Brandy Schillace
Acerca de esta escucha
We might be afraid of lions, tigers, and bears (oh, my!), but much more frequently, our worst foes come without teeth and claws and in teeny, tiny packages.
In These Six Things Will Kill You, medical historian Brandy Schillace introduces you to half a dozen deadly forces, often microscopic and invisible, that might be coming for you at this very moment.
Dr. Schillace will introduce you to bacteria and fungi; cancer, Lyme, and heart disease; and some of the ways the very environment around us is out to get us. She will also arm you with the knowledge of how to avoid these fatal elements when possible, and what modern science is doing to help us protect ourselves against them. Dr. Schillace will also introduce you to the growing field of personalized medicine and how your unique genome might dictate which of these diseases you should be giving particular attention.
Whether you are young or old, healthy or frail, this course offers pragmatic guidance on how to avoid disease and reduce your risk for early death.

Along the way, you’ll learn how monster stories change how Americans think and what Americans do, how they shape the history of our country, and what secrets about human nature these inhuman monsters can share.

Every year has its share of notable events, but some years seem to capture the essence of a decade in a handful of months. The year 1954 is one such year. It began in January with a celebrity marriage heard round the world and then progressed through a series of major political, social, and cultural milestones that would echo through the next several decades. The years following World War II were a time of increased wealth and confidence, years that saw the rise of a solid, increasingly powerful middle class in America.

In these 10 eye-opening lectures by a practicing doctor and medical educator, you’ll walk through a series of medical mystery cases ripped from history and involving well-known historical figures whose identities are nevertheless hidden from you. Every one of these cases requires you to use your detective skills to identify and diagnose the mystery patient just like the doctors that attended them. In the process, you’ll learn fascinating insights into medicine: both the medicine that was practiced thousands of years ago and the medicine doctors practice today.

Who wrote Great Expectations? That’s easy: Charles Dickens. Who’s the author of Beloved? Toni Morrison, of course. Now how about the Old Testament? You’d think for a book as widely known, studied, and distributed as the Bible, the question of authorship would have been sorted out by now. But the question is more complex (and fascinating) than it seems. Why? Because asking it is to challenge everything we might assume about the Bible’s identity as a book, about what “writing” and “authorship” really mean, and about how a written text could become sacred.

The proliferation of social media platforms and our increasing reliance on the internet for connection and communication has caused the line between the “real” world and the online world to blur. So much of our lives can be impacted by online interactions—and not all those interactions are positive. Why does the internet seem to encourage bad behavior from some users? Why do we feel we need to share so much of our private lives with the online world? Is screen time really as addictive as the headlines say?

Every hero works to soothe the fears of the people during their period in history. Heroes are not only brave, but they’re also able to navigate the convoluted corridors of society, and to see through the respectable pretense of others to detect the evil that lies within. So, who better to take on the foggy, crime-ridden streets and strict social mores of Victorian London than the iconic literary detective Sherlock Holmes? In Sherlock Holmes: Beyond the Elementary, you’ll investigate the history behind Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s whip-smart, charismatic detective.

Numbers. Like the alphabet, they’re one of the most elementary of concepts learned and memorized at a young age; but outside of figuring out tips and taxes, you probably haven’t given much thought to them since then. To a mathematician, every number has its own unique properties and personality - and when studied, played with, and manipulated, numbers can actually be tons of fun.

The stuff of conspiracy theories makes for great, entertaining stories in movies, books, and television. And there is no shortage of subjects: from who really killed JFK to the truth behind 9/11. And then, there are subjects from alien invasions to the Moon landing was simulated - theories that are truly out of this world, which according to some, is flat. Many of these crazy concepts have jumped off the pages or screens to become so pervasive in our culture that thousands - even millions - subscribe to them as reality.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

It’s quite common to struggle with stress and anxiety in everyday life. To regret things you can’t change. To worry about things that could go wrong in the future. But instead of feeling stuck in thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow, it’s possible to be more present in the rich experiences of today. The key is simple: mindfulness. In Mindfulness for Daily Stressors, mindfulness coach Rachael Kable shares practical and powerful strategies for managing stress in your life, and for cultivating mindfulness to develop greater resilience, energy, and enjoyment.

Though frightening by the title alone, this series of lectures thoroughly lays out information about each “thing that will kill you” without sensationalism or hyperbole. The straightforward and easy to follow presentation made listening and learning a very enjoyable and valuable experience.

Add a little paranoia to your life…
This very quick book will add a little paranoia to your life by telling you about six very common things that can kill you. Starts with cancer and suggests reasons why it has become much more common (we live longer, so more of us survive to suffer from it). The book then moves on to do similar things with heart disease, bacteria, fungi, Lyme’s disease, and toxic water.

Interesting but Troubling
This very quick Great Courses book will add a little paranoia to your life by telling you about six very common things that can kill you if you’re unlucky enough to encounter them. Starting with cancer, Shillace offers a little historical knowledge about cancer and suggests reasons that it has become more common (we live longer, so more of us survive to suffer from it). Then she moves on to do similar things with heart disease, bacteria, fungi, Lyme’s disease, and toxic water. It's an interesting but frankly troubling discussion.

Truly Interesting and Informative!
Although I would probably never "read" this book I very mych enjoyed listenibg to it! The audiobook is tuly Interesting and informative with a great narative production. I learned a lot and at a minimum will now take steps to better prepare myself, i.e. spraying my clothes with a tick repellant prior to heading on a hike with my dog during the season and avoiding lakes where I see blue green algae. Thanks for the info and advice!

Unbearably perky narration
The middle school pep rally style of delivery completely distracts from the interesting and worthwhile info. I had to bail in the second lecture despite being very interested in heart disease- it was just too off putting!

Where are the editors?
I only listened to about half an hour of this audiobook. I found the narration unbearable, with the tone and constant inflection reminiscent of a kindergarten teacher trying to keep everyone's attention.
And then there are small but frequent errors: Watson and Crick did not discover the chemical structure of DNA; they discovered its physical structure. She calls pericarditis an inflammation of the heart's lining; it is actually an inflammation of the sac that surrounds the heart.
There are others. These are admittedly small errors, but frequent enough to disturb my listening and should not be made by a professional writer of the history of science.
I'm returning this one.
