Science, Nature & How It Works

Grosset&Dunlap

Ever wonder why onions make you cry? Or why lizards do pushups? Or why leaves change color in the fall? Don't worry, you're not alone. Acclaimed science writer and broadcaster Jay Ingram wonders the same things. After a long career of asking important questions (does time speed up as we age? How much Neanderthal is in me? Why do some animals throw their feces?), he's here to put our scientific quandaries to rest. In this insightful, witty book for curious listeners of all ages, Jay shares his favorite head scratchers and mind benders, settling pressing questions, such as.... What is déjà vu? Why were Tyrannosaurus rex‘s arms so short? Why are you plagued by mosquitoes while your friends aren’t? Does your cat actually like you? What is déjà vu? ...along with everything you ever wondered about human echolocation, Bigfoot, and farts (though not all at once). Chock-full of fun science facts (and fictions), this book will delight and surprise your inner science geek. Spoiler: She actually thinks you're a larger, dumber version of her mother.

From its humble beginning as a small commuter college with fewer students than the surrounding high schools, Norfolk's Old Dominion University has grown to be one of the premier institutions of higher learning in the state of Virginia. As the school sought to establish its independent identity, one iconic baseball coach and his star pupils helped bring national name recognition to "Old Dominion College." Monarchs tells the story of how Coach Bud Metheny built a baseball powerhouse out of almost exclusively local talent, culminating in a 1964 East Region NCAA championship earned in baseball's most revered venue--New York's Yankee Stadium.
