Lifestyle Show

From class struggle to crass struggle; that is the defining feature of the times. And the genius of today's political economy has been to convert what used to be a potential life-and-death conflict between haves and have-nots into a minor disagreement between have-lots and wanna-have-mores." Why do those who are extremely well off spend their money in socially and environmentally damaging ways? How do crooks, con artists, and counterfeiters function in the hypercharged markets catering to the whims and fancies of the very rich? And why do so many of the less fortunate insist on slavishly emulating the uber rich, spending way beyond what their limited means allow? A critique of the lifestyles of today's ultra rich bolstered by old-fashioned muckraking, Crass Struggle provides a sharp, original, and often humorous commentary on "the bad side of the good life, the underbelly of the potbelly." Taking the reader inside today's luxury trades, R.T. Naylor visits gold mines spewing arsenic and diamond fields spreading human misery, knocks on the doors of purveyors of luxury seafood as the oceans empty, samples wares of merchants offering top-vintage wines (or at least top-vintage labels), calls on companies running trophy-hunting expeditions and dealers in exotic pets high on endangered lists, and much more. What stands out is that so many high-priced items glitter on the outside, but have more than a spot of rot at the core. Through a series of outrageous but all too true stories, Crass Struggle reveals the appalling consequences of consumerism run amok and its links to repetitive financial swindles and the alarming degradation of the biophysical environment.

Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? Why did the Japanese kill Godzilla with missiles made of cadmium (Cd, 48)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie’s reputation? And why did tellurium (Te, 52) lead to the most bizarre gold rush in history? Author Sam Kean explains. The Periodic Table is one of our crowning scientific achievements, but it’s also a treasure trove of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The fascinating tales in THE DISAPPEARING SPOON follow carbon, neon, silicon, gold, and every single element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, conflict, the arts, medicine, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. Why did a little lithium (Li, 3) help cure poet Robert Lowell of his madness? And how did Gallium (Ga, 31) become the go-to element for laboratory pranksters?* THE DISAPPEARING SPOON has the answers, fusing science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, discovery, and alchemy, from the Big Bang through the end of time. http://samkean.com/disappearing-spoon

Based on years of expert patient care, Dr. Gary Epler shares a powerful lesson in You're the Boss: Manage Your Disease. This powerful lesson is deceptively simple: you are the best and most important manager of your health. That's right, you should be the one in charge. What's more, that's not difficult to do, because Dr. Epler sets out five easy steps that will lead you to the awareness and confidence necessary to put you in the boss's chair. These fundamental steps work, no matter what health challenge you may have. Through engaging, entertaining stories, you will meet real people with real health challenges and discover: 1. How to learn about your disease, 2. How to understand the diagnostic process, 3. How to know your treatment options, 4. How to monitor your progress, and 5. How to create a healing environment. But putting Dr. Epler s five steps into practice sketches out only one side of health and disease. Practical and effective tips also guide you to ways to preserve good health, and retain, not surrender, control of your health, no matter what age you are, no matter what condition you may have. Implementing these five simple steps and being the boss of your health will not only enable you to get well, but stay well for life. www.epler.com

Lisa Manzione, a mom and advocate of geographic literacy – along with the U.S. Congress – seem to think that geography is no longer one of those subjects.In March, Senator Thad Cochran, a Republican from Mississippi, introduced a bill that would fund a four-year, $60 million program to enhance the teaching of geography in public schools around the country. Currently in committee, the bill was applauded by few people as loudly as Manzione, a mom who has a strong understanding of the value of teaching other cultures to children and author of the globally-focused children’s book series The Adventures of Bella and Harry (www.bellaandharry.com ). Geography is about a lot more than just memorizing where countries are on a map,” said Manzione. “It’s about understanding the cultures that go along with each country and the process for understanding those cultures has to start early. If our children are going to thrive in the newly globalized economy, and prepare for the nearly 70,000 new jobs geotechnology is adding to the U.S. each year, they need this program. In addition, they’ll be more well-rounded individuals if they accept that the United States isn’t the center of the universe and that there are other places on the map worth knowing about.”
