  Awkward - The Science of Why...

  In the vein of Quiet and The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth comes this illuminating look at what it means to be awkward—and how the same traits that make us socially anxious and cause embarrassing faux pas also provide the seeds for extraordinary success. 
  As humans, we all need to belong. While modern social life can make even the best of us feel gawky, for roughly one in five of us, navigating its challenges is consistently overwhelming—an ongoing maze without an exit. Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, we feel out of sync with those around us. Though individuals may recognize their awkward disposition, they rarely understand why they are like this—which makes it hard for them to know how to adjust their behavior. 
  Psychologist and interpersonal relationship expert Ty Tashiro knows what it’s like to be awkward. Growing up, he could do math in his head and memorize the earned run averages of every National League starting pitcher. But he couldn’t pour liquids without spilling and habitually forgot to bring his glove to Little League games. In Awkward, he unpacks decades of research into human intelligence, neuroscience, personality, and sociology to help us better understand this widely shared trait. He explores its nature vs. nurture origins, considers how the awkward view the world, and delivers a welcome counterintuitive message: the same characteristics that make people socially clumsy can be harnessed to produce remarkable achievements.  
  Interweaving the latest research with personal tales and real world examples, Awkward offers reassurance and provides valuable insights into how we can embrace our personal quirks and unique talents to harness our awesome potential—and more comfortably navigate our complex world.

  This book is essential for mediators and other professionals who serve people in conflict (e.g., lawyers, therapists, hairdressers, and bartenders). It will also prove invaluable if you are considering hiring a mediator to help you with your own dispute. By the end of the book, you will be well prepared to navigate the world of mediation, and may even learn a thing or two about resolving your own conflicts! 
  PRAISE FROM MEDIATION STUDENTS 
  Dr. Neil Katz (Nova Southeastern University, Maxwell School of Syracuse University) has been assigning The Mediator’s Approach to his graduate-level mediation students since the Spring of 2022. Here’s a sample of what his students had to say: 
  “This really is a fabulous little book. I really enjoyed reading it – I initially got the Kindle version, but I have subsequently ordered an actual version so I can refer to it more easily and share with others. I almost wish I had read it before taking the course, and again at the conclusion.” 
  “Tara West’s book puts what were to me initially intimidating topics in a very relatable and easily digestible format. It helped me to process at a high level the various techniques and strategies mediators take in the various approaches that we studied throughout the semester.”

  In the 1970s, Dr. Alan Scott sought to selectively weaken eye muscles to treat strabismus (when one or both eyes are misaligned) without surgery. After failed attempts with other agents, Scott developed a method to stabilize the bacteria that causes botulism, culminating in a drug that eventually became known as Botox. 
   
   
   
  In Death to Beauty, Eugene M. Helveston, MD, follows the unlikely story of botulism's 1817 discovery in contaminated German sausages, to its use in military and research facilities, to Scott, an ophthalmologist who aimed to safely use the drug in humans. Scott struggled alone as an unknown in the pharmaceutical industry, searching for clinical trial financing and FDA approval, which he achieved at a fraction of the billions big pharma usually spends to bring a drug to market. Eventually, the company Allergan bought him out, capitalizing on the possibilities for cosmetic uses. Scott's formula was renamed "Botox" and reached annual sales in the billions. After the sale, Scott received no further compensation from Botox sales and remained the same unassuming man. 
   
   
   
  A fascinating walk through the intricate history of how the world's deadliest toxin starting as a treatment for crossed eyes became a routine tool for the cosmetic industry, Death to Beauty will make you rethink success, beauty, and deadly bacteria.

  ALFRED HITCHCOCK 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Alfred Hitchcock was an influential English film director, known as the "Master of Suspense". His career spanned six decades, during which he directed over 50 feature films. Hitchcock began in the film industry as a title card designer, and his directorial debut was in 1925 with The Pleasure Garden. His early thrillers, like The Lodger (1927), The 39 Steps (1935), and The Lady Vanishes (1938) gained him recognition. He moved to Hollywood in 1939, producing successful films such as Rebecca (1940). Hitchcock's style is characterized by suspense, visual storytelling, and recurring themes like mistaken identity and voyeurism. He was also known for his cameo appearances in his films and his TV series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Hitchcock never won an Academy Award for Best Director. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Alfred Hitchcock's father sent him to the local police station with a note when he was five, and the police locked him in a cell for a few minutes, which gave him a lifelong fear of law enforcement. He was so scared of the law that he refused to drive a car in case he got a parking ticket. 
    
  Hitchcock was fascinated by maps and train timetables, and he could even recite all the stops on the Orient Express. Many of his films include rail or tram scenes, and he would whisper London tram route names based on the clapperboard numbers. 
    
   Hitchcock worked as a technical clerk at the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company, and then in the advertising department, which he called his "first step toward cinema". He also enjoyed reading trade papers and watching films by Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Buster Keaton.
