  Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
   
   
   
  Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
   
   
   
  Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
   
   
   
  The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.

  Computational physics is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and computational techniques to solve complex physical problems. It bridges the gap between theoretical physics, which relies on mathematical models, and experimental physics, which depends on observations and measurements. As physical systems often involve equations that are difficult or impossible to solve analytically, computational methods provide an essential toolset for modern scientific inquiry. 
  One of the primary roles of computational physics is to simulate and model real-world phenomena that would otherwise be too expensive, time-consuming, or impossible to study experimentally. From simulating planetary motion to modeling quantum interactions at the atomic scale, computational methods enable scientists to explore new frontiers in physics. This approach has led to significant advancements in various fields, including condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics. 
  A fundamental aspect of computational physics is the reliance on numerical approximations. Many physical equations, such as differential equations governing motion or thermodynamic properties, do not have exact solutions. Instead, numerical techniques like finite difference methods, Monte Carlo simulations, and spectral methods are employed to approximate solutions with high accuracy. While these methods introduce some level of approximation error, advancements in computational power and algorithm efficiency have significantly improved the precision of such calculations.
