  While doing fieldwork on the remote Indonesian island of Flores, anthropologist Gregory Forth came across people talking about half-apelike, half-humanlike creatures that once lived in a cave on the slopes of a nearby volcano. Over the years he continued to record what locals had to say about these mystery hominoids while searching for ways to explain them as imaginary symbols of the wild or other cultural representations. 
   
   
   
  In Between Ape and Human, we follow Forth on the trail of this mystery hominoid, and the space they occupy in islanders' culture as both natural creatures and as supernatural beings. In a narrative filled with adventure, Lio culture and language, zoology and natural history, Forth comes to a startling and controversial conclusion. 
   
   
   
  Unique, important, and thought-provoking, this book will appeal to anyone interested in human evolution, the survival of species (including our own), and how humans might relate to 'not-quite-human' animals. A must-listen for all those interested in cryptozoology, it is the only firsthand investigation by a leading anthropologist into the possible survival of a primitive species of human into recent times—and its coexistence with modern humans.

  Fragmented - A Doctor's Quest to...

  MD Ilana Yurkiewicz

  • 0

  There's an unspoken assumption when we go to see a doctor: the doctor knows our medical story and is making decisions based on that story. But reality often falls short. Medical records vanish when we switch doctors. Critical details of life-saving treatment plans get lost in muddled electronic charts. The doctors we see change according to specialty, hospital shifts, or an insurer's whims. 
   
    
   
  In this gripping narrative from medicine's front lines, Ilana Yurkiewicz reveals how a system that doesn't talk to itself puts insupportable burdens on physicians, patients, and caregivers. The stories she tells are at once harrowing and commonplace. A patient narrowly averts an unnecessary, invasive heart procedure by producing a worn rhythm strip he has carried in his pocket for a decade. A man diagnosed with leukemia while visiting from abroad has thirty-one physicians, but no one he can call "his" doctor, with tragic consequences. When Yurkiewicz's own father falls ill, a culture that incentivizes health care providers to react with quick fixes leads to weeks of additional suffering. 
   
   
   
  The system is hanging by a thread, and we need better solutions. Yurkiewicz issues a clear-eyed call for change, naming concrete reforms doctors and policymakers can make, and empowering patients and their loved ones to advocate for themselves in the meantime.

  Galactic Ghosts - Hauntings...

  This book takes you on a deep-space expedition into the eerie remains and forgotten wonders of the cosmos. In Galactic Ghosts, we explore the spectral remnants of once-vibrant galaxies—those that flicker faintly in the void or have vanished entirely, leaving only gravitational footprints and dust trails behind. These ghostly presences echo stories of collapse, expansion, and cosmic rebirth. 
  Galactic Mysteries dives into the unexplained phenomena that baffle astronomers: fast radio bursts from unknown sources, wandering black holes, and matter that can’t be seen but shapes everything we know. Here, mystery isn’t just a question—it’s the invitation to uncover truths buried in the silence of space. Each anomaly deepens our understanding of what the universe hides behind its twinkling veil. 
  Echoes of the Cosmos reflects on the residual energy and soundless signals that ripple across galaxies long after the source has died. From microwave background radiation to gravitational waves, the universe keeps a record of its most dramatic moments. These cosmic echoes are not just leftovers—they’re the fingerprints of creation, war, and celestial evolution, still lingering among the stars.
