  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, like:
  		
  		why “superfood” is a marketing term, not a scientific one;
  		why plastic wrap is sometimes the environmental choice;
  		why supplements to reduce inflammation may just reduce your bank account;
  		how maraschino cherries went from a luxury good to a cheap sundae topper;
  		what’s behind “old book smell”;
  		how margarine became a hot item for bootleggers;
  		why duct tape is useful, but not on ducts; and
  		how onstage accidents led to fireproof fabrics.

  2019 closed a decade smoothly in most countries, but an unexpected complication that would change people’s lives worldwide, was slowly brewing. By November, a new virus, similar to many we have faced before, yet hitting harder than many would expect, began to spread across China. By January, the numbers the large country faced were alarming, and the first cases began to appear in far-away countries. By March, things had gotten so out of hand, there were half a million reported cases worldwide, with numbers increasing at an uncontrollable rate in many countries that underestimated the virus’ potential, costing the lives of many individuals. This sudden change in people’s lifestyles (which happened from one day to the next for many), meant a huge, unexpected need for adjustment that pretty much left them with their heads spinning.

  Medications such as Vioxx and procedures such as vertebroplasty for back pain are among the medical "advances" that turned out to be dangerous or useless. What Dr. Vinayak K. Prasad and Dr. Adam S. Cifu call medical reversal happens when doctors start using a medication, procedure, or diagnostic tool without a robust evidence base—and then stop using it when it is found not to help, or even to harm, patients.In Ending Medical Reversal, Drs. Prasad and Cifu narrate fascinating stories from every corner of medicine to explore why medical reversals occur, how they are harmful, and what can be done to avoid them. They explore the difference between medical innovations that improve care and those that only appear to be promising. They also outline a comprehensive plan to reform medical education, research funding and protocols, and the process for approving new drugs that will ensure that more of what gets done in doctors' offices and hospitals is truly effective.
