A Russian oil tycoon blames the USA for destroying the Soviet Union and swears vengeance. Through his agents he sends two atomic bombs to New York, which will not only destroy the city, but the whole East Coast. An ace journalist and his girlfriend discover the plot and inform the president.
Young attorney Libby Burke is worried about making partner at her Chicago law firm when she receives a call from a grief-stricken woman whose son just died of leukemia. The woman suspects chemicals from a nearby manufacturing plant to be the cause. When Libby finds out that two other young children have also died of cancer in the same neighborhood, she files a lawsuit against the company. Proving the case will be another matter though. With the help of geologist Paul Hannon, she methodically gathers medical and scientific evidence in spite of anonymous threats, assaults, and even the murder of a person connected to the case. As she prepares for a second trial after the judge has thrown out the case for the first time, Libby lacks the conclusive evidence she needs to win. Her career and justice for three heartbroken families hang in the balance.
An urgent examination of one of the biggest global crises facing us today—the drastic worsening of air pollution—and what we can do about it The air pollution that we breathe every day is largely invisible—but it is killing us. How did it get this bad, and how can we stop it? Far from a modern-day problem, scientists were aware of the impact of air pollution as far back as the seventeenth century. Now, as more of us live in cities, we are closer than ever to pollution sources, and the detrimental impact on the environment and our health has reached crisis point. The Invisible Killer will introduce you to the incredible individuals whose groundbreaking research paved the way to today's understanding of air pollution, often at their own detriment. Gary Fuller's global story examines devastating incidents from London's Great Smog to Norway's acid rain; Los Angeles' traffic problem to wood-burning damage in New Zealand. Fuller argues that the only way to alter the future course of our planet and improve collective global health is for city and national governments to stop ignoring evidence and take action, persuading the public and making polluters bear the full cost of the harm that they do. The decisions that we make today will impact on our health for decades to come. The Invisible Killer is an essential book for our times and a cautionary tale we need to take heed of.
In this thought-provoking and urgent e-book, we enter a world where technology and capitalism intertwine in a dangerous and invisible symbiosis. Under the intriguing title of "Surveillance Capitalism, the Invisible Menace," we unravel the hidden secrets behind the practices of dating, personalization, and manipulation that shape the contemporary digital landscape. Throughout its pages, we delve into the bowels of a system in which our most trivial actions are meticulously collected, analyzed, and turned into a treasure trove of personal information. We unravel the complex workings of advanced algorithms, designed to predict our desires and fuel our dependence amid a myriad of captivating digital services. However, the apparent convenience of this digital age comes at a high price. The invisible threat of surveillance capitalism reveals itself as privacy is eroded, diversity of information is limited, and individual autonomy is undermined. We challenge the ethical implications that arise when our lives are reduced to exploitable data sets, making us vulnerable to subtle manipulations that shape our perceptions and decisions. In this in-depth investigation, we confront the concentration of power in the hands of tech giants, whose persuasive and personalized strategies perpetuate a vicious cycle of dependency, threatening innovation and competition. Meanwhile, the shadow of government surveillance hangs over our individual freedoms, raising concerns about social control and democracy. However, in the midst of the challenges presented, we find hope in education and awareness. We pave the way for digital literacy, empowering individuals to make informed decisions and protect their privacy in an increasingly technological environment. We propose responsible regulatory approaches that balance technological advances with the protection of individual rights. "Surveillance Capitalism, the Invisible Threat" is a call to reflection and action. Through understanding the profound impact that dating and over-personalization have on our lives, we can seek a new digital age where privacy is valued, diversity is preserved, and technology is a tool for the well-being of humanity, not an invisible threat that subtly imprisons us.
Science is said to be on the verge of achieving the ancient dream of making objects invisible. Invisible is a biography of an idea, tied to the history of science over the "longue duree." Taking in Plato to today s science, Ball shows us that the stories we have told about invisibility are not in fact about technical capability but about power, sex, concealment, morality, and corruption. Precisely because they refer to matters that lie beyond our senses, unseen beings and worlds have long been a repository for hopes, fears, and suppressed desires. Ideas of invisibility are, like all ideas rooted in legend, ultimately parables about our own potential and weaknesses. Invisible presents the first comprehensive survey of the roles that the idea of invisibility has played throughout time and culture. This territory takes us from medieval grimoires to cutting-edge nanotechnology, from fairy tales to telecommunications, from camouflage to early cinematography, and from beliefs about ghosts to the dawn of nuclear physics and the discovery of dark energy. Invisible reveals what our age-old fantasies about what lurks unseen, and whether we can enter that realm ourselves, truly say about us. "
The most misunderstood force driving health and disease The story of the invention and use of electricity has often been told before, but never from an environmental point of view. The assumption of safety, and the conviction that electricity has nothing to do with life, are by now so entrenched in the human psyche that new research, and testimony by those who are being injured, are not enough to change the course that society has set. Two increasingly isolated worlds--that inhabited by the majority, who embrace new electrical technology without question, and that inhabited by a growing minority, who are fighting for survival in an electrically polluted environment--no longer even speak the same language. In The Invisible Rainbow, Arthur Firstenberg bridges the two worlds. In a story that is rigorously scientific yet easy to read, he provides a surprising answer to the question, "How can electricity be suddenly harmful today when it was safe for centuries?"

Essential reading for the 100 million Americans currently using wireless phones, this thoroughly researched and documented cautionary work stands alongside of such classics as Silent Spring and The Coming Plague. With news reports proliferating of the possible connection between brain tumors and cell phone use, Dr. George Carlo was hired by the cell phone industry in 1993 to study the safety of its product. In 1999 funds for Dr. Carlo's research were not renewed, and the industry sought to discredit him. Undeterred, Carlo now brings his case to the public with a powerful assessment of the dangers posed by the microwave radiation from cell phone antennas—disruption of the functioning of pacemakers, penetration of the developing skulls of children, compromise to the blood-brain barrier, and, most startlingly, genetic damage that is a known diagnostic marker for cancer—as well as a presentation of safeguards that consumers can implement right now to protect their health.
