It happens everywhere: offices, schools, even your own backyard. And, seemingly, anything can trigger it: cell phones, sirens, bad music, constant distractions, your boss, or even your spouse. We all know certain things get under our skin. Can science explain why? NPR's Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman take you on a scientific quest through psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and other disciplines to uncover the truth about being annoyed.

Story1
In The Marsh Builders, Sharon Levy delves into the intertwined histories of wetlands loss and water pollution. The book's springboard is the tale of a years-long citizen uprising in Humboldt County, California, which led to the creation of one of the first US wetlands designed to treat city sewage. The book explores the global roots of this local story: the cholera epidemics that plagued 19th-century Europe; the researchers who invented modern sewage treatment after bumbling across the insight that microbes break down pollutants in water; and more.

Peter Wohlleben eröffnet uns eine faszinierende Welt: das Verständnis für Organismen, die mit bloßem Auge nicht erkennbar sind, aber die Geschicke der Menschheit lenken. Sie sind nicht nur praktische Alltagshelfer – ohne Bakterien kein Joghurt, keine Salami und kein Sauerkraut – und wohnen auf der Haut, der Zunge oder im Darm, sondern in jeder unserer Körperzellen, wo sie uns nach ihren Bedürfnissen steuern. Der Autor zeigt, dass wir aus Bakterien gemacht sind und wie stark sie uns prägen, etwa durch die Produktion von Hormonen, die unsere Stimmungen beeinflussen.

Most of us think that longevity hinges on maintaining a normal Body Mass Index. But research conducted over the last decade hit the media in January with explosive news: Overweight and even moderately obese people with certain chronic diseases - from heart disease to cancer - often live longer and fare better than normal-weight individuals with the same ailments. In this groundbreaking audiobook, Carl Lavie, MD, reveals the science behind the obesity paradox and shows us how to achieve maximum health rather than minimum weight.

Not too long ago, there was no coming back from death. But now, with revolutionary medical advances, death has become just another serious complication. As a young medical student, Dr. David Casarett was inspired by the story of a two-year-old girl named Michelle Funk. Michelle fell into a creek and was underwater for over an hour. When she was found she wasn't breathing, and her pupils were fixed and dilated. That drowning should have been fatal. But after three hours of persistent work, a team of doctors and nurses was able to bring her back.

Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew.

Are we alone in the universe—or is life a cosmic inevitability? Life in the Cosmic Context goes beyond the conventional search for extraterrestrial biology, asking deeper questions about the very nature of life and our place in an immense, evolving cosmos. In this groundbreaking work, astrobiology becomes more than the science of life beyond Earth; it is a philosophical lens for reimagining what life itself can be. From the origins of life on Earth to the potential for entirely different biochemistries elsewhere, this book challenges listeners to rethink what is possible.

En 2016, se publicaron los resultados de un experimento sorprendente. A un grupo de ratones les cambiaron todas sus bacterias intestinales por otras de personas con depresión. Al cabo de unos días, los ratones se deprimieron. La depresión se puede trasplantar… en ratones. Estudios como este demuestran la estrecha relación entre nuestros microbios (la microbiota) y nuestras células. Cuando ese equilibrio se altera y disminuyen el número y diversidad de los microorganismos, tenemos un problema.

Сначала Земля представляла собой негостеприимное чужеродное место: на планету непрерывно обрушивались потоки химических веществ, она была покрыта бурлящими океанами, а ландшафт формировали непрекращающиеся извержения вулканов. Посреди этого буйства стихий и катастроф и началась жизнь. Похожие на мыльные пузырьки первые клетки с дерзкой отвагой бросили вызов безжизненному миру.

Organizing his book alphabetically, Hugh Raffles weaves together brief vignettes, meditations, and extended essays, taking the listener on a mesmerizing exploration of history and science, anthropology and travel, economics, philosophy, and popular culture.
