In "Deep Sea Hunters in the Frozen Seas," A. Hyatt Verrill invites readers to explore the uncharted waters of the Arctic, where adventure and science interweave in a compelling narrative. The book blends vividly descriptive prose with an adventurous spirit, capturing both the harsh beauty of the frozen seas and the exhilarating pursuit of marine life. Verrill's meticulous attention to detail and his passion for exploration shine through, as he delves into the enigmatic world beneath the ice, exploring the fauna and flora that exist in stark contrast to the land above. Richly illustrative, the work serves not only as a thrilling account of marine hunting but also as an early scientific exploration of the Arctic environment in the early 20th century context. A. Hyatt Verrill was a prolific writer, artist, and naturalist whose background in zoology and exploration provided a unique lens through which he viewed the natural world.

This background informs his writing, making his narratives not only entertaining but also educational. "Deep Sea Hunters in the Frozen Seas" is a must-read for anyone intrigued by maritime exploration and the scientific discoveries of the early 1900s. It is ideal for those who appreciate a blend of adventure with rich natural history. Verrill'Äôs masterful storytelling invites readers to embark on a journey into the unknown, making it a valuable addition to both literary and scientific circles.

    Against Technoableism -...

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
     
     
     
    In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
     
     
     
    This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

    Let's face it: anxiety can interfere with every single aspect of your life, from work and family to relationships and finances. Left unchecked, the cycle of anxiety reinforces and perpetuates itself over time, and can leave you feeling paralyzed with fear. 
     
     
     
    In What Happened to Make You Anxious?, anxiety expert Jaime Castillo offers a whole new approach; one that focuses less on avoiding or extinguishing anxiety, and more toward understanding and working with it to create a fulfilling, meaningful life. You'll learn how your anxiety is connected to what Castillo refers to as "little 't' traumas"—seemingly small, unhealed traumas from your past that drive your fear and worry, so you can get to the root of your anxiety and start healing. 
     
     
     
    Your anxiety works overtime communicating perceived threats; this book will show you how to listen to anxiety, discern which threats are real, which don't fit the actual facts of the situation, and which are triggered by past events. 
     
     
     
    You've tried managing it on your own. You may have even received treatment. If you're at your wit's end when it comes to your anxiety, this book will show you a new path toward lasting relief.
