Historia
In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping—but the truth is essential to our health.

It’s wonderful to hear a medical expert take a skeptical view on medical dogma. Don’t just believe what the experts tell you, even this author.

I really enjoyed this book. However there were a few things that were mentioned and then just dropped without explanation. Perhaps in the sequel, which I plan to read

Historia
In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse - mathematical genius and young Captain in the US Navy - is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Watrehouse and Detachment 2702 - commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe - is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. In the present, Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia....

I enjoyed all the characters and the WW2 sections. I think it helps a bit if you were a computer guy in 1999, which I was.

Historia
Sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium. These fundamental materials have created empires, razed civilizations, and fed our ingenuity and greed for thousands of years. Without them, our modern world would not exist, and the battle to control them will determine our future. In Material World, Ed Conway embarks on an epic journey across continents, cultures, and epochs to reveal the underpinnings of modern life on Earth—traveling from the sweltering depths of the deepest mine in Europe to spotless silicon chip factories in Taiwan to the eerie green pools where lithium originates.

You should read this book!
Revisado: 01-16-24
This book is an easy read while also being very informative. The author beautifully describes the materials that make up the core of our civilization and the activities we go through to obtain them. This information is fundamental in making informed political decisions. It’s important to understand a little about the processes that house and feed you.

Historia
The world is never finished catching up with Vaclav Smil. In his latest and perhaps most digestible book, Invention and Innovation, the prolific author—a favorite of Bill Gates—pens an insightful and fact-filled jaunt through the history of human invention. Impatient with the hype that so often accompanies innovation, Smil offers in this book a clear-eyed corrective to the overpromises that accompany everything from new cures for diseases to AI.

Don’t give up!
Revisado: 12-14-23
The author is a very knowledgeable skeptic. This book is a great listen for anyone, like me, who hopes for technology to solve our current and future problems. It’s going to be a lot harder than you’d think by reading much of the coverage of scientific breakthroughs. But don’t give up. We’ve made amazing progress in the past and we have to keep trying.

Historia
Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using tissue extracted from an aborted fetus from Sweden, produced safe, clean cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases.

Longevity and Medicine with an engineering slant
Revisado: 06-14-23
I loved this book. The author is excellent at explaining what is actually known about health and longevity from an honest scientific point of view. The author is committed to determining the most rational plan to live longer based on what we know right now. He has no fad to sell you. The final chapter of this book is different as it gives you some clue to events that help produce such a driven individual as the author with all his strengths and failings. It was outstanding.

Wonderful sections on immunology
Revisado: 01-16-23
I’ve listened to several books on immunology. This book provides some of the best descriptions of the immune system that I’ve heard. It’s also wonderfully read.

Cheese puffs. Coffee. Sunscreen. Vapes. George Zaidan reveals what will kill you, what won’t, and why - explained with high-octane hilarity, hysterical hijinks, and other things that don’t begin with the letter H. Ingredients offers the perspective of a chemist on the stuff we eat, drink, inhale, and smear on ourselves. Apart from the burning question of whether you should eat that Cheeto, Zaidan explores a range of topics.
