  If your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you may have questions regarding the condition. What causes epilepsy? How is it diagnosed? What are the available treatments? How can I help my child? It is not unusual for a parent to experience feelings of helplessness, fear, grief, or anger after a child has been diagnosed with epilepsy. Local epilepsy associations can provide you with valuable information regarding your concerns. Many associations have helpful resource materials on epilepsy and a staff committed to answering questions and providing information. Often associations offer in-service training to schools which educate others about the condition. Associations may also be able to provide you with support groups, trained professionals, or other families who are facing similar challenges. In some cases, a diagnosis of epilepsy may require little change in lifestyle. In other cases, there may be significant change for the child and the family. In either situation, learning about epilepsy can empower you and help you make informed decisions regarding medical treatment, care, or safety. Learning about epilepsy may also help to alleviate your own anxiety and allow you to focus on the needs of your child.

  Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

  Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
   
   
   
  Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

  Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
   
   
    
  But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.

  Beyond the Hurt - Understanding...

  Dr Murli Krishna

  Why does pain continue long after an injury has healed? Why can scans look “normal” when the pain feels anything but? 
  In Beyond the Hurt, Consultant in Pain Medicine Dr Murli Krishna offers a clear, compassionate explanation of why pain can become chronic — and what that really means. 
  This audiobook explores how the nervous system processes pain, how it can become overprotective, and why persistent pain does not necessarily mean ongoing damage. Using accessible language and grounded neuroscience, Dr Krishna explains central sensitisation, the role of sleep and stress, why pain can spread or fluctuate, and why treatments sometimes help — and sometimes don’t. 
  Importantly, this is not a book about pushing through pain or thinking positively. It is about understanding how the body’s alarm system works — and how it can learn to feel safe again. 
  Listeners will gain: 
  • A clear explanation of chronic pain mechanisms 
  • Reassurance when scans and tests are normal 
  • Insight into flare-ups and setbacks 
  • Practical guidance on calming the pain system 
  • A realistic, hopeful framework for recovery 
  Written for people living with ongoing pain — as well as clinicians, therapists, and caregivers — this audiobook replaces fear with understanding and confusion with clarity. 
  Persistent pain is not imagined. It has reasons. 
  And when pain becomes less mysterious, it often becomes less frightening. 
  Beyond the Hurt offers direction, reassurance, and a science-based path toward living well beyond pain.

  Heal the Beasts - A Jaunt...

  How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
   
   
   
  To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
   
   
   
  James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
   
   
   
  Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.
