  Lakes might be the most misunderstood bodies of water on earth. And while they may seem commonplace, without lakes our world would never be the same. In this revealing look at these lifegiving treasures, John Richard Saylor shows us just how deep our connection to still waters run. 
   
    
    
  Lakes is an illuminating tour through the most fascinating lakes around the world. Whether it's Lake Vostok, located more than two miles beneath the surface of Antarctica, whose water was last exposed to the atmosphere perhaps a million years ago; Lake Baikal in southern Siberia, the world's deepest and oldest lake formed by a rift in the earth's crust; or Lake Nyos, the so-called Killer Lake that exploded in 1986, resulting in hundreds of deaths, Saylor reveals to us the wonder that exists in lakes found throughout the world. Along the way we learn all the many forms that lakes take—how they come to be and how they feed and support ecosystems—and what happens when lakes vanish.

  We're Overdosed looks at the history of opium and the drug's spread throughout the world. It traces the origin of morphine from opium, the subsequent synthesis of opioids, and the birth of the global pharmaceutical industry. From Barry I. Gold's point of view as a scientist, he offers thoughts about gaining control of prescription opioids through Federal legislation. With the tragic epidemic of deaths from overdose, chiefly from illicit sources, he shares how the U.S. could lead in eradicating world trade of illicit drugs. The story also looks forward and asks how new treatments offer hope in treating addiction.

  Ecofarmer's Discovery An - How...

  As more farmers move to a regenerative approach to their farming practices, many turn to Ewan who has been farming this way for decades, providing practical answers for practical farmers through growing the greatest soil on earth. 
  Ewan, faced with a failing farm and 'empty pockets', realised that doing things the way they had always been done was what had gotten him to the point of 'farming off the cliff slowly'. Asking the question 'What is soil?' he embarked on a journey of research and trials resulting in a deep understanding of the delicate interaction of the soil, biology, nutrient, plant and ultimately health of the animal and ourselves. 
  Through observation of phenomena, study of concepts and testing Ewan finds solutions to problems that are facing farmers today - always a beneficial outcome. 'Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books' (Albrecht). 
  This book chronicles the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in farming - everything is connected to the soil. If the soil is failing then so is the produce and profitability. In this world of clean and green, Ewan is able to bring back the natural nitrogen cycle in the plant (nitrogen doesn't need to be from a bag) whilst growing and measuring deep carbon levels, beneficial to the water cycle as well. Nature will repair itself and this book will explain how. 
  With the patent for 'Probitas' - a product that amplifies the natural electrical potential of the earth and with his extensive knowledge of soil silicas and free aluminium, Ewan is a force that Big Ag tried to eliminate. 
  Farmers are increasingly looking to heal their land, maintain healthy and productive animals and revitalise and regenerate their farming life and enthusiasm. 
  Ewan puts complex concepts through the 'simplifier' to allow anyone to understand, linking soil-plant-animal-human health. He is often told that nobody else has their feet in the farm like he does.

  Wernher von Braun

  Here is Dr. Wernher von Braun’s incredible story – from his early years in Germany, where he gave birth to modern rocketry, to his arrival in the United States and his launching of the first American satellite, the first man on the moon and other stunning space exploration feats. “Every page of Wernher von Braun’s life is a monument to the drama of adventure. Few people have been fighting so hard and, indeed, very few have been subject to so much criticism, so much jealousy, so much defeat—yet, very few have lived to be honored and to harvest the fruits of so many wonderful victories as has this man.” Author Erik Bergaust has had the advantage of knowing von Braun as a friend, hunting and fishing companion, space business associate—and biographer—for more than twenty-five years. Thus, he has been able to present a dramatic portrait of an important personality and a 20th century hero.
