  A wickedly funny, full-color, illustrated sendup of the trendy lifestyle publication GOOP. 
  What is Glop? 
  Glop is a business and a website. But Glop is also a feeling. It’s about picking the right expensive organic eye cream that will make you fit seamlessly into the top tiers of high society and sits next to Bono at a 42-course seitan tasting dinner held in a sex dungeon deep beneath the North Pole. Glop is about being conscious to the tiny details of our lives—what to eat, where to buy your cashmere yoga pants, which juice cleanse will remove the most mercury toxins from both your body and your cashmere yoga pants. Glop is about you. 
  In this scathingly humorous parody, Gabrielle Moss skewers the vanity, elitism, and silliness of the lifestyle website everyone loves to hate. Here are favorite recipes, detoxes, activities, cleanses, beauty tips, juice cleanses, vacation destinations, and a selection of hand creams that will open your third eye—plus lots of celebrity namedropping and more.  
  Glop includes everything from the silly to sublime—make-at-home stem cell moisturizing repair masques, weekend colonics, restorative yoga poses (for when Sting is mad at you about that thing you did), and even the freshest bones for your bone broth. Here, too, are G’s essential tips on parenthood, relationships, work and finances, entertaining, food (well, maybe not food), spirituality, beauty, fashion, home, gifts, kids, and more. Nothing in Glop is sacred—except for a few Indian cows you can’t afford.

  Egyptian Science – Innovations and Discoveries of the Ancient World (3 in 1) offers a captivating dive into the scientific brilliance of ancient Egypt, revealing how a civilization often known for its mysticism was also a beacon of practical knowledge and invention. This collection highlights the remarkable advancements made by Egyptian scholars, physicians, engineers, and astronomers—centuries before many of these concepts reached the rest of the world. 
  The first section explores medicine and anatomy, showcasing how ancient Egyptian doctors performed surgeries, treated wounds, and understood diseases with a surprisingly systematic approach. Medical texts, herbal remedies, and anatomical observations formed the foundation of a health system deeply intertwined with both empirical knowledge and spiritual beliefs. 
  In the second section, readers uncover the mathematical and engineering feats that made the construction of monumental structures like pyramids and temples possible. Discover how Egyptians used geometry, surveying tools, and complex planning techniques to design precise buildings and manage the Nile’s life-giving floods. Their grasp of weights, measurements, and balance was essential to everything from agriculture to architecture. 
  The final section reveals the Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy and timekeeping. They charted celestial movements, created solar calendars, and aligned structures with astronomical events. Whether for agricultural cycles, religious ceremonies, or royal rituals, their scientific innovations were closely tied to their spiritual worldview. This volume shows how ancient Egypt’s legacy is not only in stone but also in knowledge that shaped civilizations to come.

  Lucky Lindy and Lady Lindy

  In many ways, Charles Lindbergh represented the best and worst of America during the first half of the 20th century. Lindbergh became famous for being an aviation pioneer whose solo flight across the Atlantic captured the imagination of an entire world, yet he was an isolationist who wanted to keep American freedoms safe for Americans and no one else. Lindbergh was the quintessential family man, yet he fathered illegitimate children and suffered an unspeakable tragedy that became known as “The Crime of the Century.” Lindbergh embodied some of his era’s greatest virtues and harbored some of its worst prejudices.  
  Lindbergh was a 25 year old U.S. Air Mail pilot who was probably best known for two crashes before shooting to fame with his non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York City to Paris on May 20-21, 1927. Lindbergh was Time Magazine’s first Man of the Year in 1927, and he used his newfound fame to promote the development of commercial flight and become a spokesman and symbol for advances in aviation.  
  In 1928, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, but she was disappointed that she had to do so as a passenger, complaining, “I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes.” But by the mid-1930s, Earhart had set a multitude of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date.  
  The speculation over exactly what happened to Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance remain.
