  Since a workplace incident, Anton Guinea has been a changed man. He changed the way he worked, to prevent being injured again. He changed his career to allow him to speak to people around the world about safety, and he changed his outlook on life. 
  In this book, Anton considers some of the most important safety topics that he hears from employees and he replies to each of these topics in a very conversational style. This book is a one on one chat with a worker who could be you, someone you work with or someone in your company. 
  Anton's approach is down to earth, and he works with his 'mate' to explore how employees can better understand the safety process and how they can continue to work safely.

  REAL Electric Field Lines? -...

  Peter Pedersen

  This book presents the hypothesis that, in the microscopic domain, "real" lines form between pairs of charges.
  
  These lines exclude forces from other charges and possess their own mechanical properties.
  
  Although highly unusual and speculative, if accepted, this hypothesis yields dramatic and testable consequences:
  
  It directly suggests the theoretical possibility of cold fusion—specifically, the fusion of deuterium nuclei at room temperature. This could unlock a potential energy source that is green, cheap, and virtually unlimited (using heavy seawater as fuel).
  
  The electron energies of arbitrary elements can be calculated in a remarkably simple way, using only a pocket calculator. By contrast, traditional quantum mechanics relies on supercomputers and, even then, yields only approximate results.
  
  A chemical bond can be viewed as a line in the sense defined in this book, meaning only thermal oscillations along the bond are permitted. As a result, calculating specific heat becomes essentially a matter of counting the bonds in a molecule. Consequently, as shown in the book, the specific heat of almost any chemical compound (at room temperature) can be determined quite simply.

  From alpacas to zebus, crocodiles to wombats, journey through the individual histories of bizarre garden pets and their often bizarre owners. Who would dream of keeping a bear in the summerhouse, or a peccary in the park? Find out why the artist Rossetti favoured a wombat over a zebu, and if hares make good pets for depressed poets.
  Dr Twigs Way uncovers a secret world where crocodiles lurk in the fernery and flamingos stalk the shrubberies.

  Hi Anxiety - Life With a Bad...

  Joining the ranks of such acclaimed accounts as Manic, Brain on Fire, and Monkey Mind, a deeply personal, funny, and sometimes painful look at anxiety and its impact from writer and commentator Kat Kinsman. 
  Feeling anxious? Can’t sleep because your brain won’t stop recycling thoughts? Unable to make a decision because you're too afraid you’ll make the wrong one? You’re not alone. 
  In Hi, Anxiety, beloved food writer, editor, and commentator Kat Kinsman expands on the high profile pieces she wrote for CNN.com about depression, and its wicked cousin, anxiety. Taking us back to her adolescence, when she was diagnosed with depression at fourteen, Kat speaks eloquently with pathos and humor about her skin picking, hand flapping, “nervousness” that made her the recipient of many a harsh taunt. With her mother also gripped by depression and health issues throughout her life, Kat came to live in a constant state of unease—that she would fail, that she would never find love . . . that she would end up just like her mother. 
  Now, as a successful media personality, Kat still battles anxiety every day. That anxiety manifests in strange, and deeply personal ways. But as she found when she started to write about her struggles, Kat is not alone in feeling like the simple act of leaving the house, or getting a haircut can be crippling. And though periodic medication, counseling, a successful career and a happy marriage have brought her relief, the illness, because that is what anxiety is, remains. 
  Exploring how millions are affected anxiety, Hi, Anxiety is a clarion call for everyone—but especially women—struggling with this condition. Though she is a strong advocate for seeking medical intervention, Kinsman implores those suffering to come out of the shadows—to talk about their battle openly and honestly. With humor, bravery, and writing that brings bestsellers like Laurie Notaro and Jenny Lawson to mind, Hi, Anxiety tackles a difficult subject with amazing grace.

  The Next Supercontinent -...

  You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming. 
   
   
   
  In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites listeners to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, delves into the phenomena that will birth the next, and presents the case for the future supercontinent of Amasia, defined by the merging of North America and Asia. Introducing listeners to plate tectonic theory through fieldwork adventures and accessible scientific descriptions, Mitchell considers flows deep in the Earth's mantle to explain Amasia's future formation and shows how this developing theory can illuminate other planetary mysteries. He then poses the inevitable question: how can humanity survive the intervening 200 million years necessary to see Amasia? 
   
   
   
  An expert on the supercontinent cycle, Mitchell offers listeners a front-row seat to a slow-motion mystery and an ongoing scientific debate.
