  Bestselling popular science author Dr. Joe Schwarcz breaks down the science of essential oils, placenta creams, intermittent fasting, and of course the spread of COVID-19 misinformation in this new collection from the master of demarcating non-science from science
  		 
  Science has gone viral! In more ways than one.
  		 
  Since we first heard rumblings about a novel type of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, terms like pandemic, spike protein, viral particles, variants, mRNA vaccines, antibodies, hydroxychloroquine, social distancing, immune response, convalescent plasma, aerosol transmission, and of course, face coverings, have entered our everyday vocabulary. The scientific literature has exploded with studies exploring every facet of COVID-19, but unfortunately the “viral” spread of misinformation about the pandemic has also reached epic proportions.
  		 
  Science Goes Viral provides a framework for coming to grips with the onslaught of COVID-19 information and misinformation in this ever-changing pandemic. Here, you’ll learn about the first antibodies ever identified, the connection between tonic water and coronavirus, and whether we can zap COVID with copper. And although our thoughts and daily activities have been hijacked by the pandemic, life does go on, as does the pursuit of science. Dr. Joe features his usual array of diverse topics, including biblical dyes, essential oils, Jean Harlow’s hair, Lincoln’s magician, and bioplastics, along with assorted examples of quackery.
  		 
  Delving into the many fascinating facets of science can serve as a welcome distraction from the COVID curse. In fact, enchantment with science can also be contagious. Will you be infected?

  The Sadness Business

  Have you lost a loved one? Your sadness becomes depression. Your child is a little too lively? He or she may be a danger to society. Do you have a penchant for cake? You have a psychiatric disorder.
  The new standard way of thinking about mental health, dictated by the publication of an international guide, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is authorian and overshadows Therapeutic Listening in favor of the drug treatment—its latest version, the DSM-5, lists more than 350 diseases.
  Patrick Landman exposes the abuses of such a takeover—the range of normality is reduced and we all become consumers of psychotropic drugs, and even potential lunatics.

  Endurance - An Epic of Polar...

  The legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance. 
   
   
   
  "You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the Endurance, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. "What the ice gets," replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, "the ice keeps." It did not, however, get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. 
   
   
   
  First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed 1914-1916 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the history of exploration.

  Transportation is the lifeblood of urban ecosystems, a complex network of movement that defines how cities breathe, function, and evolve. More than mere infrastructure of roads, rails, and vehicles, urban transportation represents a sophisticated dance of human mobility, technological innovation, economic strategy, and social connectivity. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate world of Urban Transportation, examining the economic dynamics, technological transformations, and emerging paradigms that are reshaping how people and goods move through increasingly complex metropolitan landscapes. 
  The narrative of urban mobility is a profound reflection of human ingenuity and adaptation, where technological advances, environmental challenges, and changing social needs converge to reimagine transportation systems. By tracing the historical development, current challenges, and future possibilities of urban transportation, this book unveils the multifaceted strategies that cities are developing to create more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive mobility networks. Readers will journey through the intersections of technological innovation, economic planning, environmental sustainability, and social equity—discovering how emerging transportation solutions are not just about moving from point A to point B, but about fundamentally redesigning the way cities function, connect, and support human potential in an increasingly complex and dynamic urban world.
