When decorated military officers testify under oath about crash retrievals and non-human technology, when intelligence officials risk careers to expose illegal programs, when defense contractors kill disclosure legislation—this isn't science fiction. It's the biggest cover-up in American history.

  Sisters of the Jungle explores the history of primatology, a rare scientific discipline led primarily by women, from pioneers like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to author Keriann McGoogan's own adventurous field studies. 
   
  Since the 1970s, the science of primatology has been dominated by women—a unique reversal, as men usually outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. 
   
  Today, one of those women is primatologist Keriann McGoogan, who has traveled to the far corners of the earth in search of wild primates. In Sisters of the Jungle, McGoogan combines stories about her own studies of howler monkeys (the loudest living primate) and lemurs (the most endangered group of animals on the planet) with those of the women who paved the way: intrepid scientists like Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Biruté Galdikas, and Alison Jolly who broke boundaries, made astonishing discoveries and ultimately shaped the trajectory of an entire branch of science.

  This book contains these titles: 
  - The Rise of Social Media: The rise of social media has reshaped the way people connect, communicate, and consume information. Over the past two decades, digital platforms have evolved from niche online communities to global networks that influence nearly every aspect of modern life. Social media is no longer just a tool for staying in touch with friends and family—it has become a powerful force in politics, business, entertainment, and culture. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, understanding the impact of these platforms is essential.  
  - The Rise of Remote Work: The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in how the world approaches work. Overnight, offices across the globe emptied as organizations scrambled to adapt to a new reality: remote work. What began as an emergency measure to ensure continuity during a global crisis evolved into a massive experiment that reshaped traditional workplace norms. For many, the home became an office, kitchen tables transformed into desks, and digital platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams replaced conference rooms.  
  - The Fall of the Berlin Wall: The Berlin Wall stands as one of the most defining symbols of the Cold War, a stark reminder of the ideological divide that shaped global politics in the second half of the 20th century. For nearly three decades, it separated families, friends, and a nation, embodying the tension between the communist East and the capitalist West. Its fall on November 9, 1989, marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War and set the stage for German reunification, forever altering the political landscape of Europe and the world.

  Mastitis - Causes Symptoms and...

  Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue that often results from an infection. It is a condition that primarily affects women, especially those who are breastfeeding, although it can also occur in non-lactating women and, in rare cases, men. The inflammation associated with mastitis is typically caused by bacteria entering the breast tissue through a cracked or sore nipple, though other factors such as blocked milk ducts, hormonal changes, or injury to the breast can also contribute. Mastitis is not only physically painful but can also cause significant emotional distress, particularly for new mothers who may already be dealing with the challenges of breastfeeding and caring for an infant. 
  The importance of understanding mastitis lies in its ability to impact both the physical and emotional well-being of those affected. When left untreated, mastitis can lead to complications such as breast abscesses, which may require surgical intervention. Additionally, untreated or recurrent mastitis can cause long-term issues with breastfeeding, leading to early weaning or, in some cases, chronic breast pain. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are critical for preventing these complications and ensuring the best possible outcome for the individual. 
  While mastitis is most commonly associated with breastfeeding, it is essential to recognize that the condition can affect women and men in other contexts as well. For non-lactating women, mastitis can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy or menopause. Men, though rarely affected, can also experience mastitis, often as a result of an infection or other underlying health issue. Understanding the different causes, symptoms, and risk factors of mastitis can help individuals identify the condition early and seek appropriate medical care before it progresses into something more serious.
