  *This Recording Includes Five Original Songs* 
  Imagine having all of you needs reduced to the things you can't live without; food, water, and shelter. 
  In Footprint of a Heart, Shayla Paradeis, whose trail name is Kiddo, ventures off the path of musical theater at age 21 and moves from Manhattan to Montana. Trading tap shoes for hiking boots, she sculpts a life outdoors as a long-distance hiker. By age 34, she hiked the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, the Haute Route in the Alps, and the Te Araroa across New Zealand. As well as thousands of joyful miles running across the land of her dreams, Glacier National Park. All without a smart phone. 
  Kiddo shares the trailside moments of five long journeys, including barren deserts, windy ridges above tree line, ocean tides in estuaries, narrow spaces between the painted lines of highways and guardrails, and countless peaks, passes, meadows, and valleys. Her ventures take her through swarms of bugs, knee-deep mud, every kind of precipitation imaginable, and the threat of rattlesnakes, bears, charging bulls, and one angry mama turkey. 
  Journeys are often more internal than external. As she walks, she learns that counting miles can be a self-measurement as dangerous as body-image or money. The need to connect is the true north. With an openness taught through the trees, she experiences a fulfillment she never dreamed possible. Trails are no longer a thing to do, they're a place to be.

  The Sociology of Health and...

  The sociology of health and illness examines how social factors influence health, disease, and healthcare systems. It goes beyond biological explanations to explore the ways in which cultural norms, economic conditions, and social structures shape individual and public health. Health is not merely a biological state but a socially constructed phenomenon influenced by historical, political, and economic contexts. Sociologists study patterns of illness and healthcare disparities to understand how social inequalities impact well-being. 
  One of the key concepts in the sociology of health is the social construction of illness. Different societies define and interpret illness in unique ways, often influenced by cultural beliefs and values. What is considered a disease in one culture may not be viewed the same way in another. For example, mental health conditions have been perceived and treated differently across societies and time periods, often reflecting broader social attitudes rather than purely medical realities. Additionally, the classification of illnesses can change, as seen in the evolving definitions of conditions like ADHD, autism, and even obesity. 
  Another important theme is the relationship between health and social structures. Factors such as socioeconomic status, education, occupation, and race play a significant role in determining health outcomes. People from lower-income backgrounds often have limited access to healthcare, nutritious food, and safe living environments, leading to poorer health compared to wealthier populations. Similarly, marginalized groups may experience discrimination in healthcare settings, affecting the quality of care they receive. Understanding these patterns helps sociologists identify systemic issues that contribute to health disparities.

  The Shocking Truth about Medical...

  Medical innovation has long been a driving force behind longer life expectancy, improved quality of life, and the eradication of once-deadly diseases. From antibiotics and vaccines to robotic surgery and gene editing, the rapid advancement of medical technology has saved countless lives. Yet, behind every breakthrough lies a complex web of ethical dilemmas, financial motivations, and unforeseen consequences. While many medical innovations deliver on their promise, others have caused more harm than good, raising critical questions about the true cost of progress.  
    
  History has shown that not all medical advancements are as beneficial as they seem at first glance. Some treatments that were once hailed as revolutionary later proved to be disastrous. For example, the introduction of thalidomide in the late 1950s as a treatment for morning sickness led to severe birth defects in thousands of newborns. Likewise, the opioid crisis, fueled by the aggressive marketing of painkillers as “safe and non-addictive,” has devastated millions of lives worldwide. These examples highlight the darker side of medical innovation—where rushed approvals, corporate interests, and inadequate regulation can turn hopeful breakthroughs into public health disasters.  
    
  At the heart of this issue is the tension between progress and safety. In the race to bring new treatments and technologies to market, are we sacrificing patient well-being in favor of speed and profit? The pharmaceutical industry, medical device manufacturers, and even hospitals often prioritize financial gain over patient outcomes. Meanwhile, regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the World Health Organization struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of new developments, sometimes failing to catch risks before they reach the public.

  Critical: Why the NHS is being...

  The true, eye-opening account of how the NHS has been failed and what we can do to save it. 
  ‘The NHS is an institution. But it’s also a political football, kicked back and forth between politicians for the past 75 years. It’s a burden to some and a potent vote-winner for others. It’s a construct, framed in the media. It’s a set of ideas and a logo. It’s a workplace for many and the birthplace of almost all of us. It’s become a valued part of our society, it is extraordinarily special – and it’s being destroyed.’  
  The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders. The result: an underfunded, understaffed, exhausted workforce, a decimation of patient services and the infiltration of privatisation within our public healthcare system. We are now in danger of losing what we have come to depend upon: the NHS is collapsing and a two-tier healthcare system is emerging in its place. We can stop this, but only if we do it together. 
  In her first book, Dr Julia Grace Patterson, founder of EveryDoctor and fierce advocate for the future of the NHS, lays bare the truth about the current state of our healthcare system and sets forth transformational ideas on how we could save it. A book built on a love of the NHS at its heart, Critical is a must-read for anyone who wants it to survive for another 75 years. 
  Dr Julia Grace Patterson's Critical is a best commentary on the state of the NHS, exploring its history, administration, and the social issues that have led to its current crisis. It is a non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on the medical challenges of the 20th century. 
  For fans of Graham Smith (Abolish the Monarchy), Jolyon Maugham (Bringing Down Goliath), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Andrew Seaton (Our NHS).
