  Medicine by the People - How...

  A grassroots history of American medicine that shows how regular people were architects of medical knowledge and care. 
   
  Most histories of medicine center doctors: the standard-bearers of expertise and innovation. Yet these narratives underplay the role that ordinary people have, and always have had, on medicine and public health. 
   
  In colonial America, Black people's knowledge led to smallpox inoculations, stymying that epidemic. Midwives, more plentiful than doctors, also delivered babies more successfully. The Black community of the early 1900s educated the public on preventing tuberculosis. In the last half of the twentieth century, the Young Lords fought for better sanitation and increased medical infrastructure in their East Harlem neighborhood and queer people pushed the federal government for HIV/AIDS research with their activism. Grassroots community care has always been at the cutting edge of medicine, a hidden tradition of meeting need with dignity. Medicine by the People reveals that the history of American healthcare is, at its heart, a struggle over who gets to tell the story of illness.

  In *From Mines to Milestones*, Michael Metsemakers takes readers on a gritty, unfiltered journey through the mining industry in the vast, rugged outback of Western Australia. Born in a small country town, Michael never imagined he'd one day be operating 600-ton excavators, but his relentless drive and passion for heavy machinery propelled him through the ranks of Australia’s mining operations. 
  Starting as an 18-year-old roller operator with no knowledge of the industry, Michael quickly adapted to the unique challenges of the FIFO lifestyle. His story captures the highs and lows of working in harsh environments, the thrill of mastering powerful machinery, and the struggle to balance career and family life. 
  Now a father, Michael faces his toughest challenge yet: leaving the mines behind to be with his son and experience life’s most important milestones at home. In this memoir, he shares not only the technical aspects of his career but also the personal sacrifices, triumphs, and decisions that shaped his path. 
  With honesty and humility, Michael recounts his rise through the industry, offering a raw look at the determination it takes to succeed, the friendships formed in remote camps, and the emotional weight of a life lived between shifts in the outback and moments with loved ones. 
  *From Mines to Milestones* is not just a story about heavy machinery; it's a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of balance in a demanding world. Join Michael as he reflects on his past, contemplates his future, and invites readers to follow his incredible journey both in and out of the mines.

  Feral Borough

  Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
  'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás
