This week we welcome Dr. J. Thomas Pierce to talk about his fascinating background and how we can better connect with people about OEHS. Dr. Pierce has been working in the occupational safety and health arena for half a century and his unique background in medicine, laboratories and the field gives him a perspective that is rare. Some may know him from his long running Action Level column in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health or his more recent work writing books that describe OEHS work through his characters. John Thomas Pierce was born and raised in southeast Kansas. A researcher and physician, he has practiced public health on four continents. He continues to be active in the Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety (OEHS) writing articles, reviewing technical works and most recently as an author. His fifth book “THE ONE-HUNDRED FOOT DROP” is in review now. His first two books were technical entries applicable to industrial hygiene and toxicology and published by the National Safety Council and the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists, respectively.  His third book, Hospital Safari (Leather Publishing – 2005) described sub- Saharan medical care. Between 2017 and 2020 he wrote and distributed a book entitled “Million Dollar Speedway” that pioneered narrative storytelling in the environmental and public health fields. He is the 2012 recipient of the Rachel Carson environmental leadership award (Environmental Management Committee, AIHA, Falls Church, Virginia) and has raced bicycles at most competitive levels.

On March 6, 2004, Thomas Pierce, his wife, JoAnn, and his daughter Lisa were on the water taxi that overturned in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. He lost both of them that day. Pierce's account of the accident and the letter to Lisa written by one of the reservists that rescued her give the reader a grim understanding of what that day was like. But this is not a book about the accident-this is a book about the power of love. Love as we know it and understand it, and love that goes beyond our understanding. This is a book Pierce never intended to write, but he felt compelled to share the things that carried him through this tragedy and all the signs that helped him move on with his life. It is truly a celebration of two lives that will go on forever. Once you have read this book you will find yourself passing it on to friends and family, so that they too can share the experience of the power of love. - www.thelastrose.com******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewpaper.com

This week on The Easy Chair, I read aloud another wonderful short story (fitting, as it is officially Short Story Month) by author Thomas Pierce. Pierce gives us a poignant, funny, and illuminating story about Val, a surly, medically fragile twelve-year-old who is obsessed with Pippin monkeys. The story is narrated by his mother's boyfriend, an affable yet cynical dude who has signed on to take Val to the local zoo to see some Pippins- but by acting responsibly, loses their place in the exhibition line. There's a whole lot going on in both backstory and subtext over this fraught day, and it's not clear whose running the show. Or maybe it is. Tune in to hear one of the most engaging and hilarious stories I've ever read. Ever, ever. This week's sponsor: Quip! It's spring, and time for cleaning everything perfectly- including your teeth. Quip now offers its toothbrushes in kids' size, so the whole family can commit to healthy mouths and smiles! Just go to www.GETQUIP.com/easychair for your first refill pack free.

Then as always, we close the show with recommendations: Martha recommends the movie Kodachrome with Elizabeth Olsen and Jason Sudeikis. Peter recommends Ta-Nehisi Coates' new essay 'I'm Not Black, I'm Kanye.' MJ recommends Slate's new podcast Decoder Ringer, and specifically their episode Laff Box, which is all about the history of the laugh track.

"My book is about loss and impermanence, death but most essentially, love; it’s a love story. It’s about a young man named Jim Bird, who at the beginning of the book, dies, technically for just a few minutes, and returns with no memory of any lights, or angels or tunnels, or anything exciting like that. Anything that indicates there might be something waiting for him on the other side, or waiting for any of us for that matter. And coming back with that knowledge spurs an investigation of sorts into hopefully there is something and maybe he didn’t see it."

This week, we read and discuss Thomas Pierce's short story "Chairman Spaceman," published in the New Yorker. The story is about a man, Dom Whipple, and his last day on earth before he leaves, with no plan to return, to go live on a distant planet. Then, inspired by the way this story deals with the decision to go to space, we discuss our favorite books about space including "The Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness, "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, and a whole lot of complicated feelings about "The Martian" by Andy Weir. Then, as always, we end the show with recommendations: Peter recommends 'The Alt-Majority: How Social Networks Empowered Mass Protests Against Trump,' a New York Times story by Farhad Manjoo. "It's just a fantastic read! A good, long, empowering read." MJ recommends listening to the hip hop group Migos and reading The Ringers profile of them, "Migos and the Never-Ending 15 Minutes of Fame." "This profile is absurd, it's phenomenal, it's smart, it's well written, there are times that I was laughing and I learned so much." Aliza recommends the movie 'Hidden Figures.' "It's beautiful and it's wonderful and it's perfect and everyone should go see it. You will learn things and you will cry and it's amazing."We hope you'll join us next week as we read and discuss John Darnielle's new book "Universal Harvester" with Darnielle himself! And if you're looking for a book to sink your teeth into, we recommend "History Is All You Left Me" by Adam Silvera, which is this our official MashReads book club book for February.And if you're looking for more book news, don't forget to follow MashReads on Facebook and Twitter.
