    In From Terrain to Brain, Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine. 
     
     
     
    Too often, wine science is presented as a comprehensive body of knowledge that enthusiasts aiming to become experts should memorize. This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon. By foregrounding recent research and developments in wine science, From Terrain to Brain presents wine science as a work-in-progress rather than a codified body of knowledge. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter takes listeners on a journey or "foray" through a topic in wine science, such as minerality, climate, microbiome, and yeast. Chapters are organized from "terrain" (geography, terroir, soil) and cell "membrane" (microbiology) through "brain" (the experience of tasting) and "drain" (sustainability). Throughout, From Terrain to Brain emphasizes that wine science, wine culture, and tradition are interconnected and places scientific research in social and historical context.

    The Theory of Evolution Is In a Crisis 
    In the updated second edition of Evolution's Final Days, John Morrison presents compelling arguments and new evidence that challenge the mainstream understanding of evolution. This edition is enriched with additional chapters and fully sourced information. 
    Jun-Yuan Chen, a renowned paleontologist, once observed: "In China, we can criticize Darwin, but not the government. In America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin." This statement underscores the controversial nature of evolutionary theory—a central theme of Morrison’s book. 
    Evolution's Final Days explores the complexities of evolution as it is currently taught in educational institutions worldwide. From the primordial soup to the diverse species inhabiting the Earth today, including the descent of humans from apes, Morrison scrutinizes these concepts. He then unveils what textbooks omit, casting the theory of evolution in a radically new light. 
    By the end of this book, readers will understand why the traditional narrative of evolution might not hold up as claimed. Morrison calls for a community-driven approach to advocate for scientific integrity and a true representation of evolutionary theory. 
    This book is designed to provoke thought, whether you're a newcomer to the topic or a seasoned scholar with a PhD in evolutionary studies. Prepare to challenge what you've been told and discover intriguing facts that could reshape your understanding of life itself. 
    Dive into the debate and see why Evolution's Final Days claims that the theory of evolution is nearing its end. Click the "Buy Now" button and start your journey into the science behind evolution's controversial discussion today!

    A week-by-week account of the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a different kind of health care front line worker—a marketing leader—at one of the nation’s and world’s leading health care systems.  
    "This candid collection of daily emails from a health industry insider offers a unique glimpse at the daily realities of working during Covid. From pandemic fatigue to staycations and Thanksgivings on Zoom, these stories will take you back to a time you might want to forget. Despite the understandable urge to leave the pandemic behind, Comeau proves that sometimes looking back can not only be therapeutic ... it might offer exactly the perspective we all need to continue to move forward too."  
    - Rohit Bhargava, WSJ Bestselling Author of Non-Obvious Thinking + Non-Obvious Megatrends 
    During the early stages of coronavirus, Amy Moudy Comeau, MBA, an award-winning and acclaimed marketing executive, began writing weekly emails to her Emory Healthcare marketing team every Friday, as a form of encouragement and support to get them through eight weeks of shelter-in-place, which turned into a three-year pandemic. 
    Amy’s Friday emails became a weekly tradition, providing support and even levity during this transformational time. Years later, these time-stamped entries, along with present-day commentary from the author giving insight and hindsight reflections on the pandemic, leadership, self-care and marketing, provide a unique snapshot back into those “unprecedented” days of the pandemic.  
    Every Storm Runs Out of Rain gives insightful lessons on leadership and resilience, and finding the silver lining in the middle of a crisis.
