Gustatory Science Facts is a question and answers learning book on many relevant topics regarding taste.

The book is a question and answer format which allows readers to browse the content and choose which questions that interest them and find answers. All the answers have current references to further purse an understanding of the topic under consideration. The book has a very diverse set of questions that the general public will be interested in following up. The book sequentially has chapters on fundamental science of neurons, nerves, synapses, spinal pathways, the cortex and Inter-connectiveness of sensations. Questions on Pain, Temperature and vibration detection are unique to this book. Pleasure, embodied cognition, pleasure, meditation and social behavior questions will intrigue any reader.

The book was designed to be a textbook or supplementary material for any high school or college course involved with Hearing and Balance. The format of the book is questions followed by answers. Students can use the book for self-teaching with the answers containing follow up references. Many of the authors and Illustrators are high-school students who are members of the Neuroscience Sensory Unit founded by Dr. Pidgeon. The breadth of questions in the book enables students to achieve a broad understanding of the science of Hearing and Balance. Topics in the book include neuroscience, Auditory sound behavior, physical phenomena when sound impacts human skin and many more. A teachers' manual is in preparation. The teachers' manual contains test or exam questions or homework questions.

The book is a form of translation research whereby the Author translated information known to the scientific community as pier reviewed publication, into laymen's language. The book elucidates concepts of reality, Theory of Mind, parenting children and adolescents, talks about Mind Money(R) and how this can encourage communication between commercial globalizers (i.e., people who focus on making money from goods and services) and the social globalizers (i.e., a group who's focus is on quality of life). Novel concepts about help addiction and abused women are presented in laymen's language. The well-known spiritual/religious serenity prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change . . .Has been humanized into a human Social Wisdom (hSW) statement (not a prayer) Mind, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change . . .A novel concept about a person's personal reality resulted in creating the word preality, which means personal reality. The book was written for curious minds.

Tactile sensations are well studied, and much is known about this sensory system. The complexity is difficult to learn because of the breadth of information available. The approach of this book was to inform interested readers about this system through questions and answers. For instance, understanding the science causing people not to be able to tickle themselves is insightful. There are approximately 200 questions and answers for the reader to think about on their own pace. Questions include a thorough description of Sensory Systems, Sensory Receptors, Cognitive and Cortical processing, Stimuli (pain, heat, pleasure, etc.), Meditation and brain Waves, Social Behavior, and much more.

Vision Facts is a question and answer guide to the wonders of the human eye, its complex structures and the process of visual perception. It traces the journey of vision from a ray of light entering the eye to the processing done by the brain, to the development and aging of the human visual system and common disorders associated with both processes. Organized in an intuitive question-and-answer format and accompanied by clear diagrams, Vision Facts provides answers regarding your vision in a manner accessible to all who are interested. Each topic includes references to external resources such as lecture notes and research papers for those who wish to delve deeper. It is a perfect handbook for anyone who is interested in visual science, sensory processing, neuroscience, or physiology; and is an excellent reference for anyone considering a career in ophthalmology or optometry. Some examples of the questions include the following. What is the resolution of the eye? Why do astronomers often cover flashlights with a red filter while stargazing? What is color-blindness and how does it occur? What role does vision play in the circadian rhythm? What chemical signals cause the eye to develop into its mature form? How does alcohol during pregnancy affect eye development? How well can a newborn baby see? How does being born prematurely affect vision? What is 20/20 vision? How does aging affect vision? These are all questions that are addressed in Vision Facts, along with countless more.
