to having more fun and living a fulfilling life. These are secrets we once knew and ones that a Harvard-trained physician can help us rediscover.

Terrible twos, temper tantrums, and grocery store meltdowns are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of toddlers. But pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher Dr. Hasan Merali has long thought toddlers are among the best people in our society and adults could do well to learn from them.

These extraordinary youngsters can be impulsive, yes, but with this comes a remarkable ability to take risks and ask questions—two qualities that can help us enjoy life more. Toddlers act kindly toward strangers, are eager to work with others to solve problems, and demonstrate extraordinary dedication and perseverance. These are all traits that many of us aspire to have in order to improve both our personal and professional lives.

To unpack this behavior, Dr. Merali includes many humorous examples from his experience as a pediatrician and father, but the core lessons are drawn from two decades worth of fascinating and surprising studies in child psychology and development. Merali connects these studies to research about adults to create the first book to offer adults important lessons that can be gleaned from toddlers.

Toddlers can teach you many things, including how to:
• Lose weight naturally • Sleep better • Build stronger friendships • Improve teamwork • Be more productive • Have more fun, and • Live a more fulfilling life

Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas shows us how toddlers bring out the best in humanity and how we can, too. It’s a whole new way of looking at and learning from toddlers.

-Vasanthi Hariprakash, award-winning radio show host, journalist and entrepreneur 
 
Please note: This audiobook is in Hindi 
For decades, All India Radio or Akashvani, India's national broadcaster, has been 'the sound of India'. Be it Jawaharlal Nehru's iconic 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, shows such as Binaca Geetmala, cricket matches, movies or, more recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann ki Baat, AIR has been and continues to be the primary source for programmes on news, entertainment and knowledge for many Indians. But there are innumerable fascinating stories associated with the radio channel itself.  
For instance, did you know that Rabindranath Tagore dedicated a poem to AIR called 'Akashvani', which was adopted as the Hindi name? Or that an AIR producer was one of the first civilians to be let inside the Golden Temple after Operation Blue Star? Or that noted Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali used to make his disciples listen to AIR's Urdu service to understand correct Urdu pronunciation? 
These and many other such tales make up Akashvani: All India Radio ki ek shatabdi ki kahaniyan. With anecdotes from producers, broadcasters, radio jockeys and listeners, this book is a must-read to understand AIR's pivotal role in the average Indian's life.
