Bad Air - What are we Breathing?

Kevin B DiBacco

Synopsis

In an age where we obsess over the food we eat and the water we drink, we rarely think about our most immediate environmental interaction: breathing. "Bad Air" pulls back the curtain on the complex cocktail of pollutants we inhale every day, from the subtle chemicals off-gassing from our furniture to the industrial emissions reshaping our atmosphere.
Author Kevin B. DiBacco takes readers on a compelling journey through the science of air quality, breaking down complex concepts into digestible insights that will forever change how you think about the air around you. The book combines cutting-edge research with practical solutions, offering readers both understanding and actionable steps for protection.
From the shocking truth about indoor air (often more polluted than outdoors) to the hidden dangers in "clean" scents, each chapter reveals another layer of our air quality crisis. But rather than just sound alarms, "Bad Air" empowers readers with specific strategies for creating cleaner air spaces in their homes, offices, and communities.
Whether you're a parent concerned about your children's health, a professional looking to optimize your work environment, or simply someone who breathes, this book provides essential knowledge for navigating our increasingly polluted world. With detailed guides for choosing air purifiers, understanding air quality indexes, and recognizing early warning signs of poor air quality, "Bad Air" serves as both a wake-up call and a practical manual for better breathing.

The next day, local news headlines declared that he fell six points shy of the statewide single game high school scoring record.

Why We Run - A Natural History

Bernd Heinrich

When Bernd Heinrich decided to write a memoir of his ultramarathon running experience he realized that the preparation for the race was as important, if not more so, than the race itself. Considering the physiology and motivation of running from a scientific point of view, he wondered what he could learn from other animals. 
 
 
 
In Why We Run, Heinrich considers the flight endurance of birds, the antelope's running prowess and limitations, and the ultra-endurance of camels to understand how human physiology can or cannot replicate these adaptations. With his characteristic blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical musings, Heinrich offers an original and provocative work combining the rigors of science with the passion of running.
