  Borders of Care - Immigrants...

  Probes the relationship between the immigration and health care systems in the United States. For the roughly ten million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, federal health care coverage is out of reach. Barred from Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act, most rely on hospital emergency rooms when they get sick, or clinics that don’t inquire about immigration status. Further obstacles to health care, including discrimination and the fear of deportation, mean that immigrants, undocumented or not, seek and receive less medical attention than any other population in the country. Yet immigrants haven’t always been ostracized from health care in the United States—providers and activists have for over a century worked to make medical services available to newcomers and migrants, including, at times, the undocumented. Drawing together stories from diverse communities from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Borders of Care examines how health care in the United States has both included and excluded immigrants. Beatrix Hoffman analyzes both the health and immigration systems, adding to our understanding of why these structures, and the policies that support them, have resisted reform. Moreover, she shows that immigrants, often scapegoated as burdens on the health-care system, have strengthened it through their responses to systemic exclusion. By creating hospitals and clinics, serving as practitioners, fighting for safer workplaces, filing lawsuits, organizing and protesting, immigrants and migrants have improved medical access for everybody and advanced the idea of health care as a universal right. As accessible as it is authoritative, Hoffman’s survey could not be more timely.

  The Secret Universe - The Hidden...

  The universe, as we know it, has fascinated humanity for centuries. From the early days of observation with rudimentary telescopes to the modern era of space exploration and advanced physics, we have sought to understand the vast expanse that surrounds us. The cosmos is an immense, ever-expanding entity that encompasses everything we can observe, from distant galaxies to the tiny particles that make up the very fabric of reality itself. 
  The origin of the universe is a question that has long intrigued scientists and philosophers alike. The most widely accepted theory is the Big Bang Theory, which suggests that the universe began as an incredibly hot and dense point about 13.8 billion years ago. This initial singularity rapidly expanded, cooling as it grew larger, giving rise to the cosmos we observe today. This expansion continues to this very day, albeit at a slower rate than during its early moments. 
  In the early stages of the universe’s development, only simple elements like hydrogen and helium were formed. Over billions of years, these elements clumped together to form stars and galaxies, which in turn formed more complex elements through nuclear fusion. These elements were then distributed across the universe, providing the building blocks for the formation of planets and other celestial bodies.

  The quest to find a theory of quantum gravity that could potentially explain everything.
  
  
  Nearly 60 years ago, Nobel Prize-winners Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson stumbled across a mysterious hiss of faint radio static that was interfering with their observations. They had found the key to unravelling the story of the Big Bang and the origin of our universe.
  
  That signal was the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the earliest light in the universe, released 379,000 years after the Big Bang. It contains secrets about what happened during the very first tiny increments of time, which had consequences that have rippled throughout cosmic history, leading to the universe of stars and galaxies that we live in today.
  
  This is the enthralling story of the quest to understand the CMB radiation and what it can tell us of the origins of time and space, from bubble universes to a cyclical cosmos - and possibly leading to the elusive theory of quantum gravity itself.
