  Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book listeners will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers listeners the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people. 
   
   
   
  The Curanderx Toolkit includes more than twenty-five profiles of native and adopted plants of Baja and Alta California and teaches you to grow, know, and love them. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives. Take the power of ancient medicine into your own hands by learning simple herbal remedies and practicing rituals for kinship with the more-than-human world.

  The Shocking Truth about Medical...

  Medical innovation has long been a driving force behind longer life expectancy, improved quality of life, and the eradication of once-deadly diseases. From antibiotics and vaccines to robotic surgery and gene editing, the rapid advancement of medical technology has saved countless lives. Yet, behind every breakthrough lies a complex web of ethical dilemmas, financial motivations, and unforeseen consequences. While many medical innovations deliver on their promise, others have caused more harm than good, raising critical questions about the true cost of progress.  
    
  History has shown that not all medical advancements are as beneficial as they seem at first glance. Some treatments that were once hailed as revolutionary later proved to be disastrous. For example, the introduction of thalidomide in the late 1950s as a treatment for morning sickness led to severe birth defects in thousands of newborns. Likewise, the opioid crisis, fueled by the aggressive marketing of painkillers as “safe and non-addictive,” has devastated millions of lives worldwide. These examples highlight the darker side of medical innovation—where rushed approvals, corporate interests, and inadequate regulation can turn hopeful breakthroughs into public health disasters.  
    
  At the heart of this issue is the tension between progress and safety. In the race to bring new treatments and technologies to market, are we sacrificing patient well-being in favor of speed and profit? The pharmaceutical industry, medical device manufacturers, and even hospitals often prioritize financial gain over patient outcomes. Meanwhile, regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the World Health Organization struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of new developments, sometimes failing to catch risks before they reach the public.

  Ice Age The: The History and...

  Editors Charles River

  The early history of Earth covers such vast stretches of time that years, centuries, and even millennia become virtually meaningless. Instead, paleontologists and scientists who study geochronology divide time into periods and eras.  
  	What humans commonly refer to as the “Ice Age” is actually a series of fluctuating climate events that have occurred throughout the planet’s history. These ongoing historical phenomena are difficult to conceptualize because of both the time frame involved and the natural process by which they cyclically unfold. The Earth’s climatic clock repeats the maneuver over millions of years per occurrence, a number that is intellectually graspable, but not viscerally well-perceivable by most members of the human race. The process by which ice ages form is not relevant to any societal function, and therefore remains a mystery. Those who attempt to define it are often met with either apathy or defiant superstition. 
  	As a basic definition, it may be said that an ice age is simply a period of time during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. These sheets have advanced and retreated, at times taking over the entire planet, and conversely disappearing nearly altogether. Glacial ice formed by this regularly occurring process does not sit in a state of inertia, but moves dynamically, reshaping the geological features of the continents. Again, the time frame for glacial movement is far longer than any involving human activity, so close attention must be paid in order to correctly measure and interpret it for the modern day.
