Occasionally I find a travel book that is both illuminating and entertaining where vivid writing and research replace self-indulgence and sloppy prose.

Research shows that parents are the single biggest influence on children - if you are worried about your teen and drugs talk to them.

The committee's finding that China stole sensitive technology from U.S. weapons research labs is alarming.

If we invest in researching and developing energy technology we'll do some real good in the long run rather than just making ourselves feel good today. But climate change is not the only challenge of the 21st century and for many other global problems we have low-cost durable solutions.
