Summary

Skin Barrier Breaks explores how everyday cleaning and cosmetic products can compromise our skin's natural defenses. The book investigates the impact of surfactants on the skin barrier, revealing how these chemicals, found in everything from soaps to detergents, can disrupt the stratum corneum, the skin's outermost layer. Readers will gain insight into how prolonged exposure to surfactants can lead to dryness, inflammation, and increased vulnerability to allergens, emphasizing the importance of informed consumer choices.

 
The book systematically examines the science behind skin damage, starting with the basics of skin barrier function and surfactant chemistry. It then delves into how surfactants interact with skin lipids and proteins, using barrier function studies, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements, and other scientific data to illustrate the mechanisms of damage.

 
The book also discusses surfactant-induced inflammation and immune responses, and explores strategies to minimize surfactant damage. Skin Barrier Breaks connects these findings to broader fields like dermatology and cosmetic chemistry, providing a comprehensive resource for anyone seeking to understand and protect their skin health.

    Fire and flood, train wreck and tornado—a look at the many disasters Chicago has endured over the years. 
     
     
      
    The story of Chicago is often likened to that of a phoenix rising out of the ashes of the Great Fire. Yet that infamous event was only part of the destruction that has shaped Chicago's identity. 
     
     
      
    This unique history explores the calamities that have befallen the Windy City, such as the 1954 killer water surge that swept in on a calm summer day; the 1967 tornado that ripped through rush hour traffic; the 1886 Haymarket Square riot that put Chicago on the anarchist map; and many other acts of nature and human folly. As you witness a fireproof theater burn, a flood rise up without rain, and one of the greatest maritime disasters occur within city limits, you'll gain a new appreciation for how this city has endured through unexpected tragedies and produced many unlikely heroes.

    The UFO Experience - Evidence...

    The case against UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has not been put to rest. Although UFOs "officially" did not exist for decades according to the government, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the latest releases from the government and related hearings have surprised the world. While the scientific community has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is rare and unscientific. 
     
     
      
    Dr. Hynek, a scientist himself, and the only government-paid ufologist in history, looks at the decisions made by officialdom in the early days of ufology and how these decisions have held us back—to the point that we are still naively talking about UFOs as we were in the 1950s. Has seventy years of research made no difference at all in our understanding? 
     
     
      
    Dr. Hynek proves that there is a conspiracy afoot to hide the facts and that there are many cases that still need to be explained by mainstream science—not dismissed with facile jokes and stupid logic. Citing specific cases, Hynek challenges those in the ivory tower by raising questions that have still not been answered and refuting mainstream arguments that have yet to be proven.

    North America was not empty nor were its inhabitants savages when Europeans arrived in 1492. Quite the opposite, North America was thickly populated by indigenous people who lived in clean cities, had a thriving economy, and transformed the landscape into bountiful productivity. Forgotten Landscapes reveals the incredible extent to which Native Americans manipulated and shaped their surrounding environs through agricultural practices and urban engineering, resulting in one of the most prosperous civilizations of their time.Well before European contact, North American cities and villages were bound together by an intricate trade network. Today, Spiro Mound in rural Oklahoma is a few piles of dirt, not on the road to anywhere. But at the time of the Mississippian civilization, about a thousand years ago, it was one of the largest cities in the world. With the controlled use of fire, Native Americans had transformed thick forests into open woodlands and expanded the ranges of prairies. Through organized hunting, Natives controlled the populations of prey animals such as passenger pigeons, and when Native populations grew large enough, they developed agriculture including irrigated crops, and even orchards. In this fascinating and overdue book, author Stanley A. Rice shows his audience the Pre-Columbian landscape of America that has been largely forgotten.
