  Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
   
   
   
  Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
   
   
   
  Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
   
   
   
  The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.

  Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
  When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
  I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
  Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
  Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
  Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.

  Global health is a field that aims to improve health and achieve equity in health for people around the world. It involves understanding health issues that go beyond national boundaries and are influenced by conditions in various parts of the globe. The primary goal of global health is to reduce health disparities and enhance well-being on an international level by examining how diseases spread, what factors affect health, and the most effective methods to improve public health outcomes. 
    
  Global health is defined as the study, research, and practice that focuses on improving health and promoting health equity for all populations across the world. It takes a collaborative approach that involves multiple disciplines to address health challenges globally, striving to reduce inequalities in health outcomes. 
    
  The importance of global health lies in its role in preventing and controlling diseases that can affect populations worldwide. Health issues like infectious diseases do not recognize national borders, and global health efforts are essential in minimizing their spread and impact. The field also emphasizes reducing differences in health outcomes among populations by working to ensure that all people have access to necessary healthcare services, regardless of where they live or their economic situation.

  It’s Not You It’s the Dating Apps

  It’s Not You, It’s the Dating Apps is the book I wish someone had handed me years ago, back when I was wasting thousands of hours swiping on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and even Facebook Dating, wondering why online dating felt so hopeless. After getting divorced, becoming a sober single dad, and listening to countless men and women in real life talk about their dating struggles, I finally saw the truth: nothing is wrong with me, and nothing is wrong with you—the problem is the dating apps themselves. In this brutally honest book, I share why these platforms feed us bots, contractors, catfish, scammers, marketing funnels, and fake “likes,” how they weaponize rejection, how they destroy confidence, and how they keep us swiping instead of actually meeting anyone. Modern dating has become algorithm dating, and the more time and money you give the apps, the worse your results get. I explain why good women and good men rarely connect online, why dating after divorce is even harder on apps, and why real-world connection always beats digital matching. Most importantly, I share the twenty-five real-life ways I’m now meeting women without apps—fitness classes, yoga, run clubs, museums, co-working spaces, volunteering, spiritual communities, dinner parties, dog parks, travel, and even just saying hi at Whole Foods. This book isn’t from a dating coach; it’s my raw, sober, first-person account of walking away from online dating and rebuilding my love life through actual human connection. If you’re tired of swiping, tired of feeling invisible, tired of dating burnout, and ready to meet people in person again, this book will show you exactly how I’m doing it—and why deleting the apps might be the best thing that ever happens to you.

  Strength in Numbers - How Polls...

  G. Elliott Morris

  Public opinion polling is the ultimate democratic process; it gives every person an equal voice in letting elected leaders know what they need and want. But in the eyes of the public, polls today are tarnished. Recent election forecasts have routinely missed the mark and media coverage of polls has focused solely on predicting winners and losers. 
   
   
   
  In Strength in Numbers, data journalist G. Elliott Morris argues that the larger purpose of political polls is to improve democracy, not just predict elections. Whether used by interest groups, the press, or politicians, polling serves as a pipeline from the governed to the government, giving citizens influence they would otherwise lack. No one who believes in democracy can afford to give up on polls; they should commit, instead, to understanding them better. 
   
   
   
  Morris takes listeners from the first semblance of data-gathering in the ancient world through to the development of modern-day scientific polling. He explains how the internet and "big data" have solved many challenges in polling—and created others. He covers the rise of polling aggregation and methods of election forecasting, reveals how data can be distorted and misrepresented, and demystifies the uncertainty of polling. Acknowledging where polls have gone wrong in the past, Morris charts a path for the industry's future.
