Book excerpt: The Guardian's Best Science Book of 2017: the fascinating science and history of the air we breathe. It's invisible. It's ever-present. Without it, you would die in minutes. And it has an epic story to tell. In Caesar's Last Breath, New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean takes us on a journey through the periodic table, around the globe, and across time to tell the story of the air we breathe, which, it turns out, is also the story of earth and our existence on it. With every breath, you literally inhale the history of the world. On the ides of March, 44 BC, Julius Caesar died of stab wounds on the Senate floor, but the story of his last breath is still unfolding; in fact, you're probably inhaling some of it now. Of the sextillions of molecules entering or leaving your lungs at this moment, some might well bear traces of Cleopatra's perfumes, German mustard gas, particles exhaled by dinosaurs or emitted by atomic bombs, even remnants of stardust from the universe's creation. Tracing the origins and ingredients of our atmosphere, Kean reveals how the alchemy of air reshaped our continents, steered human progress, powered revolutions, and continues to influence everything we do. Along the way, we'll swim with radioactive pigs, witness the most important chemical reactions humans have discovered, and join the crowd at the Moulin Rouge for some of the crudest performance art of all time. Lively, witty, and filled with the astounding science of ordinary life, Caesar's Last Breath illuminates the science stories swirling around us every second.

Book excerpt: She used to chase killers . . . Now one is chasing her Deep inside a national forest, former Special Agent Ricki James stands in the middle of a killing field that was never meant to be found. With the carnage lying all around her, Ricki knows one thing for sure: a killer who hides his work so well, intends to go on killing. The single mom already has enough complications in her life, and a whole lot of dead bodies isn't helping matters. She has a son to support, an ex-husband who is also her business partner to deal with, and a slightly shabby diner to run so she can make ends meets. She's already seen the worst side of humanity and has no intention of stepping into that world again. But she hadn't counted on a serial killer murdering people in her own backyard, in a town with only a two-man police department standing between a terrifying death and everyone she loves. As the body count continues to rise, Ricki has no choice but to take up her badge again and go hunting for a madman. But he is used to being the hunter not the hunted, and he has plans of his own. Either Special Agent James will pay the ultimate price for finding his dumping ground, or someone she loves will take her place in a grave before he moves on to a new town, to kill again.
