  In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look. And the closer you look, the more fascinating it becomes. In this volume, we look through our magnifying glass at maraschino cherries, frizzy hair, duct tape, pickle juice, yellow school buses, aphrodisiacs, dental implants, and bull testes. If those don't tickle your fancy, how about aconite murders, shot towers, book smells, Swarovski crystals, French wines, bees, or head transplants? You can also learn about the scientific escapades of James Bond, California's confusing Proposition 65, the problems with oxygen on Mars, Valentine's Meat Juice, the benefits of pasteurization, the pros and cons of red light therapy, the controversy swirling around perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), why English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic, and how probiotics may have seeded Hitler's downfall. Superfoods, Silkworms, and Spandex answers all your burning questions about the science of everyday life.

  Psychological Warfare - Using...

  Cito Harder

  Psychological warfare is the deliberate use of tactics designed to influence, manipulate, and control the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors of individuals or groups. It involves the strategic deployment of psychological tactics to achieve specific objectives, often with the goal of weakening the will, confidence, and decision-making abilities of an opponent. Unlike physical warfare, which relies on the use of force and violence, psychological warfare focuses on undermining an adversary’s mental state, creating doubt, confusion, fear, or anxiety. The concept of psychological warfare spans across military, political, social, and personal domains, and its methods are utilized to achieve both large-scale and individual objectives. 
  At its core, psychological warfare operates by exploiting the weaknesses of human perception, beliefs, and emotions. It seeks to manipulate how people think, feel, and act, often in ways that are subtle and hard to detect. Through the strategic use of information, misinformation, fear, and emotional appeals, psychological warfare can alter the course of events and influence outcomes in a way that physical force alone cannot achieve. This manipulation can be direct, as in the use of propaganda, or more covert, as in the use of gaslighting to distort reality and create confusion. 
  Psychological warfare can be seen in many contexts, from international conflict and military operations to corporate competition, political campaigns, and even personal relationships. For example, in warfare, psychological tactics are employed to break the enemy’s morale, instill fear, and create division within their ranks. In the political arena, psychological warfare is often used to manipulate public opinion, spread propaganda, and discredit opponents.

  "The Good Among the Great: 19 Traits of the Most Admirable, Creative and Joyous People" offers an in-depth look at the qualities that make a few high achievers also good people. 
  Using lively stories drawn from his more than 25 years interviewing prominent leaders for CNN, CNBC, and other television news programs, author Donald Van de Mark illustrates the 19 personality traits of self-actualized people, as originally identified by psychologist Abraham Maslow. Van de Mark shows how the traits are exhibited by wonderful, successful people in all walks of life, spanning the famous (Meryl Streep, Charles Schwab, and Andrew Weil) to the great but not well known (Poosie Orr, mother and housewife; Rachel Walton, pediatric hospice nurse; and Andrew Ferguson, teacher). 
  Practical, common-sense guidelines and Takeaways after every chapter show listeners how they can identify and nurture the traits in themselves and others, creating the shortest route possible to personal and professional achievement and fulfillment.
