  The National Road - Dispatches...

  This collection of "eloquent essays that examine the relationship between the American landscape and the national character" serves to remind us that despite our differences we all belong to the same land (Publishers Weekly). 
   
   
   
  What does it mean when a nation accustomed to moving begins to settle down, when political discord threatens unity, and when technology disrupts traditional ways of building communities? Is a shared soil enough to reinvigorate a national spirit? 
   
   
   
  From the embaattled newsrooms of small town newspapers to the pornography film sets of the Los Angeles basin, from the check–out lanes of Dollar General to the holy sites of Mormonism, from the nation's highest peaks to the razed remains of a cherished home, like a latter–day Woody Guthrie, Tom Zoellner takes to the highways and byways of a vast land in search of the soul of its people. 
   
   
   
  By turns nostalgic and probing, incisive and enraged, Zoellner's reflections reveal a nation divided by faith, politics, and shifting economies, but—more importantly—one united by a shared sense of ownership in the common land.

  The Phantom Universe – A Glimpse into Hidden Dimensions pulls back the veil on the strangest theories and most daring ideas in modern physics and cosmology. This 3-in-1 volume takes readers on a thrilling intellectual journey through realities that may exist beyond the visible and measurable, challenging everything we thought we knew about the cosmos. 
  In The Phantom Cosmos, you'll explore the possibility of unseen structures influencing our universe—from shadow matter and mirror worlds to exotic particles that slip through our detectors unnoticed. Could the cosmos be home to entities or forces that never interact with light but still shape the fabric of space? 
  The Hidden Cosmos pushes even further, diving into theories of extra dimensions, parallel universes, and multiverse models. Drawing on ideas from string theory, M-theory, and cutting-edge astrophysics, this section unpacks how the universe might be far bigger, stranger, and more complex than our three-dimensional perception allows. 
  Finally, The Secret Universe explores the philosophical and scientific implications of a cosmos filled with secrets—hidden realms of energy, folded dimensions, and quantum anomalies. Could consciousness itself be linked to these unseen realities? Is our universe just one of countless others drifting in a higher-dimensional space? 
  Perfect for fans of speculative science and big questions, The Phantom Universe invites you to journey past the limits of ordinary thought and consider realities that may be hidden just beyond our reach. Blending science, imagination, and logic, this book reveals a universe far more mysterious—and magical—than we ever dreamed.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.
