We have experienced Paris through the words of Hemingway and Balzac, the colors of Chagall and Delaunay, the wild adventures of Henry Miller, the recipes of Julia Child, the stars of Michelin, and the curated lists of Fodor’s, Frommer’s, and Lonely Planet. Yet, few have explored Paris through the unique perspective of the “Exposition Universelle”—the World’s Fair, or World Expo.

Paris is a living archive of seven Universal Expositions held between 1855 and 1937. These grand events left an indelible mark on the city, creating an urban diary of monumental achievements: the Eiffel Tower, of course, but also the Musée d'Orsay, the Grand Palais, and the Petit Palais.

“Nobody Sits Like the French” uncovers these stories and many more. Blending travel guide and history, the book reveals a Paris invisible to most—a city where every glass of Burgundy, every sip from Baccarat crystal, every Monet or Gauguin admired, and even the modern marvel of a working sewer system, can be traced back to the legacy of a World Expo.

Most people easily forget how devastating some childhood illnesses were. Before the measles vaccine was developed in the early 1960s, 2 1/2 million people died of measles every year in the world.” Schneebaum advises parents who are hesitant to vaccinate to talk to their pediatrician about their concerns and approach the subject with an open mind and an interest in learning. Ron Schneebaum spent 40 years as a primary care pediatrician. He also served in the clinical faculty at Dartmouth College’s Geisel School of Medicine. During his career he regularly noted the power and importance of love for the human psyche. It became the basis for his book, “Bigger Hearted: A Retired Pediatrician’s Prescriptions for Living a Happier Life.”

Thought of Raising Backyard Chickens? Every Spring, thousands of chickens are sold at local farm supply stores. Often these chickens die before they are ready to start laying eggs (16-30 weeks). Children quickly realize that chicks are not as fun as the Xbox and parents find out that chickens cannot be house broken! The costs quickly start increasing, then chickens are "sent to the farm". Other people think about chickens but think they do not have the space, worry about regulations, or just do not know what they need. Do you build or buy a coop? Do you buy peeps? How do you raise an egg laying hen if you buy a peep? Did someone tell you about a heat lamp? It can all be overwhelming and they take the guess work out of all the questions by offering a portable coop, the food & supplies, and the egg laying hens!

Why "Rent the Chicken"? They provide all the supplies you need to get started: portable chicken coop, two to four egg laying hens, 100-200 pounds of feed (optional non-GMO or Organic feed available), food & water dishes, a chicken keeping book as well as instructions on how to keep your chickens happy! Within two days of the arrival, your chickens will lay eggs ready to use! These eggs have one-third less cholesterol, one-fourth less saturated fats, and two times more omega three fatty acids than store bought eggs. Your Rent the Chickens should lay about a dozen to two dozen eggs per week depending on your Rental Package. You will know exactly what your chickens eat!

 A tragedy made it more terrible by how preventable it was. It is urgent that this story be told and widely shared, given the tidal wave of depression and anxiety disorders that has washed over the United States in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among young people. That tidal wave, combined with the overprescribing of powerful brain-altering medications and the widespread lack of awareness about the potentially lethal side effects of these drugs, is a prescription for disaster.

This is a heartbreaking story of filicide, the potential risks of powerful antidepressants, and unforgiving justice with respect to crimes involving mental illness.

 They have discovered that interconnectedness with art, science and nature is deeply rooted in our existence. When we see examples of this, such as when nature is now routinely being brought into hospitals to promote healing, when we are affected physically and emotionally by color, music, and relationships, it becomes clear that we are a part of the systems, patterns and formulas that surround us in the natural world.

By understanding how art, science, and nature work with each other, your quality of life can improve exponentially as you learn to use natural abilities to your advantage, whether it is learning how to understand your senses, improving your health or relationships, or realizing your aspirations. Your life has purpose and meaning. All it takes is one simple step.

I have seen how family members change influenced the change of my son (in early recovery) and my brother (still in and out). We are in a family system, and we all affect one another.

 In higher education over the past two centuries. He explores how the diversity principle—the belief that people with varied backgrounds, experiences, identities, and perspectives produce better outcomes by working together—first took root in the world’s first modern research university, founded in Germany in 1810. This principle inspired John Stuart Mill’s on Liberty, a cornerstone of academic freedom, and shaped Charles Eliot’s transformation of Harvard in the late nineteenth century to encourage the “clash of ideas.” It also underpinned the twentieth-century equality efforts of figures like Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Pauli Murray. By recounting the history of diversity through the lives and work of these and other influential thinkers, Oppenheimer makes a compelling case for embracing diversity as a central value in education and a vital ingredient for a vibrant intellectual and political culture. As contemporary backlash challenges diversity initiatives in government, business, and education, Oppenheimer—hailed by The New Yorker as America’s “diversity detective”—reminds us that understanding the rich, two-hundred-year history of this idea is more important than ever.

A few years ago, she decided to leave her Maryland / suburban DC empty nest to find a rural getaway -- a small farmhouse where she could put her interest in conservation to work. With little experience in gardening or conservation, she had a crazy idea to cultivate a small native meadow to provide an acre or two where wildlife could thrive, and she could explore with her poodle. Then she set foot on two hundred acres of old farmland atop a Virginia mountain and her dream became a reality.

In BAD NATURALIST: One Woman’s Ecological Education on a Wild Virginia Mountaintop (Timber Press | January 7, 2025), funded by the Maryland State Arts Council, author Paula Whyman explains how she cares for her mountain-sized ecological restoration challenge with a mixture of humility and humor.

Of all the mental illnesses, schizophrenia eludes us the most. No matter the strides scientists have made in neurological research nor doctors have made in psychiatric treatment, schizophrenia remains misunderstood, complacently mythologized. Without a reason for the illness, patients feel even more alienated than they already do, families are left hopeless, and doctors struggle to provide accurate care. Steven Lesk, though, after a medical career dedicated to those affected by schizophrenia and a determination to find the answer to its existence, presents a groundbreaking theory that will forever change the lives of the mentally ill. In Footprints of Schizophrenia: The Evolutionary Roots of Madness, Lesk threads evolutionary evidence with neurological evidence, turning the mysteries of our minds into a tapestry of logic. With his breakthrough theory and this unprecedented book, Lesk will invite necessary cultural dialogue about this stigmatized illness, provoke new psychiatric and pharmacological research, and provide unequivocal comfort to those afflicted and affected by schizophrenia.

 Narcissism is a pervasive social cancer trapping millions around the World in abusive relationships.

You may have witnessed first-hand how unimaginably low narcissists will stoop to keep their fake mask intact and to win, using lies, deceit, defamation and disruption to destroy self-esteem and wellbeing. We see how they create financial dependence and potential bankruptcy for their victim and the victim’s supporter(s).

BUT we also see how heartbreak, diligence and defiance shape a victim into the narcissist’s greatest nightmare.

Escaping The Void is a message of hope to the hopeless, power to the powerless and a story of triumph for the underdog. We see how victims can blossom in adversity as they apply knowledge, understanding and courage to create an unstoppable force.

My guest is the author of the book Weeding Out the Myths About Marijuana. He is a licensed physician who has been on the front lines of healthcare for almost three decades. He has served in many leadership roles and has personally performed general anesthetics on over 27,000 patients. 

As Dr. Wiggins studied the medical literature about marijuana, he also interviewed many users, former users, and others impacted by marijuana. He found that many had stories of marijuana’s negative spiritual impacts.

Therefore, he examined the Bible to see if it says anything about marijuana. He found that, although the Bible does not use the words marijuana or cannabis, it does have much to say regarding the subject of being sound of mind.

In the summer of 1941, German troops surrounded the Russian city of Leningrad—now St. Petersburg—and began the longest blockade in recorded history, one that would claim the lives of three-quarters of a million people. At the center of the besieged city stood a converted palace that housed the world’s largest collection of seeds, more than 250,000 samples hand-collected over two decades from all over the globe by world-famous explorers, geneticist, and dissident Nikolai Vavilov.

These were not just any seeds. The botanists believed they could be bred into heartier, disease-resistant, and more productive varieties suited for harsh climates, therefore changing the future of food production, and preventing famines like those that had plagued their countrymen before. He is the author of The Forbidden Garden: The Botanists of Besieged Leningrad and Their Impossible Choice.

 America's Existential Crisis is a historical journey and a road trip. It starts with the personal histories of two ancestors of the author. One was a lieutenant in the 7th Cavalry at the Wounded Knee massacre and died from a wound in a related action. The other was honored with a "friendship gift" from the Potawatomi, which Jeff inherited. Their stories lead into the history of the Plains Indian Wars, the 1830 Indian Removal Act, and the confinement of Native Americans on reservations. Witness accounts from participants explain how the inhumane treatment of Sioux tribes on reservations in the Badlands, and an accidental shot, turned Wounded Knee Creek into a killing field on December 29, 1890.

He is the author of America’s Existential Crisis: Our Inherited Obligation to Native Nations (Culturally and Environmentally Sensitive Spiritual Adventure Travel Memoirs.

She objected when she heard her siblings’ plan to put their disabled sister, Teresa, into a nursing home. Teresa, who has Down syndrome, refused to go. But the other siblings insisted and secretly put Teresa into an institution for end-of-life care.
