    With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
     
     
     
    Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.

    We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways. 
     In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller. 
     We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too. 
     For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago? 
     And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today? 
     Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles? 
     There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect. 
     The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.
