The complexities of electricity are addressed by "standup scientist" Bill Nye in this episode of his celebrated series. Through the use of clever, but very silly, graphics, music videos from his Sounds of Science, and guest scientists, Nye keeps the pace quick, and the discussion lively. He traces electricity down to electrons, and from there to the atoms that are the building blocks of everything. One of the highlights of the show is the performance of "AC/DC Charge," a parody of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart."

Nothing to Lose
At the start of bestseller Child's solid 12th Jack Reacher novel (after Bad Luck and Trouble), the ex-military policeman hitchhikes into Colorado, where he finds himself crossing the metaphorical and physical line that divides the small towns of Hope and Despair. Despair lives up to its name; all Reacher wants is a cup of coffee, but what he gets is attacked by four thugs and thrown in jail on a vagrancy charge. After he's kicked out of town, Reacher reacts in his usual manner—he goes back and whips everybody's butt and busts up the town's police force.

Smart, sexy, Manhattan assistant DA Alexandra Cooper--hero of Linda Fairstein's increasingly popular series--is taking her latest murder case very personally.

So when she's murdered, he's the logical suspect--except that he had been arrested just before the murder. So Alex needs another suspect.
