  From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
   
   
   
  Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
   
   
   
  Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

  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.

  Understanding Artificial...

  Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is one of the most transformative technologies of our time. It refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning, decision-making, understanding natural language, and even visual perception. While AI may seem like a recent innovation, its foundations were laid decades ago, and it has evolved through years of research, experimentation, and technological advancement. 
  The concept of AI dates back to the 1950s, when computer scientists such as Alan Turing and John McCarthy began exploring whether machines could simulate human intelligence. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was first coined in 1956 during the Dartmouth Conference, which is now recognized as the birthplace of AI as a field of study. Early AI systems were rule-based and could only perform specific tasks under limited conditions. However, as computing power increased and data became more accessible, AI models grew more sophisticated and capable. 
  Today, AI is not just a theoretical concept or something confined to laboratories. It is embedded in our daily lives in subtle and sometimes invisible ways. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to recommendation algorithms on streaming platforms and online shopping sites, AI is shaping how we interact with technology. Navigation apps use AI to suggest optimal routes, email services use it to filter spam, and social media platforms rely on AI to personalize content.
