  Balancing Life and Caregiving with Love, Loss, and Resilience in a Moving Memoir 
  In the blink of an eye, Jonathan Knaul’s world shifted from high-stakes military test flights to the intricate dance of caring for his aging mother with dementia. 
  Faced with navigating his mother’s health decline while honoring her fierce independence, Jonathan found himself unprepared for the emotional and practical challenges ahead. As a decorated military test pilot, he was accustomed to split-second decisions, but caregiving demanded a different kind of courage and skill set. 
  Final Approach is more than a caregiving memoir—it’s a holistic guide taking readers from World War II history to end-of-life care to posthumous administration. Revealing intimate family stories from escaping Holocaust concentration camps to finding refuge in Canada, Jonathan expertly intertwines three generations’ hard-won lessons with career crossroads he faced to become a caregiver for his mother. Told through vivid storytelling with a keen eye on the realities of caregiving for loved ones, Final Approach arms readers with the knowledge and strategies you need to provide compassionate, effective care for your loved ones. 
  When you’re thrust into the role of a caregiver, balancing your own life with the needs of an ailing loved one can feel overwhelmingly impossible. Final Approach is an essential read for anyone facing the responsibility of caring for aging loved ones. This heartfelt and candid read will guide you through the turbulent skies of caregiving with compassion, rich stories, and practical advice. Read Final Approach and find the support and solutions you need to care for your loved ones.

  Science is so f*cking rad. We don't deserve it. 
   
   
   
  What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop listening right now. But although most of us don't actually understand quantum physics, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? 
   
   
   
  Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry! 
   
   
   
  Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it's getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.

  What a Bee Knows - Exploring the...

  For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees' mysterious paths and experience their alien world. 
   
   
   
  Although their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans' one hundred billion—bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee's way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann's insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious.

  You are what you eat

  For decades, the medical profession has advocated for nutritional management as a treatment strategy for various illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and excessive cholesterol. There are currently no such recommendations for brain aging and dementia.Nutrition was only recently accorded scientific-field status. Eating is a valid technique for defending oneself against brain aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's. Scientists have gradually realized the vital link between the foods we eat and our mental health. This insight has spawned a rapidly rising body of studies indicating that we may be eating our way to dementia.What has gone unreported until now is that, of all the organs in our bodies, the brain is the one most easily harmed by a poor diet. Everything in the brain, from its architecture to its ability to perform, begs for optimal nutrition. Many of us are ignorant that the only way to fuel the brain is through our food. The meals we eat are broken down into nutrients, absorbed into the bloodstream, and transported to the brain to replenish depleted stores, stimulate cellular responses, and, most critically, be incorporated into brain tissue.We are what we eat!
