   The Elements of Marie Curie: How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science by Dava Sobel

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671973 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671973) to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Elements of Marie Curie: How the Glow of Radium Lit a Path for Women in Science Author: Dava Sobel Narrator: Patricia Rodriguez Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 59 minutes Release date: October 17, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Dava Sobel, acclaimed and bestselling author of Longitude, chronicles the life and work of the most famous woman in the history of science – and the untold story of the young women who trained in her laboratory. ‘A fresh and feminist study of the pioneering Nobel laureate reveals her impact on the women she mentored and set on the path to prominence’ Observer ‘It is a novel lens through which to view Curie’s story, and Sobel paints her tale with characteristic deftness and eloquence’ Financial Times For decades Marie Curie was the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings, and despite constant illness she travelled far and wide to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. She is still the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. Her ingenuity extended far beyond the laboratory walls; grieving the death of her husband, Pierre, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two daughters, drove a van she outfitted with x-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life. Approaching Marie Curie from a unique angle, Sobel navigates her remarkable discoveries and fame alongside the women who became her legacy – from Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch and France’s Marguerite Perry, who discovered the element francium, to her own daughter, Irene, a Nobel Prize winner in her own right. The Elements of Marie Curie deftly illuminates the trailblazing life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time. ‘A lucid, literate biography, celebrating a scientific exemplar who, for all her fame, deserves to be better known’ Kirkus ‘As expected from a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Sobel writes beautifully and with clarity about the science that Curie specialised in, making clear the achievements that her lab brought about’ Daily Mail ‘This is an essential read, capturing both [Curie's] genius and her legacy’ New Scientist ‘Sobel’s book is a luminous and illuminating contribution to the cause’ Literary Review

   Counting: Humans, History and the Infinite Lives of Numbers by Benjamin Wardhaugh

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671968 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/671968) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Counting: Humans, History and the Infinite Lives of Numbers Author: Benjamin Wardhaugh Narrator: David Thorpe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 47 minutes Release date: July 18, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting. Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers. Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself

   How Migration Really Works: The Facts About the Most Divisive Issue in Politics by Hein De Haas

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672538 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/672538) to listen full audiobooks. Title: How Migration Really Works: The Facts About the Most Divisive Issue in Politics Author: Hein De Haas Narrator: Matthew Spencer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 13 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: An authoritative guide to global migration that corrects decades of misunderstanding and misguided policy, "defying orthodoxy on all sides of the debate" (Yascha Mounk, author of The Identity Trap). As debates on immigration have reached fever pitch, so has political and media fearmongering. But what are the facts behind the headlines? Drawing on three decades of research, migration expert Hein de Haas destroys the myths that politicians, interest groups, and media spread about immigration. He reveals:    - Global migration is not at an all-time high  - Climate change will not lead to mass migration  - Immigration mainly benefits the wealthy, not workers  - Border restrictions have paradoxically produced more migration  Ultimately, de Haas shows migration not as a problem to be solved, nor as a solution to a problem, but as it really is.   This book is an essential guide to one of our most divisive political issues, showing how we can move beyond today’s deeply polarized debate and make migration work better for everyone.
