Broaden yourself!

[Written on December 5, 2014]

Dear Readers,


Three or four times per week, I recommend *valuable* Kindle books on many different topics, so please do check this blog once in a while. Checking every day is easy, just two or three minutes to look at the current batch of titles, five or six each time. Click on whatever seems slightly interesting to you, even if you don't have time to read it today/this month/this year. You can always read a book later.

Today, for example, I posted a book about beekeeping. Although my wife is afraid of bees, and we don't live in the countryside (yet), beekeeping is something I would like to try one day:

2013年車里雅賓斯克小行星撞擊事件


From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor):
The Chelyabinsk meteor was a superbolide caused by a near-Earth asteroid that entered Earth's atmosphere over Russia on 15 February 2013. The object was undetected before its atmospheric entry, in part because its radiant was close to the Sun. Its explosion created panic among local residents and about 1,500 people were injured seriously enough to seek medical treatment. All of the injuries were due to indirect effects rather than the meteor itself, mainly from broken glass from windows that were blown in when the shock wave arrived, minutes after the superbolide's flash. Some 7,200 buildings in six cities across the region were damaged by the explosion's shock wave, and authorities scrambled to help repair the structures in sub-zero (°C) temperatures.
With an estimated initial mass of about 12,000–13,000 metric tonnes[7][8][9] (13,000–14,000 short tons, heavier than the Eiffel Tower), and measuring about 20 metres in diameter, it is the largest known natural object to have entered Earth's atmosphere since the 1908 Tunguska event, which destroyed a wide, remote, forested area of Siberia. The Chelyabinsk meteor is also the only meteor confirmed to have resulted in a large number of injuries.

Raising bees is one small step toward becoming self-sufficient. If properly stored, honey lasts for years. It provides vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances that you can share with your family and friends. What's more, raw honey from certain sources (not pasteurized honey from a supermarket), such as Manuka honey, can be used as a dressing for wounds. This has been known for centuries.

Scientific American 1-minute podcast (January 31, 2012): "Honey Helps Heal Wounds": http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/honey-helps-heal-wounds-12-01-31/
Based on research published in Microbiology: "Manuka honey inhibits the development of Streptococcus pyogenes biofilms and causes reduced expression of two fibronectin binding proteins": http://mic.sgmjournals.org/content/early/2012/01/31/mic.0.053959-0.abstract


Of course, this is just a beginner's book (50+ pages), so the author only covers the basics.
