Elementium: The Land of Elements is a sci-fi adventure audio series where a lost traveler, armed with only a periodic table, must navigate a world where everything—landscapes, creatures, and structures—is made of pure elements. Guided by Al, a humanoid aluminum entity, they unravel the secrets of Elementium, solving chemistry-based puzzles and surviving elemental trials. But as they journey through neon cities, diamond labyrinths, and toxic swamps, they uncover a chilling truth—Elementium is not just a world, but a prison for something that was never meant to exist.

Dive into the fascinating world of molecules, reactions, and groundbreaking discoveries in chemistry. Perfect for science enthusiasts and professionals alike!

The cells in our bodies consist of molecules, made up of the same carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms found in air and rocks. But molecules, such as water and sugar, are not alive. So how do our cells - assemblies of otherwise "dead" molecules - come to life, and together constitute a living being? In Life’s Ratchet, physicist Peter M. Hoffmann locates the answer to this age-old question at the nanoscale.

Testosterone propels our drive for exploration and risk, for competition and creation, and even our survival. The effects of testosterone permeate the traditions, philosophy, and literature of every known culture - without it, the world would be a drastically different place. It also has a role in humanity's darker side, contributing to violence, hubris, poverty, crime, and selfishness. Recent revelations of the science of testosterone show that high levels will deplete compassion and generosity, and even reduce the affection we show our children.

In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look. And the closer you look, the more fascinating it becomes.

When Speaker Newt Gingrich greeted Dr. David Lewis in his office overlooking the National Mall, he looked at Dr. Lewis and said: "You know you’re going to be fired for this, don’t you?" "I know," Dr. Lewis replied, "I just hope to stay out of prison." Gingrich had just read Dr. Lewis' commentary in Nature, titled "EPA Science: Casualty of Election Politics".

What can beer teach us about biology, history, and the natural world? From ancient Mesopotamian fermentation practices to the resurgent American craft brewery, authors Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall peruse the historical record and traverse the globe for engaging and often surprising stories about beer. They explain how we came to drink beer, what ingredients combine to give beers their distinctive flavors, how beer's chemistry works at the molecular level, and how various societies have regulated the production and consumption of beer.

You can live your ideal life if you see the big picture of where you're heading. We're always rationalizing that "someday I'll be happy", and someday never comes. Today is your day to wake up and start living with purpose, and I'll show you the secret formula to get you there.

Interesting anecdotes and engaging tales make science fun, meaningful, and accessible. Separating sense from nonsense and fact from myth, these essays cover everything from the ups of helium to the downs of drain cleaners and provide answers to numerous mysteries, such as why bug juice is used to color ice cream and how spies used secret inks. Mercury in teeth, arsenic in water, lead in the environment, and aspartame in food are discussed.

With increasing food safety problems, canning will ensure that what you preserved remains healthy without any harmful chemicals. Canning puts you in control over your food. It also saves money in case you have extra produce in the summer and you are not able to grow in the winter. It's also a hedge against food cost escalation, especially in the winter when produce is not as plenty. As a clinician, I can confidently tell you that the difference between good health and sickness is the simple things that you do consistently to promote health and wellness.
