  Skulls, height, hands, legs, sex organs, blood, brains, stomachs, ears and corpses – discover Irish history anew through the utterly unique prism of the human body.
  From the brutal beheading of the red-headed Clonycavan Man some 2,000 years ago to the ancient skulls – believed to be those of giants – stolen from islands off Ireland's west coast, medical historian Dr Ian Miller brings readers on a delightfully gruesome journey through our rich heritage.
  Learn about the fears of excessive tea drinking that were once such a great cause for concern on this isle – scarcely believable! Meet the doctors who revolutionised Irish medicine in the 19th century – along with the deplorable bodysnatching that accompanied this progress.
  Fact and folklore intertwine seamlessly throughout, providing the reader with an endlessly fascinating account of matters historical and mythological.

  Body Am I - The New Science of...

  The body is central to our sense of identity. Bodily awareness, says scientist-writer Moheb Costandi, is key to self-consciousness. In Body Am I, Costandi examines how the brain perceives the body, how that perception translates into our conscious experience of the body, and how that experience contributes to our sense of self. Along the way, he explores what can happen when the mechanisms of bodily awareness are disturbed, leading to such phenomena as phantom limbs, alien hands, and amputee fetishes. 
   
   
    
  Costandi explains that the brain generates maps and models of the body that guide how we perceive and use it, and that these maps and models are repeatedly modified and reconstructed. Drawing on recent bodily awareness research, the new science of self-consciousness, and historical milestones in neurology, he describes a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders that result when body and brain are out of sync, including not only the well-known phantom limb syndrome but also phantom breast and phantom penis syndromes; body integrity identity disorder, which compels a person to disown and then amputate a healthy arm or leg; and such eating disorders as anorexia. 
   
   
    
  Wide-ranging and meticulously researched, Body Am I offers new insight into self-consciousness by describing it in terms of bodily awareness.

  Prolonged Casualty Care is a comprehensive, clinically grounded audiobook designed for medical responders operating in austere, remote, and high-threat environments where evacuation is delayed or denied. Built upon contemporary Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) doctrine and the Joint Trauma System Prolonged Casualty Care guidelines, this audiobook provides a structured progression from immediate battlefield trauma management into the realities of sustained, resource-limited care. 
  The content is written for listeners qualified at the Combat Life Saver level or higher and systematically expands into the clinical, nursing, logistical, and decision-making challenges that define prolonged care. Each chapter follows a clear minimum, better, best framework, allowing practitioners to adapt evidence-based interventions to their available resources, skill level, and operational constraints. Topics include haemorrhage control, airway and ventilation, circulation and resuscitation, head injury and temperature management, pain and sedation, antibiotics and sepsis, wound and burn care, nursing interventions, documentation, communications, and telemedicine support. 
  More than a procedural guide, Prolonged Casualty Care emphasises clinical judgement, reassessment, and systems thinking over time. It prepares medics, clinicians, and medical planners to sustain life, preserve function, and prevent secondary injury when definitive care is not immediately accessible. 
  This audiobook is based on the Joint Trauma Systems' Clinical Practice Guidelines for PCC. It also draws from Dr Rocky Farr's book called 'The end of the Golden Hour' which can be downloaded for free here. https://tinyurl.com/Rocky-Farr 
  This audiobook is intended as both a standalone learning resource and a doctrinal companion for advanced training programmes in prolonged field care, remote medicine, and operational healthcare.

  The Book of Flaco - The World’s...

  The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. 
   
   
   
  Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats, squirrels, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. 
   
   
   
  Flaco's urban adventure brought controversy, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the safety of the zoo against those who created the "Free Flaco" movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought scores of enthusiasts to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban environments, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City.
