  The Third History of Man

  In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
  The Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19, not just another flu. We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few … or the one. From COVID and the rise of Zoom, we’ll venture into the rise of Homo sapiensand the fall of Neanderthals, the high sea adventures of Darwin aboard and the high sea adventures of dementia. Our travels will take us along the Silk Road and Spice Trade, another visit with the Age of Discovery when masted ships and European explorers went looking for that elusive sea route to the Far East, and looking for gold, annihilating huge swaths of indigenous Americans at every port of disembarkation, not by the pointy end of a sword, but by tiny infectious microbes. We’ll examine colonialism at its finest, the sordid European history of imperialism and the land grab into Africa and the New World Americas.

  Palliative Care - Managing...

  Palliative care is a specialized approach to medical care that focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals facing serious, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses. Unlike curative treatments aimed at eradicating disease, palliative care prioritizes symptom management, pain relief, and holistic support for both patients and their families. This field of healthcare is rooted in compassion, emphasizing dignity, comfort, and individualized care tailored to the needs of each patient. 
  The principles of palliative care are guided by a patient-centered philosophy that considers physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. It is not limited to end-of-life situations but can be integrated alongside curative treatments at any stage of a serious illness. Patients suffering from conditions such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s can benefit from palliative interventions. The goal is to enhance quality of life, alleviate distress, and provide support to both the patient and their loved ones. 
  A defining feature of palliative care is its interdisciplinary approach. A team of healthcare professionals—including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and therapists—collaborates to address the complex needs of patients. This holistic model ensures that care extends beyond the physical symptoms of illness to include emotional and psychological support. Effective communication is essential in palliative care, as clinicians must navigate sensitive conversations about prognosis, treatment goals, and advance care planning. By fostering open dialogue, healthcare providers empower patients to make informed decisions that align with their values and preferences.

  Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
    
  This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.
