Fool night. by Yasuda, Kasumi,author,artist.; Loe, Casey,translator.(CARDINAL)462407; Aharon, Snir,artist.(CARDINAL)796594;
"The earth of the distant future is covered in thick clouds, and the sun no longer shines. Plants wither, and oxygen is thin. To fight extinction, humankind has developed a technology that turns humans into plants, providing a small amount of oxygen. Is this process sustainable? Is it ethical? Toshiro Kamiya must consider these questions as he's faced with a difficult choice--save his family or save himself. Struggling in poverty and slowly transforming, Kamiya must figure out how to spend the two brief years of humanity he has left after undergoing the transfloration procedure. The vine growing from his stomach has made him question his relationship with his mother and his employment at Transflora Medical. Meanwhile, Kamiya's childhood friend Hourai assists in the investigation of a string of murders committed by a spiriflor." -- Publisher.Rated: T+, Older teen, for realistic violence and existential themes.

Breath : the new science of a lost art / by Nestor, James,author.(CARDINAL)497224;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-269) and index."No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how resilient your genes are, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Science journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong with our breathing and how to fix it. Why are we the only animals with chronically crooked teeth? Why didn't our ancestors snore? Nestor seeks out answers in muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil. He tracks down men and women exploring the science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that changing the ways in which we breathe can jump-start athletic performance, halt snoring, rejuvenate internal organs, mute allergies and asthma, blunt autoimmune disease, and straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again." --

Breathe deep : an illustrated guide to the transformative power of breathing / by Blaise, Misha Maynerick,1977-author.(CARDINAL)414710;
Includes bibliographical references."Breathing happens. All day long you are sustained by the movement of air in and out of your lungs. Because it's a natural function most people don't give much thought to it. But when you consciously engage your breath, incredible things can happen. Filled with vibrant art, meaningful quotes, practical exercises, and lighthearted humor, Breathe Deep stoked the curious mind and inspires a deeper relationship with the power of breath. Drawing upon both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, Breathe Deep delves into the mechanics of respiration and the proven physical and emotional benefits of conscious breathing. As a bridge that unites body and mind, breath work is a powerful tool that can be used to calm anxiety and transform limiting mindsets."--

Breathing lessons : a doctor's guide to lung health / by Han, MeiLan K.,author.;
"An authoritative, accessible guide to how our lungs work and how to protect them. Most of us pay little attention to the workings of our lungs, but the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked interest in their functioning and fear about the risks they face. Dr. MeiLan K. Han, a leading pulmonologist and a national spokesperson for the American Lung Association, takes readers on a fascinating tour of this most vital organ. Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body's first line of defense. She provides a timely overview of the latest scientific thinking about the leading respiratory risks--including indoor and outdoor pollution, smoking and vaping, wildfire smoke, and viruses like SARS-CoV-2--and offers a practical guide to keeping lungs healthy. With authority as both practitioner and medical researcher, she argues powerfully for a social policy that makes a priority of preserving lung health nationwide"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- How the lungs work -- The battle within: your lungs versus the world -- Protecting your lungs for life -- How pulmonologists think: the science and art of diagnosing lung disease -- A short guide to chronic lung diseases -- The fifth vital sign.

Universal in reach, the world-system is out of control, and we are all its victims ... and its creator."--Page 4 of cover.Hugo Award winner, 1969.Nebula Award nominee, 1969.
