The Adventurous Traveler's Guide to Health is just what every traveler needs: a straightforward look at what you can do to stay healthy during your travels, from start to finish. Whether you're headed to the urban centers of Africa or to the jungles of Southeast Asia, precautions need to be taken even before setting foot on a plane, and important things need to be remembered once you're home again.

Informed Gardener The Informed Gardener

Linda Chalker-Scott has been called gardening's answer to television's "MythBusters" -- using new scientific evidence, she proves which gardening practices are just myths. Linda is a well-known horticulturist who is Washington State's editor of MasterGardener and associate professor at WSU's Master Gardener program. The Informed Gardener is her first book.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up with Linda, but if you missed her on KUOW's "Sound Focus," you can find the archived show here.
 
Or find Linda at the following lecture:

Sunday, July 20 at Eagle Harbor Books at 7 p.m.

This heartfelt memoir of life on the Coulee Dam, as it was being built, follows Lawney and his siblings' youth in a wild and then-new part of the West.
