Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the science in George R. R. Martin’s fantastical world, from the physics of an ice wall to the genetics of the Targaryens and Lannisters Game of Thrones is a fantasy that features a lot of made-up science—fabricated climatology (when is winter coming?), astronomy, metallurgy, chemistry, and biology. Most fans of George R. R. Martin’s fantastical world accept it all as part of the magic. A trained scientist, watching the fake science in Game of Thrones, might think, “But how would it work?” In Fire, Ice, and Physics, Rebecca Thompson turns a scientist’s eye on Game of Thrones, exploring, among other things, the science of an ice wall, the genetics of the Targaryen and Lannister families, and the biology of beheading. Thompson, a PhD in physics and an enthusiastic Game of Thrones fan, uses the fantasy science of the show as a gateway to some interesting real science, introducing GOT fandom to a new dimension of appreciation. Thompson starts at the beginning, with winter, explaining seasons and the very elliptical orbit of the Earth that might cause winter to come (or not come). She tells us that ice can behave like ketchup, compares regular steel to Valyrian steel, explains that dragons are “bats, but with fire,” and considers Targaryen inbreeding. Finally she offers scientific explanations of the various types of fatal justice meted out, including beheading, hanging, poisoning (reporting that the effects of “the Strangler,” administered to Joffrey at the Purple Wedding, resemble the effects of strychnine), skull crushing, and burning at the stake. Even the most faithful Game of Thrones fans will learn new and interesting things about the show from Thompson’s entertaining and engaging account. Fire, Ice, and Physics is an essential companion for all future bingeing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder in the Lab by Leonid Heifets Murder in the Lab by Leonid Heifets is a tale of international mystery. Individuals of diverse personalities and backgrounds turn haggard and peeved, owing to the exhausting daily laboratory routine and intrigue. Jealousy, envy, and sexual hookups are not unusual occurrences in this setting. In the span of five months, there have been two deaths. To whom or to what can these deaths be attributed? Could they be the result of infighting among the employees? Are the deaths related to the development of new genetic methods that may transform medicine, with the potential for huge commercial success? The stakes are high-advanced diagnosis and prediction of illnesses before they occur, and above all, life-saving gene therapy. Investigators from the police and FBI must also be on guard for espionage, since the same genetics mastery can be used to develop biological weapons. Two deaths have forced those working in the lab to reexamine their relationships. About the Author Leonid Heifets, M.D., Ph.D., Sc.D., is Professor Emeritus, Department of Medicine, National Jewish Health, in Denver, Colorado. He is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in tuberculosis. After thirty-three years of service at National Jewish Health, in 2012 he retired from his position professor and director of one of the largest TB reference laboratories. Prior to employment at National Jewish, he worked as a physician, epidemiologist, and microbiologist in Russia. He is a recipient of two Lifetime Achievement Awards--one from National Jewish Health Faculty, and the other from the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases. Dr. Heifets has authored more than 200 scientific publications in the fields of epidemiology and microbiology of infectious diseases, and has recently written three books addressed to the general public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Bestseller! Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Series! Brimming with Chambers' signature blend of heart-warming character relationships and dazzling adventure, Record of a Spaceborn few is the third standalone installment of the Wayfarers series, set in the sprawling universe of the Galactic Commons, and following a new motley crew on a journey to another corner corner of the cosmos—one often mentioned, but not yet explored. Return to the sprawling universe of the Galactic Commons, as humans, artificial intelligence, aliens, and some beings yet undiscovered explore what it means to be a community in this exciting third adventure in the acclaimed and multi-award-nominated science fiction Wayfarers series, brimming with heartwarming characters and dazzling space adventure. Hundreds of years ago, the last humans on Earth boarded the Exodus Fleet in search of a new home among the stars. After centuries spent wandering empty space, their descendants were eventually accepted by the well-established species that govern the Milky Way. But that was long ago. Today, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, the birthplace of many, yet a place few outsiders have ever visited. While the Exodans take great pride in their original community and traditions, their culture has been influenced by others beyond their bulkheads. As many Exodans leave for alien cities or terrestrial colonies, those who remain are left to ponder their own lives and futures: What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination? Why remain in space when there are habitable worlds available to live? What is the price of sustaining their carefully balanced way of life—and is it worth saving at all? A young apprentice, a lifelong spacer with young children, a planet-raised traveler, an alien academic, a caretaker for the dead, and an Archivist whose mission is to ensure no one’s story is forgotten, wrestle with these profound universal questions. The answers may seem small on the galactic scale, but to these individuals, it could mean everything.

After gaining her degree, Hemera Booth lands a job as a research assistant to Professor Sean Docherty while working towards her Doctorate Degree in Astrophysics and Particle Theory. The first few years pass without incident. She sailed through her theses with remarkable ease under the guidance of her marginally eccentric mentor and found herself still attached to him and his research institute after eight years. But one Monday morning in early autumn, things begin to change from being occasionally marginally odd to permanently positively weird. What begins as an independently initiated research explodes into an international joint investigation upon a chance discovery that there is a lot more to the Gale Crater on Mars, particularly Mount Sharp, than ever imagined before. Readers can find out this small teams intriguing find and why scientists from the world over surge to their laboratory in Hemera, a speculative sci-fi novel that reminds readers that there is more to the universe than our normal senses can detect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting. In the end, the treatment was finally approved for all MPS patients, and ultimately saved Ryan. Ryan has been on the enzyme replacement therapy for more than 23 years. He went on to graduate college and in 2021 was married.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Memory of Rebecca Ann Leighow 2/18/1951 - 10/17/2007 OVERVIEW Two of the most profound uncertainties that man can ponder are: what is the meaning of life, and what is the meaning of death? Many would say that the answers to these questions are unknowable and too mysterious to be comprehended. Reverend Thomas Leighow believes however, that God has given us these answers, contained within the pages of the Bible. The only way we can live in peace and harmony with death, is by having a true and correct perspective of what death actually is. Death can only be properly understood when it is viewed through the eyes of the very Creator of life and death – the God of the Bible. In Dying to Live With God, Rev. Leighow opens the doors to understanding life and death as it should be understood - from God’s eternal perspective. The reality of death, and the meaning of death, can only truly come from the mind of the One who set death in place. Death is not just a by-product of life, rather, death is a necessary component of the divine plan of a sovereign God who holds the power over life and death. For those who live in fear of death, or for those who have not recovered after the loss of a loved one, this book will give you an understanding of death that will provide you with a blessed assurance and comfort to face your own “valley of the shadow of death.”
