The Shocking Truth about Mental...

Zoey Fraisers

Mental health care has long been shrouded in misconception and stigma. Despite growing awareness, many people still harbor deep misunderstandings about mental health treatments. For decades, the public’s view of mental health has been influenced by outdated notions and portrayals in media that often fail to reflect the true complexity of mental health care. As society advances, the need to challenge these outdated perceptions becomes more urgent, especially given the rising rates of mental health issues worldwide.
At its core, mental health treatment is a deeply personal journey, one that requires careful consideration, access to the right resources, and ongoing support. However, despite the best efforts of many professionals, the landscape of mental health care is far from perfect. The reality is that treatments often come with hidden pitfalls—cost barriers, lack of regulation, and the dominance of pharmaceutical companies with their own financial interests. These challenges only deepen the complexity of the mental health crisis, making it harder for individuals to get the care they truly need.
The pharmaceutical industry plays a central role in shaping the narrative around mental health treatment. Psychiatric medications are often the first line of defense against mental health disorders, but the promise of quick fixes is not always the reality. Many individuals find themselves struggling with side effects, dependency, and the question of whether these drugs are providing long-term solutions. On the other hand, psychotherapy, while frequently effective, is often portrayed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite its varying success rates depending on the individual and their specific condition. Add to this the growing rise of alternative and holistic treatments, which are often hailed as miracles but can lack sufficient scientific backing, and the situation becomes even more confusing.

Hallam Stevens

With Biotechnology and Society, Hallam Stevens offers an up-to-date primer to help us understand the interactions of biotechnology and society and the debates, controversies, fears, and hopes that have shaped how we think about bodies, organisms, and life in the twenty-first century.

Age of Fire and Plastic The:...

Alex Southwick

We live in a world built by fire and wrapped in plastic — a planet reshaped by our own invention. From the first flicker of flame to the glow of the digital screen, humanity’s genius has transformed the Earth’s systems in ways no species has ever done before. 
In The Age of Fire and Plastic, Alex Southwick traces the story of the Anthropocene — the era in which humans became a geological force. Through vivid storytelling and sharp insight, Southwick reveals how our tools of progress — oil, metal, concrete, and polymer — have left indelible marks in the air, sea, and soil. 
But this is not merely a tale of ruin. It’s also a meditation on what it means to live consciously in a world of our own making. How do we find awe, responsibility, and meaning when the natural and artificial are now one and the same? 
Sweeping in scope yet deeply personal, The Age of Fire and Plastic is an essential journey through humanity’s defining century — and a call to shape the next one with intention rather than accident.
