I’m a safety inspector. I live for rules, regulations, and order. I was sent to Liberty Lake to shut down their fireworks display because it’s a fire hazard. The town hates me. Especially the Fire Chief, Shepherd. Shepherd is chaos incarnate. He drives a truck the size of a tank, he’s always covered in soot or lake water, and he looks at my clipboard like he wants to eat it. We’ve been fighting for three days straight. He shouts about tradition; I shout about safety codes. It’s the most frustration—and the most sexual tension—I’ve ever felt in my life. But something is off ...

Ask most people what melatonin does and they will tell you it helps you sleep. That is true, and it is the least interesting thing about the molecule. Melatonin's sleep effect is receptor-mediated and saturates at 0.5–5 mg — which is why taking more does not help you sleep better. But melatonin is also a direct free-radical scavenger and a mitochondrial protector, and those effects are NOT receptor-mediated. They are concentration-dependent. Saturating tissue requires far more than saturating a receptor. That is the entire argument for high-dose melatonin, and this book makes it ...

This book establishes a proper firefighting mindset and promotes maintaining preparedness for the extreme physical and mental demands of firefighting operations in high-rise and standpipe-equipped buildings. Armed with firefighting weapons that would be much more appropriate at a car fire, far too many fire departments are on a collision course with disaster and tragedy, should they encounter a serious high-rise fire.

It takes the Consumer Reports and Clean Label Project testing data apart by category - whey against plant-based, plain against chocolate-flavoured - checks it against the actual FDA, California Prop 65 and WHO/EPA reference levels, and answers the two questions the marketing never does: is there something in your tub worth ...
