Synopsis

'I proudly wear my badge as a Covid-19 front-line hero. I believe I was meant to be where I am during these trying times.'
Our nurses have witnessed the pandemic first hand, compassionately caring for patients amid war-like circumstances.
The havoc caused by the pandemic highlighted existing fault lines in the South African health system, and nurses faced shortages of staff and vital life-saving equipment. Colleagues tested positive and died. Visitors were not allowed, so nurses had to be intermediaries between patients and desperate family trying to glean information on the phone. Despite these pressures, they remained at the forefront of the fight against the deadly virus.
This book brings together deeply personal stories of caring for patients in wards and ICU, of feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing the fear of getting infected and passing Covid on to their families. There are also moving tales of personal growth and finding renewed purpose. In Our Own Words shows the extreme resilience of nurses – even in the face of adversity. And that at the core of a 'true' nurse remains the commitment to the patient.
'A powerful and moving account from the coalface of the Covid-19 response – this is a must read!' – Salim Abdool Karim

    »We are at a turning point in human history. To stop climate breakdown and extinction,environmental movements need to be actively anti-racist and join struggles for social justice.«Carola RacketeIn 2019, Carola Rackete became publicly known for docking the sea rescue vessel »Sea-Watch 3« in Italy and thereby challenging a nationaldecree that contradicted internationalobligations to engage in sea rescue. Due to this act of civil disobedience and her public confrontation of the Italian far right and the structural racism of the EU's Fortress Europe policy, Carola became a powerful symbol for people seeking to take practical action for a world based on justice and equality. Carola has worked in the polar regions since 2011 and holds a degree in natural resources management. Consequently, her book shows how the ecological crises we are facing today are rooted in social and political power structures. The book details moments of the rescue mission but also connects the dots to forced migration and the urgency of our environmental predicament. Overall, it is a call to engage and act to become part of initiatives and movements struggling for social and environmental justice.This version of the book includes a new afterword focused on centring justice and human rights in nature and biodiversity conservation-a topic often overlooked by climate activists in the Global North.The authors will donate the revenue from this book to the association borderline-europe-Menschenrechte ohne Grenzen e.V. in order to launch a new criminalization fund. The money from this fund will be used to support refugees who are criminalized in the EU for fleeingtoEurope.Acknowledgements: This audio book has been made possible by the voluntary contributions of many people, most notably Marysa Abbas who is the voiceover artist of this audioproject, Diane Hielscher who provided her studio "LifeX Lab-wir machen Medien für eine neue Welt" for the recordings and production, Céline Keller who contributed the cover art, Alfio Furnari from Borderline-Europe who managed administration and contracts, the management of liberaudio as well as Anne Weiss who got the projectrolling and connected everyone. My gratitude and thanks to all of you. Carola Rackete

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    This book takes a deep dive into the intricate world of epilepsy, encompassing its diagnosis, treatment, and scholarly exploration with a keen critical eye. Its primary mission is to present a compelling argument, challenging the prevailing biomedical approach's narrow focus on the brain as the sole locus of intervention for epilepsy. By doing so, it underscores that such an exclusive perspective falls short of addressing the multidimensional needs of individuals living with epilepsy and comprehending their profound lived experiences. 
    In response to this critical shortfall, it proposes a radical departure from the conventional reliance on pharmaceuticals and biological pathways. This innovative approach promises to unveil novel treatments and foster a holistic understanding of the human body's intricacies. By transcending the current biomedical boundaries, this approach has the power to alleviate the suffering of the estimated 70 million people worldwide who grapple with epilepsy.  
    This book represents a beacon of hope and a new era of enlightenment in epilepsy care, potentially significantly enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals affected by this condition.

It is both a scientific exploration and a spiritual meditation, guiding us toward a vision of humanity as stewards of a living cosmos.
