Book Description
If you would like to begin hiking and/or camping, but do not feel confident about your abilities, then this book is definitely for you. The author draws on his own six decades of camping and hiking. His parents took him camping for the first time in the high country of Yosemite National Park when he was only a year old. They scooped water from Tenaya Lake (everybody drank from the rivers and lakes back then without any purification techniques) and banged pots and pans to scare away the bears. They continued to take the author and his two brothers camping and hiking every summer of their childhoods. The author and his brothers were also Boy Scouts in troops that camped and hiked during all seasons of the year. They all became Eagle Scouts. This tradition of camping and hiking continued as the author and his wife raised their own four children. Tenting only-no motor homes or RVs in this family! The author's travels have included every state in the United States except Hawaii (an omission that hopefully will be rectified some day!), six provinces of Canada, and a handful of foreign countries. All of the author's children began hiking and camping while they were still in diapers. They grew up spending many vacations at Yosemite, as well as a number of other national parks. In A Smart Guide to Hiking and Backpacking, the author includes the conventional information about gear, hiking and camping with children, basic first aid, and similar information readers would expect to find in hiking and camping guides. However, the author also includes information about wilderness survival-not only how to avoid unpleasant situations, but more importantly how to deal with them when they do occur-and inevitably they will occur. The Scout motto is "Be prepared." A Smart Guide to Hiking and Backpacking is intended to prepare readers for their backcountry experiences so that hopefully those experiences will be enjoyable and renewing. The author still hikes and camps every chance he gets. Photography and wildlife observing (especially birding) have become important parts of those experiences. It is the author's sincere desire that readers of A Smart Guide to Hiking and Backpacking will learn to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors as much as he does. The great naturalist John Muir said, "The mountains are calling and I must go." Hopefully, the mountains are calling you.

Book Description
FINALIST for the Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books “This book shows that chemistry is not just relevant to life; it’s really, really interesting.”—Foreword Reviews, STARRED review A perfect book for readers of The Physics of Everyday Things and Storm in a Teacup Have you ever wondered why your alarm clock sends you spiraling? Or how toothpaste works on your teeth? Why do cakes and cookies sometimes turn out dry? (Hint: you may not be adding enough sugar.) In Chemistry for Breakfast, award-winning chemist and science communicator Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim reveals the amazing chemistry behind everyday things (like baking and toothpaste) and not-so-everyday things (like space travel). With a relatable, funny, and conversational style, she explains essential chemical processes everyone should know—and turns the ordinary into extraordinary. Over the course of a single day, Mai shows us that chemistry is everywhere: we just have to look for it. In the morning, her partner’s much-too-loud alarm prompts a deep dive into biological clocks, fight-or-flight responses, and melatonin’s role in making us sleepy. Before heading to the lab, she explains how the stress hormone cortisol helps wake us up, and brews her morning coffee with a side of heat conduction and states of matter. Mai continues her day with explainers of cell phone technology, food preservation, body odor, baking, the effects of alcohol, and the chemistry behind the expression “love drunk.” All the while, she shows us what it’s really like to be a working chemist, and fights against the stereotype of a nerd playing with test tubes in a lab coat. Filled with charming illustrations, laughter, and plenty of surprises, Chemistry for Breakfast is a perfect book for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of chemistry without having prior knowledge of the science. With Mai as your guide, you’ll find something fascinating everywhere around you.
