    1.8 million people are directly affected by psychiatry in France. 350,000 are in hospital. For every 1,000 inhabitants, there is one compulsory hospitalization. Yet this system, which generates social exclusion and stigmatization, dominates. Admitted at the age of 16, Christelle Rosar was hospitalized for twenty years. They tied her down, injected her with drugs, and kept her in a vegetative state. She saw patients who remained in hospital from adolescence until their death, and others who gradually suffered the side effects of the treatments. Now free, she tells us about her struggles to regain her independence and her place in society, and denounces the abuses and failings of the French psychiatric system, which is particularly violent.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Written for curious beginners, students, clinicians-in-training, and informed patients, this guide explains the science and day-to-day realities of multiple sclerosis in clear, compassionate language. You’ll learn how an immune-mediated attack on myelin disrupts brain and spinal cord signaling; how typical presentations such as optic neuritis, sensory change, imbalance, and weakness are evaluated; and how diagnosis uses clinical history plus MRI evidence of dissemination in time and space, sometimes supported by cerebrospinal-fluid oligoclonal bands and the McDonald criteria. Understand current disease-modifying therapies (injectable, oral, and monoclonal), what they can and cannot do, and how acute relapses are treated (usually high-dose corticosteroids; plasma exchange when steroid-refractory). Equally, this book emphasizes rehabilitation, fatigue and mood management, heat sensitivity, cognition, exercise, nutrition, pregnancy planning, and shared decision-making. A vivid opening vignette follows “Aisha,” a young designer with sudden blurred vision, through referral, imaging, treatment choices, and building a relapse action plan—turning complex neurology into practical steps. 
     
    ✓ Plain-English primers with clinician-level sidebars, flowcharts, and a jargon-free glossary. 
    ✓ Case vignettes and “ask your neurologist” checklists mapped to every stage of care. 
    ✓ MRI & lab walkthroughs: lesion patterns, dissemination rules, red flags, and pitfalls. 
    ✓ Treatment landscape decoded: DMT classes, safety monitoring, vaccination timing. 
    ✓ Daily-living playbook: fatigue pacing, mobility, cognition, work, travel, and heat. 
    ✓ Practical tools: symptom tracker, flare diary, medication matrix, goal-setting sheets.

  • Born of Fire and Rain - Journey into a Pacific Coastal Forest - cover

    Born of Fire and Rain - Journey...

    M.L. Herring

    If you live on a rapidly changing planet, you'd be wise to learn how it works. The giant old forests on a skinny stretch of land on the far west coast of North America have a lot to say about living in a twitchy world. 
     
     
      
    In this engaging book science writer M. L. Herring takes listeners into the Pacific temperate rainforest at the tumultuous edge of a shifting continent in a precarious moment of time. Listeners peek behind the magnificent scenery into a forest of ancient trees, exploding mountains, disappearing owls, tsunamis, megafires, and ten million people to learn what it means to be a forest in a world of upheavals. 
     
     
      
    Through Herring's words, listeners drift into the canopy through masses of ferns and lichens, burrow into soil through hair-thin threads of fungi, and plunge headlong through a watershed flushed with rain and snowmelt. Listeners experience the temperate rainforest through science and art as it faces a shifting climate and the shifting priorities of a constantly changing society. The book journeys beyond the grid of latitude and longitude and into places only one's imagination can fit, to discover what it means to be human in an ecological world.
