The Anatomy of Deception -...

Sara E. Gorman

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
 
 
 
The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

Dendrology - Trees of the World

Mike Crawford

Dendrology, the scientific study of trees, is a vital branch of botany that focuses on the classification, identification, and understanding of tree species. This field plays a crucial role in ecology, forestry, and environmental conservation, providing insight into the diverse world of trees and their essential roles in nature. Trees, which are the dominant form of life in many ecosystems, are a cornerstone of life on Earth, offering a range of ecological, economic, and cultural benefits. The study of dendrology bridges several scientific disciplines, from biology to environmental science, and helps us better appreciate the complexity of our planet's flora.
The word "dendrology" comes from the Greek words "dendron," meaning tree, and "logos," meaning study or discourse. This definition encapsulates the core purpose of the field, which is to understand and classify the vast diversity of tree species that populate our planet. Dendrologists are experts in tree identification, often able to distinguish species based on various physical characteristics such as leaf shape, bark texture, fruit type, and overall tree structure. This expertise is essential for managing forests, conserving biodiversity, and studying the interactions between trees and their environments.
The history of dendrology dates back to ancient civilizations, where humans began to categorize and study trees for practical purposes such as medicine, shelter, and food. The ancient Greeks and Romans, for example, were among the first to document trees in written texts, recognizing the importance of trees for both human use and environmental balance. However, it was during the Age of Exploration, in the 16th and 17th centuries, that dendrology began to emerge as a formal scientific discipline. Botanists and naturalists, such as Carl Linnaeus, developed classification systems that allowed trees to be systematically categorized and understood.
