  Care Without Pathology - How...

  Over the past two decades, medical and therapeutic approaches to transgender patients have changed radically, from treating a supposed pathology to offering gender-affirming care. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in New York City and Buenos Aires, Care without Pathology moves across the Americas to show how trans- health activists have taken on the project of depathologization. 
   
   
   
  In New York, Christoph Hanssmann examines activist attempts to overturn bans on using public health dollars to fund trans- health care. In Argentina, he traces how trans- activists marshaled medical statistics and personal biographies to reveal state violence directed against trans- people and travestis. Hanssmann also demonstrates the importance of understanding transphobia in the broader context of gendered racism, ableism, and antipoverty, arguing for the rise of a thoroughly coalition-based mass mobilization. 
   
   
   
  Care without Pathology highlights the distributive arguments activists made to access state funding for health care, combating state arguments that funding trans- health care is too specialized, too expensive, and too controversial. Hanssmann situates trans- health as a crucible within which sweeping changes are taking place—with potentially far-reaching effects on the economic and racial barriers to accessing care.

  Intersection of Science and...

  Today, the Catholic Church understands science and religion as having a mutual and complementary relationship. Now, you can explore how the two work together in this program.  Since Pius XII wrote the papal encyclical Humani Generis in 1950, scientific discovery has been a topic of lively discussion in the Church. In The Intersection of Science and Theology, you will explore the place of science in the Christian tradition. Using the writings of Jesuit priest and scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin as a basis, these lectures look at God’s two greatest gifts to humans: the Bible and nature.  You will begin by looking at how early Christian apologists, like Tertullian and Irenaeus, tackled questions about science. You will then move through history, looking at debates about faith and reason throughout the centuries. Along the way, you will encounter Isaac Newton, the Enlightenment, Cardinal John Henry Newman, and the controversy caused by Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.  As you move into the twentieth century, you will explore the scientific and religious writings of Teilhard, as well as the thought of contemporary scientists. You will look at how these scientists derived from their research a sense of wonder and reverence for creation. In our modern world, biblical creation and the theory of evolution are often seen as contradictory. As you will come to understand, however, creation and evolution actually work together.  Understanding science is essential for truly grasping religion. Embark on this exploration today.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

  He was a cardiologist at the top of his game-until his own body turned on him. On an ordinary Monday, a sudden cramp in Dr. Deepak Thekkoott's leg sent him on a harrowing journey from healer to patient. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he was thrown into the chaos of hospitals, chemo, and confronting death-all while trying to hold his family, his faith, and his sense of self together. Silk and Clay: A Physician's Journey of Cancer, Survival, and Restored Faith is a richly layered narrative that weaves together medicine, memory, and migration-told with unflinching honesty and spiritual depth. It is about what it means to heal when the cure might kill you, and to carry centuries of culture and love through each brutal day. With sharp detail, searing vulnerability, and flashes of dry wit, Dr. Deepak invites us into a body broken, a spirit searching, and a soul that refuses to be undone.

  What We Know about Climate...

  This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).
  
  
  
  This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.
  
  
  
  What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
