Jonathan Safran Foer emphasizes that climate change is not just a problem for scientists and politicians. It's a shared responsibility. We all have a role to play in saving our planet. So, let's start taking action today.

Climate Change is a Shared Responsibility

The book explores how our daily choices, especially what we eat, can have a huge impact on the environment. Foer suggests that reducing our consumption of animal products can significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. It's time to rethink our diets.

Our Daily Choices Matter

Foer highlights the power of collective action. If we all make small changes in our lives, it can lead to big results. So, let's unite and fight climate change together.

The Power of Collective Action

We Are the Weather sends a clear message: we need to act now. Climate change is not a distant threat, it's happening right now. If we don't take immediate action, the consequences could be catastrophic.

The Urgency of Climate Action

Foer uses storytelling to make the complex issue of climate change more relatable. He believes that stories can inspire people to take action. So, let's use our voices to spread the word and inspire change.

The Role of Storytelling in Climate Activism

From the author of How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivores Dilemma, and Food Rules. Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion—most of what we're consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science.&nbsp;
&nbsp;The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition (in much the same way we worry about health), the less healthy we seem to become. With In Defense of Food , Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much.

This groundbreaking book by award-winning science writer and bestselling author of Why We Get Fat, and The Case for Keto shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong.
For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates better and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more. Yet despite this advice, we have seen unprecedented epidemics of obesity and diabetes.
Taubes argues that the problem lies in refined carbohydrates, like white flour, easily digested starches, and sugars and that the key to good health is the kind of calories we take in, not the number.
Called “a very important book” by Andrew Weil and ”destined to change the way we think about food” by Michael Pollan, this groundbreaking book by award-winning science writer Gary Taubes shows us that almost everything we believe about the nature of a healthy diet is wrong.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese-American essayist, scholar, statistician, and former trader and risk analyst whose work focuses on problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty. He is the author of several books, including "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable," which was published in 2007 and became a bestseller.
Taleb is a former trader and risk analyst and has worked as a professor of risk engineering at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering. He has a background in mathematics, statistics, and computer science and has published numerous papers in academic journals on topics related to randomness and uncertainty.
Taleb's main area of research is the study of "black swans," which he defines as rare events that have a large impact and are typically not predictable. He argues that traditional risk assessment methods, such as using historical data to predict future events, are inadequate because they fail to consider the possibility of black swan events.
Taleb is also known for his criticism of the concept of "normalcy" in statistics and his skepticism of the use of mathematical models in finance and economics. He has argued that the assumptions made in these models are often unrealistic and can lead to dangerous oversimplifications.

In high school, I wondered whether the Jamaican Americans who made our track team so successful might carry some special speed gene from their tiny island.
In college, I ran against Kenyans and wondered whether endurance genes might have traveled with them from East Africa.
At the same time, I began to notice that a training group on my team could consist of five men who run next to one another, stride for stride, day after day, and nonetheless turn out five entirely different runners. How could this be?

In The Sports Gene, David Epstein explores the age-old debate of nature versus nurture. He digs into how much of an athlete's performance is due to genetics and how much can be attributed to training. You'll find that it's not as black and white as you might think.

Nature vs Nurture

Epstein takes a look at the popular '10,000 Hour Rule' and challenges its validity. He suggests that while practice is important, it's not the only factor in achieving elite performance in sports. This might make you rethink how you approach your own training.

The 10,000 Hour Rule

The Sports Gene also delves into the fascinating world of genetic advantages in sports. Epstein researches how certain genetic traits can give athletes an edge in specific sports. It's a fascinating look into how our bodies can shape our athletic potential.

Genetic Advantages

David Epstein doesn't just focus on genetics, he also explores the role of environment in shaping an athlete's performance. From altitude and climate to cultural factors, you'll see how these elements can influence sports success.

The Role of Environment

One of the key takeaways from The Sports Gene is the importance of individualized training. Epstein suggests that understanding our own genetic makeup can help tailor training to our unique needs. This could be a game-changer in how you approach your fitness goals.

Charles Graeber, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Nurse, details the astonishing scientific discovery of the code to unleashing the human immune system to fight -- and possibly even cure -- cancer, featuring interviews with the 2018 Nobel Prize in Medicine award-winners James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo. For decades, scientists have puzzled over one of the medicine's most confounding mysteries: Why doesn't our immune system recognize and fight cancer the way it does other diseases, like the common cold? As it turns out, the answer to that question can be traced to a series of tricks that cancer has developed to turn off normal immune responses-tricks that scientists have only recently discovered and learned to defeat. The result is what many are calling cancer's penicillin moment, a revolutionary discovery in our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.

The Oxygen Advantage

No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.
There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, and repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.
Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo.
Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.
Modern research shows us that making even slight adjustments to how we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.
Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

The Brain’s Way of Healing shows that the brain has powerful natural mechanisms to repair and rebalance itself following damage or disease, and gives a host of exercises, tools and techniques to enable anyone to activate these mechanisms. The author explains how people can use their own sensory receptors—eyes, ears, skin, and even sense of smell—to shift into a state of heightened activity in the brain’s healing system. Doidge invites us to think about the brain as if we had a small generator in our head, receiving energy from sensory pathways to charge up its batteries and run our life programs. He argues that we tend to use only a small portion of our brains’ capacity as most of it remains ‘unvocalized’ or unused; yet enhancing this can bring us greater joy and creativity.

The global drop in infectious illnesses is not all good news.  Plagues and parasites have shaped the creation of the modern state, the expansion of cities, and the unequal fortunes of national economies throughout the world.  This book tells that story, but also discusses why progress has stopped short.  Viruses, bacteria, and other infectious illnesses are not the primary cause of death or disability in any part of the world for the first time in recorded history.  People are living longer lives, and fewer moms are giving birth to large families in the hopes that some of their children will survive.

Plagues and the Paradox of Progress

Eula

In this bold, fascinating book, Eula Biss addresses our fear of the government, the medical establishment, and what may be in our children's air, food, mattresses, medicines, and vaccines.
Reflecting on her experience as a new mother, she suggests that we cannot immunize our children or ourselves against the world.
As she explores the metaphors surrounding immunity, Biss extends her conversations with other mothers to meditations on the myth of Achilles, Voltaire's Candide, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Susan Sontag's AIDS and Its Metaphors, and beyond.
On Immunity is an inoculation against our fear and a moving account of how we are all interconnected-our bodies and our fates.
