  Finding Genius: Understanding...

  Although there are many books on sleep, THIS book was created to provide 80 unique, new, thought-provoking expert perspectives (I’m not counting myself as an expert, merely the interviewer of the 80 folks listed herein) all in one place. Another important reason for this book? To help people like you who have sleep problems. 
  Remember when you were younger and you slept like a baby? You could sleep almost anywhere. You laid your head down, closed your eyes, and the next thing you knew, it was time to wake up. You woke up and felt energized, ready for the day ahead. 
  It may have been years since you slept well, but nearly everyone I’ve known has at least one memory of a great night’s sleep. Now that you’re older, perhaps most nights you sleep well; perhaps, like most, most nights you DON’T sleep well, and if you’re lucky, one night a week you sleep better than the others – but it’s not enough to say that you’re sleeping well consistently. 
  From my personal experience in improving my sleep, creating a line of custom-tailored head, huggable and knee-to-ankle pillows, and interviewing well over 124 scientists and sleep entrepreneurs, I’ve learned that there is no one thing you can do to improve your sleep 100%. 
  The reality and the truth of sleeping well? Each tweak to how you sleep and your sleeping conditions will improve your sleep by a few percentage points. The key to sleeping optimally is incorporating multiple ways to improve your sleep. Various improvements – 5% here, 2% there – can add up to a 50% improvement, even an 80% improvement in your sleep. 
  Everyone has seven nights a week to get good sleep or poor sleep. Imagine how your life will improve when you can go from one good night of sleep a week to three, five, or even six good nights a week.

  Before the Streetlights Come On...

  Climate change. Two words that are quickly becoming the clarion call to action in the twenty-first century. It is a voter issue, an economy driver, and a defining dynamic for the foreseeable future. Yet, in Black communities, climate change is seen as less urgent when compared to other pressing issues, including police brutality, gun violence, job security, food insecurity, and the blatant racism faced daily around the country. 
   
   
   
  However, with Black Americans disproportionately impacted by the effects of climate change—making up 13 percent of the US population but breathing 40 percent dirtier air and being twice as likely to be hospitalized or die from climate-related health problems than white counterparts—climate change is a central issue of racial justice and affects every aspect of life for Black communities. 
   
   
   
  In Before the Streetlights Come On, climate activist Heather McTeer Toney insists that those most affected by climate change are best suited to lead the movement for climate justice. McTeer Toney brings her background in politics, community advocacy, and leadership in environmental justice to this revolutionary exploration of why and how Black Americans are uniquely qualified to lead national and global conversations around systems of racial disparity and solutions to the climate crisis.

  Geophysics - The Physics of...

  Geophysics is the branch of Earth sciences that applies the principles of physics to study the Earth's structure, composition, and dynamic processes. It plays a fundamental role in understanding the physical properties of our planet, from the deep interior to the surface and beyond into the atmosphere and magnetosphere. By utilizing various physical measurements and mathematical models, geophysicists investigate phenomena such as earthquakes, gravitational fields, magnetic fields, heat flow, and fluid dynamics. 
  One of the primary objectives of geophysics is to analyze the Earth's subsurface without direct observation, making it an essential tool in fields such as resource exploration, environmental studies, and hazard assessment. Seismic waves generated by natural or artificial sources, for example, allow scientists to infer the structure of the Earth's interior. The variations in Earth's gravity and magnetic fields provide crucial insights into the distribution of mass and the composition of different layers within the planet. 
  Geophysics encompasses a wide range of subfields, each focusing on specific aspects of Earth's physical behavior. Seismology, one of the most well-known branches, studies the propagation of seismic waves to understand earthquakes and the internal structure of the Earth. Geomagnetism examines the Earth's magnetic field, its origins, and its variations over time. Gravimetry focuses on measuring and interpreting variations in the Earth's gravitational field, which can reveal density differences in the subsurface.
