At Least Know This: Essential Science to Enhance Your Life
by Guy P. HarrisonThis primer on essential scientific literacy gives readers the basics to understand themselves and the world around them, plus a glimpse of how much more science has to offer.Science tells us a good deal about who we are, where we come from, the nature of the universe, how our brains work, and much, much more. Unfortunately, most people are largely unaware of this treasure trove of information. As a result, we are more prone to do things like aim nuclear weapons at each other, inflate the meaning of cultural differences, lay waste to the land, poison and deplete the oceans, fill the sky with carbon, and generally make poor judgments that cause needless trouble.This book seeks to remedy this situation by providing scientific answers to the most basic yet important questions about existence. Following the standard six-question list used by journalists researching a news story, critical-thinking advocate Guy P. Harrison turns to science to answer the who, what, why, when, where and how of life on Earth.How old is our planet? Where did it come from and where is it located in the universe? What is everything made of? When did life begin? Who are we as a species and what connections do we share with other life forms? Why is human culture continuously plagued by war, disease, and crime? Harrison not only offers science's best current answers to these crucial questions but shows how all of this information fits together. Going well beyond the simplistic factoids readily available on any smartphone, he reveals the wider implications and deeper meanings inherent in the scientific worldview.Both entertaining and informative, this exciting tour of the cosmos and human nature will leave readers with an accurate, up-to-date view of realities small and large, near and far.

At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream: Misadventures in Search of the Simple Life
by Wade RouseWe all dream it. Wade Rouse actually did it. Finally fed up with the frenzy of city life and a job he hates, Wade Rouse decided to make either the bravest decision of his life or the worst mistake since his botched Ogilvie home perm: to uproot his life and try, as Thoreau did some 160 years earlier, to "live a plain, simple life in radically reduced conditions."In this rollicking and hilarious memoir, Wade and his partner, Gary, leave culture, cable, and consumerism behind and strike out for rural Michigan-a place with fewer people than in their former spinning class. There, Wade discovers the simple life isn't so simple. Battling blizzards, bloodthirsty critters, and nosy neighbors equipped with night-vision goggles, Wade and his spirit, sanity, relationship, and Kenneth Cole pointy-toed boots are sorely tested with humorous and humiliating frequency. And though he never does learn where his well water actually comes from or how to survive without Kashi cereal, he does discover some things in the woods outside his knotty-pine cottage in Saugatuck, Michigan, that he always dreamed of but never imagined he'd find-happiness and a home.At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream is a sidesplitting and heartwarming look at taking a risk, fulfilling a dream, and finding a home-with very thick and very dark curtains. From the Hardcover edition.
At Leningrad's Gates: The Combat Memoirs of a Soldier with Army Group North
by William Lubbeck<p>“A first-rate memoir” from a German soldier who rose from conscript private to captain of a heavy weapons company on the Eastern Front of World War II (City Book Review).<p> <p>William Lubbeck, age nineteen, was drafted into the Wehrmacht in August 1939. As a member of the 58th Infantry Division, he received his baptism of fire during the 1940 invasion of France. The following spring, his division served on the left flank of Army Group North in Operation Barbarossa. After grueling marches amid countless Russian bodies, burnt-out vehicles, and a great number of cheering Baltic civilians, Lubbeck’s unit entered the outskirts of Leningrad, making the deepest penetration of any German formation.<p> <p>In September 1943, Lubbeck earned the Iron Cross First Class and was assigned to officers’ training school in Dresden. By the time he returned to Russia, Army Group North was in full-scale retreat. In the last chaotic scramble from East Prussia, Lubbeck was able to evacuate on a newly minted German destroyer. He recounts how the ship arrived in the British zone off Denmark with all guns blazing against pursuing Russians. The following morning, May 8, 1945, he learned that the war was over.<p> <p>After his release from British captivity, Lubbeck married his sweetheart, Anneliese, and in 1949, immigrated to the United States where he raised a successful family. With the assistance of David B. Hurt, he has drawn on his wartime notes and letters, Soldatbuch, regimental history, and personal memories to recount his four years of frontline experience. Containing rare firsthand accounts of both triumph and disaster, At Leningrad’s Gates provides a fascinating glimpse into the reality of combat on the Eastern Front.<p>

by Howard Ball"Ball's arguments are concise, compelling, and backed with considerable case law. This volume is highly recommended for upper-level undergraduates and above in law, philosophy, and the medical humanities interested in the 'right to die' debates. Summing up: Highly recommended." —ChoiceOver thepast hundred years, average life expectancy in America has nearly doubled, duelargely to scientific and medical advances, but also as a consequence of saferworking conditions, a heightened awareness of the importance of diet andhealth, and other factors. Yet while longevity is celebrated as an achievementin modern civilization, the longer people live, the more likely they are tosuccumb to chronic, terminal illnesses. In 1900, the average life expectancywas 47 years, with a majority of American deaths attributed to influenza, tuberculosis,pneumonia, or other diseases. In 2000, the average life expectancy was nearly80 years, and for too many people, these long lifespans included cancer, heartfailure, Lou Gehrig’s disease, AIDS, or other fatal illnesses, and with them,came debilitating pain and the loss of a once-full and often independentlifestyle. In this compelling and provocative book, noted legal scholar HowardBall poses the pressing question: is it appropriate, legally and ethically, fora competent individual to have the liberty to decide how and when to die whenfaced with a terminal illness?At Liberty to Die charts how, the rightof a competent, terminally ill person to die on his or her own terms with thehelp of a doctor has come deeply embroiled in debates about the relationshipbetween religion, civil liberties, politics, and law in American life.Exploring both the legal rulings and the media frenzies that accompanied theTerry Schiavo case and others like it, Howard Ball contends that despite ragingbattles in all the states where right to die legislation has been proposed, theopposition to the right to die is intractable in its stance. Combiningconstitutional analysis, legal history, and current events, Ball surveys theconstitutional arguments that have driven the right to die debate.
