It argues that the season's unique characteristics, such as increased daylight and warmer temperatures, naturally promote physical activity and social engagement. The book delves into how strategically leveraging outdoor environments, such as parks and recreational facilities, and community events can significantly impact health and fitness. Public health surveys reveal the potential of summer as a public health tool.

 
The book examines the science-backed connection between summer and well-being, referencing data from national health surveys and academic research. It investigates how summer-specific social events, like festivals and community sports leagues, combat social isolation, highlighting the importance of social engagement in urban planning.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the core concepts, then delving into the ways summer facilitates physical activity, and finally proposing practical applications and policy recommendations for maximizing the health benefits of summer.

The Private Lives of Public...

Jack Gedney

A book to help the ordinary birdwatcher appreciate the fascinating songs, stories, and science of common birds. 
 
 
 
Jack Gedney's studies of birds provide resonant, affirming answers to the questions: Who is this bird? In what way is it beautiful? Why does it matter? Masterfully linking an abundance of poetic references with up-to-date biological science, Gedney shares his devotion to everyday Western birds in fifteen essays. Each essay illuminates the life of a single species and its relationship to humans, and how these species can help us understand birds in general. A dedicated birdwatcher and teacher, Gedney finds wonder not only in the speed and glistening beauty of the Anna's hummingbird, but also in her nest building. He acclaims the turkey vulture's and red-tailed hawk's roles in our ecosystem, and he venerates the inimitable California scrub jay's work planting acorns. Knowing that we hear birds much more often than we see them, Gedney offers his expert's ear to help us not only identify bird songs and calls but also understand what the birds are saying. The crowd at the suet feeder will never look quite the same again. Join Gedney in the enchanted world of these not-so-ordinary birds.

Creative Chemistry

Edwin E. Slosson

Slosson reviews the transformation of alchemistry from an obscure and imprecise practice to the science of chemistry. Along the way, he explains how the modern industrial world now relies on fertilizers, explosives, textile materials, polymers and metals.By exploring the properties of a once undervalued element, the high strength of vanadium steel made the Ford car possible. Another element, cerium, appears in butane lighters and was once seen as a threat to the match industry in France.In his chapter on oils, Slosson reviews the development of hydrogenated oils, especially during WWII, in the search for a way to reuse otherwise discarded components of corn and cottonseed. Through the revolutionary reaction of hydrogenation, waste materials became a stable product that wouldn't spoil when packaged or carried without refrigeration. Once thought of as a miracle, shoppers were once willing to pay more for fully hydrogenated oils than their natural, unsaturated forms. Only in recent years has evidence of health risks checked their popularity and given them the image of cheap, unhealthy fillers. (Summary by LivelyHive)
