About this title

Synopsis

Dive into Science and Sense: Common Sense Science in a World of Spin, a thought-provoking collection of op/ed columns by author Kelly Kading. Originally featured in the Prescott Daily Courier of Yavapai County, Arizona, this engaging book tackles a wide range of contemporary issues, from general science topics to pressing concerns like water and transportation, and even a few light-hearted explorations.

Kading's goal is to empower readers with clear, straightforward insights that cut through the noise of politically-driven narratives prevalent in today's media. Written in accessible language, these columns are crafted to inform and equip you with the knowledge needed to challenge misconceptions and debunk the "baloney" that often masquerades as science. Discover a refreshing perspective that champions common sense and clarity in an often convoluted world.

About the Author

Growing up in Midland, Texas, during the 1960s and 70s, Kelly Kading experienced the dynamic world of an oilfield town. Surrounded by dreamers and hard workers, he developed resilience and curiosity amidst the boom and bust cycles. His mother instilled in him the values of learning and logic (and how to make a mean pecan pie), while his father taught him hard work and integrity (and how to catch the big bass).Kading's educational path began in Midland Public Schools, continued at Texas Tech, and led to a Geology program at Colorado State University. Initially entering oil exploration in Dallas, the mid-1980s crash shifted his trajectory. After a stint owning a ski shop in Colorado, he transitioned to "Environmental Geology," working in groundwater cleanup for clients such as Texaco and Mobil in south Florida.His career took him across the country, eventually settling in Arizona. Now, Kading consults on environmental projects, explores the American Southwest's natural beauty, and visits National Parks (32 and counting!).Today, Kading manages a small consultancy focused on environmental assessment and cleanup projects, primarily within Arizona's infrastructure sector.
