  In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look. And the closer you look, the more fascinating it becomes. In this volume, we look through our magnifying glass at maraschino cherries, frizzy hair, duct tape, pickle juice, yellow school buses, aphrodisiacs, dental implants, and bull testes. If those don’t tickle your fancy, how about aconite murders, shot towers, book smells, Swarovski crystals, French wines, bees, or head transplants? You can also learn about the scientific escapades of James Bond, California’s confusing Proposition 65, the problems with oxygen on Mars, Valentine’s Meat Juice, the benefits of pasteurization, the pros and cons of red light therapy, the controversy swirling around perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), why English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic, and how probiotics may have seeded Hitler’s downfall. 
  		 
  Superfoods, Silkworms, and Spandex answers all your burning questions about the science of everyday life, like:
  		
  		why “superfood” is a marketing term, not a scientific one;
  		why plastic wrap is sometimes the environmental choice;
  		why supplements to reduce inflammation may just reduce your bank account;
  		how maraschino cherries went from a luxury good to a cheap sundae topper;
  		what’s behind “old book smell”;
  		how margarine became a hot item for bootleggers;
  		why duct tape is useful, but not on ducts; and
  		how onstage accidents led to fireproof fabrics.

  Examples of leader actions and decisions—some humorous, some tragic—that will help guide you whether you are a military officer or a civilian in an office.   John Chapman is a longstanding observer and chronicler of leadership events. In Muddy Boots Leadership, he describes 285 military leadership situations and the actions leaders have taken to meet the issue at hand. The leadership lessons learned and relearned by military leaders are applicable to a wide variety of organizations, both civil and military. Many are truly surprising; all are written with a certain “spark” that those in leadership positions will immediately understand. The text is augmented with some truly classic sidebars.  “When officers are being asked to ‘do everything with nothing,’ it costs a leader nothing but muddy boots to walk with them—and it can inspire extraordinary effort . . . It doesn’t take money to get your boots muddy and lead by example. It does take courage and effort.” —Officer.com

  Requiem for America's Best Idea...

  In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J. Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it." In 2013 Yochim was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on the national parks—the treasured wilderness that he loved and to which he dedicated his life. 
   
   
   
  Yochim explains how climate change is already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work, Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions between people and nature and the world that can inspire and destroy them.
