  Is book feels like a glimpse behind a facade that has long "worked"—and yet has repeatedly developed cracks. At its center is a narrator who, even as a child, learned to read her surroundings like an early warning system: moods, potential dangers, unspoken expectations. Not because she was "too sensitive," but because her inner self understood early on that security is not a given. From this attitude arise patterns that extend to the present day: taking responsibility before anyone demands it; looking for fault within oneself before anyone assigns it; striving to create stability, even when the foundation for it is actually lacking. In parallel, the text opens a second level: life with chronic illness—not as an abstract medical topic, but as a daily reality. Multiple sclerosis appears here as an unpredictable path that drains energy, narrows choices, and divides everyday life into limits of pain and exhaustion. It's a life where "normal" doesn't mean everything is fine, but rather that one has learned to plan, manage, and endure with limitations. And it is precisely through this that the amount of inner work involved in seemingly small things becomes palpable: getting through the night, making it through the next day, not losing oneself. The text's description of relationships is particularly poignant: not as clear categories of "good" or "bad," but as fragile spaces where love, loyalty, grief, and the need for self-protection can coexist. There's, for example, the sibling relationship, which has been difficult since their teenage years. Not loudly dramatic, but worn down by repetition: accusations, misunderstandings, the feeling that one's own pain is not believed or is downplayed ("you're faking it"). At the same time, there remains a willingness to consider the other side: that a sibling might feel overlooked…

  The Sixth 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 Sixth History of Man is the last narrative in the History of Man Series that uses infection as the underlying foundation. The series will continue but use other disease platforms for jumping off. From a human infection perspective, this sixth book will visit with the King of Pop Michael Jackson, vitiligo and propofol, the famous and infamous sexually transmitted diseases—herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, HIV and the granddaddy of colorful stories, syphilis—with their very entertaining tales, a world of romance, suspense, and thrillers. We’ll hop from science to art to music, going back in time to the astronomy of the Persians, Syrians, the Greek Aristotle and on to Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler. Our travels will take us to the Renaissance of art and music, stopping along a few stations, such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Monet. A discussion of why and how humans went from spoken language to written language is on our menu. We will pay homage with another visit with the First Viennese School, parse senility, delirium, and dementia and most assuredly discuss the women who helped build Johns Hopkins Hospital. OK Boomers! and the sociology of cohort generations will help complete this narrative.

  Beyond PTSD – Into a New Life After Trauma
  
  
  Trembling, sweating, panic attacks – a small noise or a faint smell is enough to catapult you into hell. You have experienced this countless times, you know the loss of control, the physical and emotional reactions, and all the limitations that come with it. But alongside the pain, there is something else: your strong, unyielding will to reclaim your life. And here, in all the horror, there is good news: There is life with, and above all, life after PTSD.
  
  Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, turns your entire life upside down. With the experience that triggered this mental disorder, you have gone to the limits of what is bearable and beyond. Whether you are affected yourself or a relative, you know exactly how fundamentally the rest of your life is determined by the consequences of the traumatic event. But you are not powerless against it. Psychology now offers numerous methods to help you reclaim your self-determination, and alongside professional therapy, your own initiative is at least as important. It essentially consists of two building blocks: thought and awareness exercises give you concrete, easy-to-implement tools with which you can directly influence your perception and experience, and in addition, by acquiring comprehensive knowledge, you become an expert on your own illness – a crucial step on the path to self-empowerment.

  This encouraging guide now provides you with all the tools you need. It first presents the current state of science in a clear and precise way and explains why PTSD is neither a verdict nor a destiny.

Simple and immediately applicable exercises offer a strong shield against the attacks of dreaded trigger situations and give you precious moments of calm and relaxation.

  When the Ice is Gone - What a...

  Paul Bierman

  In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
   
   
   
  In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
   
   
   
  Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.
