  In the book Fatal Chemistry, one gets to know the frightful reality of the rise of fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that has changed the face of addiction, broken families, and put the limits of medicine, policy, and even human nature to the test. This book, by its very compelling nature and with the power of the investigative journalists, dives deep into how fentanyl changed from being a breakthrough in medicine to a dangerous drug that is the cause of the drug epidemic in the community worldwide, which is distributed on the streets. 
  Aside from the history of the opiates, the dark side of the web in the illegal trade, Fatal Chemistry uncovers the driving forces behind the epidemic that are concealed. You understand how the stress, trauma, and social life problems of the early years lead to addiction – but also realize how science, empathy, and prevention can be the answer to it. 
  If so, the person is a medical provider, a policymaker, an educator, or simply someone who wants to know the real story behind the news. Fatal Chemistry is full of both learning and optimism – an uncommon mixture of reality, people's experiences, and useful insights. 
  In here, you will find: 
  •	The untold history of opioids and the birth of fentanyl 
  •	How illicit fentanyl entered the global market — and why it's so deadly 
  •	The anatomy of the epidemic and its devastating ripple effects 
  •	Real-world approaches to treatment, recovery, and harm reduction 
  •	The science behind stress, trauma, and addiction 
  •	Proven strategies for overdose prevention and community resilience 
  Fatal Chemistry: Inside the Fentanyl Crisis is more than a piece of writing; it is a realization. Informative, very emotional, and profoundly human, this must-have piece of writing will alter the way in which you view addiction, recovery, and the world surrounding you.

  The Philosophy of Social Ecology...

  Murray Bookchin, Todd McGowan

  What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. In the essays of The Philosophy of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin confronts these questions head on: invoking the ideas of mutualism, self-organization, and unity in diversity, in the service of ever expanding freedom. 
   
   
   
  Refreshingly polemical and deeply philosophical, these essays take issue with technocratic and mechanistic ways of understanding and relating to, and within, nature. More importantly, they develop a solid, historically and politically based ethical foundation for social ecology, the field that Bookchin himself created and that offers us hope in the midst of our climate catastrophe.

  The History of France Under...

  Emerging from France's catastrophic 1940 defeat like a bedraggled and rather sinister phoenix, the French State – better known to history as “Vichy France” or the “Vichy Regime” after its spa-town capital – stands in history as a unique and bizarre creation of German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler's European conquests. A patchwork of paradoxes and contradictions, the Vichy Regime maintained a quasi-independent French nation for some time after the Third Reich invasion until the Germans decided to include it in their occupation zone. Headed by a French war hero of World War I, Marshal Philippe Petain, and his later Prime Minister Pierre Laval, Vichy France displayed strong right-wing, conservative, and authoritarian tendencies, though it never lapsed fully into fascism until the Germans arrived to reduce its role to little more than a mask over their own dominion. Petain carried out several major initiatives in an effort to counteract the alleged “decadence” of modern life and to restore the strength and “virtues” of the French “race.” Accordingly, he received willing support from more conservative elements of society, even some factions within the Catholic Church.  
  Of course, not all French people proved willing to surrender to the Nazi invaders, however. While large numbers “collaborated” – working for German or Vichy companies to provide for themselves or their families – and some wholeheartedly backed the new regime out of opportunism, fascist conviction, or other motivations, many courageous French resisted the Nazis and the quisling Vichy state. At the same time, despite the legends, the French Resistance never grew into a single unified organization. Rather, it remained divided in several major and numerous minor factions, each with their own philosophy and agenda. While these factions all shared the same goal – opposition to the Germans their Vichy pawns – they viewed each other with some suspicion and sometimes cooperated only grudgingly.
