  The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

  Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
   
   
   
  In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
   
   
   
  With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.

  Finding Genius: Understanding...

  Although there are many books on sleep, THIS book was created to provide 80 unique, new, thought-provoking expert perspectives (I’m not counting myself as an expert, merely the interviewer of the 80 folks listed herein) all in one place. Another important reason for this book? To help people like you who have sleep problems. 
  Remember when you were younger and you slept like a baby? You could sleep almost anywhere. You laid your head down, closed your eyes, and the next thing you knew, it was time to wake up. You woke up and felt energized, ready for the day ahead. 
  It may have been years since you slept well, but nearly everyone I’ve known has at least one memory of a great night’s sleep. Now that you’re older, perhaps most nights you sleep well; perhaps, like most, most nights you DON’T sleep well, and if you’re lucky, one night a week you sleep better than the others – but it’s not enough to say that you’re sleeping well consistently. 
  From my personal experience in improving my sleep, creating a line of custom-tailored head, huggable and knee-to-ankle pillows, and interviewing well over 124 scientists and sleep entrepreneurs, I’ve learned that there is no one thing you can do to improve your sleep 100%. 
  The reality and the truth of sleeping well? Each tweak to how you sleep and your sleeping conditions will improve your sleep by a few percentage points. The key to sleeping optimally is incorporating multiple ways to improve your sleep. Various improvements – 5% here, 2% there – can add up to a 50% improvement, even an 80% improvement in your sleep. 
  Everyone has seven nights a week to get good sleep or poor sleep. Imagine how your life will improve when you can go from one good night of sleep a week to three, five, or even six good nights a week.
