  Women’s healthcare is in crisis. It’s time to empower women to fight for the care they deserve.  
  ‘Sizzling with rage and disbelief, here’s to a much-needed women’s health revolution.’ Emma Barnett 
  'This book will inspire women to be stronger advocates for themselves so they can access the healthcare they both need and deserve.' Dr Louise Newson 
  –- 
  Female health issues have been an afterthought and sidelined for too long. It’s Probably Nothing exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed. 
  Drawing on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed, Naga Munchetty explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny. She hears from dozens of women and their loved ones who have sought care only to be told that their symptoms are normal or all in their head. These testimonies highlight the consequences of not being heard, which has left so many living in pain, with chronic and life-changing conditions. 
  This book illustrates the common problems women face and offers insights from doctors and experts on what we’re entitled to at every stage. It will arm women and their loved ones with the information and confidence to successfully advocate for the best health outcomes. 
  Women want to be listened to. Women want to be healthy. Women deserve to live their best lives now. It’s Probably Nothing highlights the urgent need for change.

  Was Muhammad Crazy?

  Through a careful psychological re-reading of the Qur'an and other biographical sources about Muhammad, the author identifies the pathological symptoms of the prophet of Islam. His diagnosis is unambiguous: the man suffered from a querulous paranoia with dissociative identity disorder. 
  The author shows that Mohammed identified himself with previous prophets (Jesus and Moses in particular), whom he plagiarized. Adapting their words and deeds to the culture of the Arab world, he imposed these new doctrines on his people primarily through direct aggression and political manipulation. Yet, Islam was phenomenally successful during his lifetime and over the centuries. 
  At this point, another question arises: How did Muhammad manage to convince the masses? The author then analyzes the personality of the submissive people and the success of this religion through the centuries. The author also deconstructs all the scientific and philosophical presuppositions behind the Muslim religion (cosmology, biology, psychology, etc.). Muhammad's moral and political discourse is confronted with its own contradictions.

  "Landry shows us that wit is a more potent therapeutic agent than self-pity...He has such a talent for comic elaboration-- long, glittering, serpentine passages that recall S. J. Perelman."  
  - Emily Fox Gordon, author of Mockingbird Years: A Life In and Out of Therapy, winner of two Pushcart Prizes and recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in the humanities

  What do mayonnaise, Tab, iced tea, Vicodin, and French banana (or is it French vanilla?) ice cream have in common? If you guessed addictive tendencies and over-the-top histrionic narcissism, you win! 
  Welcome to the world of Fred, who is certain an ever-adoring public awaits his next spellbinding performance. Imagine a combination of Willard Scott, Ron Burgundy, and Tolkien’s Gollum, but from Louisiana. Just don’t look too carefully for the person behind the performer – you might not find the laff-a-minute laff riot the often comic, sometimes melodramatic, and frequently 1950s-radio-announcer-intense masks conceal. 
  Songs of My Father and Other Essays by Gardner Landry assembles relics of his writing from an earlier era that hearken to even earlier times, stretching from childhood into his adult years. The Fred essays recount some of his father’s choice exploits, while the second group includes anecdotes and observations from beyond the confines of his family. Additionally, Landry creates a triple-decker club sandwich of a book (with mayonnaise, of course) by including contemporarily written forewords to the first and second sections, along with a present-day afterword to wrap up the collection. It’s not a big book, but it packs a punch and entertains from cover to cover.

  Rags and Bones - An Exploration...

  After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957–1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band's fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music—all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape. The combined use of multiple instruments, complex song structures, and poetic lyrics required attentive listening and a sophisticated interpretive framework. It is no surprise, then, that they soon grew to be one of the biggest bands of their era. 
   
   
   
  In Rags and Bones: An Exploration of The Band, scholars and musicians take a broad, multidisciplinary approach to The Band and their music, allowing for examination through sociological, historical, political, religious, technological, cultural, and philosophical means. Each contributor approaches The Band from their field of interest, offering a wide range of investigations into The Band's music and influence. 
   
   
   
  Commercially successful and critically lauded, The Band created a paradoxically mythic and hauntingly realistic lyrical landscape for their songs—and their musicianship enlarged this detailed landscape.
