In the Herbarium - The Hidden...

Maura C. Flannery

Collections of preserved plant specimens, known as herbaria, have existed for nearly five centuries. These pressed and labeled plants have been essential resources for scientists, allowing them to describe and differentiate species and to document and research plant changes and biodiversity over time—including changes related to climate. 
 
 
 
Maura C. Flannery tells the history of herbaria, from the earliest collections belonging to such advocates of the technique as sixteenth-century botanist Luca Ghini, to the collections of poets, politicians, and painters, and to the digitization of these precious specimens today. She charts the growth of herbaria during the Age of Exploration, the development of classification systems to organize the collections, and herbaria's indispensable role in the tracking of climate change and molecular evolution. Herbaria also have historical, aesthetic, cultural, and ethnobotanical value—these preserved plants can be linked to the Indigenous peoples who used them, the collectors who sought them out, and the scientists who studied them. 
 
 
 
This book testifies to the central role of herbaria in the history of plant study and to their continued value, not only to biologists but to entirely new users as well: gardeners, artists, students, and citizen-scientists.

Mountain Madness - Found and...

Clinton Crockett Peters

With Mountain Madness, Clinton Crockett Peters chronicles his travels and personal transformation from a West Texas evangelical to mountain guide-addict to humbled humanist after a near-fatal injury in Japan's Chichibu Mountains.

Hemorrhoids - Causes Symptoms...

Lilly Richardsen

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins located in the lower rectum or anus. While they are a common medical condition affecting millions of people worldwide, they often remain a taboo topic, shrouded in discomfort and embarrassment. For many, the symptoms of hemorrhoids—ranging from itching and pain to bleeding—can significantly disrupt daily activities and overall well-being. Yet, despite their prevalence, hemorrhoids are frequently misunderstood, and many sufferers avoid seeking treatment due to stigma or misinformation.
Understanding hemorrhoids is the first step toward effective management and prevention. This condition develops from a variety of causes, including dietary habits, lifestyle choices, and even genetic predisposition. Factors such as chronic constipation, prolonged sitting, or straining during bowel movements can exacerbate the problem. For pregnant individuals, hormonal changes and increased abdominal pressure can also contribute to the development of hemorrhoids. While the physical discomfort is often the most immediate concern, the emotional toll of dealing with hemorrhoids should not be overlooked.
This book aims to demystify hemorrhoids by providing a thorough yet approachable guide to understanding their causes, symptoms, and treatments. At its core, this book emphasizes the importance of breaking the cycle of shame and misinformation that often surrounds this condition. By fostering awareness and encouraging proactive care, we hope to empower readers to take control of their health.

Situated in 'real-life' between accelerationism and scepticism, this volume of disruptions serves as a thought-provoking look into the potential consequences of scientific progress, technological development and societal evolution.
"What a wonderful and inspiring alternative to the so-called 'world-building' of today's science fiction industry. Here are some real lessons on how to speculate in ways that may actually open new potentials for human flourishing." Douglas Rushkoff, Team Human.
"This book offers an essential collaboration between domain experts, writers, and editors, fusing foresight and technological exploration to offer narratives both visionary and eerily plausible." Dr Helen Marshall, Director, WhatIF Lab, Queensland University.

"The stories and commentaries make us take a long hard look at the world we have ahead of us, knowing that the problems aren't with AI, climate, money, health, or knowledge. Rather, they come from our relationships with them. The lessons are aplenty, but more importantly, there is hope." Yen Ooi, 2023 Hugo Awards finalist and Director, London Science Fiction Research Community.
"This clever collection of speculative stories explores the possible futures that await us. Through a series of narratives that weave together technological, ethical and societal futures, we are also gifted great analysis and commentary from experts in their fields."
