Summary

Sonic Booms offers a comprehensive exploration of the science, environmental impact, and potential mitigation strategies related to the thunderous sound created by aircraft exceeding the speed of sound. The book delves into the physics of shockwave formation, explaining how these intense bursts of sound energy affect both natural and built environments. For example, research suggests sonic booms can cause structural damage and disrupt animal behavior, highlighting the far-reaching consequences of supersonic flight. 

 
The book takes a structured approach, beginning with the fundamental physics of sonic boom generation and progressing to detailed analyses of environmental effects, technological solutions, and relevant policies. It examines how advanced aircraft design and flight path optimization can reduce sonic boom intensity. 

 
The material draws upon data from NASA's Quiet Supersonic Technology program, scientific research, and case studies, providing a balanced perspective on the benefits and drawbacks of supersonic travel, making it a valuable resource for those interested in aerospace engineering, acoustics, and environmental science.

    Brushing and flossing are essential components of dental health, but that is not what this book is about! According to Dr. Garcia, a clean mouth becomes “dirty” because of the things done to it or placed in it by conventional dental practices. That’s because traditional dentistry is primarily concerned with pain and appearance. No one likes an aching tooth – it often drives us to the dentist in the first place. And we all want perfectly arranged pearly whites with no gaps. These are not wrong desires, but without proper concern for the patient’s health beyond the oral cavity, long-term damage can be done to vitality and length of life. Teeth, gums, and jawbone are connected to the rest of the body through the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the nervous system. That means that what happens in the mouth never stays there. The materials and procedures used to produce a great-looking smile often dump toxins, pathogens, and other stresses on the oral tissues and the rest of the body that wreak havoc in many places. As a holistic dentist, Dr. Garcia can guide you into good choices about your dental care that will not sacrifice either a good-looking smile or your overall health and longevity. As you’ll soon see, a cleaner mouth does promote a longer life!

    The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
     
     
      
    Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.
