  The Last Wilderness

  Murray Morgan's classic history of the Olympic Peninsula, originally published in 1955, evokes a remote American wilderness "as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon." 
   
   
   
  Drawing on historical research and personal tales collected from docks, forest trails, and waterways, Morgan recounts vivid adventures of the area's settlers—loggers, hunters, prospectors, homesteaders, utopianists, murderers, profit-seekers, conservationists, Wobblies, and bureaucrats—alongside stories of coastal first peoples and striking descriptions of the peninsula's wildlife and land. 
   
   
   
  Freshly redesigned and with a new introduction by poet and environmentalist Tim McNulty, this humor-filled saga and landmark love story of one of the most formidably beautiful regions of the Pacific Northwest will inform and engage a new generation of listeners.

  Endometriosis - Manage Pelvic...

  Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two chronic conditions that significantly affect the lives of women around the world. Both are often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and associated with pelvic pain, yet they are distinct in their causes and manifestations. Understanding these conditions is crucial for improving awareness, diagnosis, and treatment options. 
  Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often causing inflammation, pain, and the formation of adhesions. This misplaced tissue can attach to organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the outer surface of the uterus. The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, which can vary from mild to debilitating. Women with endometriosis often experience pain during menstruation, intercourse, and bowel movements, and may also suffer from infertility. The condition affects approximately 10% of women worldwide, yet many go undiagnosed for years due to the subtlety of its symptoms and the lack of awareness among both patients and healthcare providers. 
  Adenomyosis, on the other hand, occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and tender, often resulting in heavy menstrual bleeding, cramping, and pelvic pain. Although adenomyosis shares some symptoms with endometriosis, such as pain and menstrual irregularities, it is distinct in its pathology and the way it impacts the body. Unlike endometriosis, adenomyosis is more directly related to the uterus itself, leading to a different set of challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

  "An ingenious argument" (Kirkus) for a "novel thesis" (Publishers Weekly) that cells, not DNA, hold the key to understanding life's past and present 
   
   
   
  What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells. While genes are important, nothing in our DNA explains why the heart is on the left side of the body, how many fingers we have, or even how our cells manage to reproduce. Drawing on new research from his own lab and others, Martinez Arias reveals that we are composed of a thrillingly intricate, constantly moving symphony of cells. Both their long lineage—stretching back to the very first cell—and their intricate interactions within our bodies today make us who we are. 
   
   
   
  Engaging and ambitious, The Master Builder will transform your understanding of our past, present, and future—as individuals and as a species.

  Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.
