In 2016, with the addition of four final elements - nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson - to make a total of 118 elements, the periodic table was finally complete, rendering any pre-existing books on the subject obsolete. Tim James, the secondary-school science teacher we all wish we'd had, provides an accessible and wonderfully entertaining 'biography of chemistry' that uses stories to explain the positions and patterns of elements in the periodic table.

This year brings 22 more in-your-face stories that break boundaries and trash taboos, transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says). Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex, and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality. In others, the hardcore aspect may be less graphic and subtler than you might expect. Some of these quieter tales offer the listener some time to recover from the more disturbing ones preceding.

Who are the Jehovah's Witnesses? Many of us have seen or been visited by folks calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. Most of us have slammed the door in the faces of these hard working young men and women as they try to share their gospel with us. I, however, use to delight in conversation with such folks as these, not to be argumentative but to try and understand their doctrine.

Best-selling writer Orson Scott Card founded the online magazine Intergalactic Medicine Show in 2006.

We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time. Almost every idea a scientist comes up with is quickly disproved by a failed experiment or rival research. Science moves at a rate of inches per decade and we like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything. This is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, accidentally changing humanity for the better.

An ”under the hood” look at scores from films starting with the James Bond series. In these episodes composer Jason Frederick and professional trumpeter and the man behind ”Q The Music” (the world‘s leading James Bond Tribute Concert) and Film Score lecturer and historian Gergely Hubai attempt to explain the techniques, secrets, methods and mastery behind the scores you love so much. The aim is to dive deeply in an almost documentary style to explain these scores in depth as well as how they are created musically to non-musicians.

Every young boy dreams about growing up to be his vision of a man, but what does that look like? What is manhood, really, and how do guys get there? For some boys their dreams are to be an astronaut, a fireman, or a professional athlete. When Lou Holtz told Tim Brown he might be the best football player he'd ever seen it started Tim on a fast track to the Heisman Trophy and playing sixteen seasons for the Los Angeles and Oakland Raiders. While Tim quickly achieved athletic success, he had to work harder off the field to live a life of honor and integrity—two essential cornerstones of manhood.

A química não é um assunto abstrato que só acontece em laboratórios: ela está em toda parte. E, se você quer entender como o mundo funciona, o segredo está na tabela periódica — é o que Elementar nos mostra. À primeira vista, essa tabela aparentemente hermética, originária do sonho de um grande gênio exausto e ávido por tentar organizar a então recente ciência da química, pode parecer intimidadora. Mas ela nada mais é do que uma lista de ingredientes, na qual se encontram as substâncias mais puras que constituem tudo: da beterraba às bicicletas.

The Americas have had native groups living there for more than ten thousand years, but Columbus was surely not their first visitors. Uncharted covers a range of cultures who seemingly have been visiting the Americas since long before Columbus. Evidence is explored of potential Roman and Phoenician shipwrecks off the coast of South America through to Celtic and Norse exploration of Northern America. Put simply, the history of the discovery of the North America is all wrong. How did the Knights Templar influence the discovery of the new world?
