  Health Communism - A Surplus...

  A searing analysis of health and illness under capitalism from hosts of the hit podcast Death Panel 
   
   
   
  Written by cohosts of the hit Death Panel podcast and longtime disability justice and healthcare activists Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie, Health Communism first examines how capital has instrumentalized health, disability, madness, and illness to create a class seen as "surplus," regarded as a fiscal and social burden. Demarcating the healthy from the surplus, the worker from the "unfit" to work, the authors argue, serves not only to undermine solidarity but to mark whole populations for extraction by the industries that have emerged to manage and contain this "surplus" population. Health Communism then looks to the grave threat capital poses to global public health, and at the rare movements around the world that have successfully challenged the extractive economy of health. 
   
   
   
  Ultimately, Adler-Bolton and Vierkant argue, we will not succeed in defeating capitalism until we sever health from capital. To do this will require a radical new politics of solidarity that centers the surplus, built on an understanding that we must not base the value of human life on one's willingness or ability to be productive within the current political economy. Capital, it turns out, only fears health.

  Resetting the Alarm in Long...

  Resetting the Alarm in Long COVID is a calm, evidence-informed, and patient-focused audiobook for people living with persistent symptoms after COVID-19 — especially those who feel unheard, confused, or unsure why their body has not returned to normal. 
  Many people with Long COVID continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, palpitations, pain, dizziness, and gut symptoms long after the initial infection has cleared. Often, medical tests appear normal, leaving patients feeling dismissed or uncertain about what is happening. 
  This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate explanation of Long COVID that goes beyond the virus itself — focusing on the role of the nervous system and how prolonged dysregulation can drive very real physical symptoms. Using accessible, non-technical language, it explains concepts such as sickness behaviour, autonomic imbalance, and why standard treatments and rehabilitation approaches do not always lead to full recovery. 
  A central section of the audiobook explores stellate ganglion block (SGB) — a targeted procedure that has gained growing attention as a potential option for some people with Long COVID. You will learn what SGB is, how it works, why it may help certain symptoms, who might be an appropriate candidate, and where its limitations lie. Importantly, SGB is not presented as a cure or guaranteed solution, but as one possible tool within a broader recovery framework. 
  The later chapters focus on what recovery looks like when it is not linear, including life after SGB, maintaining improvement, and supporting a calmer nervous system through pacing, rest, sleep, and gentle rehabilitation. 
  This audiobook is not about blame, pressure, or false promises. It is about understanding, dignity, and informed choice — offering reassurance that your symptoms are real and that a thoughtful, hopeful path forward is possible.

It became a radio show, a podcast, a live performance. Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle is available as an audiobook.Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night.From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.A Macmillan Audio production from MCD Books.
