  Stress is an inevitable part of life, and everyone experiences it in different ways. It can be triggered by external factors, such as work pressures, relationship challenges, or financial difficulties, or it can stem from internal thoughts and perceptions. Understanding stress and its triggers is the first step toward managing it effectively. In this chapter, we will explore what stress is, how it impacts our well-being, and how we can recognize and understand the triggers that lead to stress. 
  At its core, stress is the body’s natural response to perceived threats or demands. When faced with a stressful situation, the body activates the "fight or flight" response, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that prepare us to take action. While this response is helpful in short bursts, prolonged stress can have serious consequences on both the mind and body. Chronic stress can lead to health problems such as anxiety, depression, digestive issues, and even heart disease. Recognizing when stress is becoming overwhelming is crucial for maintaining our health. 
  Triggers are the specific events, situations, or thoughts that set off the stress response. Triggers can vary from person to person, depending on their past experiences, personality, and current life circumstances. For one person, an argument with a loved one may be a significant trigger, while for someone else, the pressure of a looming deadline at work may be more stressful. By identifying and understanding our triggers, we can begin to take steps to manage them and prevent unnecessary stress.

  For two years the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world. The physician and medical historian Jacalyn Duffin presents a global history of the virus, with a focus on Canada.  
  Duffin describes the frightening appearance of the virus and its identification by scientists in China; subsequent outbreaks on cruise ships; the relentless spread to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and elsewhere; and the immediate attempts to confront it. COVID-19 next explores the scientific history of infections generally, and the discovery of coronaviruses in particular. Taking a broad approach, the book explains the advent of tests, treatments, and vaccines, as well as the practical politics behind interventions, including quarantines, barrier technologies, lockdowns, and social and financial supports. In concluding chapters Duffin analyzes the outcome of successive waves of COVID-19 infection around the world: the toll of human suffering, the successes and failures of control measures, vaccine rollouts, and grassroots opposition to governments’ attempts to limit the spread and mitigate social and economic damages.  
  Closing with the fraught search for the origins of COVID-19, Duffin considers the implications of an “infodemic” and provides an cautionary outlook for the future.

  Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.
  
  Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will
  
  
  ·       discover how hunting formed us,
  
  
  ·       examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity,
  
  
  ·       understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today's hunter,
  
  
  ·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,
  
  
  ·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and
  
  
  ·       gain inspiration to share hunting with others.
  
  
  Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.
