Summary

This is a history of St Joseph's Māori Girls' College, which has become the second oldest Māori boarding school and was started by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in 1867.

Its teachings are grounded in whānaungatanga, Māoritanga, religious values and academic excellence. The college has given rise to numerous Māori trailblazers in a variety of fields. This book brings together the recollections of former pupils, staff and whānau (over 160 interviews were conducted). At its core, it is a story of sisterhood.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Ghost Soldiers" by Hampton Sides tells the story of the daring raid on the Cabanatuan prison camp in the Philippines during World War II. It narrates the experiences of American soldiers held captive by the Japanese, enduring brutal conditions, starvation, and disease, and the efforts of a group of U.S. Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerillas to liberate them. The book also highlights a clandestine network of support, including Claire Phillips's spy ring and the brave efforts of Chaplain Robert Taylor, who provide essential aid to the POWs from the outside. The book contrasts the brutality of war with the resilience of the human spirit and explores themes of sacrifice, courage, and the will to survive.

    Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. 
 
 
 
Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment. 
 
  
 
Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.
