  In When the City Stopped, Robert Snyder tells the story of COVID-19 in the words of ordinary New Yorkers, illuminating the fear and uncertainty of life in the early weeks and months, as well as the solidarity that sustained the city. New Yorkers were "alone together," separated by the protective measures of social distancing and the fundamental inequalities of life and work in New York City. Through their personal accounts, we see that while many worked from home, others knowingly exposed themselves to the dangers of the pandemic as they drove buses, ran subways, answered 911 calls, tended to the sick, and made and delivered meals. 
   
   
   
  Snyder builds bridges of knowledge and empathy between those who bore dangerous burdens and those who lived in relative safety. The story is told through the words of health care workers, grocery clerks, transit workers, and community activists who recount their experiences in poems, first-person narratives, and interviews. When the City Stopped preserves for future generations what it was like to be in New York when it was at the center of the pandemic.

  Water is the essence of life — yet across the world, it’s vanishing. Rivers are drying, aquifers collapsing, and once-fertile plains turning to dust. From Cape Town to California, scarcity is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality. 
  In The Thirsting Earth, Alex Southwick journeys across a planet running out of its most vital resource. Through powerful reportage and vivid human stories, Southwick uncovers the fault lines where drought, politics, and inequality collide — and where innovation and resilience are beginning to take root. 
  We meet the communities reviving ancient water-harvesting traditions, scientists reimagining desalination, and activists fighting to reclaim water as a common good rather than a commodity. Together, they offer a glimpse of a future where survival depends not on conquest of nature, but on collaboration with it. 
  Urgent, humane, and unforgettable, The Thirsting Earth is both a warning and a testament — a chronicle of crisis, and a call to rediscover our most elemental connection to the world.

  Nephrology - Kidney Diseases and...

  Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney-related diseases. The kidneys, two vital organs located in the lower back, play an essential role in maintaining the body's overall health by filtering waste, regulating fluid levels, balancing electrolytes, and controlling blood pressure. In addition to their role in excretion, the kidneys are crucial in regulating the body's internal environment, making nephrology an integral field in medicine. Nephrology encompasses a wide range of diseases and conditions, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), kidney stones, glomerular diseases, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The growing incidence of kidney-related disorders, particularly CKD, has made nephrology a crucial part of healthcare systems worldwide. 
  The importance of nephrology in healthcare cannot be overstated, as kidney diseases often develop silently, showing few symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Early detection is vital in preventing the progression of kidney disease and reducing complications, including kidney failure. With millions of individuals affected by CKD and a steadily rising number of patients with end-stage renal disease, nephrologists play an indispensable role in diagnosis, treatment, and management. Kidney diseases require a multidisciplinary approach, with nephrologists working closely with other specialists, such as dietitians, nurses, and social workers, to ensure comprehensive care for patients. 
  Historically, nephrology has made significant strides in both research and clinical care. The discovery of the kidney’s essential functions, including its ability to filter waste and maintain homeostasis, paved the way for understanding kidney diseases. The development of dialysis in the mid-20th century allowed patients with kidney failure to survive by mimicking the filtration functions of the kidneys.

  Herbert Simms - An Architect for...

  Dublin's teeming slums, long regarded as the worst in Europe, were teetering on the brink of structural and sanitary public catastrophe during the early twentieth century. To tackle the crisis, Herbert Simms was appointed the city's first housing architect. During a sixteen-year period, from 1932 until 1948, Simms and his team planned, commissioned and built an astounding 17,000 homes –some as inner-city flat complexes, others as family houses in newly-created suburbs such as Crumlin and Cabra.
  Like the city's acclaimed Georgian squares, the Simms-designed Corporation flats in particular have stood the test of time, injecting a touch of art deco and modernist glamour to neglected neighbourhoods. This comprehensive guide to the Simms buildings also highlights the many struggles with politicians and bureaucrats Simms and his staff experienced as they did their best to build well-designed, affordable housing for the people of Dublin.

  The TR-3B Black Manta - What is...

  The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
  The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
  Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
  There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
  Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
  This is what I’m trying to do in this book.
