By the bestselling author of Four Fish and American Catch, an eye-opening investigation of the history, science, and business behind omega-3 fatty acids, the "miracle compound" whose story is intertwined with human health and the future of our planet Omega-3 fatty acids have long been celebrated by doctors and dieticians as key to a healthy heart and a sharper brain. In the last few decades, that promise has been encapsulated in one of America's most popular dietary supplements. Omega-3s are today a multi-billion dollar business, and sales are still growing apace--even as recent medical studies caution that the promise of omega-3s may not be what it first appeared. But a closer look at the omega-3 sensation reveals something much deeper and more troubling. The miracle pill is only the latest product of the reduction industry, a vast, global endeavor that over the last century has boiled down trillions of pounds of marine life into animal feed, fertilizer, margarine, and dietary supplements. The creatures that are the victims of that industry seem insignificant to the untrained eye, but turn out to be essential to the survival of whales, penguins, and fish of all kinds, including many that we love to eat. Behind these tiny molecules is a big story: of the push-and-pull of science and business; of the fate of our oceans in a human-dominated age; of the explosion of land food at the expense of healthier and more sustainable seafood; of the human quest for health and long life at all costs. James Beard Award-winning author Paul Greenberg probes the rich and surprising history of omega-3s--from the dawn of complex life, when these compounds were first formed; to human prehistory, when the discovery of seafood may have produced major cognitive leaps for our species; and on to the modern era, when omega-3s may point the way to a bold new direction for our food system. With wit and boundless curiosity, Greenberg brings us along on his travels--from Peru to Antarctica, from the Canary Islands to the Amalfi Coast--to reveal firsthand the practice and repercussions of our unbalanced way of eating. Rigorously reported and winningly told, The Omega Principle is a powerful argument for a more deliberate and forward-thinking relationship to the food we eat and the oceans that sustain us.

New York Times bestselling author Harry Turtledove reveals a new side of his potent imagination in a gripping speculative novel about the End of Days—and a discovery in the Middle East that turns the world upside down. What would happen if the ancient prophecy of the End of Days came true? It is certainly the last thing Eric Katz, a secular archaeologist from Los Angeles, expects during what should be a routine dig in Jerusalem. But perhaps higher forces have something else in mind when a sign presaging the rising of the Third Temple is located in America, a dirty bomb is detonated in downtown Tel Aviv, and events conspire to place a team of archaeologists in the tunnels deep under the Temple Mount. There, Eric is witness to a discovery of such monumental proportions that nothing will ever be the same again. Harry Turtledove is the master at portraying ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events, and what is more extraordinary than the incontrovertible proof that there truly is a higher force controlling human destiny? But as to what that force desires . . . well, that is the question.

I never asked to be an omega, and I never asked to be whisked away to a distant world, transformed, and hunted by aliens. But fate has brought me to Amadon, where my very existence teeters on the edge of chaos and destiny. Imprisoned by the ruthless ulgix, I'm a pawn in their scheme to obliterate this new world. Yet, when Xander, Thane, and Kael—three imposing warlords with golden skin, long black hair, and spiraling black horns—discover me, our fated bond sparks to life. Caught between fear and unyielding attraction, I must embrace my destiny alongside my mates. When I'm in heat they'll bond me, a fated connection that will either save or doom two worlds. We see Charlie's fear, her resolve to return to Earth, but we also see our salvation. On the cusp of extinction, hope surged through our veins when we discovered our omega hiding deep within the bowels of the ancient battlecruiser buried beneath the sands we call home. The ulgix's treachery fuels a desperate plan to destroy Earth. Now, with Charlie by our side, we must unite our fragmented societies, put centuries of mistrust behind us, and forge a bond with our mate strong enough to withstand the impending storm. The tides of war are rising. The ulgix's final assault looms near. Our omega's bond is the key to survival... for a planet she left behind and a new home--our home--that desperately needs her. Unless we can overcome centuries of war and animosity, our fated bond with our mate will either be the salvation of two worlds. Or our ruination. This is the fifth in the Stolen Planets series.
