  Lynn Soles made her career about creating beauty – as an artist, art teacher, tattoo artist and owner of a “permanent beauty” clinic. Then her doctors told her she had cancer. She had to choose: Die soon and ugly from cancer or enter a long course of treatments that might allow her to regain the life she’d known.  
  This remarkable memoir and guidebook, written in the course of her first year of treatment, gives real-life guidance for best supporting others through long-term illnesses and surgeries. Practical tips describe:how a cancer friend is different from other friends; things to say (and things never to say!) to your friend in treatment; essential cancer self-care tips for the habitual Superwoman;specific ways to ask for and give help to a person exhausted by cancer treatments.  
  You’ll laugh with Lynn as she and her family adjust to the changes treatment causes. You’ll be amazed by her contractor husband’s commitment to support her–even applying her eyelashes to the sounds of crooner Dean Martin. You’ll sense her longing as family holiday traditions, client care schedules, and the most mundane of daily tasks are revised to accommodate her chemotherapy-induced exhaustion. You’ll marvel at the perseverance cancer treatment can teach and learn to respect the times when a patient needs to rest in the “cancer cocoon.”  
  Hollywood stars rely on beauty professionals like Lynn to keep them physically beautiful right to the day their body is viewed in its coffin. Lynn’s cancer journey will inspire you to reconsider whether your hope rests in the beautiful things of this world that will fade away, and to rethink what it means to leave a beautiful, eternal Christian legacy.

  Mastitis - Causes Symptoms and...

  Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue that often results from an infection. It is a condition that primarily affects women, especially those who are breastfeeding, although it can also occur in non-lactating women and, in rare cases, men. The inflammation associated with mastitis is typically caused by bacteria entering the breast tissue through a cracked or sore nipple, though other factors such as blocked milk ducts, hormonal changes, or injury to the breast can also contribute. Mastitis is not only physically painful but can also cause significant emotional distress, particularly for new mothers who may already be dealing with the challenges of breastfeeding and caring for an infant. 
  The importance of understanding mastitis lies in its ability to impact both the physical and emotional well-being of those affected. When left untreated, mastitis can lead to complications such as breast abscesses, which may require surgical intervention. Additionally, untreated or recurrent mastitis can cause long-term issues with breastfeeding, leading to early weaning or, in some cases, chronic breast pain. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are critical for preventing these complications and ensuring the best possible outcome for the individual. 
  While mastitis is most commonly associated with breastfeeding, it is essential to recognize that the condition can affect women and men in other contexts as well. For non-lactating women, mastitis can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy or menopause. Men, though rarely affected, can also experience mastitis, often as a result of an infection or other underlying health issue. Understanding the different causes, symptoms, and risk factors of mastitis can help individuals identify the condition early and seek appropriate medical care before it progresses into something more serious.

  The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
   
   
    
  Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
   
   
    
  Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

  Starved for Light - The Long...

  A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
   
  
  Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.
