Epic of the Earth - Reading...

Edith Hall

The roots of today's environmental catastrophe run deep into humanity's past. Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable. 
 
 
  
Hall provides unparalleled insight into the ancient origins of climate change and argues that the Iliad exposes the deepest contradictions behind the environmental problems we have created. Indeed, it is possible that some of the violence done to the environment throughout history has been authorized, if not exacerbated, by the celebration of the exploitation of nature in Homer's poem. Drawing compelling analogies to contemporary poetry, literature, and film, Hall demonstrates that the Iliad, as a priceless document of the mindset of early humans, can help us understand the long history of ecological degradation and inspire activism to rescue our planet from disaster.

The Shortest History of Sex -...

David Baker, Simon Whistler

From the first microbial exchanges of DNA to Tinder and sexbots, how did sex begin, and how did it evolve to be so varied and complex in humans? What influence do our genetic ancestors have on our current love lives? And what might sex look like in the future? 
 
 
 
With acuity, humor, and respect for human diversity, The Shortest History of Sex reveals where the many facets of our sexuality—chemical, anatomical, behavioral, social—come from. Chasing down our evolutionary family tree, from the first aquatic creatures to primate societies, David Baker sheds light on our baffling array of passions, impulses, and fetishes, and guides us toward a clear understanding of one of the deepest, most abiding forces of human nature. 
 
 
 
The Shortest History of Sex also charts how sex changed for humans across the foraging, agrarian, and modern eras, showing how, even as our biology and sexual instincts have remained the same, the current nature of our sex lives has no historical or evolutionary precedent. 
 
 
 
The result is a revealing, utterly unique insight into history and human behavior—and the profound forces of nature and nurture compelling our most intimate relationships.

Chiropractics - The Art and...

Kevin Thorley

The evolution of chiropractic practices reflects a broader trend towards integrating alternative and complementary therapies into mainstream healthcare, emphasizing a more holistic and patient-centered approach. 
Evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare, including chiropractic care, involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to make informed decisions about patient care. This approach aims to ensure that treatments and interventions are effective, safe, and tailored to individual patient needs. 
  
EBP relies on three main components: the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values. The best available research evidence refers to high-quality, peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials that provide reliable data on the effectiveness and safety of various treatments and interventions. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are particularly valuable as they synthesize findings from multiple studies, offering a comprehensive overview of the evidence. 
  
Clinical expertise encompasses the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals in interpreting research evidence and applying it to individual patient cases. It involves understanding the nuances of different conditions, recognizing which treatments are most appropriate, and adapting interventions based on patient responses.

The Golden Toad - An Ecological...

Trevor Ritland, Kyle Ritland

As young boys, Trevor and Kyle Ritland were fascinated by the golden toad of Costa Rica, a brilliant species their biologist father showed them in his projector's slide shows. Native to only one wind-battered ridgeline high on the continental divide above the cloud forests of Monteverde, thousands of golden toads would congregate for a few weeks each year in ephemeral pools among the twisted roots to mate, deposit their offspring, and retreat again beneath the earth. But from one year to the next, the toads disappeared without a trace. Since then, only rumors remain, which beg the question: could the golden toad still be alive? 
 
 
 
In The Golden Toad, Trevor and Kyle set off to investigate an environmental mystery with unexpected revelations, a story that speaks to our own collective and uncertain future. Guided by Costa Rican naturalists—including the last person to have seen the golden toad alive—Trevor searches for survivors while Kyle hunts the killer, and their paths lead them through an imperiled forest, a deadly pandemic, and a changing climate, intertwining at the site of the golden toad's last emergence deep in Monteverde's Bosque Eterno de Los Niños. 
 
 
 
The Golden Toad changes the conversation around extinction, climate change, and conservation while exploring environmental grief, resurrection, and hope in a changing world.
