  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.

  Renowned neurologist Dr. Russell Surasky reveals a precise and breakthrough medical treatment for opioid addiction. 
    
  The book you’re holding in your hands contains the answers that can save your life, the life of a loved one, or—if you’re a doctor—the life of your patient. 
    
  In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, another person will have died from opioid addiction. The opioid epidemic is taking the lives of nearly two hundred Americans each day. Everyone is now just one degree of separation from the deadly scourge of opioid addiction—either you are suffering or someone close to you is. Fentanyl, the deadliest of all opioids, has now flooded into every town in America. Recent discoveries in the field of neuroscience have proven that addiction is a neurological brain disease, not a psychological problem or a moral failure. It is a treatable, chronic medical illness that involves complex interactions between genetics, exposure to addictive substances, and ultimately, the hijacking of specific brain circuitry. With this new information, scientists have created breakthrough medical treatments that can help heal the brain from addiction—and finally unchain those suffering from this deadly affliction. 
    
  In This Book Will Save Your Life, Dr. Russell Surasky clearly explains these precise new life-saving treatments and how you or your loved one can access them immediately. Active opioid addiction is a medical emergency that—without treatment—is virtually always fatal. The information in this book could save your life and the lives of those you love, forever. 
    
  “This is a pointed and urgent challenge not just for those suffering addiction, but for all of us who care about the dignity of the human person and sacredness of human life. Sure, there’s a lot of bad news about addiction, but there’s a lot of good news as well. My friend Dr. Russell Surasky gives us hope for a culture of recovery.”—Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York

  Hidden Brilliance - Redefining...

  Genius is often perceived through a narrow lens, typically defined by extraordinary achievements, groundbreaking discoveries, or exceptional skills. However, this traditional view of genius overlooks many individuals whose brilliance remains hidden from the mainstream. The nature of genius is far more complex and multifaceted than society tends to acknowledge. It exists not only in those who are celebrated publicly but also in those whose contributions go unnoticed or unrecognized due to societal limitations or biases. 
  At its core, genius is about exceptional intellectual capacity, but this capacity can manifest in many different ways. It is not always about creating world-changing inventions or becoming a famous name. For many, genius lies in quiet innovation, subtle insights, and the ability to solve problems in unique and unconventional ways. It can be seen in the person who finds creative solutions to everyday challenges or in the thinker who makes a significant impact in a specific, narrow field of knowledge, even if that knowledge doesn’t capture the world’s attention.
