  Witches, Midwives, and Nurses examines how women-led healing was delegitimized to make way for patriarchy, capitalism, and the emerging medical industry. 
   
   
   
  As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of healthcare in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work.

  Despite a century of impressive advances in neuroscience, few true breakthroughs in mental health treatment have emerged. At a time of escalating mental health challenges across the globe, what have we missed by focusing on rats and mice in brain research and neglecting other species with equally complex and adaptive brains? In Wild Brains, Kelly Lambert invites listeners on a captivating journey to rethink traditional animal research models, venturing beyond the confines of the laboratory to explore the extraordinary promise of studying animal brains in the wild.With Lambert as your guide, you'll discover neural clues that help us understand the mischievous raccoon, the shape-shifting octopus, the family-focused owl monkey, the industrious beaver, and elephants that engage in deceptive behavior. Can naked mole rats unlock secrets to aging well? Could the play behaviors of animals offer mood-boosting strategies for humans? Can prairie voles help us decode the neural roots of human connection? Lambert draws on historical insights as well as her own groundbreaking research—from teaching rats to drive tiny cars to testing the problem-solving skills of mouse lemurs in Madagascar—to reveal what wild brains can teach us about emotional resilience, stress regulation, social bonding, and longevity.

  A neuroscience-informed guide to understanding your autistic brain, body, and mind. 
   
  "A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper, kinder understanding of neurodiversity―from the inside out." 
  ―Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love 
   
  Autism is not simply a difference in thinking―it is an embodied experience shaped by heightened sensory awareness, nervous system sensitivity, and perceptual intensity. For many autistic adults, this can lead to sensory overwhelm, shutdowns, difficulty with social expectations, and challenges navigating a world designed for neurotypical minds. 
   
  In this groundbreaking guide, autistic psychologist Sarah Bergenfield offers a new way of understanding autism as a condition of sensory surplus, supported by both personal insight and emerging scientific research. Psychotherapist Martha Sweezy joins Bergenfield in adapting internal family systems (IFS) therapy alongside principles from neuroscience and polyvagal theory to help autistic readers better understand their internal experiences and nervous system responses. 
   
  With this neuroaffirming guide, you'll learn how to:Understand autism as an embodied sensory experience rooted in the brain, body, and nervous systemRecognize patterns of sensory overwhelm, shutdown, and emotional dysregulationUse adapted IFS tools to build inner understanding and compassionApply insights from neuroscience and polyvagal theory to regulate stress and sensory overloadAdvocate for your needs in relationships, work, and daily lifeCultivate lasting self-acceptance as an autistic person 
   
  Through compassionate guidance and evidence-informed tools, this audiobook helps you make sense of sensory disorganization, social expectations, and internal conflict―so you can navigate the world with greater confidence and self-trust. 
   
  Rather than viewing autism as a deficit, this empowering guide reframes it as perceptual diversity, helping you move beyond stigma, shame, and marginalization toward a life of authenticity, resilience, and flourishing. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Sarah Bergenfield, with audio engineering by Alex Brown. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  No Children It Makes Sense! -...

  “Kids are great. It’s a unique process that everyone should experience.” Except that today, 1 in 20 French people refuse to have children. What are the reasons for this “voluntary infertility?”
  Do we really know why we have children? Isn’t having children an obstacle to personal and professional development? In an overpopulated and polluted world, isn’t it selfish to take up too much space by having a family? Don’t children cost too much to individuals and to society?
  The author investigates with dozens of women and men for whom the “duty to procreate” rings hollow. Among these “non-parents” are exclusive lovers, artists, careerists, religious people, traumatized children, eternal teenagers, environmentalists, convinced Malthusians, as well as feminist activists who have made their refusal to give birth a standard, in order to assert themselves in a society that praises all mothers and family values.

  What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be? 
  In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just. 
  This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
  •	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
  •	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
  •	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
  Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.
