Summary

Fire Rainbow Science explores the mesmerizing world of circumhorizontal arcs, often mistaken for rainbows. These vibrant displays of light occur when sunlight refracts through hexagonal ice crystals in cirrus clouds, painting the sky with spectral colors. The book delves into the atmospheric optics behind this phenomenon, revealing how specific conditions, like temperature and sunlight angle, must align for these "fire rainbows" to appear.

 
The book progresses from fundamental meteorological principles to advanced concepts like ice crystal morphology and atmospheric radiative transfer. By analyzing observational data, satellite imagery, and computer simulations, it reveals the predictable nature of these seemingly rare events.

 
Discover how climate change may influence the frequency and distribution of circumhorizontal arcs, and gain practical skills for observing and photographing these breathtaking displays. This unique resource offers a comprehensive synthesis of scientific literature and visual representations, making complex light interactions accessible to weather enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone curious about atmospheric phenomena. It bridges earth science, climate science, and even art, providing a holistic understanding of this stunning natural spectacle.

    Bridget Jones meets AJ Jacobs in Wellmania, an in-depth, laugh-out-loud exploration of the best and worst of the wellness industry. 
     
     
     
    Cold-pressed juices, "clean" eating, colonic vacations, mindfulness apps, and Paleo: health-care trends and miracle diets seem to be more plentiful each year. But do any of these tactics actually work? What does "wellness" even mean? 
     
     
     
    In Wellmania, longtime journalist Brigid Delaney tackles the good, the bad, and the just-a-little-ridiculous of the wellness industry, using herself as the guinea pig. Starting with a brutal 101-day fast, she leaves behind her thirty-something-year-old lifestyle of late-night parties and all-day hangovers to test the things that are supposed to make us healthy and whole: yoga classes, meditation, CBT, Balinese healing, silent retreats, group psychotherapy, and more. Writing with self-deprecating wit and refreshing honesty, she sorts through the fads and expensive hype to find out what actually works, while asking, What does all this say about us? Is total wellness even possible? And why do you start to smell so bad when you haven't eaten in seven days? According to comedian Judith Lucy, the result is "bloody entertaining" and "leaves you wondering whether you want to do yoga or get mindlessly drunk and despair at the state of the world."

    “Hanley’s dyslexia makes this audio format especially significant, as it represents an accessible way for readers with learning disabilities, just like him, to comprehend and enjoy his story.”—Booklist This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
