  You love a true survival story, but most of them take twelve hours to tell one shipwreck, and you never get to the end before the commute changes.
  
  This audiobook gives you nine complete true disaster stories, each finished in a single sitting and each told through one real, documented survivor. You stand in the street as a city burns, hear a dam give way upstream, and count the minutes in a collapsed mine with the people who were actually there. Every account is built from inquiry records, survivor testimony and the reporting of the day, and every chapter closes with a short look at how we know what happened and how that night changed fire codes, building rules or rescue practice you still rely on.
  
  By the last chapter you will know how ordinary people think when the floor gives way, and why the world around you is built the way it is. Press play on the way to work, and let the survivors tell it themselves.

  African American Slave Medicine offers a critical examination of how African American slaves' medical needs were addressed during the years before and surrounding the Civil War. Drawing upon ex-slave interviews conducted during the 1930s and 1940s by the Works Project Administration (WPA), Dr. Herbert C. Covey inventories many of the herbal, plant, and non-plant remedies used by African American folk practitioners during slavery. He demonstrates how active the slaves were in their own medical care and the important role faith played in the healing process. This book links each referenced plant or herb to modern scientific evidence to determine its actual worth and effects on the patients. Through his study, Dr. Covey unravels many of the complex social relationships found between the African American slaves, Whites, folk practitioners, and patients. African American Slave Medicine is compelling and captivating listening that will appeal to scholars of African American history and those interested in folk medicine.
