Bad Air - What are we Breathing?

Kevin B DiBacco

Summary

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 Ageless Call to Serve -...

LTC Lanny Snodgrass MD

An eighteen-year-old in the United States is still barred from buying alcohol, acquiring a pilot's license, or stepping into a casino. Yet, astonishingly, they can be enlisted in the military and deployed to a war zone. On the other side of the age spectrum, individuals over thirty-nine often encounter insurmountable obstacles to enlistment. 
 
 
 
Break this mold and meet Lanny Snodgrass, who, at the age of sixty-three, became the oldest American to join the Army and complete officer basic training. It was 2003, the Iraq War had just started, and the Pentagon momentarily relaxed age requirements. 
 
 
 
With around four decades of experience treating veterans and active-duty military personnel, many teenagers grappling with psychiatric illnesses such as PTSD, depression, and suicidality, Dr. Snodgrass bears unique insight into the perils of sending young soldiers to war. 
 
 
 
Dr. Snodgrass poses critical questions about the limits of service and whether these age constraints should be maintained or relaxed. It's not an overstatement, then, to say that The Ageless Call to Serve presents a life-and-death proposition on how to build a more resilient, professional military force.

Negotiating in Civil Conflict -...

Haider Ala Hamoudi

In 2005, Iraq drafted its first constitution and held the country’s first democratic election in more than fifty years. Even under ideal conditions, drafting a constitution can be a prolonged process marked by contentious debate, and conditions in Iraq are far from ideal: Iraq has long been racked by ethnic and sectarian conflict, which intensified following the American invasion and continues today. This severe division, which often erupted into violence, would not seem to bode well for the fate of democracy. So how is it that Iraq was able to surmount its sectarianism to draft a constitution that speaks to the conflicting and largely incompatible ideological view of the Sunnis, Shi’ah, and Kurds? Haider Ala Hamoudi served in 2009 as an adviser to Iraq’s Constitutional Review Committee, and he argues here that the terms of the Iraqi Constitution are sufficiently capacious to be interpreted in a variety of ways, allowing it to appeal to the country’s three main sects despite their deep disagreements. While some say that this ambiguity avoids the challenging compromises that ultimately must be made if the state is to survive, Hamoudi maintains that to force these compromises on issues of central importance to ethnic and sectarian identity would almost certainly result in the imposition of one group’s views on the others. Drawing on the original negotiating documents, he shows that this feature of the Constitution was not an act of evasion, as is sometimes thought, but a mark of its drafters’ awareness in recognizing the need to permit the groups the time necessary to develop their own methods of working with one another over time.
