    A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
  
In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

    The journey into the digital age began with the spark of human ingenuity and the desire to simplify complex tasks. Early civilizations laid the groundwork for computation by devising systems to manage trade, record history, and calculate astronomical events. These early tools, such as the abacus and mechanical calculators, may seem rudimentary by modern standards, yet they were the building blocks of a monumental transformation. 
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the seeds of the digital age began to take root. Pioneers like Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace envisioned the potential of programmable machines long before the technology to build them existed. Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine contained the first algorithm intended for implementation on a machine, earning her recognition as the world’s first computer programmer. Their ideas laid a conceptual foundation that would inspire future innovators. 
The advent of World War II catalyzed the development of modern computing. The need for advanced cryptography, ballistics calculations, and logistical coordination drove governments and researchers to invest in computational technologies. Alan Turing, often referred to as the father of computer science, developed the Turing Machine, a theoretical construct that became a cornerstone of computer science. His work at Bletchley Park, cracking the German Enigma code, not only shortened the war but also showcased the immense potential of automated computation.

    Elephant Mountain is the gripping tale of Debbie Ethell, a young woman whose fascination with an elephant skull in a bone museum leads her down an unexpected path. What begins as a curiosity about the tragic love story of Morgan Berry, the man who gave us Packy (the first baby elephant born in a U.S. zoo in forty-four years), and Eloise Berchtold, one of the world’s greatest animal trainers, soon becomes a chilling mystery. The couple, each killed by separate elephants they raised, left behind a legacy tangled in secrets, cover-ups, and unanswered questions. 
As former owners of a secluded elephant farm in the rugged Pacific Northwest, Morgan and Eloise’s lives and deaths hold the key to a truth long buried beneath layers of deception. Determined to uncover what really happened, Debbie draws on her experience as a conservation research scientist and the steadfast support of her best friend, who is facing a life-threatening illness. While navigating the shadows of her own past, including her ongoing recovery from alcoholism, Debbie finds courage and insight from a herd of wild elephants in Kenya, a group she has studied since childhood. Their stories of survival and loss mirror her own as she delves deeper into a mystery that will test her resolve and redefine her future.

    “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
		 
From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
		 
Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
		 
For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.
