Professor Rose Anne Kenny has thirty-five years of experience at the forefront of aging medicine. In Age Proof, she draws on her own pioneering research and the latest evidence to demystify why we age and shows us that 80% of our aging biology is within our control: we can not only live longer lives but become happier and healthier deep into our later years.
Effortlessly distilling scientific theory into practical advice that we can apply to our everyday lives, Professor Kenny examines the impact that food, genetics, friendships, purpose, sex, exercise, and laughter have on how our cells age. This illuminating book will show you the steps you can take to stay younger for longer-and will prove that you really are just as young as you feel.

Author: Amy C. Edmondson
Narrator: Kathe Mazur

A revolutionary guide that will transform your relationship with failure, from the pioneering researcher of psychological safety and award-winning Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson. We used to think of failure as the opposite of success. Now, we’re often torn between two "failure cultures": one that says to avoid failure at all costs, the other that says fail fast, fail often. The trouble is that both approaches lack the crucial distinctions to help us separate good failure from bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. After decades of award-winning research, Amy Edmondson is here to upend our understanding of failure and make it work for us.

Author: Diandra L. Leslie-Pelecky, Ray Evernham
Narrator: Christina Delaine

Every NASCAR fan-at one time or another-asks the same question: Why isn’t my favorite driver winning? This is your chance to discover how much more there is to NASCAR than "Go fast, turn left, and don’t crash." If you’ve ever wondered why race cars don’t have mufflers, how "bump drafting" works, or what in the world "Let’s go up a pound on the right rear and add half a round of wedge" means, The Physics of NASCAR is for you. In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800-horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car-and maybe occasionally looks under the hood-can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest.
