Summary

"Frozen In Time" explores the fascinating and controversial field of cryonics, the practice of cryopreservation with the hope of future revival. It delves into the science behind freezing humans, examining the biological challenges and potential breakthroughs needed for successful reanimation. The book explores the history of cryonics, from its conceptual beginnings to current techniques like vitrification, which aims to prevent ice crystal formation during cooling. This exploration highlights intriguing facts, such as the cellular damage that occurs during freezing and thawing, and the potential role of regenerative medicine and nanotechnology in repairing this damage. The book also examines the ethical implications, legal issues, and societal impact of pursuing such extreme measures. It progresses logically, starting with biological foundations, then moving through historical context, current technologies, and finally, ethical considerations. The book uniquely presents a balanced view of cryonics, acknowledging both its promise and its limitations. It emphasizes that while cryopreservation technology has advanced, successful revival remains speculative. By grounding its analysis in scientific literature and expert interviews, "Frozen In Time" offers a comprehensive overview of the science, controversies, and future prospects of this intriguing field, making it valuable for science enthusiasts and anyone curious about the possibilities of extended life.

    Does It Fart? - The Definitive...

    From the scientist duo behind True or Poo?, their original New York Times bestselling sensation--a scientifically precise, fully illustrated, utterly hilarious guide to animal flatulence. Dogs do it. Millipedes do it. Dinosaurs did it. You do it. I do it. Octopuses don't (and nor do octopi). Spiders might do it: more research is needed. Birds don't do it, but they could if they wanted to. Herrings do it to communicate with each other.  In 2017 zoologist Dani Rabaiotti's teenage brother asked her a most teenaged question: Do snakes fart? Stumped, Rabaiotti turned to Twitter. The internet did not disappoint. Her innocent question spawned the hashtag #doesitfart and it spread like a noxious gas. Dozens of noted experts began weighing in on which animals do and don't fart, and if they do, how much, how often, what it's made of, what it smells like, and why.  Clearly, the public demands more information on animal farts. Does it Fart? fills that void: a fully authoritative, fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence, covering the habits of 80 animals in more detail than you ever knew you needed.  What do hyena farts smell especially bad? What is a fossa, and does it fart? Why do clams vomit but not fart? And what is a fart, really? Pairing hilarious illustrations with surprisingly detailed scientific explanations, Does it Fart? will allow you to shift the blame onto all kinds of unlikely animals for years to come.

  • Why Mars and Venus Collide - Improving Relationships by Understanding How Man and Women Cope Differently with Stress - cover

    Why Mars and Venus Collide -...

    Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians functioned in separate worlds. But in today's hectic and career-oriented environment, relationships have become a lot more complicated, and men and women are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. To add to the increasing tension, most men and women are also completely unaware that they are actually hardwired to react differently to the stress. It's a common scenario: a husband returns home from work stressed out and eager to kick back on the couch and watch television. A wife returns home from work stressed out and wants to talk about it with her husband. What happens? Neither is on the same page, anger and resentment set in, and Mars and Venus collide.  
    Using his signature insight that has helped millions of couples transform their relationships, John Gray once again arms the inhabitants of Mars and Venus with information that will help them live harmoniously ever after. In Why Mars and Venus Collide, Gray focuses on the ways that men and women misinterpret and mismanage the stress in their daily lives, and how these reactions ultimately affect their relationships. ""It's not that he's just not into you; he needs to fulfill a biological need,"" Gray explains. ""And it's not that she wants to henpeck you; she also has a biological drive."" He shows, for instance, how a husband's withdrawal is actually a natural way for him to replenish his depleted testosterone levels and restore his well-being, and how a woman's need for conversation and support helps her build her own stress-reducing hormone, oxytocin. 
    Backed up by groundbreaking scientific research, Gray offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap between the two planets, providing effective communication strategies that will actually lower stress levels. Whether in a relationship or single, this book will help both men and women understand their new roles in a modern, work-oriented society, and allow them to discover a variety of new and practical ways to create a lifetime of love and harmony.
