  An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture 
   
  Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. 
   
  In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’sPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. 
   
  Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture ― and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness ― to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

  As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
   
   
   
  Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
   
   
   
  ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
   
   
   
  ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
   
   
   
  ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
   
   
   
  ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
   
   
   
  ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

  This book takes readers on a thrilling journey through the hidden layers of the cosmos. In Exploring the Invisible, we peer beyond the limits of human sight into a world driven by forces we can’t touch or see—like gravity, dark matter, and the quantum fields that ripple beneath reality. 
  In Invisible Worlds, the adventure continues as we dive into the possibility of hidden dimensions, parallel universes, and strange particles that whisper secrets about how space and time truly work. Scientists are only beginning to uncover the shadowy realms that influence everything from how galaxies form to how atoms behave. 
  Finally, Space's Hidden Forces reveals the quiet rulers of the universe—dark energy expanding space at lightning speed, magnetic fields shaping stars, and neutrinos flying through us every second. These unseen powers may hold the answers to the biggest questions in science, reshaping what we think we know about existence itself.
