The fascinating science and history of radiation
More than ever before, radiation is a part of our modern daily lives. We own radiation-emitting phones, regularly get diagnostic x-rays, such as mammograms, and submit to full-body security scans at airports. We worry and debate about the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the safety of nuclear power plants. But how much do we really know about radiation? And what are its actual dangers? An accessible blend of narrative history and science, Strange Glow describes mankind's extraordinary, thorny relationship with radiation, including the hard-won lessons of how radiation helps and harms our health. Timothy Jorgensen explores how our knowledge of and experiences with radiation in the last century can lead us to smarter personal decisions about radiation exposures today.
Jorgensen introduces key figures in the story of radiation--from Wilhelm Roentgen, the discoverer of x-rays, and pioneering radioactivity researchers Marie and Pierre Curie, to Thomas Edison and the victims of the recent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. Tracing the most important events in the evolution of radiation, Jorgensen explains exactly what radiation is, how it produces certain health consequences, and how we can protect ourselves from harm. He also considers a range of practical scenarios such as the risks of radon in our basements, radiation levels in the fish we eat, questions about cell-phone use, and radiation's link to cancer. Jorgensen empowers us to make informed choices while offering a clearer understanding of broader societal issues.
Investigating radiation's benefits and risks, Strange Glow takes a remarkable look at how, for better or worse, radiation has transformed our society.

Описание: What values should form the foundation of music education? And once we decide on those values, how do we ensure we are acting on them? In Values and Music Education, esteemed author Estelle R. Jorgensen explores how values apply to the practice of music education. We may declare values, but they can be hard to see in action. Jorgensen examines nine quartets of related values and offers readers a roadmap for thinking constructively and critically about the values they hold. In doing so, she takes a broad view of both music and education while drawing on a wide sweep of multidisciplinary literature. Not only does Jorgensen demonstrate an analytical and dialectical philosophical approach to examining values, but she also seeks to show how theoretical and practical issues are interconnected. An important addition to the field of music education, Values and Music Education highlights values that have been forgotten or marginalized, underscores those that seem perennial, and illustrates how values can be double-edged swords.

Описание: "Consistently bold, shocking, and hilarious... and] a zany and refreshing, if slightly overwhelming, take on soul-searching, writing, and midlife crises." Kirkus ReviewsAnna Jorgensen does what many of us have dreamed of doing: she escapes her life. In an entertaining collection of vignettes, this beige-on-beige, buttoned-up, uptight top realtor of twenty years ditches small town Canada and heads for big city Pacific Northwest to live a secret life as herself-unrestricted and unfiltered. She finds herself in several new roles: a coming undone blogger, screenwriter, and writer extraordinaire.In this 2 year snippet of Anna's life as Elaine, she comes face-to-lasered-face with her fear of change in life, love, and looks-her aging face, furrowing brow, sagging butt-all with an elevated (if confused) spirit. Searching for self-acceptance and authenticity, Elaine adopts a Yes Girl attitude and meets studs, duds, and dudes-some handsome, some desperate, but no keepers.Anna considers such questions as: Should she try botox? Is there such a thing as "the one"? Can men and (pretty) women really be friends? Will she have the courage to switch from Gucci to Goodwill in order to give up her bitter broker bitchiness and pursue creativity and ... well, anything else?The self-interrogation doesn't end there and comes detailed in vivid scenes, often accompanied by politically incorrect ramblings and whatever character she's taken along for the ride. And soon you'll want to join her, and laugh with her, at her, and to yourself.*Warning from the Author: Gentlemen, two things: 1) This book may hamper your sexual objectification of women with its TMI content. 2) But you may get lucky more often if you pay attention. Ladies, one thing: If your BFF has a chin hair, for Jebus sake, tell her before her beau does. That is all.
