  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.

  Dive into the mesmerizing world of quantum mechanics with "Quantum Mechanics". This accessible and comprehensive book takes you on a captivating journey through the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of particles at the tiniest scales. 
  In the opening chapters, discover the revolutionary origins of quantum mechanics, encountering concepts like wave-particle duality and the double-slit experiment that challenge our conventional understanding of reality. Explore the fascinating phenomenon of quantum superposition, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, setting the stage for the mind-bending nature of the quantum world. 
  Delve into the intricacies of quantum states, wavefunctions, and the uncertainty principle, gaining insight into the mathematical tools that physicists employ to describe the quantum realm. Unravel the mysteries of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that links particles across space in ways that defy classical intuition, and explore the implications of Bell's theorem and quantum teleportation. 
  Schrödinger's cat takes center stage as we examine the paradoxical nature of quantum measurement, discussing the collapse of the wavefunction and the concept of quantum decoherence. Throughout the book, various interpretations of quantum mechanics are explored, from the Many-Worlds Interpretation to the Copenhagen Interpretation and beyond. 
  "Quantum Mechanics" is more than a guide; it's an invitation to embrace the wonder and mystery of the quantum realm. Whether you're a curious beginner or someone seeking a deeper understanding, this book provides a solid foundation for navigating the intricacies of quantum mechanics. Prepare to be intrigued, challenged, and inspired as you embark on this adventure into the heart of the quantum universe.

  'To harness the ether for those who dwell upon the earth is one of the loveliest services that the modern age can render to humanity-Upward Radio!' 
  -Sarojini Naidu's note in the AIR visitors' book 
  'Neelesh Kulkarni and Vikrant Pande have written an immensely readable tribute to this venerable institution.' 
  -Padma Bhushan Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, musician, inventor and an acclaimed player of the Mohan Veena 
  'In this age of social media, the internet and television, if Neelesh Kulkarni and Vikrant Pande have penned a book on the influence and contribution of radio, I would rate it a brave effort. Somebody had to do it-and Neelesh and Vikrant have done it with rare authenticity.' 
  -Padma Shri Sushil Doshi, journalist, author and sports commentator 
  'This is an important book and a fascinating read. Kudos to Vikrant Pande and Neelesh Kulkarni for factually and meticulously chronicling the story of India's most-loved radio service-from the Mahatma speaking into the microphone to an AIR app today for the young.' 
  -Vasanthi Hariprakash, award-winning radio show host, journalist and entrepreneur 
   
  Please note: This audiobook is in Hindi 
  For decades, All India Radio or Akashvani, India's national broadcaster, has been 'the sound of India'. Be it Jawaharlal Nehru's iconic 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, shows such as Binaca Geetmala, cricket matches, movies or, more recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann ki Baat, AIR has been and continues to be the primary source for programmes on news, entertainment and knowledge for many Indians. But there are innumerable fascinating stories associated with the radio channel itself.  
  For instance, did you know that Rabindranath Tagore dedicated a poem to AIR called 'Akashvani', which was adopted as the Hindi name? Or that an AIR producer was one of the first civilians to be let inside the Golden Temple after Operation Blue Star? Or that noted Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali used to make his disciples listen to AIR's Urdu service to understand correct Urdu pronunciation? 
  These and many other such tales make up Akashvani: All India Radio ki ek shatabdi ki kahaniyan. With anecdotes from producers, broadcasters, radio jockeys and listeners, this book is a must-read to understand AIR's pivotal role in the average Indian's life.

  Coming from a working-class background, Paul Besley knew the worst and best of life in a Yorkshire steel town. He had always been drawn to the solitude of the hills, but that life nearly ended when a fall while hillwalking left him critically injured and alone in the mountains of the Lake District. Paul was found and brought to safety by a mountain rescue team. This was the trigger for him to transform his life, first by joining his local team, then by finding Scout, his very own Border collie puppy, and training him to become a mountain rescue search dog.
  In The Search, Paul writes with humour and honesty as we follow him and Scout through their complex training, with searches and rescue incidents sometimes tragic and often funny. Paul's demons and headstrong characters threaten to derail them, until his past finally catches up with him and his life inescapably unravels. It's up to Scout to keep an eye on him now as Paul tries to build the best life he can.
