  We Hold Our Breath - A Journey...

  Micah Fields

  • 0

  Developed as the commercial hub of the Texas cotton and sugarcane industries, Houston was designed for profit, not stability. Its first residents razed swamplands into submission to construct a maze of highways and suburbs, giving the city a sprawling, centerless energy as storms and floods rattled coastal Texas. 
   
   
   
  When Hurricane Harvey made landfall in 2017, Fields set off from his home in Iowa back to the battered city of his childhood to rescue his mother. Fields tracks the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, one storm in a long lineage that threatens the fourth largest city in America. 
   
   
   
  Fields depicts the history of Houston with reverence and lyrical certainty, investigating the conflicting facets of Texan identity that are steeped in racial subjugation, environmental collapse, and capitalist greed. He writes of the development of the modern city in the wake of the destruction of Galveston in 1900; of the oil booms and busts that shaped the city; of the unchecked lust for growth that makes Houston so expressive of the American dream. 
   
   
   
  We Hold Our Breath is a portrait of a city that exists despite it all, a city whose story has always been one of war waged relentlessly against water.

  Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  The Reflective Cosmos invites you on an extraordinary journey through space, life, and consciousness, revealing a bold new vision of the universe as a vast mirror of itself. What if space is not empty, but a dynamic medium shaped by pressure, reflection, and resonance? What if life and mind emerge not as accidents, but as natural expressions of this cosmic architecture? 
   
  Blending science, philosophy, and imagination, this groundbreaking audiobook explores questions at the frontier of human thought: 
   
  Is the universe infinite, or does it bend back on itself like a reflection? 
   
  Could pressure and waves in the cosmic medium explain dark matter, black holes, and the hidden energy of space? 
   
  How are life, evolution, and consciousness woven into the same reflective principles that guide galaxies and stars? 
   
  Might information, order, and mind itself arise from the logic of mirrors? 
   
  From the mechanics of space and time to the mysteries of the living mind, from the breath of black holes to the reflective horizon of infinity, The Reflective Cosmos offers a unified story of existence - where physics, biology, and consciousness converge. 
   
  This is not just a book about the universe - it is a mirror in which the universe comes to know itself.

  Do you want to feel better as you age whether or not you have a chronic illness? 
  Are you ready to change your own life by spending more time outside close to grass, trees, and shrubs? 
  Discovering this striking research on nature's benefits changed my life. I found evidence of the game changing qualities of green space in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry, neuroscience, urban planning, forestry medicine, botany, ecology, geometry, and psychology. At first I did this research for me, but it was too good not to share. 
  In this book I tell my story, including the urban green space research and practical tips that I learned along the way. This book (and companion workbook) will save you time, effort, and frustration so you too can feel better than ever as you age, with or without chronic illness - whether you live in the city or the country. 
  Verla is a Nurse with a Master's in Health Science and a retired Professor of Nursing. She lives in Pine Falls, Manitoba, Canada, on the edge of the boreal forest.
