This beautifully illustrated biography of a pivotal early scientist will captivate the inner adventurer in children and adults alike Explorer. Scientist. Polymath. Hero. In his day, Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was among the most renowned scholars of the Enlightenment. He led pioneering expeditions in Central and South America (including the Amazon rainforest) as well as in Siberia, and he arguably founded the natural sciences as we know them. Charles Darwin called Humboldt “the greatest scientific traveler who ever lived,” and credited him with inspiring the journey that resulted in On the Origin of Species. And yet, in history books, Humboldt has been eclipsed by his intellectual heirs and admirers - such as Darwin himself, John Muir, and Henry David Thoreau - until now. This captivating, richly illustrated narrative biography for kids will whisk away readers young and old, and inspire them to see the world through the eyes of one of the greatest early scientists.

CITIZEN SCIENTIST is award-winning environmental journalist and author Mary Ellen Hannibal's story of becoming a citizen scientist - and finding more than she bargained for at every turn. She knew she was joining a flourishing community of volunteers who help conserve nature, but she was surprised to learn how this new and tech-enabled movement continues a rich tradition of amateur observation established by writers and naturalists over centuries. And she knew, in the midst of an unprecedented mass extinction, that she would find a shrinking number of species, but she couldn't know how her father's sudden passing would tear open her quest to confront loss.Ultimately, to be a citizen scientist is to intimately examine all the life that still finds a way. So as Hannibal, alongside an inspiring cast of fellow citizen scientists, discovers a wealth of species - by wading into tide pools, tracking hawks, scouring mountains - she also rescues herself from an odyssey of loss, and finds a hopeful and practical way forward.

An estimated 30 million Americans have trouble digesting gluten - and the most recent research suggests that gluten may have some harmful impact on us all. The common protein's effects can include muscle fatigue, stiff joints, mental fog, stomach pain, bloating, and other digestive trouble - all of which make it hard to lead an active lifestyle, much less pursue serious amateur or professional sports. For years, athletes of all levels - from daily dog-walkers to world-class tennis players - have struggled through their symptoms without help or recognition for their gluten intolerance. Now, with "The Gluten-Free Edge", they'll learn what gluten is, how to go gluten-free, and how doing so will take their game to the next level-whether or not they've been diagnosed. Grounding their program in cutting-edge nutrition and fitness science, Peter Bronski and Melissa McLean Jory - a gluten-free cookbook author and nutrition therapist, respectively, and both serious athletes with celiac disease - will address every aspect of diet and training for gluten-free fitness. All of the essentials are here - the best.

Blue is the most widely beloved color — but in nature, it’s the rarest hue of all. True, physics paints the sea and sky blue, but we can’t bottle this trick of the light. And blue pigment requires such complex chemistry that blue creatures, plants, and minerals are few indeed. Artists and kings have treasured blue dye like precious gold since the time of the pharoahs — and who today can help but marvel at a morpho butterfly in the rain forest or a blue jay at the window? Science journalist Kai Kupferschmidt has been enraptured by blue since childhood. In his quest to understand the mysteries of his favorite color, he takes readers on a vivid journey — from a biotech lab in Japan and a volcanic lake in Oregon to his native Germany, home of the last blue-feathered Spix’s macaws. Deep underground where blue crystals grow, and miles overhead where astronauts gaze at our “blue marble” planet — wherever he finds this alluring color, it always has a story to tell.

A groundbreaking book on feeding children with special needs — and setting them up for lifelong feeding independence! Your Baby Can Self-Feed, Too, is the inclusive guide to introducing solids. Over 25 percent of children experience challenges with this big step — both typically developing babies and those with (known or unknown) physical or neurological differences. Resources on how to help babies who face obstacles in making the move to solid foods are scarce. That’s where this book comes in. Feeding therapist Jill Rabin teams up with BLW pioneer Gill Rapley to introduce their new proprietary take on Rapley’s groundbreaking approach: adapted baby-led weaning. With ABLW, you can meet your child’s needs by: responding to his or her signs of readiness, whenever they appear, adapting food to fit his or her abilities and promote skill development, working with your therapist to provide individualized targeted support, using “bridge devices” (for example, silicone feeders) with your therapist’s guidance. Baby-led weaning transformed the parenting landscape by replacing boring purées with real, healthy food that babies can explore for themselves — while building motor skills, coordination, and confidence. Now, every baby can benefit: Your Baby Can Self-Feed, Too!

A generation ago Americans undertook a revolutionary experiment to redefine marriage. The results of this experiment separating marriage from childrearing are in, and they are bad news for children and for the country as a whole. The family upheaval has hit African-Americans especially hard. We forgot what American marriage was designed to do: it ordered lives by giving the young a meaningful life script. It supported middle-class foresight, planning, and self-sufficiency. And it organized men and women around The Mission—nurturing their children's cognitive, emotional, and physical development. It is The Mission that separates middle-class kids from their less-parented and lower-achieving peers. In fact our great family experiment threatens to turn what the founders imagined as an opportunity-rich republic of equal citizens into a hereditary caste society.
