  In this audiobook Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian, presents a celebration of the human search for truth and beauty through the lenses of science and poetry. Poetry and science, as Popova writes in her introduction, "are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply." In 15 short essays on subjects ranging from the mystery of dark matter and the infinity of pi to the resilience of trees and the intelligence of octopuses, Popova tells the stories of scientific searching and discovery. These stories are interwoven with details from the very real and human lives of scientists—many of them women, many underrecognized—and poets inspired by the same questions and the beauty they reveal. Each essay is paired with a poem reflecting its subject by poets ranging from Emily Dickinson, W. H. Auden, and Edna St. Vincent Millay to Maya Angelou, Diane Ackerman, and Tracy K. Smith. Together, they wake us to a "reality aglow with wonder."

  Pascuala Herrera, a Mexican immigrant woman with a physical disability resulting from childhood polio, had the odds against her, yet she conquered simply by working hard, having unfailing faith, and finding her own life purpose.  Although her mother always told her that “life was a valley of tears,” Pascuala learned that although there were many difficult moments in her life, there were also beautiful miracles that happened every day. Pascuala Herrera tells her life’s narrative with honest painful stories, simple yet joyous triumphs, and humor that will lead all readers to embrace their own struggles and realize that life is “Not Always a Valley of Tears.” From being a child crawling in the streets of her pueblo in Mexico to becoming a successful educator in the United States, she proved that everything is possible.  This autobiography covers many facets of the human experience – race, health, disability, religion, poverty, immigration, access to medical care, education, disability rights, miscarriage, adoption and much more.

  Welcome to Humanity - A...

  The mental health system has been asking the wrong question for fifty years. 
  The question isn't what is wrong with you. It's what happened to you — and what do you need now? 
  Fred R. Moss, MD spent 46 years in mental health -- nine as a child care worker and thirty-seven as a board-certified psychiatrist -- in state facilities, private practice, and every institutional setting in between. He worked with more than thirty thousand patients. He watched the system replace listening with labeling, and connection with medication. And then, on a video call in early 2026, he was fired. It felt like freedom. 
  Welcome to Humanity is part memoir, part institutional critique, part human manifesto. In five parts — The Formation, The Descent, The Reckoning, The Return, and The Work — Dr. Moss traces the arc of a career and a conviction: that the medicine the mental health system most desperately needs is the one it stopped prescribing decades ago. Human connection. Genuine presence. The radical act of being seen. 
  This is not an anti-medication book. It is a pro-human one. 
  Before you accept another label, read this book.
