Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by her popular Wild Thing podcast, journalist Laura Krantz incorporates the scientific method and her journalistic skills to determine if magic might be real in Do You Believe in Magic? Magic—spells and curses, hexes and potions, superstition, and rituals. We’ve all heard stories of alchemists attempting to turn abundant lead into precious, rare gold. Or of poor, unfortunate souls asking potion masters to brew up unappetizing concoctions that will help them find love. And of course, we’re familiar with curses—muttering magical words for the purposes of exacting revenge on an enemy, or protecting a hidden treasure. Who wouldn’t like the idea of special powers, or control over the natural world? It seems pretty fun, even if it’s just the stuff of fantasy books and movies. But a lot of what we call “magic” has grounding in real practices. In fact, magic is at the root of many scientific fields—from chemistry to botany to astronomy—and has been an important part of human culture for thousands of years. Do You Believe in Magic? takes readers through a world where magic and science collide. What do they have in common? Where do they differ? What role has magic played in our history, and the history of science? Why is magic still significant, even when it doesn’t seem to line up with reality? And is it possible to be scientifically minded and still believe in magic? Readers are encouraged to weigh the facts and go beyond their gut assumptions, to stretch their imaginations and think about why magic and science might be two sides of the same coin. Includes color illustrations, an at-home science/magic experiment, glossary, bibliography, and index A Wild Thing series: The Search for Sasquatch Is There Anybody Out There? Do You Believe in Magic?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by her popular Wild Thing podcast, journalist Laura Krantz incorporates the scientific method and her journalistic skills to determine if Bigfoot is real—now in paperback When journalist Laura Krantz discovered that her long-lost cousin, Grover Krantz, a distinguished anthropologist and professor at Washington State University, had devoted much of his career to the search for Bigfoot, she couldn’t quite believe it. A natural skeptic and a strong believer in facts, Krantz decided to conduct her own quest for the most famous and elusive mythical creature. The Search for Sasquatch takes readers through the big guy’s fun, fascinating, and complex world, posing the question: Could Bigfoot be out there? Exploring the gray area between myth and science, Krantz takes readers on a strange, surreal, and surprising hunt for the fabled Sasquatch—showing us how to challenge our gut assumptions and open our minds to new possibilities, to think critically, and to use the scientific method along the way. The Search for Sasquatch asks readers to evaluate the evidence it presents and make up their own minds, all the while considering why Bigfoot might be important—even if we don’t find him.

Book excerpt: Port Haven is a coastal village in Maine with a long past connected to the sea. It retains a charm which blends with 21st century conveniences. Older homes, many of which were built for sea captains, line the cobblestone streets which encourage folks to stroll through the village, where the shop window boxes are filled with a variety of flowers or herbs. Their aromas blend with the blissful odors of coffee and bakery fantasies. This leads one down to the lighthouse, which is still functional. The largest historical building in town is the Sea Scape, which is a combined Library, Bookstore and Book Nook, which is a coffee shop and bakery. There is an outside seating area that is surrounded by herbs, flowers and grape arbors. Margaret Scott is one of the primary characters and a descendant of the founders. She is the Librarian/Manager of the Sea Scape. Margarets assistant and beloved companion is a mixed golden lab/sheperd with love and wisdom to share, of which he has an endless supply.
