Bad Air - What are we Breathing?

Kevin B DiBacco

Sinopsis

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 Plea of Innocence -...

Tim Bakken

The Plea of Innocence offers a fundamental reform of the adversarial system: plausibly innocent people may now plead innocent and require the government to search for exonerating facts; in return, they will be required to waive their right to remain silent, speak to government agents, and participate in a search for truth. 
 
 
 
While almost all the participants within the system hope that only guilty people will be convicted, the unfortunate reality is that innocent people are convicted and imprisoned at an alarming rate. With the privatization of defense institutions, accused innocent people are themselves responsible for finding the facts that could exonerate them. Though the poor are represented by public defenders— almost no one who is charged with a crime has enough money to pay for a complete defense—it is still accused people, not public officials, who bear the entire burden of proving their innocence. 
 
 
 
Tim Bakken believes that reform of the three-hundred-year-old adversarial system is overdue, and that the government should be responsible for searching for truth rather than being satisfied with due process. Featuring compelling evidence and concrete steps for reform, The Plea of Innocence is at once sensible and revolutionary, a must-listen for anyone invested in restoring truth to the justice system.

Saundra Yancy McGuire, Stephanie...

Following up on her acclaimed Teach Students How to Learn, that describes teaching strategies to facilitate dramatic improvements in student learning and success, Saundra McGuire here presents these "secrets" direct to students.
