  What the River Knows - Essays...

  Michael Engelhard

  Edward Abbey, who never much liked Alaska, called it "our biggest, buggiest, boggiest state." To others, it has been a cure for despair. When Michael Engelhard moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago, he was a cheechako, a subarctic tenderfoot. Gathering skills and experiences the hard way, he attained "Sourdough" status while realizing there would always be more to learn, see, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras. 
   
   
   
  En route, Engelhard suffered frostbite, stubborn yaks, grizzly charges, trophy hunters, cold-water immersion, heartbreak, incontinent raptors, one pesky squirrel, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacier's blue heart, and his own as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys.

  Nursing is more than just a profession; it is a calling that blends compassion, science, and clinical expertise to promote health and well-being. As one of the most trusted professions globally, nursing plays a critical role in the healthcare system, directly impacting patients' lives and outcomes. This chapter provides an overview of nursing careers, introducing the diverse roles within the field and the various paths one can take to become a nurse.  
  Nurses are at the heart of patient care, often serving as the bridge between patients and other healthcare professionals. They are involved in a wide range of activities, from administering medications and performing clinical procedures to providing emotional support and educating patients about their health conditions. Nurses work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, community centers, schools, and even patients' homes, adapting their skills to meet the specific needs of each environment. 
  Nursing has evolved significantly over the years, transforming from a vocation focused on basic patient care to a profession that requires advanced education, specialized training, and critical thinking skills. The modern nurse is not only a caregiver but also a leader, researcher, advocate, and educator. This evolution has opened up new career opportunities within the field, allowing nurses to specialize in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, critical care, mental health, and public health, among others.

  Intimate Subjects - Touch and...

  An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch. 
    
  When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present. 
    
  Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge. 
    
  With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.

  CHARGE - Why Does Gravity Rule?

  Humans have long been aware of the electric and magnetic forces around us, and scientific investigation showed that the two are intimately connected as electromagnetism. Lightning shows how devastating electricity can be in nature, while humans learned to exploit the flow of negatively charged electrons that make up an electric current. In the early twentieth century, the experiments of Ernest Rutherford showed that at the heart of atoms lies a positively charged nucleus. The positive charge comes from protons. Atoms are neutral because the charges of the electron and proton cancel out. 
   
   
   
  The charges of the proton and electron are opposite and equal, even though the proton is bigger. But why are they equal? This is one of the deepest unresolved puzzles of physics. Frank Close takes us on a journey into the quantum subatomic world of particles. He describes the strong and weak forces that operate alongside electromagnetism, the color and flavor charges, as well as the parallels between them, giving hints of a deeper unity. Seeking an answer to why matter is neutral brings us to fundamental forces and particles, the Standard Model, the Higgs boson, and implications of grand unification for the stability of matter. Close packs in a rich account of our current understanding and the latest ambitious experiments to probe further, and test theoretical possibilities.
