    The author of acclaimed memoirs about life on a French olive farm explores the larger history and culture of the Mediterranean delicacy. Carol Drinkwater has a passion for olive trees and the fruit they bear—“bitter berries” that are transformed into savory delights and pressed into precious oil. Already intimately familiar with the fruit thanks to her olive farm in the South of France, she decided to travel throughout the Mediterranean basin—from Marseille to Malta, Israel to Tunisia—in a quest to learn about their ancient history, their spread throughout the world, and the tastes and traditions they represent. A culinary travelogue and a celebration of a humble, healthful food that inspires devotion among so many, The Olive Route is filled with unusual characters and fascinating anecdotes from “a storyteller of great economy and deftness” (The Telegraph). “Drinkwater has a sharp eye for character, and the people who populate The Olive Route will not disappoint her fans.” —The Independent

His tell-all book, Let’s Clear Things Up, explains the differences between optional and necessary surgery, the benefits of minimally invasive procedures, and natural ways to correct sinus problems all on our own. Get informed so that when you walk into a clinic, the air between you and your doctor is clear enough to get you breathing right the first time.

    "Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" is a seminal work by Albert Einstein, first published in 1916, designed to explain the groundbreaking theories that reshaped our understanding of the universe. In this accessible text, Einstein introduces readers to the Special Theory of Relativity, which addresses the relationship between space and time, and the General Theory of Relativity, which expands these concepts to include gravity as the curvature of space-time caused by mass and energy. Written for the layperson, Einstein employs clear language and thought experiments to elucidate complex ideas such as time dilation, length contraction, and the equivalence principle, making this book a cornerstone of modern physics and a must-read for anyone interested in the fundamental nature of reality.
