  What If Saving a Life Didn’t Limit You, but Propelled You to New Heights? 
  When retired emergency physician and kidney donor Matt Harmody joined a team of four other donors to climb the highest peak in every U.S. state, they weren’t just chasing a Guinness world record. They were out to prove a radical truth: Life after kidney donation has no limits. 
  Ascending America takes you on an edge-of-your-seat journey through brutal weather, bone-deep exhaustion, and breathtaking landscapes. Alongside the adventure, Harmody dispels common myths about donation, explains dialysis and recovery in clear, human terms, and reveals breakthroughs shaping the future of transplantation. 
  Inside this book, you’ll discover: 
  Why living kidney donors often outlive the people they save, and why their bodies thrive. 
  How one kidney donation can start a chain that saves dozens of lives. 
  What it really takes to conquer 50 summits in 41 days (and what those challenges reveal about human resilience). 
  The neuroscience of altruism and why donors often gain more than they give. 
  The future of transplantation, from animal organs to stem-cell innovations. 
  Both a pulse-pounding outdoor adventure and a call to action, Ascending America shows how extraordinary things happen when courage, science, and human generosity collide. Buy your copy today and rethink what is possible.

Written by a renowned landscape architect, this book offers a new perspective on our place in the world and a compelling vision for a regenerative future. 
  In an era plagued by environmental disasters and global challenges, the book argues that our exploitative and fragmented relationship with nature is at the root of these issues.

It offers a roadmap for reconnecting with the larger community of life. 
  Through a captivating narrative, the author explores the interconnectedness of the living world and the urgent need to shift from a human-centric mindset to one that embraces the wisdom of nature. It demonstrates with inspiring examples from around the world how landscapes can become catalysts for healing and regeneration, leading to improved well-being and sustainability. 
  Portrait to Landscape presents a holistic approach to restoring the earth, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of environmental degradation. The book outlines practical strategies for policymakers, activists, and individuals to protect and restore landscapes, emphasising collaboration and long-term stewardship. 
  With passion and expertise, the book calls on global citizens to take action and become active participants in the healing process. It offers a powerful message of hope and possibility. 
  This thought-provoking book will inspire readers to join the movement towards a more sustainable and regenerative future. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our place in the world and how we can inhabit it with integrity.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  Your eGFR is 52. Nobody explained what that means. 
  Chronic kidney disease usually arrives as a line on a blood test rather than a symptom: a number, a stage, and a follow-up in three months. In the gap, the internet supplies dialysis statistics and recipe books. This book supplies the explanation instead. 
  Written in plain, unhurried English, it sets out what the tests actually measure, what the stages really signify, what genuinely slows progression, and why most people at stage 3 stay there. 
  Inside:• What eGFR and ACR measure, and why the second matters more 
  How to read your own results, line by line 
  The stages, the risk grid, and where you sit on it 
  Blood pressure: the one lever that changes the outcome 
  The medicines, including SGLT2 inhibitors 
  What to eat, and the renal diet most people do not need 
  Sick day rules, and the mistake that costs kidney functionPart of The Clear Diagnosis Series from Meridian Publishers.
