Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"…until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body.

'An original, wide-ranging and carefully researched book ... contains important lessons for humanity.' Mark Cocker, The Spectator A fascinating insight into climate change biology around the globe, as well as in our own backyards. Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid is the first major book by a biologist to focus on the fascinating story of how the natural world is adjusting, adapting, and sometimes measurably evolving in response to climate change. Lyrical and thought-provoking, this book broadens the climate focus from humans to the wider lattice of life. Bestselling nature writer Thor Hanson - author of Buzz (a Radio 4 'Book of the Week') - shows us how Caribbean lizards have grown larger toe pads to grip trees more tightly during frequent hurricanes; and how the 'plasticity' of squid has allowed them to change their body size and breeding habits to cope with altered sea temperatures. Plants and animals have a great deal to teach us about the nature of what comes next, because for many of them, and also for many of us, that world is already here.

Just like your brain, stomach and heart, your skin is also a valuable organ. As a matter of fact, it is the largest organ in the body. However, it is very easy for us to take our skin for granted. Unless there is a problem, you might not give much attention to your skin, but you have to understand that the skin has a crucial task to do. Our skin can multitask, as it has many essential functions and all of which are primarily designed to help keep the body working properly. If you will not pay attention to the health of your skin, it will not work effectively as it should. The skin is like a bodyguard, as it offers a great level of protection. One of the most valuable jobs of the skin is to serve as a barrier to different harmful environmental aggressors such as UV radiation, bacteria and germs. The acid mantle of the skin is essential to prevent any bacteria from attacking the skin that could cause infection. The skin gives the body a complete layer of protection so that the other organs of the body will work effectively. However, just like the other organs in the body, anyone can be at risk of skin diseases that can be caused by many different factors. Serious skin issues should never be taken lightly, as skin disorders can be life threatening. Many skin issues are temporary and they can be treated with simple medications, but it is always best to seek professional assistance to ensure that your skin is always at its best condition. As a protective outer shell of the body, the skin is exposed to many different chemicals and environmental factors that could damage it or reduce its overall function. Many harmful elements, including infections, scrapes, sunlight, chemicals and cuts keep this seemingly delicate organ under assault. We are not saying that a flawless exterior cannot be achieved, but of course, it takes effort. The key to healthy and glowing skin is in your hands.
