    Face size matters! 
    90% of the population reaches adulthood with underdeveloped midfaces and lower jaws. This causes lots of crowding—the teeth, tongue, tonsils, and adenoids are crowded. The nasal septum deviates to one side or the other, ears get congested. The airway is restricted, and the body responds by shifting into the Sympathetic Nervous System. Living in low-level sympathetic mode erodes health. This can contribute to anxiety, headaches, low thyroid, ADHD/ADD symptoms, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and many other common mental or physical health conditions. 
    Dr. Pomerance was part of that 90%. In About Face, she shares her Airway Dentistry expertise regarding face size and health outcomes stemming from years of continuing education, her personal health struggles, and decades of clinical experience, explaining:How facial underdevelopment happensWhat to do to avoid itHow to identify itHow to resolve the underdevelopment to restore health and wellbeing 
    Whether you're a dental professional or simply want to learn more about the subject to improve your quality of life, About Face provides a wealth of information and resources in an accessible, comprehensive format.

    The universe we see is only a small fraction of what actually exists. All the stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae make up less than five percent of the total mass and energy in the cosmos. The rest remains invisible, undetectable by traditional telescopes, and yet it shapes the structure and evolution of everything. Scientists refer to this unseen majority as dark matter and dark energy — mysterious ingredients that hold the key to understanding the true nature of the universe. 
    The mystery began when astronomers started noticing something strange in the way galaxies moved. Based on the visible matter alone, galaxies should not hold together. They rotate so fast that stars on the outer edges should fly off into space. But they don’t. Something must be providing the extra gravity needed to keep them in place. This unseen substance is what scientists call dark matter. It does not emit light, reflect it, or interact with electromagnetic radiation in any detectable way. Yet its gravitational effects are undeniable. 
    In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky was one of the first to point out this discrepancy. He observed clusters of galaxies and found that there wasn’t enough visible mass to account for the gravitational forces at work. He proposed the existence of “dunkle Materie,” or dark matter, to explain the missing mass. His ideas were largely ignored at the time, but decades later, further evidence confirmed his observations. Today, dark matter is widely accepted as a fundamental part of the universe, even though we still don’t know what it’s made of.

    “Craig Raleigh puts hunting into modern perspective, combining higher sensibilities and his firsthand insight into the hunting world to gently illuminate a part of human nature that was, and still is, among the purest of human endeavors.” —Jim Shockey, award-winning writer and host of Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures and Uncharted 
    A thoughtful appreciation of hunting and a celebration of the outdoors that illuminates the hunter’s psyche, role, and influence on our culture. 
    ""As we began to set foot in the outdoors we didn’t expect to learn something beyond where the deer were running or where the ducks were flying. Once we realized what these creatures really wanted, it was the opening of truth for us as hunters."" 
    A long-time hunter and fisherman and senior writer at Wide Open Spaces, Craig Raleigh has spent most of the last forty-five years of his life trying to find that elusive Holy Grail of hunting, that unimagined outdoor reality where one’s training, instinct, and experience converge into extraordinary bliss and accomplishment. He is the first to admit, that this does not entail the capture of a deer or an ever-evasive pheasant. It is the freedom to give back to the outdoors as much as one takes from it. For hunters, a life lived in the outdoors is massively rewarding and offers non-stop pleasures. It comes with the love of camaraderie, choice, and reward, and provides a deep appreciation for the nature world. 
    The Hunter’s Way is his meditative and philosophical journey into the soul of a hunter. Divided into four parts that mirror the hunting experience—the background, the preparation, the hunt, and the harvest—it addresses the paradox of hunting as conservationism, ruminates on the failures and successes of hunting as sport and as a way of life, and reveals how hunting influences our society. 
    As Raleigh explains, the hunt is so much more than the kill. Most often, the hunter leaves the woods and fields empty-handed. Rather, the beauty of hunting is in the experience itself. As a hunter, you are constantly looking for clues. Yet in nature, signs are changeable, confusing, and never the same the second time. A captivating synthesis of On Trails, Norwegian Wood, and Shop Class as Soulcraft, The Hunter’s Way is a literary reflection and love letter to the value of hunting as both sport and way of life.
