Maybe this sounds familiar…….

What if there was an empowering little book that contained 101 ways to say I quit drinking alcohol that could diffuse any awkward responses?

In her first quit lit book, Sienna Green shares her unusual story of going alcohol-free and how being asked why she doesn’t drink alcohol for the millionth time motivated her to write 101 Ways To Say I Quit Drinking Alcohol.

Physics of Energy

A revelatory look at our national power grid–how it developed, its current flaws, and how it must be completely reimagined for our fast-approaching energy future.

America’s electrical grid, an engineering triumph of the twentieth century, is turning out to be a poor fit for the present. It’s not just that the grid has grown old and is now in dire need of basic repair. Today, as we invest great hope in new energy sources–solar, wind, and other alternatives–the grid is what stands most firmly in the way of a brighter energy future. If we hope to realize this future, we need to reimagine the grid according to twenty-first-century values. It’s a project which forces visionaries to work with bureaucrats, legislators with storm-flattened communities, moneymen with hippies, and the left with the right. And though it might not yet be obvious, this revolution is already well under way.
