  Professionals and caregivers play a vital role in the physical and emotional well-being of a person with epilepsy. Often the caregiver is a family member or a person who has a close personal relationship with the individual. Sometimes it is the caregiver who provides the essential link between the individual, health care professionals, and the community at large. ​

  In the beginning, the universe was nothing more than a dense singularity—silent, timeless, and still. Then came the Big Bang, a colossal eruption that scattered matter and energy in every direction. From this explosion, light was born. It was the first visible sign of creation, a brilliant flash that broke the void and ignited the formation of stars, galaxies, and eventually life. Light traveled fast, racing across the empty stretches of the newborn cosmos. It became the symbol of birth and beginning, of knowledge and awareness. Without light, the universe would remain unseen and unknown, a place without structure or story. 
  But where there is light, there must also be darkness. Darkness is not just the absence of light—it is its counterpart. It filled the vast spaces between stars and galaxies, the silent shadows where light couldn’t reach. In many ways, darkness defines the boundaries of light, giving it contrast and shape. Without the dark, light would have no form. As stars began to shine and galaxies spun into form, so did the shadows. Black holes, vast voids, and mysterious dark matter began to shape the cosmic landscape. Darkness became more than empty space; it became a force of its own, influencing the movement of galaxies and the very structure of the universe. 
  The birth of stars played a crucial role in this balance. When matter began to clump together under gravity, stars ignited through nuclear fusion. These glowing spheres of heat and light pierced the darkness, scattering energy into the cosmos. But every star also cast shadows, created contrast, and eventually faded back into darkness when their fuel was spent. Supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes emerged from the deaths of stars, returning their light to the cosmic dark. This cycle of creation and destruction shows how light and darkness are deeply connected—each one gives rise to the other.

  From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
   
   
   
  Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.
